member for Lynn to the scheme for placing the great trunk railways of Ireland under government superintendence. (Heer, hear.) He thought much still remained to be done (or that country. (Hear.) And he would be always ready to promote those measures which he considered had been left imperfect and incomplete. (Hear.) He was ready to temsider the question of landlord end tenant, the sale of iocumbered estates, and any practical amendment of the poor law that could be suggested. He knew that his 'obi' friend at the head of the government would before that debate closed state the views be entertained respecting the Mum course of policy towards Ireland, and of the many questions which pressed with so much weight and care on his attentions there woe none which he was so unwilling to postpone as those which related to Ireland. (Hear.) But he ag reed with the views which had been expressed in an article in the Journal des Wats, that it was not repeal or revolu tion that Ireland wanted, but regeneration. (Hear, hear.) The people of teat country possessed many attractive and brilliant q ualities; and he would again repeat what had pro cured censure for him before in Yorkshire, that he believed there was to be found a greater absence of theft amongst the males, and more chastity among the females, el Ireland than is this country. (Hear, hear.) These was gr at kindness amongst them one towards the other. But while he paid what was but a just tribute to their many virtues, be could not shut his eyes to their failings ; and they wanted the patient and persevering in dustry of the Saxons. (Hear, hear.) He had heard it mid in America that an Irishman, when placed between a Scotchman and a Yankee, was the perfection of a settler, because on the one side he learned trout the sobriety and industry of the Seotchman, and on the other he was in. cited to activity by the go-a-headedness of the Yankee. (Laughter.) He believed that much the same thing would take place by a cordial union between the three countries. (Hear, hear.) He need not remind the house that in every field where glory and credit were obtained for this country, Irishmen contributed a more than proportionate contribution. He need but mention the names of Burke, Sheridan, Grat tan, Plunket, and O'Connell—the laurel of Wellington and the lyre of Moore. (11,u, hear.) But the hon. member for Limerick told them that if they embarked in a contest with Ireland, and denied the repeal of the union, she would be successful. Amidst the shock of states which wan going on around them far be it from him to calculate to which side s uciess would incline. The arbitration rested with him who sat in the circle of the heavens. But though the line of success might not be clearly marked, that of duty generally was. (Cheers-) But when those men in Ireland who were desirous or main. tailing British connexion, and who asked this country.for its countenance, guidance, and protection—when he felt persuaded that their cause was the cause of truth and right, and the c.tu,e which he believed to be essential not only to the permanent greatness of England, but to the real happi• rims of Debut I—he felt that it was one which they could not and would not abandon. (Cheers.) Kr. REYNOLDS moved the adjournment of the debate till Thursday, which was agreed to. - - SITES DO FORMFROM CHURARREST OF MEMBERCHES IN SCOTLANDS— FREE- HORSHAM ELECTION.

LONDONWEDNESDAY,APRILI2 I IT is invariably the lot of foolish or knavish brag garts, who are, or profess to be, on the popular side, to afford pretexts for encroachments on civil liberty. The speeches in which some members of the convention, in John-street, Fitzroy-square, indulged, on their first coming together, warranted, not fear of their power to effect, but suspicion of their intention to attempt, a revolutionary movement. The con servatives in parliament and the press contrived out of these materials to work up a panic, to which some of our old-world aristocracy, still haunted by dreams of the first French revolutionary era, were well predisposed. The events of Monday have shown to reasonable men how groundless and exaggerated were the fears entertained of any imme diate dangerous outbreak. But unfortunately the very circumstance which has restored equanimity to the right-thinking, has encouraged the old tory school to resume its visionary hopes of suppressing the real, and in too many cases legitimate, discontent which rankles throughout the land, by coercive policy and coercive laws. Three eminent organs of conservatism —the Duke of WELLINUTON, Lord BROCGEIAM, and the Vines—are striving, as for a wager, to outdo each other in demonstrations of zeal for " the good old cause" of tory principles. There is something ludicrous enough to those whose memories can carry them back some E ighteen years, in the entire accordance of the Commander-in-Chief and the ex-Chancellor as to the law regarding public meetings. On the Bth of December, 1830, the united trades of London marched in procession to St. James's Palace to present an address to the King expressive of the very severe disappointment experienced from the putting ott of his Majesty's visit to the Lord Mayor, and their loyalty to the King and constitution. That same day, in the House of Lords, the Duke of WELLINGTON asked Lord MELIIOI RICE what steps had been taken with regard to the procession. Lord MELBOURNE replied that having consulted the magistrates and heads of the police departments—and having learned it to be their opinion that the pro cession had better be allowed to proceed, he bad refrained from any attempt to atop it. Ilia lortl- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1848. bruited revolution has turned out nothing more than a comedy, a dash of tragic is to be thrown into it by a second edition of the Six Acts—for we are evi dently menaced with no less. Let government and the Times proceed in this manner, and they will soon convert the majority of Englishmen, not into chartists , but into something far worse. THE mission of German statesmen, in the present crisis, is full of grave difficulties. There is at this moment actually no paramount authority either in Germany, or auy of the states composing it, upon which men can rely with confidence. The fate of Germany is set upon the cast of a die. Almost every thing depends upon the good sense and patriotism of the members elected by Prussia and Austria to repre sent them in the German parliament convoked in Frankfort for the first of May. If that assembly have anything of the Walintryisnacht in its composition, the condition of Germany is perilous. The difficulties are partly political, partly economical. The latter are, perhaps, after all, the more difficult to deal with. In the existing suspension, or paralysis of legal authority, payment of taxes is all but univer sally refused. There is not an exchequer in Germany that is nut impoverished in consequence. Credit is destroyed; specie has disappeared ; the public funds, mortgages, bills of exchange—all are at nominal values. About a week ago, the branch of the house of Itorusciittp established in Frankfort is under stood to have refused to discount a bill drawn by M. BELMONT, its own agent at New York, on the house at Paris, payable in May; to have refused to ad vance 10,000 franca on the security of this bill for 75,000 francs, although 10 to 15 per cent. was offered for the accommodation. The failure of the old and respected house of SCILkAFILAUS, at Cologne— whose assets exceed their liabilities by some Millions of francs—has compelled the manufacturers of Rhenish Prussia, who had credits with the firm, to throw out of employment many thousands ot labourers. At Berlin, N. ienna, Leipsic, Frankfort, Mayence, Mannheim, and Stuttgardt, manufacturers have been obliged to dismiss their hands for want of work. Interest on mortgages is being paid in no part of Germany. Amid the anarchy which such a state of affairs is calculated to induce, the only shadow of a common central authority, the improvised preparatory as sembly in Frankfurt, has been threatened with sup pression from external violence and dissolution from internal disc In that assembly Prussia was only represented by delegates from the Rhine province, and Austria not at all. Bavaria was only represented by a few votes, while much smaller states—Baden in particular—had numerous representatives. Northern Germany and Austria are the strongholds of the monarchical party, and this inequality of representation encouraged the republicans of south western Germany—who as the youngest are in general the most daring and active members—to make a bold effort to compel the assembly to fellow their lead. The first attempt to coerce the assembly was made by the republicans who arc not members. Crowds of the adherents of this party repaired by railway from Mayence, Mannheim, and Heidelberg, to Frankfort. The young men of Frankfort who are members of the gymnastic clubs ( Turner- f'erein) coalesced with them. In spite of the exhortations of the venerable AIINOT, who, as founder of these institutions in 1813, has hitherto been the god of their idolatry, the combined republican force proceeded en mane towards the church of St. Paul, where the assembly was sitting, carrying a flag, inscribed, "The German Republic." On their way they encountered a body of citizens, carrying a flag with the inscription, " No Republic." The republicans assailed the citizens. The republican leader, Mt:melts for (who must not be confounded with the Austrian ex-chancellor), attempted to pull down the anti-republican flag, but was himself knocked down with the pole frem which it floated. His followers were obliged to give way beneath the heavy hands of the sturdy citizens. They soon rallied, however, and believing, or pretending to believe, that their leader had fallen, threw themselves upon the soldiers on guard at the assembly. The fray was arrested by the arrival of the martyr himself, who was received with acclamations by his friends and laughter by their opponents. The dissension within the assembly was more se rious. Messrs. STRUVE and likcana (of Mannheim) the republican leaders, after having been outvoted on two occasions, left the meeting, followed by 80 of the dele;rates. This looked like a formal declaration of war, and combined with the demonstration of the re publicans out of doors, who acknowledged the two delegates we have named as their leaders, occasioned no small anxiety to the remanent majority. At this critical moment the submission of the old Diet came most opportunely to strengthen the hands of this, the mo narchical party. M. COLLOREDO, the Austrian pleni potentiary and president of the diet, caused intima tion to be made to M. MITTF.R3I.IIER, the president of the assembly, that the diet had resolved to revoke all the re-actionary and exceptional decrees it has adopted and promulgated for the last thirty years (and their name is Legion) against the press, the universities, meetings ot the people, representative assemblies, &c., &c. His excellency added that all the members of the diet who had participated in these measures had given in their resignations, struck by the censure of the assembly sitting in the church of St. Paul. It was assuredly a remarkable moment when that diet, which had for thirty years braved the public opinion of Germany, which but a few months ago congratulated Austria on the suppression of Cracow, and menaced the jade- I pendence of Switzerland—submitted without resis tance to resolutions passed by an assembly of men of no recognised rank, assuming upon their own sole respon sibility to act for Germany,and numbering among their members no representatives of the most important communities of the nation. This act of deference to the assembly brought the hot-headed republicans to their senses, and next morning the eighty-two seced ing delegates resumed their seats. The course subsequently adopted by the assembly wasjudicious. Without exasperating the moribund Diet by any incivility, they took care to vindicate their own independence by non-adoption of any points in which the suggestions of the Diet were at variance with their own predetermined course of action. They even carried their non-compliance so far as to resolve upon a member in the constituent assem bly for every 30,000 inhabitants, instead of every 70,000 as proposed by the Diet; and they declared the day of meeting—the Ist of May—peremptorily and irrevocably fixed. They have taken care that no time shall be lost in assembling a real representation of all Germany ; and that this representation shall be iu every respect independent of, and unfettered by, the antecedents of the absolutist diet. The representatives of Prussia are likely to bring an accession of freedom and experience to the aaaembly. They have been elected by the Prussian states-general, and consist, for the most part, of libe ral members, with an addition of an equal number of influential liberals from the different provinces who are not members. No data exist whereupon conjec tures can be formed as to the character and temper of the Austrian delegates. Bat it will require an utter abnegation of provincial jealousies and selfish rivalry on the part of these two most important sections of the monarchical party to prevent a schism. If they unite Lonestly and firmly with the monarchists of the other states, the republicans will see that they are a decided minority, and will remain an intelligent, high-minded, active, and useful constitutional opposi tion. If a Prussian and an Austrian faction fritter away the strength of the monarchical party by their intrigues, there is every likelihood of our seeing Baden, Wurtemberg, and Rhenish Prussia seceding, and foaming a republican confederation of the Rhine. And so, adieu to the fair prospect of the resuscitation of a united Germany! HOLLAND.—The iIAGITE, APRIL 9.—Yesterday Prince Metternich received a visit from the English ambas sador and Van Dorn, the minister of State. It is thought that the Prince will remain longer at the Hague than was at fret intended. DENNIARK AND THE DUCHIES.—The elec tric Telegraph Company's express brings the following The Lion steamer, which left Hamburg on Sunday, arrived yesterday at Hull. Among her passengers was an envoy from the Danish government, who proceeded immediately to London. A skirmish took place on the 6th, between an advanced guard of the troops of the duchies and the Diutish troops. The Danes were compelled to fall beck upon Gra. yensteen. One officer and several privates of the Danish force were killed. On the other side there were none killed, and but one wounded. BANK OP ENGLAND.—Yesterday the proprietors met to ballot for a governor and ant for the ple b :suing, when James Morris, klsq., lieury James tt b ßuk, were te-electsd. NEWS FROM PARIS. PARIS, TUESDAY, 10i A.X. I have no French news of any importance to com municate, except the circumstances which I have referred to under the head of the Bouree. The Boulogne Railway from Neufchatel to Bou logne is announced to be opened on Monday next. This circumstance will confer upon my communica . tions with you much greater certainty and expedition. PARIS BOURSE, MONDAY.—We have to-day had a considerable rise on most securities, and there have been numerous purchases in the funds and some rail ways. This rise was almost entirely attributed to the new financial plan, of which we spoke on Satur day, and which was more generally known at the Bourse to-day. This plan must necessarily be advan tageous to the funds. Indeed, if the plan for some time spoken of, of re-purchasing the railways by a creation of 5 per cent, stock were acted on, the amount of the debt would have been materially increased, and some of the shareholders, in selling their stock, would have added to the difficulties of the market ; but if, on the contrary, these shareholders are paid in bank notes, their would be immediately more than • million of capital to invest, whilst the amount of ne gotiable stock would be much reduced. The persons who at this moment have bank notes laid by, who do not approve the proposed plan, and' particularly the idea of substituting a national bask for a private bank, have contributed to the rise. Fear ing so great an issue of paper they have preferred laying out their bank notes in stock. It is probable that the rise would have been still greater if some of the buyers had not speculated on a temporary fall, so as to allow them to buy at better rates, and so hold back. The perfect tranquillity which prevails in Paris has also contributed to induce many purchases. The shares of the Bank of France have again fallen, ' but it is expected that, should the government appro priate them, they will be taken at 1,200, which is con sidered par. Orleans had not recovered much, and the price of to-day is hardly 10f. better than Saturday. Other lines are firm, particularly Lyons and North. It is said that the decrees of expropriation will be first directed t these lines. Belgian stock was much in request, on which the half-yearly dividend becomes due next month. The loan of 1810 advanced 3; on the last quotation. The price of gold has fallen 10f. on Saturday's prices, and was to-day 75f. Silver about the same. English Bank notes are worth only 23E, while English sovereigns are worth 26.30. This difference arises from the apprehension of the chartist demonstra tion at London. LATEST, P.S., 101 A.M. By advicco from Vienna we learn that it had been resolved to attempt pacific negotiations with the Lom bardo-Venetian territory, and with this view com missaries of the government, furnished with full powers, had set out for Milan, for the head quarters of General Badetzky. This had produced a good effect at Vienna. By the same channel a letter from Boeuia says, that there was there a general insurrection of the Christians. P.S.—I have just received a letter from Milan, dated the sth inst., which says that the Austrians capitulated at Magnavacca abandoned their arms and baggage. At Forli there was much movement. 2,000 Swiss, with half a battery of artillery, had passed there. Eight thousand national guards had formed a cordon through Illy ria. The volunteers of Padua had marched for Verona. The communications between Vicenza and Verona were interrupted, by the bridge at Montello being de stroyed, and barricades erected along the roads. Letters from Florence, of the 4th, say that Pon tremoli has demanded to be annexed to Tuscany. Letters from Turin, of the 7th, say that there is no direct news from the army, but news of a great battle was momentarily expected. SPAIN.—The Madrid mails of the sth, with the letters of our correspondent, have arrived. The Duke and Duchess of Moutpensicr were ex pected at Madrid on the 7th. They were to pass the night of the 4th at Burgos, and that of the sth at Aranda. The Herablo, in a semi-official form, gives a pro mi..e on the part of the government to attend to the settlement of the foreign debt, and not to allow the dividends any longer to accumulate. Barcelona was quiet on the Ist. Yasuo, Aram s.—Three per Cents, 224; Five per Cents., 134 paper; Nast wen, 44 paper ; iampons, 94 paper.

LOMBARDY.—The Milan Gazette of the 4th, with a supplement published apparently late on that day, which I have received since the date of my last, enables me to supply some further particulars respect ing the theatre of the insurrection, or the Holy War, as it is called. A report which appears in the journals of Marseilles of a general engagement having taken place between the Sardinian army, ineder Charles Albert, and the Aus trians, under Radetzky, is entitled to no credit. In fact, from the relative position of the two armies on the 4th, no engagement, except unimportant skir mishes between the advanced posts, was possible. The Sardinian army, under the King, was se the 4th on the right bank of the Oglio, which runs in a direct line from Bergamo to the neighbourh of Mantua, while the Austrian forces were in pos session on the line of the Mincio, which runs from Peschiera and the southern extremity of the Lego di Garda to Mantua. A tract of country of some extent, lying between these two rivers, still se parated the two armies on the morning of the 4th, and as the date of the latest advices is the afternoon of that day, it is demonstrable that no general engage ment could have taken place. The Lombard, Swiss, and other volunteers, were collected in force in advance of Breschia, and it is therefore probable that partial conflicts may have taken place in the neighbourhood of Larato and Montechiaro, between Breschia and Peachiera. Lieut.-Marshal D'Aspre had marched from Padua, and arrived at Montebello on the 23th. These troops I must, therefore, have entered Verona on the 26th. D'Aspre has suspended Gherard, in the command at Verona. He assumed the command on the 28th, when he is reported to have harangued the troops, endeavour ing to provoke their activity by promising to give up Milan to them for plunder. No movement, however, of these troops from Verona had taken place up to the date of the last advices. The hostages who had been carried by the Austrians from Milan were brought to Verona irk carriages on the 29th, where they were confined in the torts of San Felice and Castel Vecchio. Among these was the Avocet Gianni, of Mantua. He was committed to San Felice. The centre and probably the head-quarters of the Austrian army was at Goito on the 4th, a small town on the western bank of the Mincio, situate about half way between Peschiera and Mautua. Despatches were received at Milan from General Allemandi, announcin that on the evening of the 3rd a body of volunteers had occupied the town of Salo, on the western bank of the Lego di Garda, and had seized the steamer plying on that lake. Thus all communications by the lake between the Austrians and the Tyrol were cat off. An infamous plot to destroy the city of Breschia had been discovered and frustrated. Radetzky bad ma naged through secret agents to corrupt the keeper of the fort in which the Austrian prisoners were con fined, and it was arranged that he should supply them with arms, that they should set fire to the fort, and issuing suddenly from it, burn and devastate the town. On the discovery of this treason the keeper of the fort was brought to a court-martial and condemned to be shot. His execution, however, was suspended, in the expectation of obtaining from him important revelations. In the Venetian territory the fortress of Porto Leg nano, or the Adige, and situated on the road between Venice and Mantua, had fallen into the hands of the people. This result is said to have been the effect of a surprise. The governor, surrounded by a formi dable popular demonstration, and cut off by all com munication with the Austrian generals, surrendered. Succours, consisting of the troops of Roman and Tuscan volunteers, ander the command of Gen. Durando had crossed the Po at Ferrara and occupied Rovigo, from whence they would probably advance by Porto Legnano and Mantua upon the rear of the Austrians. The Provisional Government established in the Friuli had published a decree providing for the con tingency of the arrival of Austrian troops in that ter- ritory. The oommiasaries of the district and the priests were in such cases directed to raise a levy en masse, in fact to call out the whole population. Since writing the above I have seen letters from Breschia to the sth. Charles Albert had crossed the Oglio and bad advanced by Leno upon Montechiaro. It appeared to be the intention of the Austrians to wait for a battle in the plain of Castiglioni, rendered so celebrated in Buonaparte's Italian campaigns. On the night of the sth Allemandi detached a co lumn of 4,000 men by the road along the western bank of the lake to the Tyrol, to aid the insurgents in that province, and cut off the retreat of the Austrians. GERMANY. PRUSSIA.—We have our usual files of German papers. Those from Berlin are of the 9th, but they contain little news. The official journal of that date contains the law of elections as amended in the diet, and the regulations for the carrying out of that law. The Duke of Schleswig Holstein Augustenburg had arrived at Berlin from Hamburg. The finance minis ter, Hansemano, has provided a fund of 100,000 thaler for the assistance of the merchants and manu facturers of Cologne. By a letter from Posen of April 7, we learn that Major-General Willisen, the royal commissioner of Posen, has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants, stating that he is empowered to commence the imme diate re-organisation of the province, as promised by the king ; that their desire for a national government and national judicial proceedings in their own lan guage was accorded ; that a man of Polish origin is to be placed at the head of the Polish administration; that liberty of electing their civil office, s shall be re- I stored to them; that their desire for a national arma ment is already answered by the Landwehr; and that minor points could be easily arranged at a sub sequent period. These privileges shall be accorded under the proviso that,—first of all, order and legality are restored, and that no autho rity can exist in the government than what is given or sanctioned by the government. That every irregularity or voluntary arming of troops shall be immediately dissolved, as there is no danger from without. Everything of this kind is a useless expenditure of strength and money ; that it any ' wished to enter the military service they had merely to give in their names to the commander of the Landwehr. That the noblest of the Poles had offered to give their co-operation for the re-establish ment of order; that, accompanied by theirs, he would speedily convince himself whether the work of re-organisation could be speedily commenced. He exhorts them to return to the ways of peace, and pledges his word that, in the event of their doing so, they shall receive complete amnesty from his Ma jesty. He likewise ensures to the German inhabitants the free use of their own language by national courts of justice, and expects them to put confidence in their Polish brethren who have exerted themselves not to injure them. AUSTRIA.—We have news from Vienna to the 6th. The Emperor is to go to Presburg on the 9th to dissolve the Diet of Hungary, and to I ve his royal sanction to the resolutions laid before it, amongst which is the decree authorising the assembling of the diet at Pestb, every year. The late military governor of Venice, Field-Marshal Lieu tenant Count Zychy, arrived at Vienna on the 6th. He is to be tried by court martial. The minister, Count Ilartiq, it appears, only waits for instructions to bring proposals of peace to Lombardy. The announcement of the departure of Count Mon tecuculi was premature. A proclamation to the army in Upper Italy was published on the 6th by Count Figuelmont, the provisional minister of war, in which he states that the public have been waiting with impatience and suspense for news from the Italian army, but that on that day only have the ministry been able for the first time to afford intelligence respecting that army, of whose movements it was as ignorant as the public. All direct communications were cut off for nine days, the insurrection having prevented the passing of couriers. The position of the Austrian forces is there stated as we published it yesterday. In regard to the excesses committed in Rome, an official article in the Wiener Zeituv says that the Pope, who accidentally met Count Lutzow outside the gates of Rome, assured h'm, in the strongest lat.- guage, of the extreme regret and sorrow at the ex cesses which had been committed on the previous day, and reiterated the assurances of his ministers that he was ready to make every possible reparation. That, in consequence of this explanation given by the Pope himself, the imperial ambassador at Rome had been commanded to resume his functions, on condition that the Austrian arms be replaced on the palace of the mbessy, and that the Papal government guarantee the per; ,nal security of the ambassador, without which no diplomatic relations can exist. Should these stipulations not be complied with, Count Lutzow will immediately quit the states of the church. FRANKFORT.—On the tith the committee of fifty determined to add to their number six Austrian deputies. Vice-President Abegg observed that there existed some differences in the matter of elections for the first parliament between the decree of the Ger- manic Diet ordering the elections and the decree of the preparatory assembly. The question having been discussed, it was decided to take the necessary steps with the Diet to produce the neceseary . changes.

Yesterday, a court was held for the despatch of public business. THE PRESERVATION OF THE PEACE OF THE CITY. — The Loon Mayon, upon taking the chair, said, he was happy to have so early an opportunity, after the occurrences of Moaday, of seeing his brother aldermen, and congratu lating them and his fellow-citizens upon the dvmunstratl . n which had been made on the occasion in the City of London —a demonstration calculated to produce the most salutary effects upon the country. (Cheers.) He considered that the question was of so momentous a character as to require from him a specific report, which he accordingly laid before the court, and which the town-clerk read. Alderman T/lOMPSON then proposed the following reso lutions I. That the thanks of the court be presented to the Right Ron. John Kinnereley Limper, Eft., for the admirable and effnt sir. rangements made by him for the preaftsution of the peace of this ity on Monday last, and for the firmness and decision displayed by his lordship on that important occasion. 2. That the thanks of this court be prevented to the Hon. Henry Fitzroy, lieutenant-colonel, the odicera, non-commimioned officers, and privates of the lion. the Artillery Company, br the readiness with which they attended and remained under arms on Monday last. 3. That the thanks of this court be presented to Daniel "Whittle Harvey, Esq., commissioner of the City police, for the judicious ar rangements in the disposition and management of the police Sone of this City for the preservation of the peace on Monday teat. The 4th resolution recognised the deep sense the court entertained of the eflicient manner in which the superintendent, inspectors, and other otticers and constables of the police force discharged their duties on Monday last. The 3th resolution declared the acknowledgments of the court to the deputies and common council of the several wards for their co operation. 6. The grateful acknowledgment' by the court to the merchanin, bankers, traders, and all other dames of their fellow-citthana, for the alacrity and seal with which they suppor ted eelves as the efforts of the miss to keep the peace by ft-rolling them special Co and performing the ordinary duties of the police at a time when the services of the regular police were necessarily concentrate 7. That this court most heartily congratulate their fellow-cinemas es the unanimity displayed by men of all ranks and stations in grassiest ing the supremacy of the law on Monday last, thereby proclaiming to the world that whatever differences may mist, Englishmen are united in the determination, under the blessing of divine providense, to uphold the throne and the constitution of the country, and totransmit to posterity the enjoymer t of privileges and blessings superior to those which are t• be found in any other kingdom of the earth. • All these resolutions were carried unanimously, and it was P: r red that they eh:ould b printed, and extensively pls. • cid ahem the Aldermen CHALLIS objected to the proposition to placard derogatory to the dignity of the court, sad considered that • vote of thanks would, if exhibited in so unusual and 'taste a manner. loess its value in the estimation of the public. Alderman THOMPSON said he could not exactly ace the matter in that light. Proclamations sad other notices and statements of importance were placarded, and did not lose their force or dignity by such a mode of publication. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. CARROLL did not see what occasion there could be for placarding the thanks of the court. All people read news papers now, and must see in them the advertisements cons municatieg the fact. Alderman FAREHROTHER slid it was true that the daily press advocated the cause of the community, but there were papers the editors of which did not care shout the quality of what they inserted, so that they were paid by the sale. If the chartists chose to misrepresent in thole• publications, and to stick them against the wall, it was necessary to meet them by the exhibition of an announcement diametrically opposed to them. (Hear, bear.) It was the revolting character of the excitement which had been got up that tended to ruin the poor isilustrious man with his large family. To contend against such a principle was the duty of every friend of his country ' • and if the mischievous leaders of the movement thought fit to publish by placards awl handbills, there would be nu degradaion in contending with them with their own weapons, and showing the misguided how easily they might return to the performance of their duties of industry and loyalty. (Hear, hear.) The motion for advertising and placat ding was then car ried, as was a motion for printing the report made by the Lord Mayor, and sending copies to the members of tke court. RESIGNATION OF THE GOWN OF BREAD-STREET WARD.— The Lotto MAYOR read a letter from Alderman H. Hughes, resigning the gown of Bread-street ward.—The resignation au, atter a high eulogism upon Mr. H. Hughes, in which all the members joined,accepted, and • copy of the resolution of the court, expressive of their great respect for his cha racter, was ordered to be forthwith - . transmitted to him.— Adjourned. THE CHARTIST CONVENTION. Yesterday morning the convention again met at nine o'clock, pursuant to adjournment, at their hall, John street, Fifgroy square. Mr. M'GUATH filled the chair. Mr. E. JONES moved that a committee be appointed to draw up a report of the proceedings on the previous dey, at Kennington-common, with a view to present to the public • correct and faithful statement. This he proposed should not only be placarded over the metropolis, but be tent to every disuict throughout the country. Such a statement would show that the convention had not to en actuated by any feelings of fear, as had been attributed to tin in, or by any the most distant intention of yielding to the armed ex ertions of the Whig government; and it amid, being the truth, have the effect of neutralising the malignant lies which, through the columns of the daily press, had that day been promulgated to the world. Mr. Ashton, Mr. Adams, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Fussell, Mr. Kydd, and Mr. Tanner, supported the motion, which was opposed by Mr. CEITAY, on the ground of the unnecessary expense which would be incurred to carry it out. There had been enough of pu dications, enough of humbug, enough of peti tions, sod enough of processions; and the time was come when they ought to have more of action. If yesterday they bad shown more " pluck," he believed that they would have made more friends. Mr. CIIILID disagreed with the last speaker, and denied that cowardice had (as was imputed) been the moving cause of the termination of the proceedings on Kennington common. A considerable discussion followed, but eventually the motion was carried, the vast majority of the delegates de claring in favour of the prudential proceedings of the pre vious day, Mr. Ernest Jones and two other delegates were appointed a committee to prepare the address, and withdrew for that purpose. _ IMPEACHMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. CLARE moved that this eoncention forthwith appoint a committee of three of its members to prepare a petition to parliament prying for the impeachment of her Majesty's ministers for their flagrant violation of the ionstitution in employing an unconstitutional armed force to aid them in preventing the people fromproceeding orderly and peaceably through the streets of the metropolis with their petition, and by the disposition and array of their brute force provoking a collision between the people and the military, and thereby risking the probability of plunging the nation into civil war. In supporting his motion, Mr. Clark obcerved that if the procession had proceeded as had been originally intended, the blood of the people would have hi en shed by those who battened and fattened upon the people's hard earnings ; and it was clear that the foul and infamous government that now ruled the realm intended yesterday, on the slightest pretext, to have shed the blood of an unoffending people. (Hear, hear.) It was stated by a base and calumnious press that the convention had acted a cowardly part, because they had nut given the government an op portunity of mowing them down, and this calumny was set forth in a leading article of t he Morning Chronicle of that day, its a spirit which neither reflected credit upon its author nor on the noble lord who eras said to be the pro prietor of that journal. The article stated an untruth when it alleged that the convention proposed to proceed armed through the streets of the metropolis. On the contrary, the fact had been that 52 unarmed delegates hail put themselves at the heat: of an unarmed people. (Applause ) The course they had taken had disappointed the government, because it had deprived them of their anticipated pleasure of shedding the people's blood. For their conduct he held that the go vernment deserved impeachment, and it was the duty of the convention to call for it. (Cheers.) With these views he submitted his motion. Mr. W. DIXON seconded the motion, and remarked he would never be a party to lead an unarmed people into a collision with an armed military or police force. Mr. Joves (Liverpool) expressed the satisfaction he felt at the manner in which the mandates of the executive com mittee had been obeyed yesterday by the immense masses of the people which were congregated together. Mr. HARVEY supported the motion, and in most violent and vituperative language attacked the press of this country, and especially the Morning Chronicle. He could not but express the deep di-gust he entertained for his brethren of the press—" The race who write, and who were," as Cobbett said, "the deadly foes of liberty " That which in other nations a censorship of the press effected was done in this csuntry by gold, for every one of the dastardly anony mow scribblers was paid for writing the chartists down by liea and calumnies. (Loud cheers, and expressions of exe cration of the preu.) The proclamation of the government had been founded upon an old obsolete statute of the very monarch who had sent the ancestor of the present premier to the scaffold. Mr. LtiND said that though he agreed in the sentiments expressed by those who had preceded him, yet as he thought the adoption of the motion could lead to no practical result, he felt it his duty to move, as an amendment, the previous question. Mr. CUFFAY seconded the amendment. It was a farce now to expert to get the charter incept by force. Instead of a motion for the impeachment of ministers, to be moved by Mr. F. O'Connor, and probably seconued by Mr. Chisholm Anatey—(a laugh)—they shoul.l rule the people to he pre pared to defend themselves for the struggle between English democrats and Norman aristocrats. (Cheers.) Mr. KYI,I) supported the original motion, and in doing so gave utterance to a violent tirade upon the press and the government of this country. He contended that that which had been held to be good en France ought to be held good in England, and the manifesto proposed by this resolution would assert that pramiple. Revolution was simply another name for rectification, and in England netiti.ation was loudly demanded. Re cordially supported the motion for the jib perelonc at of the present uni.onstitutional A long discussion, of a very warm and violent character ensued, in the course of which the origins] motion was sup ported by :Hr. Baldwin, Mr. Wild, Mr. Demovan, and Mr. Wilkinson. The debate, however, was interrupted by the return of the committee appcinted to prepare a report of the proceedings in reference to the Kennington-common demon stration on the preceding day. Mr. E. JONES reported to the convention the following draft of the address : THE NATIONAL CONVENTION TO THE PEOPLE. . . Fellow-countrymen,.—The legal and coestitutional rights of Eag. lishmen have been nterfered with. The pansy of Going and Dueltatel is trans'erred to England. We announced A peaceful and unarmed demonstration, and we adopted every measure who h pru dence toted saggeet to convince the government of our medic inten tions, and to inspire the metropolis with confidence in our proceed ings. But how were those proceedings met! By the revival of an act pawed in the time of a libidinous tyrant, Charles 11., an ant 2vo rears old—long deemed obsolete and indo d virtually re, Baled by the Bill of Rights. Vaittly did we remonstrate. The government per 4ieted M its arbitrary, despotic, and unentistitutional course. Eng land then has to mourn the epeetacle of an unarmed and peaceful people awembled to exercise the right of carrying a petition to par liament being stopped by the command of on execrable ministry. Yee, fellow-countrymen, ouch is the fact. On Monday we repaired from the Convention I lall to Kennington Common, where a quarter of a million votaries of freedom were metnibled. An inhale. WM wee then cenreyed to an that no pruccoion mold be allowed to recroes the river; we found that we were caught in a trap, teat the bridges were clewed againet us, mad that the vile proalamatiou of the government bad been backed by warlike preparations on a settle so TAM that it appeared as if a Wattle armament of 200,00.1 men were about to besiege the metropolis. Under them circumstance we felt ourselves constrained to embrace one of two alternatives: either to bring an unarmed people in collision with m armed authority, in which they would have tidedto pass the bridges manned by armed and mounted policemen, guar by troop., commanded by nfiemen ton cealed in the admixing houses, and trtelwl by artillery; or to leave the odium on the government of having prevented, by a sanguinary prohibition, the exercise of an u.odouleed right. We chose the latter course, and we now leave the country to judge of the relative position of the convention and a government that can only uphold itself by an used infringement of the British constitution. Fellow-oxintrymeni the first victory is gained—tbe courage of the men of London has been tested. Despite the government prohibition, they came together in such numbers as the metropolis has never before witnemed. Their devotion has been proved by the tact that they unanimously seconded the resolve a of the convention, and not one act of violence or insult on their part has sullied thehenour of that glorious day. nee Ilea been the first step—let the country prepare fur the neat. The duty of this convention will be, m long as it lasts, to organim the people for the second and more decieire effort. Courage and perseverance, and we shall conquer. Not an beer, not a day, most our energy abate. We solemnly pledge ourselves to the greet work, and we demote our selves heart and soul to the interests; of those who have placed their conhelence in us. The national assembly will meet at the 14th of the month ; the country mast be prepared to support the re solves of that—the people's parliament. We protest against the illegal tyranny of the government. We declare ram de. termination to re-tst by every bonostralde means at our disposal the slightest infringement on our rights and privileges. and we proclaim our Arm resolve to devote our lives, if necemary, to the glorious aim of establishing the pe op le's charter!

No sooner had Lord MELBOURNE resumed seat than up jumped Lord BROUGHAM from the woolsack ; asked "it great numbers of the trades or other persons were to say that they should like to see the sovereign, or to accompany those who carried up an address, how were their lordships to prevent their doing so?" He added, " The assemblage was no doubt to be regretted, but to be regretted only because all assemblages of large numbers were inconvenient. Nevertheless the assemblage itself was perfectly legal." The Duke of WELLINGTON is too modest a man to question rashly the dictum of a lawyer on a poict of law: nevertheless, he demur, ed to the LORD CHANCELLOR'S declaration:—" As to the assemblage being a legal one,—he had not the act of parliament by him—but he believed it to be alto- gether illegal." The noble and learned ex-Chancellor has such bad luck in being misunderstood and misreported on all occasions, that we might have been prepared for an erratum on the passage in Hansard, which we have been quoting. Au incident, however, which oc curred some eleven months later, puts all doubt of its correctness out of the question. On Saturday, the Bth of October, 1831, it was resolved at a meeting of delegates from twelve metropolitan parishes, that the inhabitants of these parishes should on the Wednesday following meet at some central point, and thence proceed in procession to the palace, with addresses praying his Majesty to retain and place confidence in his reforming ministers. On Wednesday, the 12th, the inhabitants of these twelve parishes marched in as many processions to Portland-place; the combined procession then pro. ceeded down Regent-street, across St. James's square, down St. James's-street, to the palace. Some of them remained in Pall-mall, a considerable number got into the palace-yard and the park. A delegation then waited upon Lord MELBOURNE, who expressed his regret that there had not been time to consult the king—his belief that had there been time his Majesty would have waived etiquette and received the addresses in person. As matters stood, his lord ship advised that they should be presented by the county members, which was done, and a gracious answer returned. It so happened that some black guards in the crowd collected to witness the preces sion, embraced the opportunity to break the Duke of WELLINGTON'S windows, pelt the Marquis of LONDONDERRY wish stones, and pull the Duke of CUMBERLAND from his horse. These outrages elicited some discussion in both Houses of Par liament that evening. And in the Commons Mr. BANHES said:—" Ile could not refrain from expressing his regret that the noble and learned lord on the woolsack should have expressed, through inadvertency, an opinion that it was lawful for large bodies to repair in procession to the Palace for the purpose of presenting petitions to his Majesty. It was against the law, and they all saw that day the practical result of its repetition." Notwithstanding this explicit chal lenge, Lord Bain:Guam neither retracted the opinion he bad expressed of the legality of such proceedings, nor questioned the accuracy of the report which attri buted that opinion to him. It is to be presumed that the diligent researches of that eminent legal antiquary, the Duke of WELLING TON, have since disentombed the act of the 13th of Charles 11., which in 1830 "he had not by him ;" and that Lord BROUGHAM has admitted his error. Anxious to make amends for lormer mistakes, he not only recants his doctrine respecting pro cessions to present petitions to the sovereign, but goes further, and denounces all meetings " too large for any possibility of discussion" as " essentially illegal." This, it appears, is not exactly a new opi nion with Lord BROUGHAM, for he tells us that in 1819 he declared the Manchester meeting to be illegal. The noble and learned ex-chancellor will not, how ever, pretend that he has invariably held this opinion during the interval between 1819 and 1818 ; for if he has, what must men think of his conduct, when, in 1831, he allowed his colleagues, Lord ALTHORP and Lord Jolts RUSSELL, to write letters of thanks in re ply to votes of approbation passed at Birmingham by a meeting of 150,000 men? The Duke of WELLINGTON, having convinced Lord BROUGHAM that he was wrong in his views of the law regarding processions to present addresses to the Sovereign, naturally lays no great stress on this other opinion respecting the illegality of " monster meetings." His grace, no doubt, politely declared, on Monday evening, that "he firmly believed the speech of his noble friend was founder) on tbe law of the country as it exists." The sequel of his grace's remarks, however, showed that he used the expression " founded on" in the same sense as novelists, when they tell us their tales are " founded on fact." For he explicitly called upon government to make such a law as Lord Bnounnam had declared to exist. After alluding to the hardship of " placing all the inhabitants of the metropolis wider alarm," " paralysing trade and business of every de scription," and ' driving individuals to seek safety by arming themselves," the duke proceeded to say : " The inconveniences which were experienced this day have now been repeated for, I believe, a fourth time" in this short session of parliament. I trust that by the bill which is now pend ing in the other house of parliament, or by other measures that may be considered necessary, the law shall be explained and understood, so that meet ings may be limited to the numbers that can properly discuss the questions that are to be considered by the individuals who think proper to discuss them." By a singular coincidence, while the Duke was thus call ing on the House of Lords for laws to repress demon strations of public opinion, the writers in the govern ment organ in Printing-house-square were penning similar suggestions, and upon exactly the same grounds. On Tuesday morning the Times was found declaring : A population—reckoning only the denser part of the metro polis—of owe million persons was yesterday obliged to suspend its ordinary occupations, and lose a day to industry and im provement. Even the militsry movements and other pre parations were not without serious cost. The present event is worth the cost, but we de not want another. If we are threatened with another, it will be time to think of some cheaper, less troublesome, and more summary way of sup pressing Me nuisance. Here then we have the Duke of WELLINGTON—who being commander-in-chiet appears by late events to have been acting as law adviser of the crown, just as the President of the Board of Trade has been acting great part of the session as under-secretary for the colonies—and the government organ in the press, (which after failing to work up a panic out of the I Trafalgar-square nestle has succeeded better with the Kouningtou.common demonstration) clamouring simultaneously for laws to prevent the exercise of an old constitutional right. They count upon the appre hensions which a skilful use of the culpable language of certain chartist delegates may have inspired, and upon the success of tee repressive arrangements of Monday. We trust that even should government be weak enough to be misled by such councillors the common sense of the country will prevent their act ing upon unwise fears. As to the expediency of guard ing the sovereign and the legislature against intimida tion or coercion by a local mob we have repeatedly expressed our opinion. We wish to see them placed in security from such attempts by more complete legislation than at present exists, and by less disrepu table statutes than that of CHAS. 11., which imposes heavy penalties on the soliciting more than twenty signatures to a petition, or the SIDMOUTH and CASTLEREAGH Act, which denounces the penalty of death against twelve persons who may remain together after a magistrate has ordered them to separate. We wish to see these flagitious enactments erased from the statute book, and a reasonable law for keeping riotous and even numerous and excited assemblages at safe distance from the sovereign and the national leislature. But the right of public assembly is a constitutional right, with which the legislature can not be allowed to tamper. Nor should the government be allowed the arbi trary power of wresting statutes for this purpose, or exhuming old ones from the most tyran nical year of a tyrannical and anti-constitutional I reign. The government organ assured us, re terday morning, that but 7,000 chartists passed the bridges, and that but 3,000 joined them from Southwark. Most certainly no chartist stayed away from the pacific demonstration of his wty. So that government has set to p s y -turv y both London and the statute-book in order to forbid a --seller' of ten thousand persons. And because this • We have envie difficulty in making up the four cases.
