This morning, at 8 o'clock, the Queen was safely delivered of a princess. In the room with her Majesty were his royal high ness l'rince Albert, Dr. Locock, and Mrs. Lilly, the monthly nurse. In the adjoining rooms were the other medical attendants, Sir James Clarke and Dr. Ferguson, and also her royal highness the Duchess of Ken', the lady in waitin4 on the Queen, and the Ministers and Officers of State summoned on the oc casion. The Privy Councillors present were Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department ; Earl Grey, Secretary of State for the Colonies; Sir Charles Wood, Chancellor of the Exchequer; Earl Auckl-od, First Lord of the Admiralty ; Lord Camp bell, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ; Mr. Lebow here, President of the Board of Trade; •the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief; Earl Spencer, Lord Chamberlain; Fad Fortescue, Lord Steward ; the Duke of Norfolk, Master of the Horse. Ord re were immediately sent to the Council Office tar issue summonses to the Archbishop of GUI terburv, the Bishop of London, the cabinet ministers, and a *number of members of the Privy Council, to attend a council at half-past two o'clock precisely. The following is a copy of the summons : " Let the messenger acquaint the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, that a committee of their lordships is appointed to meet in the Cooracil Chamber, Whitehall, on Saturday, the 18th of March, at halt-past two of the clock pre cisely IRELAND. We have received the following by Electric Tele. graph: DUBLIN, MARCH 17. All i. aa been perfectly tranquil to-day; the demon ittratien is reserved for Monday next. NEWS FROM PARIS. IMMENSE ASSEMBLAGE OF THE PEOPLE. CLOSING OF THE BANK OF FRANCE. PAIL'S, FRIDAY, l A.H. This morning at half-past six the inhabitants of the entire line of the Boulevards were aroused by the noise and movement attending an unusual assemblage of persons. It soon became evident that all the operatives of the capital had met by common agreement at various points of ren dezvous, and soon commenced marching in regular ranks like disciplined soldiers (but quite unarmed) along the Boulevards, from the Bastile towards the Champs Elyse-es. We have witnessed this pro cession passing under our windows in uninterrupted succession for several hours. At a rough calculltion I should say that not less than a hundred thousand men have been thus marshalled forth. They are all of the working class, and of its lowest order. Their costume is invariably the blouse. They are officered by individuals distinguished by a blue scarf tied on the left arm, and edged with red fringe. These officers in some cases present the appearance of mechanics of the better class, such as foremen. But these are few. Several of these troops as they passed sang " Co ira," and shouted "lei arisforrates dto lanterne ?" The object of this mani festation is understood to be a counterpoise to the de monstration of the national guards on the previous day,as well as the organisation of several deputations, headed by clubs, which are to proceed to the Hotel de Ville, in order to make known to the provisional government their desire that the general election should be postponed. The government firally decided last night not to accede to the demands of the companies of Grenadiers sad Voltigeurs, and to leave their decree to be exe cuted without modification. The speech delivered by M. de Lamartine, in answer to the deputltion, gave the notional guards reason to believe that the request of the companies d'ilite would be granted, but the ultimate decision was just the contrary. An order of the day has just been issued by the com mandant-general of the national guard, reproving that corps for their demonstration, and exhorting them to order, and to be on friendly terms with the workmen. The national guard of the neighbourhood of Paris are reported to be prepared to assist their comrades of the capital. The principal topics of the Paris journals of this day are the decree for the suspension of cash payments by the Bank of France and the manifestation made yesterday by a portion of the national guards. As regards the first of these subjects, the journals, generally speaking, agree in expressing their entire approbation of the course that has been adopted, and in declaring their conviction that, if order be main tained, the suspension of cash payments will, not be of long duration, and will have served to enable the bank to continue the discounts, which otherwise must have ceased. On the manifestation of the National Guards, the opinions of the journals are divided. Some assert that it was proper; others that it was improper. Some ac knowledge the right of the National Guards to make the manifestation, but regret that it was made, and wonder that the evil consequences to which it might lead were not foreseen. The most remarkable articles on this subject are in the NeCenal and the Re- Amu.. These journals, from the immediate connec tion of one with M. Marrast, and of the other from its reputed connection with M. Ledru-Rollin, com mand particular attention. It will be seen that the language of the National is mild, and that of the Reiriee far lees violent than might have been ex pected from some of the articles which have appeared in its columns. The necessityof union is felt by both. Indeed it is or ought to be felt by all France. Allow ances should be made for the susceptibilities of every class of citizens, and if they are expressed in terms which are likely to rouse other susceptibilities in their turn, it is the duty of the public preseto restore harmony, and not to envenom the wounds that have been in flicted. At this moment the press has great power; it may contribute largely to the maintenance of order, and it would be highly criminal if it did not labour to produce this result. It is only by order that confi dence can be restored, and by confidence only can the new order of things be placed upon a basis which would render life and property secure, and assemble the National Assembly to put a glorious consumma tion to the work which in a short time will be placed in its hands. The National says : We adjure good citizens, and it is to the immense majority that this appeal is addressed, to unite all their efforts to maintain union. It would be deplorable that mi.'. und( standings, exaggerated beyond measure, should assume the prvportions of a grave dissension, of a serious grief. To lead our glorious and difficult work to a good end, we require that the ties of true fraternity shall unite all citizens in one body, whatever may be their costume and condition. The young republic, watched by jealous neighbours, by hostile powers. owes to itself and to the nstims which justly hope to see in it, the example of order in liberty. Let us not lease to our enemies the joy of seeing troubled this admirable con cert of good will and excellent sentiments, thanks to which the whole of France only forms a single family. The men who are placed at the head of the government understand the necessity of union ; they practice it sincerely, without my eirriere pen.tee, because better than any one they are con scious that any division would be a cause of weakness. Let no, the sensible citizens, associate ourselves to this idea, convince ourselves of this truth. Before accusing the inten tions of any one, before recriminating, let us take into ac count the difficulties of the moment, and instead of pro ceeding like distrustful men, let us conduct ourselves as sin cere republicans ought to do. Let not a character of inti midation tie given to demand+. even if just. All rights must ho maintained, all legitimate interests must be re spected. The goverment knows this, and the justice must be reederrd to it by admitting that it has never voluntarily faded it its duty. That certain measures might have been better ordered, certain words calculated to create distrustful auseeptibilities avoided, is what the government itself would cot deny. It does not pretend to be infallible. But it will be tram (d. that it has already accomplished noble, useful, great things Its work was difficult. and circumstances FRENCH REPUBLIC. LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY. LATEST FROM PARIS. .// mad* it stns salts Isleseies• We have not here, lens,, to laud the government. What we simply dents to may is, that good citizens, after the honest explazustions of the go vernment, cannot insist longer, without making those who are interested in disorder, and in the ruin of the Republic, gain their came. We make an appeal to concord in the name of the liberty of all, in the name of the common safety, and we know too well the iutelligent patriotism of the brave Parisian population, not to be smeared that the voice will be heard. Our devotedness to the holy cause of the Republic is known—may it be happy and great by the union of all its children, and the dearest of our wishes will be satisfied." The promised proclamation of the Provisional Government respecting the elections appeared in the journals this morning. From this document we quote the following passages: Every Frenchman who baa reached the age of manhood is a political citizen ; every citizen is an elector ; every elector is • sovereign. The right is equal and absolute for all. There is not a citizen who can say to another, " Thou art more sovereign than I." Contemplate your power, pre pare yourselves to exert it, and be worthy of entering into the possession of your reign. The Provisiona l Government wishes to see the public con science prevail. They little care for the old parties: the old parties have grown an age in three days. The Republic will convince them if she proves just and safe for them. Necessity is • great muter. The Republic know it well, has happiness of being a government of necessity. It is for us I. reflect. We cannot ascend to impossible royalty. We will not descend to unknown anarchy. We shall be repub lican by reason. Only give security, liberty, respect to all. Secure to others that independency of vote you desire fee yourselves. Do not look at the name which those you consider your enemies describe on their bulletin, and be assured before hand they inscribe the sole name which can save them—that of an able and upright republican. Citizens, France attempts, at this moment, amidst some financial difficulties, bequeathed by royalty, but under the most providential auspices, the greatest work of modern times ; the foundation of the government of the people, the organisation of democracy, the republic of all rights, of all interests, of all capacities, and of all virtues. Circumstances are propitious. Peace is possible. The new idea can take its piece in Europe with no other per turbation than that of the prejudices which were harboured against it. There is no anger in the minds of the people. If fugitive royalty did not lead away in its train all the enemies of the republic, it left them impotent ; and though they are invested with all these rights which the republic guarantees to the minority, their interest and their prudence assure' us that they will not endeavour to trouble the peace able foundation of the popular constitution. The Bank of France was altogether closed yards , day. It was understood that the artisans employed by it in printing notes, were engaged night and day in preparing the new 100 fr. notes to be issued under the decree of the government for the suspension or, cash payments published yesterday. One of the measures now talked of, in addition to those already adopted, to relieve the existing pressure, is to offer to all holders of treasury bonds which are not now negotiable on any terms, Three per Cent. Stock at its current price. Those who decline this proposition would be called on to snbmit to a post ponement of the liquidation of the bons for six, nine, or twelve months. These and all similar expedients savour too much of the shifts of insolvency. The announcement of the decree respecting the Bank was followed by an immediate rise in all prices at the Bonnie. Those sellers whose only motive was that of soceosire caution as to the security of their investmetts, withdrew, of course, when they became sensible that they only exchanged the security of the government for that of the bank. The Threes roue from 46 to 50, and the Fives from 69 to 73. Railway shares row in proportion. The following, amongst other decrees of the go vernment, each preceded by a report of the Minister of Finances, appears in the Moniteur this morning: Considering that the fallen government hes bequeathed to the Republic a floating debt payable immediately, or at an an early period, and which on the 24th February, amounted to no less a sum than 872 millions; con sidering that the Royal Bonds, • part of which hat already been paid off by the treasury of the Republic., still figure in the floating debt for a rum of 274,633,900 f.; considering that the greater: part of these bonds are the property of capitalists, whose interests are not directly con nected with those of industry and commerce ; considering that these bonds will not become unprofitable in the hands of holders, an the interest will continue to be paid at the rate of 5 per amt., the propositioa of the Minister of the Finances, decrees, that from the day of the promulgation of the present decree, and till the decision of the national amemply, the detainers of royal bonds created previous to the date of Feb. 24, 1848, are enabled to exchange them against coupons of the national loan, rents 6 per cent. at par. In case this exchange should not be accepted, these bonds will be reimbursed by the public treasury in specie, in the course of six months from the day they become due. Art. 2. The Treasury Bonds levied in exchange for specie or in other bonds, payable by the department of the finances since the es tablishment of the republic, shall have full right to be reim bursed in legal currency.—Art. 3. The member of the Pro visional Government, Minister of the Finances, is charged with she execution of the present decree. Given at Paris, in Government Council, March 16, 1848. Then follow the signatures. The following proclamation has been issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard, General Courtais : Citizens of the National Ouaids, Your mission is to maintain order and to strengthen the Republic by your energy. It is by giving an exempla of union that will cause a government to be respected which is founded on the principles of equality and fraternity. Some among you yesterday made a manifesta tion which, under existing circumstances, might give rise to doubts as to their devotedness and patriotism. But you have given too many pledges to the democratic cause for your intentions to bo suspected. Let those who have been led astray by bad advisers be on their guard aghast men who would snake them serve as instruments of their powerless anger and their conquered passions. Look at the people; they suffer, but they have confidence, and wait. During the combat they were heroic and con fident. After victory they . respected all rights, and now their moderation equals their courage. No ; they will have no inequality; they are on a level with every position and every glory. It was by them and for them that the revolution was made ; let your ranks he open to them. and let there be no longer a question of homages d'clite, but only of men elected by the voice of all. The monarchy, crumbled to dust beneath the fire of the barricades, has left behind it discontents, which affects the budget. Let them remain isolated. As to you, devoted men of the working classes, labourers by the arm and by intelligence, united under the same standard once more, it is by union that you will bring work into the establishments of labour, confidence to manufac turers, and thus constitute an immutable basis—that grand national unity which will defy all factions at home, and all enemies from abroad. (Signed) H. Caravels. The Madrid mails of the IRh have arrived. The only news of importar.ce they bring is the report that Gen. Espartero was seriously ill at Logrono. The government had ordered a levy of 50,000 men of the classes of 1817-8. This military preparation is chiefly intended for the repression of revolutionary movements in the interior. The prices of stocks on the Madrid Bolna on the 11th of March were—Three per Cents., 25k at 60 days; Five per Cents., 141 paper; Passives, 5 per;pa Coupons, 10 paper ; Bank of St. Ferdinand, 112 cash, 114 paper. Exchange on London, 47 50-100. The electoral law for the council general of Tuscany has just been published. Persons having an income from land amounting to 300 lire (250 f.), are electors; professors, magistrates, the clergy, lawyers, notaries, physicians, surgeons, engineers, and knights of the Tuscan orders, are likewise electors. Women, per sons under 23 years of age, and foreigners arc ex cluded. The Grand Duke convokes the electoral colleges ; the vote is secret. All electors 30 years of age and upwards are eligible, provided they be not senators; the number of deputies is 72. RESIGNATION OF DUTCH MINISTERS. Accounts from the Hague of the 16th bring news that the Datch ministers have resigned, and Herr Luzeec, one of the most prominent members of the liberal party in the second chamber of the States- General, has been summoned to the King's presence. The intelligence was received at Amsterdam on the ISth inst., about 4 p.m., by telegraph, and caused the greatest rejoicing. gaged since Nve.mber last, for the discovery of sources of phosphoric acid in different soils; and, on the mo tion of Mr. Fisher Hobbs, the council voted him their thanks for this statement, with a request that he would communicate it in writing to Mr. Pusey, M.P., the chair man of the journal committee.—The chairman thought it ponible that the existence of this acid would be ascertained in many of the mineral groups in different parts of the kiagdom, and especially in the Yorkshire hills, in the west of England, where there ran a district along the foot of the Welds remarkable for its fertility. BONES.—Mr. Miles, M.P., remarked that he had found, in repeating the important process of disintegrat ing bones for manure without the use of acid, as described by Mr. Pusey in the last part of the Society's Journal, that instead of sand, ashes, or earth, it was a great improvement to use sawdust as the material for covering up the heaps, double the amount of heat being real., d, and the disictegra. tion being effected much more tepidly and effectually. He piled up the hones into a heap, which be moistened well with water, and then covered wet r to the depth of two or three inches with sawdust, a process by which not only the bones themselves were rapidly converted into manure, but the saw-dust itself also. This plan, he observed, only I differed from that of Mr. Pusey in adopting, instead of earth or other mineral substance, the use of sawdust as a vegetable substance, generally at hand on all &raisin great abundance. —Mr. Nesbit remarked that he feared that by this process of decomposition much ammonia in a volatile state would be I develcr:ed and escape; but the chairman conceived that, even should such be the case, and the chemical change : be different in this process from what it is in dissolving bones by means of sulphuric acid, still in reference to the growth of turnips, it had been shown by the experiments of Mr. Way and Mr. Lewes that such lose s& ammonia would not he of m •ch consequence, as it is the phosphoric acid chiefly (however obtained. and under whatever condition presented), and not so much the volatile alkali, that the turnip seeks for its food and the source of its nourishment and increase. It was also remarked that Mr. Hudson, of Castleacre, in Norfolk, and alio an extensive farmer in Oxfordshire, had roue 4 by pretties). trial the most decided advantage in this socele of prepwring bones as recommended by Mr. rimy. rLIELTRO-PNLCMONIA.—Mr. Evan Davies, of Patton, in Shropshire, transmitted to the Council a statement or the successful administration of a remedy for the preva- lent disorder amongst stock, along with - a copy of the report made by the Wenlock Farmers' Club on the sub ject. Thanks were ordered to Mr. Davies for the,e communications, which were referred .to Prof. Sewell for the favour of his examination, and report to the Council in reference to the remedy propo sed. AUSTRALIAN BARLET.—Mr. Baker of Cottesmore, trans mitted his report on the Australian barley sent to him for trial, for which thanks were ordered on its being referred to the journal committee. LIIIRARY.—MI. Turret presented a copy of the lecture on manures, delivered by Mr. A. Gyde, before the North Staffordshire Agricultural Society; Mr. Chandos Wren lloskyns, a copy of the report of the Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law, on the Law of Landlord sod Tenant; Mr. Fisher II ebbs, a copy of Mr. Corbet's Price Busy on Tenant Right; Mr. Spence, Presi dent of the Entomological Society, a copy of his Anniver sary Address; Mr. Patterson, Vice-President of that Society, a copy of his paper on the study of Natural History as a branch of general education; Mr. George Ransome, a sta.ement of the advan tages or the Ipswich Museum of Natural History fur the working classes; Mr. Trench, a copy of a work by his relative, the lion. Charles Trench, containing designs of houses for labourers and farmers in Ireland, with crtimat:s and explanatory details ; Mr. Thom, a copy of his work on the statistics of Ireland ; and from Mr. Brabsson, a copy of his work on the Deep-Sea and Comm Ei, , heries of Ireland : for which donations the usual thanks of the council were ordered. _ _ COUNCIL MIIETINOB.—Mr. Miles , ,l.P., ltarMg informed the council of the great inconvenience with which those of their members who were in parliamedt were now enabled to att...nd their meetings, in consequence of a shame which had been made in the arranyement of the public business of the House of Commons, by which the country bills were brought under their consideration on the Wednesday, gave notice th►t, at the monthly council in May next, be should move an alteration in that part of the bye-laws of the society which prescribes the day and hour of the meetings of the council. Te council then adjourned to Wednesday next. ELECTION COMMITTEE.—Tuts DAY.

Torreos M'Cullagh to be duly elected. MR. HUME AND THE PEOPLE OF CAN TERBURY. The following address has been presented to Joseph Hume, Esq. ' M. l'., from the people of Canterbury : Sir—We hereby cordially subscribe our names as a feeble but genuine memorial of our sense of gratitude for the long career of patriotic exertion which has signalised yellr parlia mentary life ; and, in particular, for the gallant stand which you have recently made, and are now making, against the increase of expenditure, and consequently of taxation. We thank you for year stern opposition to the proposed exten sion of the income tax ; with you we claim, as the first instal ment of a timely retrenchment, the estimates of 1832. And we now begin to fret that your opposition will have its due weight ; that at lost you will be heard, and, as from hence, will receive your merited acknowledgement on all hands.— W. PeeNtelea, mayor. [Numerously soignee by members of the town-council, justices of the peace, an.] The following is Mr. Iltune's letter in answer to the ad dress of the people of Canterbury. Bryanston-squaxe, March 14, 1818.—Mr. Edward Gib son Swann.—Sir,—l yesterday received your letter of the 11th inst., and it is satisfactory to me to know that so large a portion of the inhabitants of Canterbury approve of the course that I here thought it my duty to take in parliament reepecting the budget. Being convinced that a taxation of upwards of 58 millions sterling, for the support of peace establishments in the 32nd year of peace, is too heavy a burden to be borne by the country at this time of com mercial distress, without entailing great privations on the people (especially on that numerous class having small and limited incomes, and on the still nu re numerous claws de pending on them for employment), I objected both to the large establishment of the current year, aid also to any in. crease for the ensuing year. l'or these reason I sub mitted a motion to plede•e the House of Commons, not only to prevent any increase of expenditure, but also to procure the reduction of the naval, military, and civil establishments, u far as possible consistently with the interests of the public. I regret testate that only 60 members supported that motion, and therefore no assurance of relief was obtained. A motion was then made by Mr. llorsman to pledge the house to render the in come tax less unequal and unjust in its operation ; but only 141 members voted for that motion, whilst 316, including the principal members of the late and present administration, opposed it. Agnin, last night, after a debate of three days, my motion " to limit the duration of the income tax to one year" was rejected by a majority of 363 to 138. As the House of Commons has rejected all those motions (although petitions from all parts of the empire have called for the re duction of expenditure and the revision of the whole system of taxation), I see no hope of speedy relief to this over-taxed nation, unless the electors shall choose representatives who will give more attention to the petitions and the wants of the people than the present house appears likely to do. The electors of Canterbury, and Kent generally, have no right to complain either of the amount or of the unequal pressure cf taxation, since they, by their representatives, have frustrated all these attempts to obtain the revision of taxation and the reduction of expenditure but the working dames, who are suffering from want of employment, have a right to complain, since they are generally without the elective franchise, and have, therefore, no share in the choice of members of parliament, wbo are constitutionally the pro tectors of the public interests. The annexed extract from the disision of the 13th inst. will explain what I have alluded to; and I must conclude by expressing the hope that we shall soon see more sympathy between the people and their representatives than has been shown in this last vote.—l remain, your obedient servant (signed), Joszra Huts, Whilst we call the attention of oar readers to the corre spendence between Canterbury and Mr. Hume respecting the income tax and expenditure of the country, it te scarcely possible to have selected a better opportunity of showing how completely the votes of the whole members tor the county and boroughs within the county of Kent, show the apathy regarding these vital subjects. We trust, as Mr. Hume soya, in concluding h , s letter, that a better sympathy may soon he established between the representatives and their constituents. We refer to the following stst• of the votes on the 13th March, of the num. ben for the 26 members for the county and the boroughs of Lancashire ; and we add also the state of the votes of the 18 members of parliament for the metropolitan cities and boroughs. We trust these three returns will afford matter for reflection and consideration by the electors and non electors of Kent, Lancashire, and the 14047—'44. !Mc or Tim kmsrtin Yollll3o.—Extracted from the List of Divi.

POPULAR DEMONSTRATION Since the foregoing was in type we have received accounts from Paris to post-hour last evening. Some battalions of the national guard mobile were armed this morning. On the manifestation of an intention yesterday, on the part of some volun teers of the national guard mobile, to disarm the 6th regiment of chasseurs a cheval, orders were given to that regiment and the 13th to leave Paris. They left the capital this morning. The second number of theßulktin de la Republique, published officially at the Ministry of the Interior, gives to-day an address, without comment, demanding, in the name of all citizens, the postponement of the elections. The various processions of workmen to which we hare already alluded. on arriving at the Champs Elysees amounted to above one hundred thousand. At noon an individual, who appeared as commander in•chief, ascended a lamp-post, and commanded them to defile before him. As the different bodies pawed, he exclaimed " Advance--advance quickly; and shout Vivo la Republique.'" The cry of " Vire la Repub lique" was the only one raised, save now and then that of "Vire Ledru-Rollin." _ It was remarked that, of all the members of the provisional government who appeared at tie windows of the Hotel de Ville, Ledru-Rollin alone appeared pleased. No deputation whatever was introduced; but some men, bearing a bast of Liberty, entered. Among the mass of the people was observed a numerous band of ecclesiastics, who exhibited much enthusiasm, the crowd, at the same tine, shouting Vive lee citoyens cures." After defiling before the Hotel de Ville, the mass, now augmented to about 180,000 persons, directed their march towards the Bastille, with the intention of proceeding along the Boulevards, in order to exhibit to the enemies of the republic the im mense number of its defenders. It is to be hoped that the leaders of this manifestation will have sufficient control over the popular masses to pre vent any disorder this evening. Bergeron, who was tried for an attempt against the life of his ex-Majesty, has been appointed Com. miasary-Cleneral in the departments of the Aisne and Somme. Letters from Lyons announce that the armed workmen evacuated on the morning of the 15th the fortified enceinte of la Croix Rousse, which was occupied by the National Guard and troops of the line. The Fort of Montessuy had been likewise evacuated by the people. Some apprehensions were at first entertained on Bourse, that the popular demonstration would not peas off without serious disturbances, and the stocks accordingly declined. But when it was ascertained that the people quietly retired, after a mere display of their force, confidence was restored, and the market recovered. PAW. NAIIICE 17.

Advices from Naples, dated March 9th, say that numerous petitions had been presented to the king, requesting him to preserve his ministers, though they had all sent in their resignation. It was also asserted that a frigate had left Naples for Palermo, having on board a deputation invested with full power t.) make whatever concessions might contribute to conciliate the public mind. Letters from Vienna, March 11th, say that, on the evening before, in a conference of the great Hunga rian dignitaries, presided over by the Aulic-Hangarian chancellor, it had been unanimously decided that, considering the new position assumed by the oppo sition in the Chamber of Deputies of Hungary, it would be proper to make a constitutional appeal to the electors; consequently, an early dissolution of that chamber was expected. On the eame day the Archduke Palatinate was to return to Presburg, and the chain bee of the magnate was to deliberate, on the morrow, upon the address of the Chamber of Deputies. The fate of Hungary depends on the resolution of the magnate, for the consequences of a dissolution iu such agitated times would be uncalculable, and there are reforms which cannot be deferred, . . The Okerlander Bote (a German journal) contains the following important communication : " Hungary has declared itself independent of Austria, and has proclaimed a republic."

WHEAT.—The Chairmen called the attention of the Council to a variety of bearded Wheat, which, for the last three or four year., had been cultivated in York shire, and found exceedingly well adapted to the moor land districts of that county. Although sown so late as the 28th of April, the resulting crop was found to he quite equal, both in amount and quality, to those of the ordinary creeping Wheat sown in November. This Wheat was one of the red varieties, and originally ob obtained from Wiltshire. An extensive trial was in pro gress this seasm throughout Yorkshire on its cultiva• tion, the result of which he would communicate to the Council. The Wheat in question was not thick-skinned, and it yielded a flour for which the millers gave the same price as for that obtained from the autumn-sown varieties. It was well adapted for their light burning soils, as furnishing a convenient substitute for barley. —An interesting discussion then enelierl, in which Mr. Fisher Hobbs and Mr. Tweed favoured the Council with the result of their practical experience on the comparative values of different varieties of Wheat for the miller.— The chairman also took that opportunity of calling the attention of the 'immix!' to some valuable deductions drawn by Mr. Thompson from a series of experiments made on the Hackneys estate, for the purpose primarily of testing the value of Liebig's patent manure for the Wheat crop in comparison with guano and farm-yard manure. The statement of these experiments, and Mr. Thompson's appendix to it, would be found in the part of the !Transactions of the Yorkshire Society (No. 10, page 72), just published, and a copy of which was then lying on the table. The points to which these deduc tions had reference, were:-1. The effects of Liebig's manure; 2. The time for using guano; and 3. The comparative value of ammoniacal and mineral manures : and the results were, the failure of Liebig's manure for the Wheat crop under circumstances where nitrogenous matter was accidentally absent; the decided advantage of using guano on heavy nods in the autumn at the time of preparation for sowing (when the wheat is not sown earlier than November) ; and the strong corroboration ' afforded to the eiews of Mr. Lawe, in the last part of the " Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England."—" That nitrogenous manures (to use Mr. Thompson's ewn words) are of the first importance, as far as the wheat crop is concerned; and that, if these are deficient, miaeral manures cannot, by any means supply their place." Mr. Thompson considers that in the case of lighter soils, the time for employing the guano would be more dependent on the discretion of the cultivator, but that its early use in the spring, under such clysumstancts of soil, would be attended with greet I vantage. Porarogs. Mr. Miles, M.P., favoured the council with a supply of seeds of the potato phint, selected from the mountains of Chili, and imported direct to this country, and in fine condition, from that region of the 1 southern hemisphere, by Mr. Bright, of the firm of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., merchants. At the suggestion of Mr. Miles, these seeds were distributed among the members then present, with a request that . they would furnish the council on a future occasion with the result of their respec• tive trials. _ _ ITALIAN RTE Gases. Mr. Rodwell, of Alderton ball, transmitted to the council specimens of the pale and brown varieties of Italian rye-prise grown with barley on his estate in Suffolk. They were sown in April, ISSI, and gathered on the 29th February. 1848. Mr. Rodwell remarked that on comparing with each other the specimens then submitted tc the council, it would again be found that the superior growth of the brown variety (ally bare out the opinion formerly given of its value in the Journal of the So ciety, vet. v., p. 28t.

COMMERCIAL er MARKETS. MONET MARKET i CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half-pasl One o'Cloek.—Some alarm was created in the city by the intelligence, in a se" -end edition of the Daily Aries, that Austria ",,ad " renounced " all diplomatic intercon - c 'with Frlnee, without, ~ how ever? o mu'nog war. But confidence became reassured in the stock market subsequently by the more correct interpretation of the news, as not threatening, certainly, any immediate hostile eel lision between the two states. From various parts of the continent, our advicca are still of the most dis quieting kind, both politically and financially. The resignation en mane of the Dutch ministry is looked upon as the forerunner of troubles in Holland, although the event has been hailed there with the greatest enthusiasm, and stocks absolutely rose upon it. I'he suspension of the Bank of France is viewed with a sort of stupor in moncved and capitalist circles. No one can foresee what may be the result It is not doubted, however, that there will be a demand upon this country for specie and bullion, which here after may become inconvenient. The credit of bask paper circulation, which it has been so difficult to esta blish in France, since tl.c time of the assigtats, will now be destroyed for years to come, and a complete bouleeersemenl of the industrial and commercial sys tem of that country, and in its relations with other countries, must be the consequence.
