For several days the attre,upcm,nts and processions, with drums, banners, trr.es decorated with ribbons, and the bellowing of P.m " Marseillaise," have ren dered the public thoroughfares almost impassable for people of bu.siness, and utterly intolerable to people of leisure. In short, these public demon strations have become, in the most literal sense of the term, a public nuisance. This state of things has extorted from the government the following procla mation, which appears in the journals of this morning : Citizens,—We have accomplished the greatest and purest of revolutions. We have established the principle of the sovereignty of the people, and for the past month have given to the world a striking example of its application. For the last month France has governed itself without the employ ment of any military force, and by the sole moral authority of the people. Paris, with her million of inhabitants, has never offered more personal security. In a Nw days the Provisional Government, sprung from the acclamations of the people, will restore to the hands of the people's representatives the unalloyed trust of the save reigntrof the people. Citizens—These latter days must be like the first, and the FroviUonal Government is authorised to say it so wills it. The National Assembly must had the republic as free from all appearance of disorder as it rose from its cradle on the immortal day on which it had birth on the barricades. Beware, citizens, that too enthusiastic a show of patriotism does not become a cause of alarm and trouble in this city, the seat of the Republic. In a city so remarkable for the calm and dignity of its people—the disturbances in the streets, which put a atop to business—the firing of musketry, which alarms the peaceable, cannot be tolerated or understood. Let the Republican ceremonies, so magnificent in their sim plicity, be conducted by the public authorities; consult them, and they will arrange vour patriotic manifestation,. Do not allow anything, citizens, which may give even a pretext to the enemies, either domestic or foreign, of our republic ; anything which can sully the halo of its purity ani glory ; anything which can arrest the movement of European emancipation, of which we have given the signal. Assist the government in the maintenance of order in the city. Let every one return quietly to:ltis work ; adopt your accustomed mode of life—happy and proud in being republi eans, we shall pass in peace the days, every hour becoming lam troubled, which separate us from the time when our re presente,ves shall meet. Citizens, the l'rovisional Government which is your work, which you support with so much devotion, appeals to your wisdom, to your patriotism ; unite yourselves with it to consolidate the republic. Yesterday afternoon the members of the Provi sional Government held a council at the Ministry of War, in conjunction 'with the Council of Public Defence. The session continued until a late hour in the evening. It is stated that important resolutions were adopted respecting the movement of troops, and that purchases were ordered of 28,114t0 horses with field equipages. The [Won says The Council of Defence is at present occupied with the task of establishing, on a vast scale, a prompt and easy mode of military organisation for the corps of Volunteers and of the Guard Mobile, which the political events of Europe may, from one day to another, cause to be called to arms on the different points of the French territory." 1 The following is taken from the Frew :—" Three military camps, connected together, and consisting of a disposable force of nearly 100,000 men, will cer tainly be established at Dijon. Lyons, and Grenoble. In the event of a war, and in case of an advance on the kingdom of Sardinia, the head-quarters of the French army will be fixed at Lyons, in order to direct from that point the first military operations." Anassembly of several hundred persons again made a menacing demonstration at the bureaux of La Pre , se in the Rue Montmartre yesterday, as I an nounced to you. Violence was feared during the night, but owing to the interference and remon• shams of the editors of the more republican journals, and that of the authorities of the govern ment, the crowd was induced to d;hperse without any violation of the peace or destruction of pro perty. An address is posted through Paris this morning, signed by the editors of the National and other journals favourable to the government, appeal ing to the good sense of the people in favour of per fect freedom of discussion. We are enabled to affirm, that M. Ledru Rollin went in person to the bureaux of La Preset, and made the most efficient exertions to put down the tumult. 11;21fonileur of this morning says that the band of operatives who had made this menacing manifestation at the bureaux of La rr,ss, , ,, in returning from the Rue Montmartre went to the ministry of foreign atrairs. The young operatives who b.d it were re ceived by the minister. They said they felt a lively irritation in seeing La Presse attack the Provisional Government. and compare M. Ledru ltollin to M. lluchatel, and M. lie Lamartine to M. Guizot ; that they wished to make a manifestation against this journal, but that they did not intend to break the presses or injure the persons em ployed. M. lle Lamartine said he thanked them for their sentiments, but he condemned their acts, and he conjured them to renounce all acts of violence against the journals which did not agree with them in opinion; that if the opinion of every one was free under the monarchy, it ought to be in violable under the republic ; that the !government only responded to attacks by . its acts, and in guarding the country from its enemies without, and disorder within; thit it would be judged better by its works, and not by the unjust statements of any party ; that it would only be giving a sanction to the charges against it by resorting to the least moral violence against the liberty of speech, or the liberty of the press; and that the republic even admitted the liberty of being unjust to its government. The news from the deparanents are not favourable this morning. The same disorders prevail at Lyons, Roam, St. Etien ne , T ro y es , an d M arse ill es , at all of which places the operatives, encouraged doubtless by the example of Parts, have turned out for increased wages and diminished hours. Two of the journals of Marseilles, the Semaphore and the Courier, are sus- Pfided from this cause. The Provisional Government has issued a decree, dated the 2sth, for the naturalisation of foreigr.ers who are desirous of becoming French citizens, and who shaa have been five years resident. tin the Ist July, 1845, at a period in which the ylestion °tiered to most persons no other interest than a , a matter of curiosity, it was shown by official nocaments. drawn up from the accounts and returns 91 the different mints, that in France the fabrication to gold pieces. according to the decimal system amounted ,- to 1,16"; 441,720 fr., and in silver pieces to r• 1.

The Infanta had not arrived at San Sebastian on the 25th. Preparations had been made along the road to Madrid. The Queen's journey to Aranjuez was fixed for the 12th. The Spanibh governor at Melilla on the 16th made an attack on the Moors at San Lorenzo, in w'oieh the Moors had 30 killed and 200 wounded. The, S pan i ar d s lost but one man. _ - - The (leas from Barcelona reprr . seats the state of c':Analerce in tha di t city as extn ely embarassed, and the distress existing amon the working classes as very great. The bank htv! suspended its discounts, but on an application of the Junta of Commerce had resumed them on thp. following conditions : I. It will discount on Mondays and Tuesdays. 2. It will chan' d e notes every day, but fixes 100 dollars as the maximum o: metal to be paid in any ono day to any one person. There was no Bolsa on the 26th. ilte following extracts from the Italian journals confirm the announcements we have already made of the movements of the troops of the adjacent states into Lombardy. The Ntrii of Florence of the 22nd says: Upwards '.if SOO volunteers have set out by the Spada The Ferret*, e. a'..companied by the acclamations of the people. B en the . civic .al of the regular troop*, the of fi cer in command of guard, the Minister of the Intetior and the (loofa lomer, were present on the occasion. Two companies of fs„ 141 " ors have taken their departure, ea well as half a batters' ' Persons who have arrived from Mantua state th at the retreat of the Austrians from Milan was determined q the arrival of a body of Swiss from Como, bringing with them a newly invented projectile of extraordinary power. A Turin letter says : " The Croatians committed great atrocities during the struggle at Milan. Wherever they pe netrated they put old men, women, and children to the sword. Many Italian soldiers were found shut up in the prisons of the ca-tle at Milan; others were shot by Itacletzky's order shortly before he evacuated the citadel." Front the I'i,rbataite3e Gazette of the '26th, we learn that the Viceroy of Lombardy, fax from having been arrested at Brescia, as had been rumoured, arrived at Verona on the 18th, where he conceded the organisation of a civic guard. The Jesuits of that city abandoned their convent on the same day. A column of papal troops and volunteers, under the command of Count Sivio Zambeecari, entered Modena on 21st, immediately after the duke had published a proclamation, announcing his intention of leaving his states, and naming a regency, with Councillor Scoria for a President. The re , volution of the whole province of Lunigiana and Pontremoli, , besides Massa, Carrara, Lavenza, and other places of the environs, is completed. Processor Matteueci is treating , with the insurgents in the interest of the Tuscan govern. ment. The Duke of Modena, it is said, has tied in the di ' receion of l'isa. The l'ope has ordered tricoloured tavern • to be henceforth appended to the Papal Hag, which is white and yellow. The following circumstances are related in some . of the reports of the proceedings of the Austrians at Milan before evacuating the citadel. It is to be hoped that these statements are highly exaggerated, : otherwise the perpetrators of such acts would merit ' the execration of the civilised world : The Italian prisonen have been treated with a barbarity without es.imple. We stated some facts yesterday ; to day we bare further information. One man was thrown into burning lime, two others were burnt with aqua fortis; the proprietor of a eafi*, in the square of the castle was nailed to his door , in short, bodies have been found so horribly mutilated, that they did not preserve the appearance of human twinos. Itailetsky no doubt hoped by these cruel barbarities to strike tenor into the Milanese, but he has only added to their patriotic ardour. I announced to you yes!erday that Venice had de clared itself a republic. This fact is given in the Paris journals of this morning. Advices have arrived from Lemberg (Galicia) of the date of the 22nd, which announce that a great popular demonstration took place there on the lath. The people demanded a constitution, the liberty of the press, a general amnesty, the national guard, the adoption of the Polish language, and that the Em peror of Austria should take the title of King of Poland. Count Stadion undertook to transmit these demands to the Emperor. Meanwhile 130 prisoners were liberated, the cen sorship of the press suspended, and the national guard, with the l'olish cockade, formed and armed. The city was illuminated, and great rejoicings ensued. On the 22nd a courier from Vienna brought the reply of the Emperor. Two hours after the stndents, the pupils of the School of Arts and Manufactures, followed by an immense crowd, went to the governor's palace. The Count Stadion read from the balcony the answer of the Emperor, which is in substance as follows : 1. Arms shall be distributed to the people on condition that they shall only use them againet the enemies of the Emperorcountryry to he proclaimed " King of Poland." 3. Political and civil equality to be decreed: the Oermans and Jews to be considered as natives. . LATEST P.S. The Tuscan troops have occupied Massadi Carrara. It is reported that the Prince of Savoy had arrived at Costeggio with his 15,000 regulars and 7,0(X) volun teers. General Souriaz was, it was said, master of Pavia. Adviees from Pomerania of the 27th March state that an appeal had been made in that province to the people to invite them to protest against the revolution. A meeting of delegates was propesed for the 17th April at Stettin. The IVesvr Zeitung asserts that the King of Prussia has surrendered the province of Posen to the Polish patriots without reserve. That part of Poland is, consequently, tree. The same journal adds that the King has resolved to send 100,000 men to the frontiers, in order to act, if necessary, against Russia. We have intelligence from ltendsburg up to the 26th. The Sleswick Dragoons and other troops have gone over to the people, and assumed the old German colours. The Provisional Government, which was formed at Kiel, has taken up its permanent abode at Itendsburg, whence it issues its decrees. It has already granted liberty of the press, liberty to hold public meetings, and authorisation for the people to arm themselves. LATEST FROM PARIS AND ITALY. PARIS, FRIDAY, 5 r. Y. Several failures were announced to-day, including, it is said, the banking house of Messrs. Paccard, l )u -four, and Company, principally connected with Switzerland. The report, already alluded to, of the intention of the Provisional Government to borrow fifty millions of francs, from the Bank of France, has been con firmed to day. The Provisional G. ling to the army : Citizen soldiers, gnu owe en additional title te the re. r s t . b r l e ic e . o6 lou to w y e e re s onlyyo part sold soldiers—it has v h e u rei made ant o y f o tTie ci pe . op i le ' But in conferring this additional title on you , ' the republic . imposes on you an additional. duty. You had only to dis charge the duties of the soldier—you have now those of the citizen. You had only one law—discipline. You have now two—discipline and the love of order. Discipline and order have been disturbed in some regitne2ts. The Provisional Government of the republic immediately turned Its attention to such events. It is determined to repress them with the justice and inflexibility of a republican government; but before acting, it desires to warn. You will respect its voice. Look at the people' Admire this voluntary order which 12 es I isettblished and maintains itself by the Lingle discipline of the general reason. What, can it be you, who ought to be the animated type of order in the country—you who caa give to this admirable people the host and only examples of disorder No. You will respect and cause to be respected the religion of the Hag. If it were otherwise, we should take mea sure. which would affect us, but which would energetically re establish discipline. lireat duties are reserved to you. Keep the army intact and strong for the eventualities of the country. We are about to increase your ranks ; there will be place and glory for all patriotism. We shall shortly as semble deputations of the army around the national centre at Perin, to fraternise with the people and the national guard. Let no shade of disorder stain the flags which we are about to distribute to you! Let your brethren of Paris receive you as tho model of the French army. After having written in all times the word glory on your flags, inscribe thereon. with your own bands, the word discipins., the re publican virtue of the soldier." The Conrrier de' Lyon, of the 29th, says:—" This morning, a troop of 300 German workmen, bearing a banner, on which was inscribed, ' Adieu to our bro thers in France! Vivo la republique! Vivo ' riled off from the Place des Terreaux. It was a first detachment of Germane going off to their country, in compliance with the wish expressed by the authorities. The men from Savoy are about to follow." The Irish deputation will not be received, it is stated, before Monday next. It is thought that the answer of the Provisional Government will not be a bit more satisfactory than that given to the Polish refugees. A has is sued the follow. Alt 497.] LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL. 1 ~ 1848. [THREEPENCE. t Yesterday, the second and third battalions of the German Democratic Legiou, about 4,000 strong, left Paris for Germany. They Were accompanied as far as Vincennes by nearly 20,00(1 Parisians. The Prince de la Moscowa, M.

The 'commandant, Mar tinovich, has been killed. Count %icily is detained as a hostage. A provisional government has been formed. A letter from Trieste, of the 2:lrd, in the A ugsfotry Qazette, says : " We learn that Ver.ice has separated herself from Austria, and formed a provisional govern ment. All soldiers and persons employed by the Austrian government arc at liberty to take their de parture for Trieste. Count Ziehy answers with his head for the maintenance of the conditions laid down by the provisional government. The arsenal and the fortress are in the hands of the Venetians. 'fee Lombardo-Venetian banner displays a lion and snake. At Venice the revolution was effected with out loss of blood. _ . The Provisional ( imernment of Milan has pub lished an important document, dated the 25th, stating that no political engagement of any nature has been taken with respect to the King of Sardinia ; and that the latter has expressed himself as follows to the Milanese delegates " I shall not enter Milan till I have vanquished the Austrians in battle, for I will nut present myself to so bravo a people till 1 have obtained a victory that may prove me equally brave." A letter from Turin, of the 27th, " states that the Duke of Genoa left on the morning of the 28th, at the head of the Artillery Corps, fur Milan. The King and the I )uke of Savoy departed in the evening of the the same day for Piacenza. Before his departure, Charles Albert received a sword, presented to him by the Pope, bearing the following inscription: " T, the maynaninteas Kitty Charles Albert, the mood which will make Italy . free.—Pins /X." At this moment intelligence has arrived that the Sardinian troops had engaged a strong body of Austrians near Milan, probably at Mclegnano, and defeated them, continuing the pursuit with much slaughter. Our Naples correspondent does not confirm the intelligence, received by way of l'aris, announcing that the King of Naples had abandoned the sovereigay of Sicily. Writing on the 2.ith, he says: Near post time.—The report pains ground' that the king is shout to form a blockade of the island of Sicily. A camp of 16,000 men, SASS rumour, is to be formed at San Giovanni, near Reggio, to interrupt all tomroonications between the mainland and Sicily. Palermo 'is also to he surrounded on the land side, and blockloleil. Many of the nobility are, it 'is s iid, inclined to concede, and regret the present state of things ; an that, between want of finances, want of provisions, disucinr•., and pressure from without, it is probable that Sicily will be compelled to yield. Under what disadvantages will she be again reunited to Naples! The fact that very vessel in the king's navy has either left the port, or is preparing to do so, gives color to the report. Nine steam and sailing vessels together left yesterday. We are either on the eve of another revolution, or of the sub mission of Sicily. Six steamers and four sailing vessels, I ' have been told, is the correct number of vessels which has sailed for Se ily. They have taken a considerable quantity of ammunition with them. Considerable inconvenience is said to be created in Palermo by the pees nee of countrymen who refuse to leave. BELGIUM. FIGHT BETWEEN FRENCH AND BELGIAN TROOPS. RIGNONS-TOUT, 30.—The band which calls itself the " Belgian Legion" entered Belgium yesterday by Mignons-Tout, a village situated be tween Mouscron and Menus. The vanguard of Gen. Fleury Duray met them. It was composed of 200 men of the •ith infantry, 2 pieces of cannon, and 25 cavalry, and the 2nd regiment of mounted Chaaseurs. As soon as the legion (2,0(M) strong) observed this small corps, it pressed forward, colours flying, and beating a charge. For a few moments their fire was brisk and well sustained, and as long as they had only the fire of our men to sustain they stood firm; but Gen. Fleury Duray having brought two pieces of cannon into play, they immediately slackened fire, and fled in all directions, throwing down their arms. Several prisoners were taken, and, among them, their leader, a Parisian. The invading legion has lost many men ; it is said, 400 killed and wounded. On our side was one killed and five or six wounded. Our troops displayed admirable calmness and courage. As soon as the main column of our troops arrived the L defeat was complete. A band, which had penetrated to the right of General Fleury-Duray, was dispersed, I and fled in disorder to the French territories. Our troops have again taken up their position and bivouacked upon the frontiers, ready to repel every new aggression. Our troops were animated with patriotic ardour, and fought amidst cries of " Fire le Rol!" Several of our military greatly distinguished themselves. A young corporal of the line especially is mentioned, who succeeded in taking a standard; almost at the same moment he was struck by a ball, which wounded him fatally. A letter from Tourney, of the 20th of March, says: " Our city has been in consternation since this morn ing. At six o'clock we heard the roar of cannon in the environs of Moascrow, and our troops immediately left to reinforce those which marched last Sunday to that town. The brigands are said to be 0,000 in number, and well armed. We have sent off a special train to Moascrow for the purpose of bringing back our wounded military. L'Emaneipatee says that the ('aisse d'E-icompte did not commence its operations cesterday, as the 11Aniteur announces—that these delays are vexatious, and prove that there is not a true sense of the suffer ings which Brussels experiences at the present crisis. His Majesty has been pleased to command the re storation of the palace at Antwerp, and that as many workmen as possible shall be employed thereon. I Several other public works arc also to be commenced immediately, among which is the quay of St. Michel. Military preparations continue to be made in every place. \"e read in the Palm. :—" A sanguinary conflict took place on Wednesday morning, near Moucron, on the Belgian frontier, between the troops of King Leo pold and several hundred of their fellow-countrymen, who made an attempt to penetrate into the Belgian territory with arms in their hands. The following is an account given of the affair by an eye-witness : " Leaving Paris on Saturday test by the Northern ' Railroad, we attempted to enter Belgium at flutes rain. Repelled from this point, we wane taken back to the environs of Lille, and quartered in the town of &clin. two leagues from Lille, where we remained from Sunday till Tuesday evening, when we marched ma trogs , abd, Yining the fortifications of Lille. joined en the road to Ghent. 'When about aleagie and a half from Lille we found two waggms loaded with muskets, ammunition, and bread. Of these mus kets 1,6(R) were distributed, and e very man received se veral packets of cartridges. Thus armed and supplied, we crossed the country, and, passieg the bridge near Turcoing, marched in column towards a village half French half Belgian. situated ,an the -_:xtreme frontier, and half a league from Moucron. We wore advancing rare as bras, when we suddenly perceived a batta lion of the Ist regiment of Belgian char Burs, flanked by a squadron of cavalry, and supported at a short dis tance by other detachments of infantry. The videttes, in malung signs to us not to approachXred three mus ket shots ; one of our men fell ; no person on our side returned the fire; then commenced a platoon fire; the chasseurs next opened their ranks. and two pieces of cannon, loaded with grape shot, opened upon us and destroyed some of our men ; several others then threw down their arms and fled; others laid themselves down fiat on the ground. Two or three hundred volunteers alone returned the fire of the soldiers, availing them selves of the houses or the natural obstacles of ground. In the contest the Belgian troops twice; crossed the frontier, and most of the men whom we lost were shot 0•, 4 F renc h t err it o ry. We had a dozen killed, abo":, forty wounded, and lost three prisoners. The 10 , 4 of the troops is not known. The mayor of Aloocron and several French priests interposed to put an end to the tiring ; these ecclesiastics were profuse in their attention to the wounded. The Bel gian volunteers, on their return nom their unfor tunate expedition, were disarmed there." ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. . . . .

Bart., M.l'.; Mr. Almack, Mr. Brandrah, Mr. Cherry, Mr. Cottam, Mr. G. Dyer, Mr.Brandeth Gibbs, Mr. B. K. Rail, Rev. C. E. Keene, Mr. Kinder, Mr. Ma jendic, Mr. Parkins, Prof. Sewell, Mr. Smith, of Burley, Mr. R. Sully, Mr. Stanfield, M.P., Mr. T. Turner, Mr. Tweed, Prof. Way, and Mr. Bullock Webster. The following new members were elected: Wm. Poulton, head-master of the Norwich Diocesan School; James Kitties, Beck Farm, Beaulieu, Southampton ; Dr. W. F. I Chambers, Broek-street, London; William Pippet, Down side College, Bath ; William Sherrill, Treworgan, Mon mouth; William Layton Lowndes, Ilinfield, Berkshire; Dr. John Bright, Manc hester-square, London. The names of eleven candidates for election at the next meeting were then read. I)IIII3I.ING.—Mr. Cottam, of 76, Oxford -street, favoured the council with an impection of Mr. Nichols's hand-dib bling machine, and explained in detail the neeehaniaal pein ciples of its construction and the peculiar advantages of its simple but most efficient mode of action, for which the conned voted to Mr. Cottam their best thanks.—Mr. Smith, of Burley, stated that he was well acquainted with Mr. Nichols and the dibblingmachine of his invention then sub mitted to the council by Mr. Cottam. It had been eaten , sively employed in the county of Rutland, and he could bear the strongest testimony, from his own experience and that of his neighbours, to its practical excellence. Its pecu liar advantages were derived from the double action, by which the seed was deposited and covered in with pressure at the same time ; and it was adapted with equal facility to dibble seed of any size, from the largest seed ever used in dibbling down to the smallest turnip seed, MISCELLANIOVS COMMUNICATIONS. From Sir John Lubbuck, Bart.. a report of experiments in progress on the growth of wheat and the comparative effects of artificial manure ; from Colonel Le Couleur, high sheriff of Jersey, a report on a nine years' trial of a variety of Wheat from Chili ; from Prof. Way, a report from Mr. Lewes that he had not found the precipitated sulphate of lime obtained in the manufacture of tartaric acid (though in a highly , comminuted state, to be purchased at a cheap rate and in great abundance), of sufficient value as a totedresring to be recommended for the use of farmers; from Mr. Bullock Webster, a statement on the advantages of employing the waste water on estates in hilly countries to the purposes of a motive power, by having it conveyed in pipes to turn a water wheel, working an exhamting pump, and connected with a small oscillating engine ; from Mr. ►inder, a request on the part of Mr. Lewes to be allowed to explain at a future meeting the experiments on Seed• Wheat, and the effect of different manures, in which he had been so long engaged; from Mr. Smith, a report on l'leuro pneumonia; and Irvin Mr. Waver, a copy of the report of the Newcastle Fanners' Club,coataining the following communication from Prof. Dumas, the celebrat ed French chemist, on the result of his own inquiries and those of his colleague, M. Milne Edwards, on the use of salt in agri cohere " I quit England with the coaviction that the problem of the employment of salt in agriculture is chimerical. We have been sent from county to county without result. Here they send us into the neighbour hood of the salt mines ; when we were there, we were told that salt was not a prophet in its own country. 1 am convinced that the most desirable mode of preparing a good manure is by employing the phosphates, and ammoniscal salts, rather than sea-salt, however cheap the latter."—Prof. Way, being present, begged to express his dissent from the general conclusion thus arrived at, even by Prof. Dumas, for whose high character, however, and stand ing in the chemical world, he entertained the sincerest re spect. Thanks were ordered for these communicrtions, and the f council adjourned to Wednesday next. TILE LATE RIOTS.-THE KENT ROAD ASSOCIATION. A public meeting was held last night, at the Swan Tavern, in the Old Kent-road, for the formation of an asso ciation to give protection to the district against the depreda tions of lawless mobs. . . . . • Mr. PtilLLlStottE said he would read to them a resolution which he meant to propose for their adoption. The resolu tion was at follows :—lhat, experience havieg;proved to us the necessity there is, at times like the present, to aid mist assist each other from the tumultuous proceedings of lawless mobs, principally composed of thieves and plunderers, whose only object is spoliation of property, and who gene rally congregate at every public meeting : Resolved, That the inhabitants who have signed the requisition do hereby form themselves into a society, to be called the Kent-road Mutual Protection Association ; that a captain and lieute nants be appointed, and that every man provide himself with a band to be worn on the right erm, and a truncheon ; and also hold himself ready to act when called on. The meeting would understand that their association was solely for the protection of the Kent-road, and to defend themselves against lawless and plundering mobs, such as the district had been exposed to during the late riots. The magistrates had approved of their asso ciation, as being the most constitutional species of force that could he established, and he bad no doubt it would be most useful in preserving the peace. The resolution was seconded by Mr. lloncinon, and unanimously agreed to. The chairman (Mr. Martin) was elected captain of the association, aid Mr. Filmer was appointed to act as de puty-lieutenant ; and, ten lieutenants having been elected, thanks were given to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated.

DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOIION.—A most awfu catastrophe took place near Neath, on Wednesday last. at the k.....kya colliery, by which no lees than nineteen men have lost their lives, while seven others have been so dreadfully burnt by the explosion of foul ►ir, that considerable doubt exists as to their recovery. As nearly all the men employed in that portion of the works where the explosion occurred have perished, it is exceedingly difficult to ascertain the pre cise cause of the accident. It is said that the state of the colliery in question has long been the subject of complaint, and that dining the last four years explosions on a small Kale have from time to time taken place, in one of which, about five weeks since, one man met his death. . THE ATELEY FARMERS' CLUB, at their last meet lag. discussed the subject of the best method of draining lead. The question was introduced by a member whose recent practice on a farm abounding with springs rendered bin. quite competent to speak on the subject, and entitled his opinion to the fullest consideration. After alluding to the beneficial effects produced on the atmosphere by raising its temperature (sometimes as much even as ten degrees), and thenhy rendering it more salubrious, he proceeded to recapitulate the various advantages resulting to the owner and occupier of the soil by thorough drainage, such as the immense increase in its productiveness, earlier maturity of its crops, the additional comfort to animals fed upon it, their consequent increased propensity to fatten, and many other important results. He then adverted to the effectual im provement obserluble in the soil after being drained to the depth of five feet, the subsoil being composed principally of seal and gravel, the drains being a considerable distance apar., and filled' up with pipes, two inches in diameter, and small stones picked off the land—these he preferred to any other materials for such a purpose. Other gentlemen fur -1 niched satisfactory evidecce of the truth of such observations; and the opinion prevailed that itch, wherever practicable, and when judiciously carried out, would be the most effectual and at the same time the most economical system to be pursued. It was also universally admitted that draining should be at all times followed by sub soil ploughing, as affording • more ready percolation to rain water, by which the fertilising properties of the manure in the sod would be more effectually held in solution and conveyed to the roots of the growing crop. The follow ing resolution was adopted:—" That the ben: system of draining land is by pipes and stones ; that no fixed rule can he followed as to the depth, which must in a great mean,* depend on the situation of the land and its various soils and subsoils, but, when practicable, deep draining is preferable, and is best adapted to the soils in this neigh urhised,;the subsoil being in most instances of a pervious nature." MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—We have advioes this morning from Cologne, of the suspension, or failure, as the case may be, of Abraham Schaaf hausen, one of the chief banking houses, if not the chief of all, of that important city. We have also intelligence of the stoppage of the respectable banking house of Lombard, Odier, and Co., of Geneva, which is understood to be connected by relationship with a highly reputed banking concern under the same name in Paris. These financial disasters are cal culated to create deep anxiety in the commercial world. The former will probably have been hastened by the fact, if it be truly stated in the Gazelle de Cologne of the 28th ultimo, of the Royal Bank of Prussia at Berlin, or its branch at Cologne, if there be one, which does not clearly appear, having received orders to suspend its discount operations. This state bank, it is said, was the great resource of the Cologne bankers for advances and re-discounts. The report in the Daily News this morning, under its Paris head, that the Provisional Government had applied 'o the Bank of France for a loan of fifty mil lions of francs (two millions sterling), without interest for several months, which it is said was granted by the Bank, can scarcely fail to compromise still more the position of that establishment, if it is to be paid in specie, for, according to its last balance sheet, of the 22nd ult., the total amount of specie in its possession (about fifty-eight millions of francs), little exceeded the sum required. If the fifty millions on the contrary is to be advanced in paper money, such an addition to the mass in circula tion will only end in its greater depreciation. To be of real assistance to the government, it is clear the loan should be in specie. Our stock market is heavy, but with little doing, the fine weather having tempted many of the dealers into the country, or to the sea-side. ••- Consols have been all the morning at 81 to 1, for money and account.

Hutt, March 31.—The Wheat trade has been heavy, and prices must be quoted Is. per qr. lower. Oats, Beans, and Peas are also very slow of sale, at rather lower rates. Barley is sought after, and Is. per qr. dearer. There is a little de mand tor fine large sowing Tares ; but small inferior ones are quite neglected. Rye Meal moves off in small quantities, although at barely supported rates. The late rains have been succeeded by fine warm weather. Of Linseed, the only arrival since our last consists of 40 qrs. from Memel. Sales are confined to small parcels for imme diate use, and Black Sea has commanded 465. per qr.: but parcels of Baltic Seed, from warehouse, consisting of mid dling and inferior qualities, have been sold at la. per qr. less money.

LINCOLN, March 31.—Our market was but moderately supplied with Wheat to-day, which was taken off slowly, at a decline of 2s. to 3s. from last week's prices, Very little Barley offering, which met buyers at last week's rates. Beans and Oats a dull trade. Red Wheat, 465. to 500. ; white, 50s. to 545.; Barley, 30s. to 361.; Oats, 16s. to 23a.; Beans, 365. to 430. LIVERPOOL, March 31.—From the close of Tuesday's market to the present date, nothing has occurred to improve the general features of the corn trade here ; business in all its bearings during that period haying remained extremely quiet, with a slight tendency in the value of most articles to lean downwards. A few parcels of Wheat and Flour from Ireland, with a very scanty supply of other produce, thence as well as coastwise, and a moderate quantity of Indian Corn from abroad, compose the only arrivals worth naming into this port since Monday last ; yet, small u our importations are at present, they appear quite sufficient to answer the limited wants of our local consumption, to which the demand is still principally confined ; the millers and dealer in the interior continuing to buy from the growers nearer I home, on terms somewhat under the current rates here. Throughout the whole course of our market this morning, the trade, with one or two exceptions, was dull in the ex treme, accompanied by an almost general decline in prices. Wheat of all descriptions was offered freely, at a redaction of Id. to 2d. per 701 b. from Tuesday's quotations, at which the sales were very unimportant, and confined to needy buyers alone. Flour also, being taken off sparingly to-day, even the best marks of Irish receded Is. per sack, and American was the turn cheaper. Barley, of all kind', and Malt exciting ler inquiry, feebly supported late prices, Beans and Peas upon a limited demand; were rather lower in value. Oats commanding little notice, gave way 4d. to Id. vet 451 b. ; and Oatmeal, in the absence of country buyers, hardly sustained previo us rates. Having several Irish millers over to-day, prime yellow Indian Corn was in fair request on terms last noted, whilst all qualities of white, and mixed parcels gene nlly, were Is. per in. and Cora Meal Bd. per barrel lower.

Oats declined Is. per qr. In other grain no variation. ~OCTHAMPTON, March 31.—Our market was liut mode rately supplied with Wheat to-day, yet the trade was very dull and the turn of prices in favour of the buyer. Barley in good demand, both for malting and grinding, and readily taken at previous prices. Beans in Hither more demand. For seed Oats a fair demand ; but little paying in other articles. WAKEFIELD, Much 31.-The weather at length assumes a more favourable appearance. Farmers will now be active in field work, and the probability is supplies will fall off. This week we have a good arrival of Wheat to report ; the trade is very dull ; fellers give way 2.. per qr., but buyers are not disposed to purchase to any extent.

BRADFORD, March 2 L—Thie has been the worst of all weeks for sales; c sretly a transaction seem to have taken place. This 7 r mark will apply to all kinds, both English and Colonial ; every one seems disinclined to buy, and more es 7 ,vially as English combing wools have maintained their r rices so well, notwithstanding the many substitutes that Ir ive been introduced. There so no doubt the diminished • use since last clip day will be shown shortly, by the at ock of old Wools being far more than fee many years put It is totally impossible for the mice to be maintained with .out a great change in the use and demand. Noils and brok es are also decidedly flatter, and, although but a small gland - ty making, yet it is fully equal to the demand, and prices are a shads in favour of the buyer. LIVIRPOO ',April I.—The business transacted last month was on a rat Der limited scale. The sales effected by private treaty have beets principally of the lower descriptions, such as 'Egyptian, Cordova, Mogadorc, Scotch, Cheviot and Laid Highland Wool, without advance or diminution in price. Ir. the manufacturing districts trade is much depressed, but on the whole there is a better manifestation. The stocks are much reduced ; therefore, importers have held fi rmly, and tuyers have been compelled to purchase at previous quo tations.

The show of Horses was very indifferent , in fact, there has not been such a poor exhibition of animal. for a long time. The demand was exceedingly flat, and prices ranged low.
