ADDERLEY declined pressing his amendment to • : drision.—Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. ! The house then resolved itself into committee on the bill. Clauses 1 and 2 were, the latter with verbal amendments, Weed to. On claw 3 being put, Mr. G. BERKELEY proposed an amendment confining the operation of the clause to killing hares by coursing or mares, not extending it to killing by firearms. suggested Th e CHANCELLOR of theEXCHEQUER that the object had better be effecte d b y • se p arate clause, or s proviso added to the next claus e . With regard to not be al- bunting Wee, he saw no reaso n why gntlemen should l u red to hunt hares without a certificate as well as foxes. The CHAIRMAN here stated that he perceived that the We of the bill referred to occupiers only, wof the clauses had reference to owners. These clauses the com mittee would not be competent to consider without& special 'auction from the house. After a short discussion the house resumed, and an instruc gen to the committee was, on the motion of, Mr. Colvile, Oven to insert the words owners and other persons so well uoccupien." The house then again went into committee, to. sa d the three first c l a uses were again put and agreed 00 clause 4, Kr, O. BERKELEY moved his amendment that per- um not having game certificates should not be permitted to hill hares by means of fire-arms, on the ground that it was Ware to encourage the use of fire-arms by the lower orders. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER oppose n d t he amendment. A t p resent a poor man was justified i looting & rabbit that came into his garden and destroyed t h e produce, and he could are no reason why he should not he equally j ustified in shooting a hare under similar circus's. , staues. Mr. ELLIOT considered if they did not confine the nee ef keratras in such cases to the daytime they would encourage !Ise lin % gr. EXLEY supported the amendment. The surest wsy of killin hares was by werefore the permission m kill by fire-sr g ute for a t he purposeire; sta ted by the Chancellor tithe Exchequer would be useless. • The Earl of MARCH was in favour of the clause as it good- The restriction proposed by tne amendment would M inoperative. Mr. G. BERKELEY believed that if the excuse for car rying fire-arms were given to poachers which the bill would offer unless accompanied by the restriction he proposed, t h er e would be a far greater number of murders in the rural districts than there had been. lie should divide on his amendment. Mr. BILDYARD supported the amendment, believing that the right to shoot hares without a certificate would, in many cases, by offering a temptation to kill game, beget ill Wood between neighbouring occupiers, and also that it would affect the revenue to a much greater extent than the Chancellor of the Exchequer expected. After some further discussion the committee divided — For the amendment 49 A ga inst it The clause as amended ween agreed to. Clause 5 was weed to, with the word " g " substituted for " hares." datives 6 and 7 were struck out, and the remaining clauses weed to, Mr. G. Berkeley postponing some amendments et which he had given notice until the bringing up of the report, which on the house resuming was ordered for the Ist if May. The remaining orders of the day were postponed until Am. the recess, and the house adjourned at a few minutes before six o'clock till two o'clock on Saturday next. STIRLING WATERWORKS Btr.r...—At the sitting of the committee on this boll yesterday, Mr. Law Hodges in the chair, Mr. Serjeant Andrews and Mr. Mereweather appeared for the promoters, and Mr. Henderson, of the Scotch bar, for the opposers of the bill. The only point mimed (which is an important one in reference to measures of this description) was that of a compulsory rate, the committee affirmed, generally, on the ground that the bill was promoted by commissioners and not by mpa a cony.

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, WE cannot but persist in the opinion, that the great danger to this country, its prosperity . , liberty, and institutions, does not arise from danger of popular commotion, or insurrectionary tendencies, from any efforts of orat ors to work up the people to sedition, or from any readiness of the people to fall into such a snare. Danger, we believe, on the con trary, to lie in the supineness of the legislature — in the government's allowing itself to be ear ned away by panic , an d absorbed in mere measures of repression and police, instead of seeking to win and content all classes of the population by prudently consulting their wishes and their interests, by remedying abuses and follow ing up reforms, and by our ministers heading th it halt, e on ward move of the country, instead of making and prohibiting all advances in the uncertain state of the future. No country can stand still in timas of universal movement and revolution such as these. We must either progress or retrograde. And the alternative depends altogether upon the public's maintaining its confidence and self-possession, or upon its allowing itself to be frightened out of both. The French revolution of 1792 and its consequences, flung this country back a full half century. Instead of the re f o rms and the progress, which even PITT contem plated, England was flung under a despotic tory regime, curtailed of its liberties, fleeced of its re sources, and given up as a prey to a frighted aristo cracy. The French revolution of 1830, on the contrary, gave us an immense impulse onwards--gave us, in fact, the Reform Bill. And yet the revolution of 1930 awakened the greatest effervescence in the population of this country. A tory ministry was then in power, and the Whigs, being out of office, did not shrink from placing themselves at the head of the popular movement, and stirring and exciting that movement, till it enabled them to carry a great measure of progress, and with it to instal themselves, to all appearance, as permanent ministers of the crown. We have now some reason to regret that the French revolution of 1848 did not find a 'fory minister at the helm. For then perhaps we might have had PARIS, APRIL 19,104, a.m. Notwithstanding the dismal prognostics of yester day, and the forebodings of the evening, and the doubling of the guards in all the guard-houses of Paris last night, the capital has continued in profound tranquillity, nor is there any present external sign of that tranquillity be ing broken. It is to be regretted that the government in its manifestoes and proclama Lions, pursues a course which, to say the least of it, indicates feebleness. To explain the proceedings of yesterday and Sunday, when from 150,000 to 200,000 peaceable citizens were suddenly called from their homes and their affairs to take up arms in defence of the public safety, it puts forth the hypothesis of a monarchical reaction and exclaims, "Plus de Royaute !" "Plus de ltegence!" Now there is not a child above twelve years old in Paris that would not laugh in the face of those who would seriously make such suppositions : and it is as noto rious as the fact of the fall of the monarchy of July on 25th February, that the prodigious demonstration of yesterday and Sunday were not directed against any partisans of royalty, but against those of demo cratic anarchy impersonated by two or three members of the l'rovisioual Government, at whose backs are, or are supposed to be, the scum of the fauxbourgs. The explanation of this is simple—there is a divi sion in the government. The majority is afraid of the minority. It is against the minority, in fact, and its partisans, that the demonstrations of yesterday and Sunday were directed. To the report of yesterday's proceedings, contained in the letters of the morning and the evening, I have little or rothing to add. That report anticipated the contents of the journals of this morning in referenceto these events. Various detachments of regiments of the line, cavalry and infantry, are waiting outside the barriers to enter Paris, which they are expected to do to-day. A meeting of some of the members of the government was held yesterday at the mi nistry of war, to decide finally upon the question of ordering these troops to enter Paris. General Courtais, the Commander-in-chief of the National Guard, attended on this occasion, and de chtred that ho had ascertained that the 411. n.) of tha National Guards of Paris generally was favourable to the introduction of the troo. A decree appears in the Moniteur of this morning, which will have an important effect on consumers in the capital, modifying the toll on wine:which at pee sent is exorbitant on the common and cheap wines used as the ordinary beverage of the people, and in significant on the more expensive sorts. In future it is to be imposed on the ad valorem principle, A programme of the celebration appointed for to morrow, also appears in the Moniteur. At 7 o'clock the National Guard and the line will occupy the places between the Marigny-square and the Bastille and the two quays. At 8 the members of the Provisional Government will meet at the Ministry of War. At half-past 8 they will set out for the Arc de Triumpho. The colonels of the army, the chiefs of batallions of I the Guard Mobile, the colonels of the republican and civic guard, accompanied by their standard bearers, will be grouped in front of the platform. Each colonel will mount on the platform and receive from one of the members of the Provisional Government the colours presented to him. In the evening the town will be illuminated. It was announced last evening that government had appointed General Changarnier commander-in chief of the troops of the line in the capital. An extraordinary credit of 9,639,000 fr. has been opened to the Minister of War for the purchase of 13,465 horses for the cavalry. of the At Valence, M. N. Chancel, a commissary government, sent from Paris to replace the other com missary, has been placed under arrest by the latter. The Messager of yesterday evening . says :—" This I , afternoon we saw pass along the Quilt aux Flours a hackney coach, escorted by about two hundred na tional guards, and in which were four officers of the civic force, two of whom appeared to us to be under arrest. " On Sunday last (says the ;Imager), between 1 1 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a mail on horseback, 1 wearing a tricolour brassard, and stating that he was sent by the Provisional Government, passed along the quays on the right bank of the Seine, read ing a proclamation to the national guards. He was accompanied by a small number of persons on foot, armed with muskets, and said that justice demanded •hat each corporation of workmen should have a re presentative in the National Assembly. A captain of the 3rd battallion of the 2nd legion desired him to exhibit the powers in virtue of which he harangued the citizens. After a sharp discussion the agitator was arrested and taken to the ROtel-de-Ville." --.--.. ITALY.—No advisee more recent in date than for warded yesterday have arrived from Italy. The Paris journals, however, of last night and this morning an nounce in a couple of lines the fact that Peachiera capitulated on the 15th. This is affirmed on the authority of a letter from Turin, but no details are given. No confirmation has arrived of the report which I sent of the defeat of the Venetian auxiliaries by the Austrians, between Vicenza and Verona, but of consi- the derable anxiety is entertained for the success liberal party, owing to the opinio n of military autho rities that die issue of the conflict will badecided by the advance of the Austrian army, now the line of the Iconzo, in the Friuli and its junction with the forces under Radetzki at Verona. THE progress of revolutionary opinions, or rather of revolutionary passions, in Ireland is signally displayed in the undisguised_ and unbridled censu re which has fallen upon Mr. Jons O'CoNsleu. on account of his having subscribed the declaration of loyalty recently agreed upon by the general body of Irish peers and commoners in London. The document in question, though not altogether unexceptionable, perhaps, in point of form, contains in reality nothing which any man who values peace and order need object to sign ; and the utter ab-ence of sectarian or political com plexion in the numerous array of names already ap pended to it, would doubtless at any other time have silenced all cavil on the y part of those who secretly abvt, whilo th shrink from the open responsibility of adopting, the illegal and anti-social doctrines of Mr. MITCHELL and his friends. The declaration as subscribed in London during the last few days,is little more than a transcript of that which for several weeks has been in course of signature througholt every part of Ire land, and which already bears the attestation of men of every creed and grade; of the catholic bishop and the protestant peer; of the landlord and the trader; the parson and the priest ; the man who lives by pro fessional labour, and of him who depends upon com mercial security. It expresses, and was avowedly intended to express, nothing more nor less than the settled conviction that whatever evils might afflict the country, or however urgent might be the claim for their redress, no change was worth seeking t h roug h anarchy, and that against its approach id I n 1 any and in every guise , the property, the ,an the education of the community would at all times be ready in self-defence to arm. Yet for signing such a document, in common with I the best men of all classes and conditions, Mr. Jostle O'CoNNeLL now stands arraigned by a large section of his immediate followers, and with diffizulty averted their public condemnation of him at the last weekly assemblage at Conciliation-hall. His trial for " treason to the cause" has been, it would seem, 1 , adjourned to some more convenient place and season; but loyalty to the QUEEN, or its profession, is openly regarded as rec over hi repeal, and if the recreant leader would recover his lost popularity and pre-emi nence,he must renounce the allegiance he has plighted ' either by equivocation or in so many words. Several of those who have hitherto been chief reckoned fast friends of the Old I reland party and its , have already pronounced in favour of the pike and rift* doctrines of the Young Irelanders. Three of the usu al orators of Conciliation Hall appeared at thel last meeting of the confederates, and publicly adopt entle-ed their insurgent confe ssion of faith. If these g men are now permitted to resume their former posts, or are suffered to participate in the proceedings of the association, all farther distinction between the two bodies will be practically at an end, and their re union for a common purpose, and by common means, will be n o longer uncertain. hetT old physical force con t r oversy will thus perhaps be erminated by the triumph of the Mitchellites, and the succumbing of the professed friends of moral and legal agitation. The memory and the maxima of O'CoNNett will thenceforth be tram pled under foot, and nothing wil l remain but a measuring of brute force with the exe cutive power. A speech delivered upon Monday last at Concilia tion Hall by the Rev. Dr. MILEY tends palpably in this direction. Evading the topic of usatiohave n against Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, which, as acc we already stated, has been put in a certain abeyance for the hour, the reverend patriot took occas ion to repu diate in unqualified terms the notion that the repealer. , generally approved or sanctimed the part taken by 1 their leader in the interview, which at his instance recently took place with Lord JOHN Russell.. Large and varied as were the demands which he then put I forward, Dr. MILEY calls upon the multitude to de- I clan by their acclamations that with not any nor with all of these combined would they be content ; and he 1 wishes plainly the inference to be drawn from thence, that concessions, no matter how wise or timely, would Ise of no avail. Now we confess that the conclusion we d r aw from such proceedings is just the reverse of that which this reverend enemy of peace desires to suggest ; nay, the very earnestness of his deprecation ought to convince impartial minds that he and all, who think as he does, fear the tranquillising:efficacy of healing and conciliatory measures on the part of th e g overnment. The craft is, as 1)r. MILEY appre hends, in danger from tardy justice being at length done to Ireland. Would that we could say we feel c onfident is there being solid ground for his mis . givin ! Bullet ministers think of it in time. If the bare announcement of their intention to bring in an elec tive franchise and a municipal 11, for the purpose of giving equal rig bi hts to the people of the two countries, has already filled the councils of sedition with alarm, and already driven the violent to more frantic and foolish co urses— might we not anticipate justly and reasonably from the avowal of a broad and com prehensive policy for Ireland, such as the Whigs in opposition undertook to produce, but of which we have, daring the last t wo y ears, heard nothing at all? MADRID.—We have received the Madrid mails of ; the 14th. The most curious event they announce is the banishment of the Duke and Duchess Montpen- 1 sier to Seville. This circumstance is explained as fol . ows :—The Duke of 'Montpensier gave a tint to his sister-in-law, in private conversation with her, that her diadem would be more steady on her brow if her ministers would yield a little more to the spirit of the age by adopting a less despotic policy. Isabella repeated this to Christina, and Cto Narvaez. An intimation was immediately given to the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier that they had her Ma jesty's gracious permission to visit which they Aranduez, and thence make a tour of Andalusia, after would find in Seville an agreeable " sejour." They were to start on the lath. The late communication of M. Bulwer to the Spanish cabinet, recommending a more liberal policy, and the answer to it form the principal subject of dis , cussion with the Madrid journals. Great indignation ' in expressed at the English minister for presuming to UNITED STATES - MEXICO. The announcement of the arrival of the Caledonia, and a short summary of her news, appeared in the Barren yesterday. We now gives full detail of in telligenw. The dates from Mexico are to the 16th of March. In accordance with the terms of the q ty, General Butler, who, as has been stated, perseded General Scott, had made, through his representatives, Generals Worth and Smith, an armistice, which is to last four months, with the Mexican commissioners. The armistice was signed at Guadalupe on the 2nd of March, and was subsequently approved of by the President at Queretaro. The question as to whether the treaty would be ratified by the Mexican congress remained as yet unsettled. Thirty-one members of congress were at Queretaro on the 21st ult. A meeting was to have been held on the 29th, at which it was supposed a mach greater number would be in attendance. A cir cularletter hadbeen aentto the govemorsof the various departments in relation to the treaty of peace. The governor of San Luis was in favour, and that of Gaa naxato against it. The governors of Jalisco and Zacatecas had asked for the publication of the treaty. General Lane had returned to Mexico on the Ist of March, having made a successful expedition against the guerillas. A ft er reaching Guadalupe, his com mand (says the American Star of the 3rd of March) sallied forth for Sequaltaplan, which they reached at sunrise. Before arriving, however, they were in ' formed that 3,000 Lancers were there. By turn, the Texans were in the advance, preceded by Lane and Hays, and when they got opposite the first house in edge of the town a volley of esoopeta ball. came whistling from it. The doors were soon opened, and the assailants killed. At the next house, or cermet, it was the same thing, and Major Polk coming up, the town was regularly assailed, the enemy firing from every house • in some instances, we are told , it came 4o a band-to- hand: fight. In a short time the enemy were driven from their positions, and some of them collecting in a body outside the town, were pursued respectively by Lane and Hays, and terribly cut up. The loss in killed on the side of the enemy is set dews at 100 at the least. We lost one man killed and four wounded. Fifty prisoners were brought into the city yesterday, amongst whom wereCapt.Monts no, and two lieutenants. Colonel Montano, the father of the captain, was killed, as was also Padre Martinez, the second and bosom friend of Jamuta. Jarauta himself, it is believed, was wounded, but he escaped, with five or six men. Santa Anna was a Tehnacan on the 12th, hav ing left Grimes on the night previous. He had applied to Gen. Twiggs, throaghHughes, for permission to pass through Vera Cruz and out of the country. A special express from Jalapa reached Vera Cruz on the evening of the 16th inst with the application, and as the general at once granted the permission asked, it was supposed the ex-president would arrive there in a day or two. A report was current in New Orleans on the 23rd that the steamer was detained at Vera Cruz from the 17th to the 18th, to receive Santa Anna on board, and that he was in truth a passenger on her. This I intellig ence had been brought to New Orleans by the West India steamer Great Western, which left Vera Cruz on the 18th. Major Graham arrived in New Orleans on the 20th init., on his way to Vera Cruz, bearing the ratified treaty to Gen. Butler. In America the greatest enthusiasm still existed amongst the people in regard to the proclamation of the French republic • which, however it might be felt by the senate, that body did not seem in any hurry to proclaim. Resolutions had been moved by Mr. Allen, in senate, to the effect That In the name and on behall of the American people, the con. gratulation of Congress are hereby tendered to the people of Prance upon their income In their recent efforts to consolidate liberty by sr bodying its principlesrepublican form of government. rat the President of the United Staten be and he is hereby requested to brass. mit this resolution to the American minister at Paris, with instruo. tione to present it to the French government but these being judged premature, by Mr. Calhoun, amongst others, were voted to lay over indefinitely. This decision had not pleased some of the preas. In the same sitting (the 31 st) a message from the President, approving of the conduct of the American charge d'affaires in Paris, was received, and submitted to a committee. The New York Herald is exceedingly indignant I because the senate in secret session on the 30th, com mitted to prison Mr. Nugent, one of its correspondents, for refusing to tell who furuiblied a copy of the Mexican treaty, &c., for publication in that paper. A grand demonstration was made on the 3rd, by sympathisers in the French republican government. The demonstration had been got up by the mayor of New York, Mr. Brady, and was on a large scale. Three stands were arranged along the principal ave nue, crossing the park in front of the city hall; the I centre, a very large one, being devoted to the Ameri can portion of the assemblage, over which Mr. Bredy presided; Cie right to the French, whose principal officer was M. Caylus ; and the left to the Germans. The excitement was so great, that, notwithstanding! the people were packed into a dense mass, there was a continual swaying back and forth, as if some un controllable impulse possessed them, and the cheers which the remarks of a speaker elicit ' ed were echoed I and repeated by those in front of the other stands. I Several times the bands played the 0 Marseillaise," I and each time the noble song wag shouted forth by hundreds of voices with an enercy and fire that gave a strange and intense excitement to the proceedings. An address to the patriots of Paris was adopted, and in the evening the city hall was illuminated along its entire front, and before the balcony was placed a piece of fire-works which displayed in letters of fire the words " Vive la Republique." A funeral cere mony in honour of those who had fallen in Paris had also taken place. M. Pageot, the French envoy, emediately resigned his post on hearing of the aggression. In Lemberg and the other cities great quiet pre vails; but letters from Czernowitz state that the whole of Moldavia is in commotion, and that every where there is a tendency to join the now liberated Austria. Two battalions of infantry had gone by the railway to Gratz, where the movement has assumed a formidable character —namely, that of a rising of the poor against the rich. Great excitement has been caused on the Vienna Bourse by the intelligence that the National Bank has resolved to give a loan of thirteen million florists to the finance administration, for which property of the state is to be mortgaged. The aspect of the com mercial world is gloomy. M. Anselm Von Roths child, son of Solomon Rothschild, has boa here several days, but neither his presence nor the negotiations which are continually going on between the Bank and the department of the finance have led to any satisfactory result. An income tax would stand the beet chance here. BAVARlA.—Musiles.—The King of Bavaria has written an autograph letter to the Minister of the Interior respecting the working classes, expressing his great concern at the present state of commerce, and his desire that immediate steps should be taken by the co-operation of all parties to effect the restora tion of trade and commerce, the renewal of con fidence, and the improvement of the working classes ; that althcugh this does not entirely depend upon the government, he nevertheless requests the government to take immediate steps to provide work for all who shall be inclined to work, by undertaking railways, waterworks, bridges, roads, public buildings, &c., so far as the public exchequer will admit. Lieut.-General Von der Mark, Minister of War, has been released from his poet, at his own request. BADEN.—The attempted revolution in favour of! a republic made by Struve and Hecker is a complete failure. The meeting at Donammrhingen did not answer to their expectations, and it was therefore adjourned. It was said that a meeting would be held at Stockach. FRANKFURT. —Our slates from Frankfort are to the 17th. At the sitting of the Germanic Diet on the 15th, on the communication being made that in the Baden portion of the Lake of Constance an in surrection threatened to break out, in consequence of an appeal that MM. Hecker and Struve had addressed to the people of the district, for them to assemble at Donauesschingen with ammunition and provisions for six days, in order to join themselves with the bands who are expected from France, and to obtain by force the pretended exigencies of the people, the Diet decreed, The governments of Heave-Cassel and of Nassau are, in con formity with the resolutions of the 29th of March, the 4th and 10th of April, to march immediately all their disposable troops to unite with the Bth corps of the federal army, and to notify without delay to the Diet the execution of the pre seat decree, as well as the nomination of the superior com manders of the troops. The committee of fifty on the 14th was occupied, with closed doors, with the disorders which had been provoked in the principal part of the grand duchy of Baden by MM. Hecker and Struve. A commis sion composed of MM. Soiron and Buhl repaired, by Heidelberg and Mannheim, to Carlsruhe, to insist on the maintenance of order. Another commission, com posed of MM. Venedney and Spatz, had left for Strasburg, in order to give better informs ion to the German workmen. revolution. Mr. Jacob Astor, the founder of Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia, and of whose infant colony Washington Irving has written such an interesting account, died at New York. He was buried on the let inst. Washington Irving is one of his executors. CALIFORNIA.—Dates from Chihuahua to the Ist of March state that the American force, which, in conjunction with the garrison at El Paso, was destined to operate upon the rest of the state, is composed of a thousand men, with six pieces of artillery, and corresponding ammunition. The balance of the invading force comprises 500 men, with six other pieces of artillery at Santa Fe, 200 troops of the line with eight pieces at Albuquerque, and 300 at Taos. Thus the whole expedition extends from the frontier of New Mexico to the town of El Paso—the entire force consisting of 2,500 men, with 22 pieces of artillery. The legislature met at Santa Fe on the 6th of December. Advices from that place hid been received to the 18th of February, which say that Gen. Price, at hot dates, was at El Penon, advancing upon Chihuahua with 1.500 men. CENTRAL AXERICA.—By the arrival of the brig Aiice Bendy, Capt. Dunbar, at New York, front Belize, Hon duras, we have advioes to the 17th of March. The revolu tion in Guatemala, which commenced in October last, was still spreading, and the rebels who had, on the 4th ef Feb ruary last, increased their active force to one thousand men, had gained some victories in the open held. A terrible state of again had been produced in consequence. In Jalapa, the coreggidor, Signor Figuerra, and eighty others, had been killed, and the road from Guatemala to Trebel was impass able..ended, a Labour on sugar plantations was almost entirely sus. and martial law was proclaimed. The rebels had defeated the government forces at Santa Croz, arid were about to MTGE on Salamanca, which hid been fortified. HOLLAND. —TAE HAGUE, APRIL It —yester day morning intelligence was received here that the Phrenix steamer, having on board the mortal remains of his late Roast Highness Prince Alexander of the Netherlands, had arrived at gellevoet Stoic, and would reach Rotterdam at noon this day. The funeral is to take place with great solemnity at Delft on Friday the 21st of April. The Nelerlandsche Stant C'onsant of the 17th publishes a royal decree, by which the Governor-General of the Dutch Indies is authorised to declare Port Men►do, in the isle of Celebes, • free port. The official journal also published the law of the 30th of March, which grants an augmentation of 2.704,0006. to the department of war for 1848. LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The anniver sary festival of this charity was celebrated yesterday at the London Tavern. The distinguishing feature of the society is that of extending relief in bread and coals to those who have been reduced to poverty and distress. Every subscriber is his own almoner, and is supplied with tickets for four pound loaves of bread and 56 lbs, of coals to the full amount of his subscription, and an additional number arising from the contributions of benevolent donors to the charity. Con tractors, who deliver the coals free of expense, are appointed by the society in all parts of the metropolis to facilitate the delivery of bread and coals throughout the extended field of its charitable operations, giving to its members the full be nefit of its cdlections, and insuring thereby the most effi cient means of widely and judiciously carrying into effect tne objects of the charity. It appears that the exertions of the society have been highly beneficial during the severities of the past winter. The company on the present occasioa included many influential gentlemen, Lord Dudley Coutte Stuart oc c upying a the chair. The usual loyal toasts having been dis of, the Chairman proposed " Prosperi.y to the Society, ' and the secretary then read a list of subscriptions, amounting in the whole to about 3201. CHARTIST CONVENTION.—The delegates met ugain yesterday morning, when it was moved that the proposed elections for members to the national assembly should be postponed for a week, on the ground that, as her Majesty's ministers would be out of town, the assembly would not be able to present their con t e mplated memorial to the Queen until their return, which was agreed to. Some disclosures were made as to the financial affairs of the convention, tend ing to show that deficiencies exist in other quarters, as well as governm ent budgets.—Mr. Harney wished to know whether there were any funds in hand to pa the expenses of the national assembly when they met ? — Mr. Clarke (who fills the o ffi ce of Chancellor of the Exchequer) stated that the expenses of the meeting of the forthcoming assembly would be about 3001. per week, and that at present there were no fonds whatever in hand, and he begged further to state that to wards paying the expenses of the present eonvention the executive had already drawn u pwards of 1001. from the resources of one gentleman.—Several of the delegates thought that these disclosures ought not to be made matters of public notoriety, but should have been brought forward in committee, and they suggested that the gentleman who had advanced the funds required for the expenses of the committee should be immediately repaid.—On one of the delegates declaring that all his expenses had been paid by those who sent him, and that any delegate who had not been so paid, had no right to take his seat, another delegate rose with virtuous and extreme indignation, saying, that havi heard the m, he would a onstrous expressions given utterance to by the ng fi a t speakert once and for ever leave the convention ; and rushed out of the hall. He was, however, hotly pursued by a portion of his colleagues, and with ap parent reluctance induced to return, when mutual enpoLlane tions haring taken placefor, harmony was restored.—The ues tion of ecl,',onrament the Easter holidays was agreed to.

W by stand we paltering with disaffection, and adding troop to troop, and battalion to battalion, in the garn sons of Ireland, in the midst of international peace ? Because the condition of the mass of the Irish people is deplorably and disgracefully wretched—because the ecclesiastical condition of the country is equally inde fensible and intolerable—and because the privileges and franchisee in common with Great Britain, which were guaranteed by the union, have to the present hour been fraudulently and faithlessly withheld. There is no longer any shadow of excuse in the attitude of parties in the legislature, for persisting in this infatuated course of =policy. Of the four dis tinct sections into which the lower house is now divided, two are long pledged to do what every right thinking man most feel that Ireland needs, and a third is, we firmly believe, no way leas disposed thereto. We allude to the disposition of Sir ROBERT PEEL and his compact band of able and accomplished adherents. Their breach with protectionism is irre mediable. To power, but one road henceforth lies open for them, and that road is in the opposite direction. Far from deeming it for their interest as a party aspiring to office to throw obstacles in the way of popular measures for Ireland, they would be much more likely, we are persuaded, to outbid the present ministers in concession. They tried the contrary when formerly in opposition, and bitterly repented it when subsequently in power. They would be mad men to make the same mistake again. Even of the Stanleyites we believe there are some who would shrink in times like the present from incurring any portion of the heavy responsibility that must attach to a further refusal of equal right and freedom to one third of the united kingdom. But with or without their assent, it is palpable that government could carry any reasonable measures of relief and reconciliation with Ireland that they might introduce ; and in truth and soberness we are bound to say if they nalle glect or refuse to do so when parliament re-assembles after the recess, they will commit a cruel injustice to the feelings of the people of this country, and inflict a fearful injury on the peace and welfare of Ireland.

PRUSSIA.—We have our usual files of German papers. Those of Berlin are of the 17th. The Prussian State Gazette of the 17th contains several cabinet orders respecting the seminary at Poppelsdorf, the loan for public works , the pro ceedings in political cases and offences com mitted by the press, the restoration of the Rhenish civil law in regard to marriages, the founding of loan banks, &c. From Stettin, under I date April 12, we learn that the reactionary party . there is beginning to take measures to effect the re turn of the Prince of Prussia. Although a petition I containing an invitation to the prince to take up his residence at Stettin as Statdholder at Pomerania is for the present kept back, yet an article in the Stettin Gazette expresses the desire that the Prince of Prussia should take a part in the approaching diecussions on the constitution. A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle of the 17th April, says: In consequence of the riots which took place yesterday, a proclamation has been issued, prohibiting the assembling of more than five persons, and de claring that it the military, the burgher guard, or tbe police, are attacked or disobeyed, recourse shall be, had to force of arms. Notwithstanding this pro clamation, several conflicts took place in the course of the day, but no official return has yet been made. At 10 o'clock in the evening the city was quiet. AUSTRIA.—Our dates from Vienna are of April 14. The Wiener Gazette of the 14th of April contains an official proclamation of the Emperor, stating that, on the petition of states of Lower Austria and by the =met of his ministers, his Majesty had determined to grant his faithful subjects the protection of the rights of property, as also the abolition of various taxes. The Gasette also contains the official report received by the Minister of War from the head quarters at Verona, dated April 9, giving an account of the entry of Lichtensten's brigade into Verona. The intelligence from Cracow says that the people demanded the dismissal of all the German officials. The fears of a Russian invasion were on the decline, the Russian General Ru di g er havin g affirmed that the military preparations on the frontier were directed to the defence of the kingdom of Poland against any the whigs heading the pespie, and feeding them with m of ries, of Woad standing panic at the sebirommt d liberty ahead, and at the idle mimicking ci seveintien by agitators here. Let as, however, net esmismn prematurely. The events of France, and the shag of Ireland, joined to an exaggerated fear of dfslerbanee and conspiracy here, have for &moment frightened ministersfrom self possession. lard J. Resent., in his speech, last night, alluded to concessions to Ireland, to be dimmed after Easter. Let us hope,.that England, though tranquil, is not less worthy of similar attention, and that in the move about to be made for the extension of the fran chise and the completion of the reform bill, we shall not find a Russell Cabinet arrayed spinet it. 1 There is, indeed, a danger to thiseountry, far greater than anybody or than any vision of chartists or of communists could menace or devise. And that would be the sight of the three aristocratic parties in the House of Commons—the protectionists, the practical tories under Pm, and the whigs—all uniting to present a hostile front to the Mends of popular liberty, and holding up conjointly o ther atal banner of " finaliextendedty," in opposition to that f pgress and more 1 1 rig ts. The prevalence and the triumph of such a coalition as that in parliament might indeed smooth over the difficulties of the session. But the re-action which it I wo uld cause in the country would be fearful, nay. I dangerous. And the re-action we mean would come, not from the lower but the mid dle classes. We de trust, therefore, that ministers will take advantage of the recess, and make up their minds to come forward after it with concessions to English as well as to Irish exigencies, and thus wipe away the disgrace of a liberal ministry in England being absorbed with police and repression, when every . other country is making large strides to pass us in the career of popular freedom. Nor is it so much a desire of the advantages which sliest follow from the development of this freedom, es a sense of the danger of refusing and resisting them, that weighs with us. S ICsk of government is this country is difficult. has an enormous amount of expenditure to meet, from resources not of the most prosperous or full ; and the burdens have been laid on most awkwardly, in the way which is moat felt and most galling. Government seems afraid to fling itself on the country for advice and help in a radical re -arrangement. Yet, without this, govern ment must remain in a deplorable state of weakness, fettered in every movement, and terrified by every stir in domestic or in foreign affairs. In such a state of things at home, combined with events abroad, never did a British government stand more in need, in imperative need, of satisfying and rallying to it all classes of the population. It will not do to disoontent, or alienate, or distress any. A tory minister, who would repeat Fire's tricks, appeal to panic first, and then proceed to the next necessary consequence of panic, vi e., war—a minister w ho would attempt this , would bring destruction on his own head and revolution on the country. The present storm is to be weathered by a very different kind of pilot from him, who saved us at the expense of eight hundred millions of debt. It will be idle to continue appealing to people's fearsf o revolution, if it be apparent that in avoiding revolu tion the country is to fall back under the des potic, unegaal, and prodigal yoke of our aristo cracy. It is in the power of the present ministry to rally all classes round them by measures of liberalism and confidence. If, on the contrary, they shrink into mere prefects of police, people will be prompt to com pare the narrowness of our government and legislature with other governments and legislatures. Our best security lies in h a ving always the advantage in such a comparison. -----_----- 27th.

WRECK OF THE NABOB, EAST INDIANAN, OPP JERSEY. — The East Indianian, which we, in our paper of the 18th inst., announced to have been totally lost on the Baehr , ' Rocks, off Jersey, has been amertained to be the Nabob, of Liverpool, bound from Calcutta to London. From the statements furnished by the captain and survivors, it would appear that this catastrophe might have been averted, had the light, so frequently s gested, been e ed rect on the western seaboard of q the islan ug d. The Nabob was a sound, well-conditioned vessel, barque rigged, between GOO and 700 tons burden. About lour months ago she left Calcutta for England, with a miscellaneous cargo of East Indian produce. On her nearing the English Channel a succession of gales was encountered. Whether tue ship's compass was true or not, or whether or rot • correct reckoning of her coerse had Men kept up, wo are unable to state, but when the crew considered that they were running along the English coast they were actually running on to that of France, and into the greatest peril. They had not seen the land on either side of the Channel, and therefore had not made any obser vation. Between one and two o'clock on Friday morning the Nabob struck on the cluster of reefs called the Ecrehas rocks, distant a few miles from the north-east point of Jersey, and her speedy destruction ensued. Her crew, in cluding the master, comprised 21 in number ; it is understood that she had no pas4engers. Fruitless attempts were made to back her off, and to a short time the command was given to launch the boats. To the last moment the master remained by the wreck, having previously secured the ship's papers, so to seize upon any favourable opportunity to preserve the unfortunate vessel, should any occur. The wreck was at length abandoned. There were three boats lowered from the ship, and what with the tempestuous state of the weather and the anxiety of the men to escape, two ef the boats capslsed, and eighteen of the men were cast into the water. The captain, with two boys and a sea man, were in the third boat, the least, and he made every effort to save the drowning sailors. Altogether he picked up out of the water and from pieces of the wreck which they bad clung to, seven. The survivors, in a very exhausted state, were knocking about for several hou rs land rs, and a t daybreak they suc ceeded in gaining t at St. Catherine's Bay. The authorities rendered ,hem every neeesaary usistance. It is considered that the Nabob must have passed within a few miles of Torteval point, and be tween Sark and the " Paternosters," to have reached the spot at which she was wrecked. A light on the western end of Guernsey might have been seen above the horizon for between twenty and thirty miles. Up to thetes latest 'owns* none of the bodies have been recovered. It is stated that the lots of the ship sad cargo will fall little abort of 80,0,101. 1 I 1 ti i 11 1 'l, 1 1 41 .. i i !: . 1 . I 11 , 0 ,, 1 1 1 . til . i i 1 , • 4 . Il 'r• ! I • Y t
