Mr. REYNOLDS gave notice for Friday 21st , to ash the Secretary of the Admiralty whether the water-tight hulk heads were not removed from the Birkenhead previ ous to sailing ? Mr. ANSTEY fixed the motion on the subject of the ex ulsion of the free-church ministtra from the Austrian dominianafor Tuesday next. THE BURMESE WAR. Sir R. INGLIS inquired of the President of the Board M Control, whether there wee nny ground for believing that needless delay bad occurred in preparing the expedi tion against Ava—and also whether the papers, espies& tory of the circumstances out of which that espedithen had originated, would be laid before the house ? Mr. BERRIES hoped very shortly to be propos& es,l lay on the table papers which would elucidate the WWI* and prvress of those events, which there wits resign fear had by this time led to hostilities between the Mom' empire and the Indian goverment. With regard to Ash put of his hon. friend's question which related to the ✓umours of needless delay in preparing the espedition, he had the satisfaction of informing him that cietwittutandiag the reports that had gone forth, no unucceseary delay bad occurred. (Cheers.) The expedition had been prepared under the direction of the Ciovernor•General—all the no smeary arrangements had been executed with the greatest exactness, and it had taken its departure at U2O exalt time the Governor-General intended, and had probably arrived at its destination on the very day what is expected and desired it should arrive. (Cheep.) Ma begged to remind the house, in consequence of the which had erroneously gone forth, that he had stated as a former occasion that the Governor-General, in his to avoid the evils of war, had sent a ' , Ater to the " 14 111 S Ave, warning him of his danger, and giving bit *a Ist of April to consider whether he would, by with the demands of the Indian government ter render hostilities unnecessary ' • and the espeditioa tam SO timed that it should arrive on that day to be reedy a ad IS the instant should redress be refused ; and of MGM persons acquainted with these matters would see the_ pro priety of not allowing the force to reach Rangoon before the day tined for the final answer of the King of Ave. (Rear, hear.)

Ile believed that these diaabilielos were chiefly threefold.

But one of the greatest of those wants eau the want of , power on the part attic colonial bishops to carry out proper discipline. It wo commonly supposed that the bishops of , the colonial dioceses wanted greater power than they pos sessed. His right hon. friend pointed out in his speech, and there he:agreed with I•im,that the power of the bishops of the colonial seas greater than it ought to be. It was an autocratic power. They wanted the mesas of bringing °Emden under some fair and proper mode of trial ' and adjudication. Now he had no hesitation in saying that he for one would not be a party to nanowlog the broad and eimprehensire basis on which the church of England now sewed, and he joined his right hon. friend in the opinion which he had expressed that there ought to be some change in the law, and that the church did require some legislative assistance which might prevent the bishops from retaining thi..t power, which he did not believe they were prep ired toe license improperly, but a power which we, dangerous.

Now, he had consulted several vorLdent ' lawyers and divines, but he had met with no s divine who could te ll him what was meant by rig . Ile!

It then went on a+, they "shall meet together from time to time, and at each as dais by mutual consent, or by a majority of the veins the said clergy and laity." What was meant by " clew and laity," or what proportion of laity these ItteetWoplain to consist of, or whether they were to vote aspersed, or jointly, he could not say, because y , it was dila mit fr es thie haguage to ascertain what was the real wawaint but these were mitten of detail, deriving their flagerlaala from the fact to which he had adverted, that as they bad no repeal of the disabling statute, these arrange ments ought to be clearly enacted, and if they were not they could not proceed upon them.

It wu no answer to say that the articles in the Bonk of Common Prayer contained a declaration of the Queen's supremacy. (Hear, hear.) Mr. OSWALD reminded the Colonial Secretary that the form of ordination required the acknowledgment of the Queen's supremacy. Mr. ADDERLEY would support a measure which he believed would remedy a practical grievance, and extend to the church in the colonies that freedom of action which was necessary to its efficiency. Sir It. INGLIS believed the effect of the bill would be to break up the church of England in the colonies into so many distinct churches, without affording any security that even the rubric and formularies of that church would be retained. _ _ Mr. A. B. ROPE spoke in support of the bill, which he said asserted the rights of conscience and pre free action the church in tke colonies. The ATTOUNEY-GENERAL remarked that there was nothing in the existing law to prevent the clergy and laity in the colonies from meeting together to make regulations for the government of the church, if they thought proper to do so; and beyond that, wiles@ the object of the bill were to offset the complete separation of the church from the state, it would be inoperative. With regard to the supre macy of the crown, he thought it better that it should be guarded as at present by the oath, than by subscription to the thirt7-nine articles, which experience had shown might be explained away or interpreted in a non-natural sense. Mr. BETHEL'. disputed the ground on which Mr. Gladstone had founded the measure—vr., that the members of the church of England in the colonies were subject to disabilities in regard to their ecclesiastical affair from which other religion, communities were free. Sir W. P. WOOL) denied that the church in the colonies was as free ar dissenting bodies, and instanced, in confirma tion of his view, the power which the colonial bishops pas ser to remove clergymen without appeal. In the United States the church possessed synodical action, and the result was most benefie Mr. HORSMAN warned the Colonial Secretary that he might possibly, in the attempt to establish equality in reli gious matters in our colonies, really increase the inequality at present existing, and while maintaining the advantages of state connexion avoid the necessary restrictions which that connexion imposed. Mr. GLADSTONE inquired if the right hon. gentleman the Secretary for the Colonies would have any objection to lay on the table of the house the correspondence between the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop et Sydney ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said that as the correspondence was a prints one he could not undertake to lay it before the house. _ _ _ The =Minuet was then carried without a division, and the house proceeded to the other orders of the day.

He had scarcely ever kaown as instance where the result of the ant day's poll had been reversed by the second day. A county election was always • holiday, and gentlemen who were acquainted with the manufacturing districts would acknowledge, as he did, the evil effects of the second days election. Mr. PACK' oppos ed the bill. Col. MIMI P said the bill was &diagram to a civilised community, and he hoped that the house would give a de cided negative to it. Hr. W.

NIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. Tsai DAT—ltormlam lb. sm. Jittentica. lb. 1 mi. trataaass—Akrsla& IL Illes.........Alisrases, M. Sta. LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 20. THE members of the House of Commons paid, last week, ono of the heaviest penalties inflicted on those who undertake the duty of legislation—they had to listen to, and take part in, a debate upon May nooth. Serious as are the aspects of the question in volved—warmly as most men feel on ono side or the other, perhaps there is not within the whole range of parliamentary topics any other that is regarded with so much distaste, or entered upon with mote misgivings. As a rule, this apple of political discord is usually thrown up by some ono who desires to ob tain political capital for himself or his clique at the expense of his fellow legislators ; and seldom, indeed, is this experiment made without damaging many more than it serves. It is as dangerous gene rally to those who moot it as to those against whom it is brought to act, and as often slays the political characters of one party as it does of another. Just as the old religious wars afforded the most san guinary combats, so do our modern religious discus sions supply the moat injurious debates. Bigotry and intolerance; blind zeal and bitter uncharitable. ness, throng thick and threefold; and woo alike to those who take part in the discussion and to those who are silent—to those who have the courage to vote and to those who ingloriously stop away. Dulness, alternating with perversity, affords little gratification to those fated to listen; whilst visions of election difficulties crowd on the mental view of those who speak. Trouble of troubles, indeed, to a or is a politico-religious debate on Maynooth. Last week's debate afforded no exception to the rule. Two hours of Mr. SPOONER'S sincere dulness were closed by his formal proposition "To inquire into the system of education carried on at Maynooth." This evident shifting of his ground by the member for North Warwickshire was not, of course, permitted to pass annoted. When the tories were out of place, Mr. SPOONER sought and gained political capital by denouncing Maynooth, and by advocating the with , drawal of. the grant to that college. His views were adopted not only by a large number of high church men, but also by a considerable section of sincere and highly estimable dissenters, who felt gratified by the discovery of a champion amongst the ranks of tbe territorial interest. Mr. SPOONER abused very heartily the sins of the ultra-montane party, and: put constantly before those who would listen to him his reasons why the public monies should not bo spent upon anti-Clinst in Ireland. But with all his zeal for truth, he in variably neglected—with all the length and repe tition of his speeches, he always failed—to do ono thing. lie continually forgot to talk of the clerical wealth enjoyed by the clergy of the religious mino rity in Ireland—he never mentioned the abundant revenues yearly divided by the established church in that country. He omitted to point out the millions sterling taken by protestant clergymen from laud. originally owned by their popish predecessok—the Protestants, meanwhile, being, in many parts of the island, only units to the Romanist hundreds. Mr. SPOONER invariably omitted to point out upon what plea of policy—to say nothing of justice—the late government could refuse the annual thousands given by act of parliament for educating the Irish priest hood, who supply the religious wants of the great majority of their countrymen, whilst the protestant clergy were taking hundreds of thousands from the church funds of the same country for the religi ous care of a minority. He never took heed of the parliamentary compact made on this subject ; nor gave weight to the fact that educated priests are better than uneducated priests ; nor that the grant he denounced was as much educational as ecclesiastical. When his political friends were in Opposition, Mr. SPOONER took, of course, no bead of all those things. His chief object was to damage the government in posses sion, and, whilst carrying out his own views, to pin reputation es a stanch, if reckless and sir ramosiing, champion of our national protestandeni. But SPOONER with the tones out, and Stomas with the tories in, are two as different men as Pump drank and PHILIP sober. When the session this honourable member for North Warwiebshir' e as we have said, a notice on the books of the Hoes, of Commons, with a view to the repaid of the grant; bat the Militia Bill having upset Lord JOHN Res- SELL, and Mr. SPOONER 'S landed friends coming into office, hey presto! Mr. SPOONER'S tactics change. Instead of repeal, ho thinks inquiry better ; the milder, the modified course, will now do. He W edges in a compromise—one of those cheeks and Weser, and arrangements and combinations, we now hear so much about from the Disraeli-Derbyites Mr. SPOONER'S protectionist friends always knew, es well as Lord lons IturELL did, how impolitic—to say nothing about fairness or possibility—it would be to withdraw, or attempt to withdraw, the grant from Milynooth, without first of all reforming the Irish church. To ssppeennd the general taxes on Maynooth, or upon any re • 'one en dowment, is bad enough in all conscience, an a thing to bo disarmed by parliament—but ressed in a hiffb, calm, patriotic temper: not in the spirit ink destisessritqc agent, or with the sordid soul of a snare plareems. But reformation of the Irish church, -m general amlipathy to endowments in general, are oho very bed things a tory administration would dream and therefore the moment Mr. Stomas's were in office, that facile, though tedious, politician, gave up his demand for repeal, and contented himself with ono for inquiry. This exhibition of political cowardice, and of parliamen- Ury juggling, did not pa unnoted or unpunished; and the result of the first night's contest may be said to have been, that many M.P. endangered their seats—many more secured a large stock of election vexations—the Maynooth grant, though assailed, is scarcely endangered—and Mr. SPOONER did quite as much harm to himself as to his opponents. Last night saw another act of the Maynooth par liamentary drama. Tho curtain rose late, and it being Wednesday, there was no chance f much being done. The question , therefore, arose—to what day the contest should be adjourned, and then came the revival of the old elements invariably attending the subject. No unanimity was to be expected—a squabble begin—in the midst of which, six o'clock struck—" time was up"—the SPEAKER left the chair —and the promoters of the Maynooth inquiry must begin over again. A new entry must be made upon the books of the House, and for a while at least the Commons and the country will enjoy a respite from the topic. Who knows but this reprieve may outlast the present parliament ? Who would grieve if it did? THE trade toryism of old—the rude, blatant spirit of protection to over-paid labour that formerly strode through the land, smashing spinning Jennies, breaking power looms, burning cotton-mills, destroy ing threshing machines, knocking down workmen who dared to work cheaper, faster, or better, than their ancestors; doing, In short, tierce and froward battle against every now invention and every social and scientific improvement—is now happily laid for ever. But, although it does not often, brand and club in hand, addict itself, iu these more enlightened times, to riot, arson, and battery, yet, under the milder fortis of combination, it keeps up certain petty tyrannies and plants upon t he paths of manufacturing and commercial advancement, certain covert obsta cles which tend as effectually to retard pro ' greets as the older system of open violence. 1 lti several trades and professions, combinations still exist—tight, stringent, and inflexible in their operation upon the men who compose them ; mis chievous, exacting, and grossly unjust in their ope ration upon the public. The broad effect of these combinations upon the consumer is, by keeping up prices, to clefratid the public of these benefits to which it is entitled by diminished cost of production. Their effect apon ths operative manufacturer is exactly similar to that which a certain animal inflicts upon itself when it attempts to swim—it cuts its own throat; for, while prices are kept up, consumption diminishes; employment consequently becomes scarce —and precarious. It is a most remarkable circumstance that, of all the articles of merchandise exchanged for money in this eminently commercial nation, none aro so diens trousky tampered with combinations and the atten dant high prices as that medium through which all advance, all improvement, every new discovery, every step of advance in civilisation and happiness is communicated to the world; viz., the products of the . printing press. From the moment the manu script of an author leaves his desk until its contents reach the hands of the reader, he is the victim of a powerful chain of combinations; and in this—which likes to be thought the most enlightened country upon earth—books aro dearer and less accessible than in any other part of the civilised world. The first of these combinations exists among that larger section of the printing business, the type setters, or compositors. They aro banded together in a claw compact combination, the ramifications of which extend, with very few exceptions, into every printing office in the United Kingdom. They pre scribe to their employers, not only what they shall pay, but how they shall pay for various sorts of work; and the rates of payment are uniform for the blundering operative and for the most skilful. So thoroughly is this combination organised that any breach of its laws committed in the remotest part of Ireland or Scotland can bo referred to the centre of authority in London, and adjudicated upon, if neces• sary, by return of post. Let a master-printer's busi ness be ever so urgent, interruptions continually occur, that the men may form themselves into com mittees or "chapels" to settle disputed points which constantly arise between master and man. Tho second combination of which the author is the victim, is formed by thole who actually print his work—the pressmen; this combination rs quite as inconvenient and costly as that among compositors. But the third combination is the author's great grievance—namely, that by which publishers and retailers stand between him and the public to make his book pay the inordinate toll of 331 per cent. for allowing it to pass by their agency into the hands of the reader. Ilia work has already, besides strug gling through two combinations, paid some 15 per cent. to government, as paper and other duties. The case, therefore, stands thus : of the cost of every book to the consumer, within a fraction, one-half goes topayVor its intellectual and mechanical production, and the other half goes partly in taxes to govern ment, but chiefly in supporting the noble art of book selling—that occult, recondite, and wonderful science which has required, to bring it to its present state of expensive perfection (as we learn from one of the manifestos of the Booksellers' Associa tion) " the growth of ages." Happily?, however, by the law of nature, which decrees that whatever grows very old must soon die, the venerable combination of booksellers is, at last, its articulo inertia. Extreme unction was adminis tered to it yesterday by Lord CAMPBELL, not by the officious interference of friends, but at its own re quest. It will be remembered that the enterprise of certain enlightened members of "The Trade," who presumed to sell their own property in new books at their own prices, brought the great retailers profit, or twenty-five per cent. question, to practical issue. These rebels having been outlawed by those Medea and Persians, the wholesale publishers—whose laws have never altered since the days of 1)r. SAMUEL JOHNSON—having been banned the precincts of " The Row," and warned away from Albe marle-street—appealed to the public. The appeal was promptly answered, and of course the public voice decided in its own favour, for cheap books. The issue was referred by the Combined Booksellers Association to the joint arbitration of Lord CAMP BELL, Mr. MILMAN, and Mr. GROTE. As a body, the non-conformists were no parties to this arbitm tration. They declined to be bound—upon a matter of so profound a right as that of selling what they bought to the best advantage to themselves—by any sort of arbitration : for no decision could affect that right. On the other hand, the Book sellers' Association having solely sought the media tion of the eminent triumvirate above-named, must of course be bound by the verdict delivered by the arbitrators of their own choosing. That verdict is against them. For a clear, unanswerable, definitive settlement of the whole question, we must rcter to the column of to-day's paper in which Lord Campbell's judgment is printed at length. It gives the coup-de-grace to the dispute in the most graceful and conciliatory manner. Let us hope that the samespirit will actuate the disputants in carrying out the improved system of bookselling, of which, we trust, his lordship's docu ment will prove the inauguration. Let us indulge in a pleasing vision of that splendid dinner at the Albion Tavern, which has from time immemorial preceded the great periodical "trade sales" of the wholesale publishers. Let us hope that Messrs. LONGMAN and COMPANY, the brave van of the asso ciated book-militant will take a friendly glass of champagne with the arch " undersolkrs," Mesas. BICKERS and Busu : let us blandly anticipate that Mr. JOHN CHAPMAN (of the chea school) will hob and-nob with Mr. JOHN MURRAY of high price opi nions); and that the toast of t e evening will be the sound, but hackneyed, axiom of " Small profits and quick returns," to which we beg to propose a second sentiment—" May every combination, whe ther amongst booksellers, revenue boards, composi tors, or pressmen, which tends to keep cheap books from the reading public be speedily abolished.' Tug LIBERAL PARTY.—It is rumoured that in any future arrangement of a liberal ministry, it is possible Lord John Russell might feel inclined to go to the Upper House, to take the lead there in place of Lord Lansdowne; leaving the onerous post of chiet in the Commons to some other reformer, in whom the crown, the country, and the house might have confidence.—Daily News. Tire Cn'r ELECTION.—Some speculations have appeared in a tory journal as to the candidates for the City of London on the dissolution of the present parliament. They are, we have reason to know, quite premature. The final arrangements on the subject will not be completed until early next week ; but they will, we may confidently expect, be such as will give satisfaction to tho liberal party. Mr. COBDEN, M.P., baa been unable to attend to his duties in parliament during the put week, in conse quence of the death of his father-in-law. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—At the recent meeting of this society, Sir Roderick Murchison, the presi dent, in the chair, S. IL Block, W. B. Beaumont, and C. resort, Esqs., were officially introduced upon their election. Colonel Edward Sabine, ILA., Lieut. J. Lyons M'Leod, ILN., and Henry Edwards, Eaq., were elected fellows. The papers read were :—Capt. W. Allen, RN. " Observa tions taken with the aneroid in Syria and Pale stine;" John Crawford, Esq., F.R.S., "Sketch of the geography of Borneo ;" Lieut. Leycester, RN., " On the volcanic group of Milo." The President announced that the catalogue of the books and pamphlets in the library had been published since the last meeting, and that the anniversary meeting would be held at the society's apartments on Monday the 24th inst., when the royal medals for the year would he delivered to Dr. John Rae and to Capt. Henry Strachey, and the annual address on the progress of geographical science and discovery would he delivered. . BURGLARY AND DESPERATE ENCOUNTER AT NAVlNBV.—Between two sod three o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last, a thief, at present unknown, broke into the house of Mr. Wino, the keeper of • beer-house in the parish of Navenby, situate in the Brant, near to the four cross roads. The thief entered by • cellar window, the iron stanchions of which he had forced off in order to ena ble him to get in. Mr. Winn wee awoke by the noise, and got a light and went down stairs, when he was at once at tacked by the burglar, who knocked out the light, and struck Mr. Winn soviulent a blow on the head with the iron stanchion as momentarily to deprive him of consciousness. On recovering himself a little • desperate struggle took place between him and the burglar, and both wore dread fully inured, and in the end the burglar escaped, leaving Mr. Winn almost dead. The only other inmates in the house were Mr. Winn's wife and children, who were too terrified to render assistance. Neat morning the slop, cap, boots, and waistcoat of the burglar were discovered lying close to the window where he effected an entrance, on the outside, he having, doubtless, to dispossess himself of these articles before he could pass through, and blood could be traced for a considerable distance on the road, clearly indi cating the severity of the struggle which hail taken place. He has hitherto escaped detection. Poor Mr. Winn is so dreadfully injured as to render his recovery doubtful.— Lincolordire Chronicle. FRANCE. PAWS, WEDNESDAY F.eraiNG. Count Mole has lost no time in publishing a ll 6. dignant disavowal of the service attributed to hint I,v M. Gmnier de Cassagnae in warning Louie Nupoh nit of the plot, headed by Changarnier, fur seizing Id, person, and confining him in the castle of Vincemsa. Tho following letter, addressed to the editor of the analitutionuel, appears in the Assemblee Anti Paris, May IS. Sir,—l have just read in your journal an article in al.ich my name is mixed up in the most disgraceful manner witk facts which I declare to Ise completely false. I was rise". present at the meeting at the Tuileries of whi c h that smiths speaks, and I affirm that to my knowledge nothing of tile kind ever took place. As to the charge of denunciator, which I am made to play on leaving thst meeting, I 4,4 only make one remark, viz., that it is an infainous calumny, against which the tenour of my whole life suffices to p h ,. tect me. I will moreover add that so much audacity in in- sult, and so much passion in outrage, can only injure the cause which it is intended to serve. France seldom forgets the services which arc rendered to her, but if she ccidd cease to remember them, insult and detracton would in. stantly bring them buck to her memory. It certainly i e not either of myself or of my own career that I speak thin, They are the retlezions which have arisen in my mind from reading the article in your journal intitulcd, " M. Chnirar nier. and M. de Lamoriciere." I beg your insertion of this letter, and have the honour to be, etc., (Signed) Mote. The following answer to M. Moll's letter has bets addressed to the editor of the Assent/W. , and will appear in the Ometilationnel of to.morrou Sir,—ln the letter of Count Mole, which you puhl,h in your number of to-day, there aro insults and a denial .4 facts. As to insults, they arc not allowed to anybody. A, to the denial of facts, in order to make it justly appreciat it would suffice to cite the name of the person to whom Count Mole narrated the incidents of the meeting at ne Tuileries. The country would soon decide between the two contrary affirmations which was the true one. GiIANIEIL bt: CASBAGN%I. Cassagnac's article has excited immense indigna tion in military circles in Paris. At Tortoni's, en! in other off's, the C'onstitiditainel of yesterday Lay been publicly torn up by officers. Some political friends of General Changarnier bar e set on foot a subscription to compensate him for the loss of his commission. It is said that ES,OOO/. Lai already been subscribed. The government is greatly preoccupied by the movements of the German courts. The choice of de Ileckereen to go on a secret mission to Vienna astounds everybody, that person being generally con sidered as one of the least reputable members of a court beside which that of Aranjuez would appear unblemished. For the rest M. Ifeckereen has offi.red himself in succession to every French ambassador to St. Pe tersburg since IsIS as a secretary. Rut neither Generals Leflo nor Lamoricire would hear of his accompanying them. The speech of M. Dumirail in the Corps Legistatif, which I sent you yesterday, has made some sensa tion as a foretaste of the opposition which is gather ing on the budget. I have already mentioned the objections raised in the committee on the budget against the ministry of policy. The dislike of this ministry is greatly increased by the circumstances that the expenses of the Corps Legislatif arc sub mitted to its control. The accounts of the Chaiiilicr are returned with marginal observations of the mi nistry of police, which arc galling to the dignity of the former body. The report of M. I)ufaure upon the marine of France has been, as you are aware, frequently called for by the committer of the budget and other com mittees. Notwithstanding this, the government will not allow this laborious treatise on the mismanage ment of the naval department to be printed, but obliges the members of the Corps Legislatif to con sult it in manuscript at the ministry of marine. A Marseilles paper states that the President, on proceeding to visit the south in the progress talked of for this summer, will go to Bordeaux and Marse illes. The Prince is expected to start about the end of June, probably soon after the prorogation of the Corps Legislatif. Even Corsica and Algeria are mentioned as points which may be possibly included in this trip ; but this is a mere surmise. Fresh severities are in store fur the press. The following communicated note appears in the Mweiteur : Several journals, in the hope of evading the penalties de creed against the authors of false news, make use of terms such u "on (lit," "on annonre," in order to spread reports which are without any foundation. These expressions being only a subterfuge in order to render illusory Art. 15 of the organic decree on the press, cannot be allowed to screen the journals which make use of them from the potal ties enacted by that decree. M. Viremaitre, publisher of the Corgaire, and M. Chanavat, one of the editors of that .journal, w(ro yesterday condemned to a month's imprisonment and 150 fr. fine each, for the offence of "attempting to ex• cite hatred to the government," in an article entitled " Petit dialogue sur de tres petite chases, which was published on the 17th ult. M. Barba, the bookseller, was to-day sentenced to a month's imprisonment and ,500 fr. tine fur selling " L'Eufant du Carnaval," by the well-known writer Pigault Lebrun. A decree of the Prince President of the Republic, dated the 27th March, but only just inserted in the Bulletin des Lois, opens an extraordinary credit of 260,0005.. to the Minister of the Interior for the pay ment of tho expenses caused by the arrests aided after the events of December. How many more dic tatorial decrees may bo in the President's pocket to bo published when convenient it is impossible to conjecture. _ _ _ The Council of State has for some days past been engaged in the examination of a bill on the customs' duties. Among the principal clauses there is one which removes the duty from raw materials used in shipbuilding, and another which does away with the prohibition on earthenware. The last refusals of the oath by councillors general include the names of the Marquis de Mornay, Count H. de l'Aigle, and M. Viet, ex-mayor of Compiegne, in the Oise ; Viscount Henry do Trevenene, cx repre sentative, in the COtes-du-Nord ; Walekenaer, Dubois, Lighter, Pillard-Tarin, and do Vendeuvrc, in the Aube; and the l'rinee do Berghes and M. Urbain Puntons, in the Haute Garonne. The number of refusals in the municipal councils goes on inetro•inz. M. Gomez, President of the Tribunal of Commerce of St. Omer, has refused; M. de la Pierre, a sub-lieute nant of thaaseurs, has refused the oath, and has given his reasons in the following spirited language: The eagle has not yet acquired the right to treat with a sort of disdain the mrigns under which the aoldi..N of France have fought for 3; years. Many hearth to receive the eagle, illustrated by the equally glorious victo ries and defeats of our fathers, suffer at the mere •emblanee of disdain, or of insulting forgetfulness of other misfortunes, of those lilies which out ancestors at the price of their Mood also covered with glory, of that flag also which duties N years we hope we have carried not without honour. This letter alludes to the speech of the President of the 10th of May, wherein he alludes to the whole period elapsed since the empire as one of misfortune. Yesterday morning the republican guard, in full dress uniform, were drawn up in several lines, in the Salle des Pas Perdus at the I'alais de Justice to take the oath individually to the Prince President and to the constitution. The president of the Court of Appeal and the procureur of the republic p'acts.l themselves in tho centre, and the oath having been read aloud each soldier, on his name being culled, advanced, and raising his right hand, said—'• Je lo jure." The President of the Republic has ordered M. C. L. Muller to paint a picture representing the ceremony of installation of the great bodies of the state by Louis Napoleon, in the Salle des fitarechaux, at the Tuileries, which is to be placed over the fauteuil of the president of the Legislative Body, in the room of that by M. Court, representing King Louis Philippe swearing to the charter of 1830. _ _ . The Count d'Aquila, brother of the King of Naples, has jut arrived in Paris. A fire broke out on Sunday at Fonteney-aur-Come, near Orleans, and in the course of an hour de stroyed 35 houses. The church was with difficulty preserved.
