were killed on the spot. Next day a captain named Fsbey was arrested on the charge of being concerned in exciting the assembly referred to to acts of violence, and all the inhabitants of the Rue dee Cheyennes, who are supposed to have favoared the royal party, were disarmed. The primary assemblies of the above Swiss canton and ex-Prussian principality were to have been convoked on Friday lest, in order to nominate the re presentatives of the people, who will be charged with the mission of drawing up the constitution of the aeon. The new journal, which is called the Republicain Netifeluitelei, strongly urges the primary assemblies to elect men who will vote for a purely democratic, in contradistinction to an aristocratic, constitution, such as prevails in too many cantons. The Provisional Government has issued a proclamation stating that efficient measures have been taken to secure perfect freedom in the exercise of the elective franchise. All men who are twenty years of age (the age fixed for commencement of military service) are entitled to vote (soldiers included) for the constituent assembly. A magnificent banner has been presented by the ladies of rheum-de-Fonds (the great rival of Geneva in the watch trade) to the republicans of that place. It was installed on the 12th inst., in the HUtel-de- Ville, amidst enthusiastic cries of " Vive la Suisse !" Vivo la Republique !" Apropos of Neufchltel, it may be just worth while to state here, that no canton of Switzerland has perhaps passed through so many vicissitudes. It has been successively the apinage of some twenty princes of different races, and has passed from Germany to France, from France to Prussia, back again to France, then back again to Prussia, until the other day it declared itself a republic, and a thorough, instead of a half Swiss canton. The lii , publienin Noffeluitelois publishes a secret communication to General Pfnel, Prussian Governor of Nenfehitel, from Herr Dubois, anlic councillor at Berlin, in which the armed inter vention of Austria, in favour of the Sonderbund, is considered as a very probable event, and in which the subdivision of the Helvetic Confederation is held out as desirable. It is clear that the speedy defeat of the Sonderbund and subsequent events have saved Swit zerland from foreign invasion. ROME, MARCII 8. The French held a meeting at the Cercle Francais, Piazza Mignanelli, and gave their adhesion to the republic. Count Rossi declared that he had served to the beet of his power the government now fallen, and was ready to serve the nest. They believed him thoroughly. Some speaker having used the word M. le Comte, Ambassadeur de France, " Citoyen Ambassaileur," roared out a bearded artist, "II n'y a plus en France de nobles, nusis Great applause followed. In the evening they went to tear down the arms of Louis Philippe and his " Charte de 1830" from the embassy entrance, but Rossi had pulled it down, and substituted a tricolor flag, new pattern. The Prince of Canino, Buonaparte, stood his trial two days ago at our assizes, for his riotous conduct some months back, and was acquitted, owing to the general good humour of the tribunal. Soiruntur rim proceres Cu ruie,te , abibis. Nothing is talked of but the French farce of King Louis Philippe's disenthronement : and the only do mestic matter I can send you is the new song, which is heard everywhere, in theatres, concerts, street corners, with accompaniment of barrel-organ, and chorus of all ages, sexes, and conditions, and which is destined to live in the annals of regenerated Italy.

The hard-hearted judges have condemned the youth Polacco to two months' imprisonment for " permitting Baron Sant's daughter to run away with him." The young lady still resides with Pelacco's friends, awaiting the happy moment of her lover's release from the bonds of imprison. ment to encircle him in those of Hymen, if a priest can be found to perform the ceremony. General Ellice wan determined that if the Maltese did kick up a row, they should have it all amongst them selves, for he confined the soldiers to barracks during the carnival. Notwithstanding this, and " the extremely pacific disposition " of the people, the police from the country were all brought into Valetta—the marine police, the custom-house guards, the men of the civil engineer department, were all on duty as constables, in total to the number of 200; rather a significant number to keep " peaceful citizens " in order. Owing to a heavy shower of rain the drumming, yelling, singing, and shouting ceased oa the first night, Sunday, about 11 o'clock, and the " peaceful " citisens retired to their quiet homes, their ardour somewhat damped. The second day of the carnival has just ended. The governor gives a fancy dress ball to-night ; cards are out for six hundred. tip to this moment, 9 p.m., the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon has not arrived. She was due on the Ist. MARCH 13. The Neapolitan steamer Nettano arrived here on the 9th from Naples, having on board C. M. Cock. Arch-1 bishop of Pates., and late confessor to Ferdinand, King of Naples. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tiger left for Southampton on the 9th. As the Ripon did not leave Malta tor Alexandria until the Bth, she cannot be back, at the very earliest, until the 16th. Many are curious here to ascertain if the French boat of the 14th will bring on the mail, or whether, like in December last, they will be detained for the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer. A boat, which arrived from Sicily on the 10th, reported that the fortress of St. Salvadore and the lighthouse battery were taken b 2. the Messinese, oa the 7th, and the garrison put to the sword. Also, that two officers, who hail deserted from the lighthouse batted the previous day, had informed the people that the Neapolitan general hod ordered all the provisions and water therein to be poisoned, and warned the people not to touch anything in that fortress or the citadel! THE ADVICE OF THE ALLIED POWERS TO THE COURT OF ROME. On the 28th ult. the House of Commons addressed her Majesty for a copy of the representation made to the Homan government by the allied powers in the year 1831, advising it to adopt certain reforms and improvements. The Qasen has commanded this interesting state paper to be presented to parliament. It appears that on the 21st of May, 1831, the representatives of the five "great" powers at the Court of the Vatican came to the res , ,lution at once to pre sent their proposition for the re-organisation of the adminis tration of the papal states, formally and explicitly, to the Cardinal Secretary of State. This proposition was embodied in the following memorandum," of which we subjoin translation from the original French : " MEMOIIANDUM.—I. It appears to the representatives of the five powers that, u regards the state of the church, there aro two fundamental points important in their bear ings upon the general interests of Europe :-1. That the government of this state should be established on solid foun dations by the ameliorations meditated and annotated by his Holiness himself at the commencement of his reign. 2. That these ameliorations, which, according to the ex premien of the edict of his eminence Cardinal Bernetti, will found a new era for the 'abject, of his Holiness, should, by an internal guarantee, be insured against the changes inhe rent in the nature of all representative government*. " 11. For the attainment of this salutary end, which, on account of the geographical and social position of the states Of the church, is a subject of European interest, it appears indispensable that the organic declaration of his Hamm should set out from two vital principles :-1. From the ap plication of the ameliorations in question not only to the pro /men in which the revolution has broken out, but also to ' those which have remained faithful, and to the capital as well. 2. From the general admissibility of laymen to admi nistrative and judicial functions. " 111 . The lame ameliorations ought (as it appears to the Powers) to embrace, in the first instants, the judicial system and that of the municipal and provincial administration : A. As regards the judicial order, it appears that the complete execution and consistent development of the pro mises and principles of the 1710(11 proprio of 1816 present the surest and most efficacious means of redrawing the gene. rat grievances relative to this interesting department of @deist organisation. B. Asregards the local administration, it ap pears that the re-establishment and general organisation of municipalities elected by the people, and the foundation of municipal franchises in order to regulate theeetion of these municipalities in the local interests of the communes, must formthe indispensable basis of every administrative ameliora tion. In the second place, the organisation of provincial councils—either of a permanent administrative coun cil destined to aid the governor of the province in the exalt ! tion of his functions, with suitable attributes, or of a more I numerous assembly taken from the bosoms of the new muni cipalities, and destined to be consulted respecting the most important interests of the province—appearsextremely useful for the purpose of paving the way to the amelioration and simplification of the provincial administration, of distributing taxation equally, and of enlightening the government re specting the real necessities of the province. IV. The immense importance of • regular state of finance and such an administration of the public debt as would afford the guarantee so desirable for the financial credit of the government, and would so essentially contribute to augment its resources and insure its independence, ap pears to render indispensable the establishment of • central institution in the capital, charged, as Supreme Court of Accounts, with the control of the annual budget in each branch of the civil and military administration, and the sur veillance of the public debt, with attributes correspond ing with the great and salutary end proposed to he attained. The greater the independence such an institution and the closer the impreuion of the intimate union of the go vernment and the country, the more will it respond to the benevolent intentions of the sovereign and the general ex pectation of the people. It appears that for the attainment of this object persons ought to sit in this askeiniily chosen by local councils, and forming, with councillors of the govern. ment, • junta, or administrative consults. Such a junta would, or would not, form part of the council of state, the members of which would be chosen by the sovereign from the notables eminent by birth, fortune, or administrative abi lity. Without one or several central establishments of this nature, intimately connected with the notables of • country so rich in aristocratic and conservative elements, it appears that the nature of an elective government would nece-sarily deprive the reforms which will redound to the eternal glory of the re' • Pontiff of that stability the want of which is gene and powerfully felt, and which will be still more sensibly fe lt in proportion as the benefits of the Pontiff are great and precious." THE AMERICAN OCEAN STEAMER, WASHINGTON, Capt. Johnston, left Southampton,yesterday, for New York, with 35 passe en, and 250 tons of mcrchandise, principally French and Manchester goods. W. H. Hincken, Esq., went out in her, in charge of despatches from the American . • Eon. NGLISH REFUGEES FROM FRANCE.—The Lady De Saumarea steamer arrived at Southampton from Havre esterday with 184 poesengers, about half of which were English operatives expelled from France ; forty or fifty Scotch factory girls from Rouen were among the number. ' A protestant clergyman who had resided at Havre a great many years, sold off everything and came over in the Leaf De aumarez. The Mayor of Southampton had received a letter from Sir George Grey previous to the arrival of the steamer stating that some English refugees would land yesterday, and requesting him to afford relief. A number of the refugees consequently applied to the mayor at the Audit-house for assistance. English people in Havre are subjected to much alarm and insult. That town has hitherto been quiet, owing to the vigour and intelligence of the magistracy, some of whom, however, have been dis missed by the agents of the Provisional Government. Ebe Court. The Duchess of Gloucester arrived at the Palace, in the middle of the day, to learn the state of her Majesty. The Duchess of Kent visited the Queen in the afternoon. The Bucher of Cambridge called at Buckingham Palace, yesterday, to inquire aft r the health of the Queen. Lord Camoys has succeeded the Earl of Listowel as the Lord in Waiting to the Queen; and Lieut. Colonel thel Hon. A. N. Hoed has succeeded Sir Frederick Stavin as the Groom in Waiting to her Majesty. The inquiries after her Majesty's health were ex ceedingly numerous, and many of the working classes who went to the neightvituhood of Buckingham Palace, in the expectation of seeing a bulletin put up in some prominent place, were greatly disappointed that no official announce. ment of the state of her Majesty's health was posted. A deputation of thWirrettors of the India and Australia Steam Navigation Company, consisting of Lieut. Waghorn, Mr. Ford, Mr. Montiflore, Mr. ItAinson, Mr. S. Russell, and Mr. Yates, had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Marquis of Westminster had an interview with Sir G. Grey yesterday. Sir H. Williamson had also an in. terview yesterday with the right hon. baronet at the Home office. A deputation from the Birmingham Canal Com pany, coasisting of the Hon. Colonel Anson, M.P., Mr. Munta, M.P., - Mr. Scott, Mr. Pasty, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Ingleby, had an interview with Viscount Morpeth yes terday, at the office of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests in Whitehall-place, on the subject of the Health of Towns Bill. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a court wan held for the despatch of business. Tun Qualm's ACCOUCHEMENT.—The Lord Mayor stated to the court that he bad received a letter from Sr George Grey, announelog her Majesty's safe delivery of a princess. —Sir P. Laurie, as the oldest member of the court present, moved that an address be presented to her Majesty upon the joyful occasion. It was at the present moment essentially important that the court should show its strong feeling of loyalty, and respect, and attachment to the throne. (lieu.) He war convinced that an address upon such a subject would be received with the utmost cordiality and gratification by the Queen, and he should move that an humble address he presented on the occasion to her Majesty.—Alderman Kelly seconded the motion.—Alderman Salomon, said the feeling of loyalty extended to the whole population, and there did not exist a doubt that if there had been any disposition to commit violence it would have been immediately and effec tually checked.—The Lori Mayor said he had good reason for saying that the address would be most cheerfully re ceived by her Majesty.—The court was then cleared of strangers, and an address of congratulation was, we under stand, unanimously agreed to. CONDUCT o THZ CITY POLICII.—The Lord Mayor an nounced that he had received a communication from Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the Commissioner of the City Police, in whisk he stated— I feel it due to the superintendent. the officers, and constables of the force to state, that throughout the recent period of excitement (I wish cold add, and whkh hes eo happily passed . y) their conduct has been judicious. temperate, and exemplary, in all respects conformable to the orders I caused to be read to the several dirlidoas when their special services were ant required. Alderman Challis, the chairman of the police committee, and other members of the court, spoke in high commendation of the skill and activity of the commissioner, and of the general excellent conduct of the officers and constables, and the com munication was referred to the police committee. OMNIBUS RIOULAT/ONO. Alderman Johnson brought up the report of the general purposes committee, recom mending " that no omnibus or other metropolitan stage coach should from and after the 25th of Merck stand or re main at any part of the plying places in Gracechurch-street for a longer space than 5 minutes at any one time between 8 in the morning and 11 in the forenoon, nor a longer apace than 10 minutes between 11 in the forenoon and 3 in the afternoon, nor for a longer space than 5 minutes between 3 and 6 in the afternoon, nor for a longer space than 10 mi nutes from 6 in the afternoon till night."—The report was unanimously agreed to.—Adjourned. The DEATHS in LONDON, during the week ending March 18, are stated by the registrar general to have num bered 1,118; the average being 1,107. The births during the same period were 1,436. CALEDONIAN ASTLUM.—A general meeting was held yesterday, at the house of the Scottish Corporation, Crane-court, for the election of directors and the transaction of other business. An objection was made before the com mencement of the proceedings by Mr. Dobie, who maintain ed that the meeting was illegal, as only eight days' public notice had been given instead of ten, which was required by the act. A long discussion took pl ace upon this important question, which resulted in an agreement that the meeting should simply elect the directors, and that a special meeting should be subsequently called to confirm that proceeding and dispose of the remainder of the business. The committee then proposed a list of gentlemen to fill the vacancies caused by resignation and the retirements by rotation,—namely, the Mac Gregor, MOWS. J. Machinists, P. Robertson, E. Antrobus, J. Auldjo, W. Burn. M. Boyd, D. E. Forbes, A. Gillespie, and Dr. A. Henderson. In consequence of Mr. Gillespie declining to fill the office, the name of Mr. Harrison was substituted for that gentleman, and the list recommended by the directors adopted, after an amendment had been pro posed and lest by a large majority. The proceedings then terminated. THE COALWIIIPPERS.—II is stated by the Guarantee Society, as a proof of the general good character of the coal whippers, whose services have just been availed of in the City se special constables, that out of 200 of them for whom the society has become aunty under the regulations of the " Coalwhippers Act," to the extent of 2,0001., not one, dur ing a period of six years, has proved unfaithful or dishonest. This fact, which fully corroborates the observations of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Labonchere, with reference to these men, is interesting as • proof of the integrity of a large clue of useful operatives. FIRE. -- IN THE OLD SENT-ROAD. Last night, between nine and ten &clock, a fire broke out upon the premiss occupied conjointly by Mr. Hill, a pianoforte manufacturer, and Mr. Nathan, a teacher of dancing, situate at No. 8, Oakley-ter race, Old Kent-rend, near the Neiman Tavern. The build ing In which the disaster commenced woe of great depth and four floors high. Whilst the alarm was being given, the flames shot forth In a body from the shop and upper floors. At this period no one belonging, to the property could be heard of, which led to a supposition that the occupants had all perished. From subsequent inquiries made, although no thing satisfactory could be learned, it is generally supposed that no one was in the house when the fire began. If there were, every portion mast have perished. When the engines arrived the house from the basement to the roof was wrapped THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1848. in one immense sheet of flame. From some neglect the turncoek had to be called, and the flames, unrestrained, tra• veiled with surprising rapidity; Ike houses on the other side were severely injured. At length, however, water was fur nished, but it was not until past 12 o'clock that the flames were extinguished, sad not before the spacious pile et pre mime in which they commenced were totally gutted and the contents consumed. and the men who raised the state to her present proud posi tion, would he the rulers of the state. (" Hear" and cheers.) Mr. Mitehell concluded by saying that, as there should be no rest for Ireland until her freedom was accomplished, he would only add that he was for at once making a beginning. The learned gentleman then read the following address to the French nation: TO TOO canons OF TOO Farms IRAPCSLIC. As slaves should address freemen—as a land which has yet its in dependence to insert, and its social freedom to attain, should address • sovereign state sad a republic, we address you, citizens I Had we a asekesi government, a recognised centre willing and cow- Feted tu act and speak foe uo, It would have long since boldly de clared the adadratice of your heroism, the sympathy with your muse, the delight In your victory, which we feel, but are horn our condition incapable of uttering, Foreign dominion and tilatraction among ourselves choke the beet and noblest feelings of out hearts. and turn into empty wind the voice of millions. Receive from us, citizens, ail the congratulations we eau offer; and be assured, that beneath them there is much that cannot be uttered—behind them the longings and passions of suffering and enslaved men. Yon who have only but yeetei day broken through even a mild despotiarn, and yet who were compelled to bide V your Marts for eightato years the hate of that despotism which now you have so nobly vlodisated—you, citdena, you can understand as. We recognise in the French republic the work of working men. We see in its every act justice to the I lights of labour ; and its victories, its glories, Its auccem, and enduring justice, we, working men, oartkl pate. But enslaved as we are, we can only offer you our individual sympathy and friendehip, and we ask in return that you will look upon the sufferings of the eldest and most persecuted sister of our common Celtic race with commireration and sorrow. We ask you not to blush for our shame and our slavery, but to retain for an re ciprocal friendship and sympathy till our liberated oouatry can do. serve it. The adoption of the address was seconded and carried. Mr. R. O'GORMAN, jun., moved the first reselution, stating the claims of Ireland to a domestic legislature ; and the determination of the people to attain it. It was as follows : • Considering that it is the universally acknowledged right of every nation to determine who shall be its own rulers ; that, previous to the year 11100, this island was, in all essential attributes, an indepen dent nation ; that the act which abolished its independence was passed by means of bribery and brute force, in opposition to the de clared will of a large majority of its people ; that the union was thus forced upon the Irish people in violation of a solemn International treaty ratified by an act of the British legislature, declaring the right of Ireland to be bound only by laws enacted by her own parliament to be '• established and ascertained for ever,'and at no time hereafter to be questioned or questionable ;"—ltesolved that, for the foregoing I reason., we declare our solemn conviction that the aforesaid union la a nullity, that the laws of the British legislature are not in con science binding upon the Irish people, unit:oat resistance or obedience to its authority is a question of expediency, not of duty. Feeling that there was but one obstacle in the way of attain ing liberty, he (Mr. O'Gorman) considered that it was idle to suppose that there was any force in being sufficient to de prive them of their rights, if they were determined to en force lithium. The one obstacle he alluded to was, dis union amongst themselves. Why did they talk of Young and Old Ireland? Why were they to be pestered with the accursed names of faction? Whig and tory—old faction names—were beginning to die away, and immediately other factious epithets started up to bar them in their progress to liberty. Leaders might meet and talk of reconciliation— conferences might be held to bring aoout union ; but he (Mr. O'Gorman) would declare to the world that the people were united and reconciled; fcr, although they might be called by different names, and respect different leaders, they were united in the same principles and course of action ; and when the day came, in the same determination. He, for one, repudiated all factions ; he did not care what man worked for repeal, whether chartist or conservative — protestant or catholic ; from Conciliation-hall or from the confederation • if he saw him honestly working to extir pate English confederation; from their island ; if he saw him opposing corruption, and claiming for Ireland her rights, he would lend him kis aid, (Cheers.) Mr. DOWLINO seconded the resolution. Mr. BARRY, the secretary, said they would not bother their heads with petitions to parliament; but they would address the Queen direct, and send a deputation to present it to her. The address should be signed by every man in Ireland who could write—and marksmen should put their marks to it. Such would Ice the address they would prepare demanding repeal ; and all the reply they would ask would be, " Yes," or " No; " and if the latter, they would be obliged to get it for themselves without spilling one drop of blood ; but in order to procure it so, they should he prepared to wade through a river of blood, if necessary. (Tremen dous cheers.) Mr. S. O 3IIDON next addressed the meeting, saying he would not support it, if be did not believe every man present was ready to act on his words—to support by his arm what he uttered with his mouth. It was the wish of some that a resolution should be proposed that day for the formation of a volunteer army or national guard; but, upon consideration, it was thought better to postpone it until the return of the deputation from Paris, .'ter present ing the address read by Mr. Mitchel. It would be then brought forward. A person who designated himself an English protestant having addressed the meeting, the motion was put and carried. Mr. M'GRE next came forward to address the meeting, and proposed the second resolution as follows : iteaolved—That we consider the time has anived for carrying out the project of the late illustrious leader of the Irish people namely, the assembling of a council of three hundred pereons in this city to concentrate the national strength, and to devise measu•ca for raising this country from her present position of servitude and misery. He said the Irish people had always evinced a disposition to obey the laws, and they would continue to do so if they had a constitutional government—hut they had no government in Ireland. The English had taken away the legiti mate and natural government from the people of Ireland. They had carried it into England, and the English should now defend it themselves. No band in Ireland should ever be raised to defend the English institutions here which had crushed and ruined her. No men should enrol himself to defend English government, or any government which was not really Irish. If an Irishman was found to countenance English rule in this country, be (Mr. M'Gee) prayed that "coward " might be written upon his brow—that the detes tation and horror of the people should follow him to another world, and the name of " slave " ke branded upon the fore head of every individual of his posterity. They should wait a little longer—wait until Oren Bntain was engaged in foreign war. They should wait until French steamers were letting off their steam in Falmouth and Portsmouth. Then he would call upon the people to stand together, and, when their opportunity was ripe, if the Irish people did sot then grasp at it, he would say. may they be slaves for ever. (Cheers.) Mr. MEAGHER said, that the time had arrived to carry out the project of the assembling of the council of 300, to concentrate the national strength. The project contained in the resolution was the most cherished design of 1843; and the realisation of it was looked forward to with exultation by the Irish people—and if they did not carry out the pro ject, they would stamp themselves before all the world, which was in arms for liberty, as men who had the presump. tion to make great promises, but had not the courage to ful fil what was expected of them. Upon St. Patrick's Day he was in Manchester, he had the honour of being present in the evening at a meeting consisting of 16,000 persons, and he waa proud to stand there, and aa far as lay . in his power retract what be considered to be a gross injustice which had been done to that portion of the English people ;_ they had been held accountable for the animosity of the English government. (Hoer.) This was a mistake, and the Irish people had been labouring under a groin delusion, and when looking for foreign sympathy, it was very lamentable that they had not looked to England also. (Hear, hear.) They might rest assured that if an arm was I stretched out to strike them in Ireland, another would be stretched out in England to revenge them. He owed it, as a loyal subject of the Queen, to announce, that if one drop of blood were shed by the armed government whilst the citizens assembled to assort a constitutional right, there would be ten thousand shed in England, and the workhouses of the chief cities of England would be burnt to the ground in revenge. Mr. GORDON—A cheer for the English people. (Load cheers.)_ Mr. lf ',tonne continued—ln any ease where there was not a grievous incentive this would be a fearful retribution ; but when the government found itself baffled by the public opinion of the country, and dreaded to join issue with the as- Berton of liberty, and found that their only chance of keeping their hold of the country was by producing a massacre, that which would otherwise be a crime became a virtuous act. It was with great difficulty that he got to the meeting ; he had scarcely set foot upon British soil when he was honoured by an escort from two pollee constables. While Mr. Doheny and he were at the hotel he was kindly waited noon by the police,and they as kindly accompanied them to Manchester ; but he did not know who paid their expenses. (Laughter.) He then said that steps would be immediately taken to con vene and call together the council of 300, in spite of the Con vention Act, for they must trample on: the Convention Act. They should have the same privilege its that respect as the people of England and Scotland, and boldly take their stand upon the violation of that act. Let them violate it, and say they had done so because it stood in the way of Irish liberty. As they had lost all confidence in the united parliament he trusted that they would turn with confident hope and pride to the council, which would not be a parliament, but which he hoped they would look upon as an assembly constituted by the people, and invested by them with a higher authority than that which was called a parliament. Mr. DOYLE, a carpenter, and Mr. REDMAN, a sawyer. then proposed and seconded the next resolution. Mr. D. REILLY congratulated them upon having com- Iletely conquered Lord Clarendon, the general butcher of reland. (Cheers.) He (Mr. R.) hinted that the initia tive step would soon be taken to form and assemble the national guard. He knew no franchise, municipal or parliamentary, like the possession of a gun. (Loud cheers.) He would refer to the revolution in Italy, in Rome also, the overthrow of the kings of Italy and the repeal of the Sicilian union, to show that the franchise which led to these results was not a parliamentary or municipal franchise, but the franchise of arms. (" Hear," and cheers.) The right of every Irishman to hold arms was the franchise which he would advocate. He would rather give the peasant a gun sod teach him how to use it than give him a right to sleet a potielaw guardian ; for an armed people might defy all prose4aw guardians, and all other officers who conducted themselves badly. (Cheers.) Mr. C. O. DCYFY then proposed that Mr. Richard O'Gor man, jun., Mr. John Dillon, and Mr. Bartholomew Red mond, be appointed a deputation to Paria.—Resolution adopted. Mr. 0 DoNotrui said, in reading an addrees to the Queen, that her Majesty should look sharply around upon the state of Europe, and see what obstinacy had already produced; she should weigh well whether her present ministry were calculated to produce an effect similar to that which the ty ranny of Louts Philippe had already produced. Mr. DENNI seconded the adoption of the address. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, after eulogising the late conduct of the French people, observed that there was one circumstance to which he was desirous to call the attention of the meeting. It was to state, that from that time forth he intended to dedicate himself to a new mission. It was his resolve from henceforth to attempt to form a new combination of the whole Irish nation. If he failed to the full extent of his dame he still hoped that he might at lead be enabled to effect a union of all classes of repeaters; and he thought it was the height of insanity for repeaters to differ merely on account of some petty jealousies existing between those who termed themselves leaders of the Irish people. For his own part he had no such jealousy; he had no desire whatever to be the leader of the Irish people, and only desired permission to follow the man who would lead his beloved countrymen to freedom. That man, whoever he might be, he would follow; and it was in that spirit he came to the present meeting. Mr. O'Brien said he wished also to say a few words on the subject of the formation of a national guard. Me agreed with thou who told. them that they ought to ad dress to their sovereign a demand that she should permit her Irish subjects to form themselves into a national guard for the defence of their country, which was necessary for the maintenance of the liberties of the people on the one hand, and for defence against their foes on the other. Now he conceived that such a demand could b• made legally and constitutionally; but he thought it would be advisable to postpone the matter until his return from France, where he would have an opportanity of consulting with the members of the French Provisional Government as to the best mode of organiaiag such a body. (Cheers.) If the repeaters of ' Ireland came boldly forward and made a manly front in the face of day, to tell her Majesty that they were ready to lay down their lives, if necessary, for the defence of their country, but that an Irish parliament should be obtained fur Ireland within a definite period, such a demand could not fail of success. The question for the adoption of the address was then put from the chair and carried, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—Tbe usual weekly meeting of this body was held to-day. The hall was crowded in every part, even to inconvenience, and betokening that it had not been deserted on account of the open air demonstration on the opposite bank of the Liffey. There was great enthusiasm evinced by those present ; and the Earl of Miltowu, who was present to-day again, was received with great warmth. The epeeches were of the ordinary character, The repeal rent very nearly approached 1001. Amistant-Sargeon G. P. Banks, to Plymouth HaspltaL —Slattere Angetautc: R. G. Bealneon, to Etananch; S.

THE GREAT DEMONSTRATION OF TO-DAY. The day of alarm has passed over quietly. The "Great Demonstration" has taken place, and the pavements have not been rooted up for barricades, and the God of Battles rests in his hall of pikes with out an invocation or prayer. Like all the movements and meetings of our city since the 28th of February, peace and order have characterised the gathering of to-day. Not a riot—not an act of disorder—no tri colour—no seditious or disloyal cry marked the pro ceedings, which, in all truth, were wholly tame and spiritless. In point of rank, respectability, and even common members, it was an utter and moat de cided failure. At any period of the day not more than about 3,000 were present, and one-halt' at least of the assemblage, which was to fire the ' Liffey, was composed of girls and gamine. Around the platform some 2,000 were close packed while another floating thousand hung on the outskirts. The place of meeting was a piece of reclaimed slob ' on the north wall, on which a platform was erected, consisting of planks laid upon empty tierces. Admis sion was to be had by tickets, but the privilege be came a nullity, for the boys scaled the parapet on all sides, and took their stand by the chiefs of the con- federation. At 12 o'clock the committee quietly, and without parade, reached the place of meeting. There was no procession or music. The leaders arrived in twos and threes, and it was not until the sun shone out at two o'clock that the idle portion of the population wended their way to the very disagreeable slob, which repaid the pressure of the foot with aide walls of filth and soft mud. The speakers were of the confederation class. One could see from a distance their gesticulations, but the effect of their eloquence was dissipated in space. I never witnessed less enthusiasm at any political assembly of Irishmen. Their hearts, unquestionably wherever else they happened to be, were not there. The piping treble of the orators was unfavourably contrasted by the multitude with the loud, clear, and mellow voice of the " Liberator," whose name was on the lips of all. The great mass did not appear to comprehend the aim or object of the meeting. All they could ascertain was "something about France." I mixed much with the crowd, and in every quarter heard them denounce the Young Ireland party as enemies of the country. Knots of operatives dis cussed with much liveliness and sagacity the value of the peace and war doctrines—the former always in the ascendant. I was struck with a circumstance which occurred in one of those groups. "Look," said one, "at Gavin Duffey ; last Saturday week he was all for fighting ; now he is for peace." " Yes," remarked another, " Smith O'Brien is the same. O'Connell was always right." A tall gentlemanly-looking man, who, like myself, had hitherto been a listener, turned smartly round, and, with a sarcastic tone, observed, " O'Con nell was indeed right, for he provided right well for his sons and relatives." And then he darted off. All shouted out a " detective," and the same impression was left on my own mind. The members of the committee were distinguished by a green ribbon worn in the button-hole. The great proportion of them occupied the platform, though several circulated freely among the crowd to display their rank, and also to preserve order, which was wholly unnecessary. After one of the most languid displays in the re ' cords of popular manifestation in Ireland, the meet ing came to an end about 5 o'clock, and the multitude thronged up the quays into the city, and departed quietly each to his dinner, lain, quails. A gentleman connected with the French press was present, and also Mr. Hodges and his assistant. The government reporter left Conciliation-hall free. Upon being asked why he did not divide his force, he re plied that there was no fear of the " Hall," whose explosive matter bore no proportion to the powder magazine of the confederation. No police or military were at the meeting. In the neighbourhood of Fort Crystal a dilapidated glass , manufactory on the east side of the north wall, a squadron of cavalry was stationed from an early hour in the morning, and in the cuatom-house 300 men of the 74th Regiment. Some patrols of horse police rode along the quays throughout the day. The Dublin Evening Herald says : The government have this day determined to prosecute the leading and more violent repeal agitators, but the names of the parties have no: transpired. It is stated that the warrants are made out and signed, and that the arrests will take place this evening. The signatures to the declaration in support of law and order now amount to upwards of one hundred thousand, including a great number of peers, prelates, baronets, members of the House of Commons, deputy lieutenants, magistrates, members of the various professions, clergymen of the various denomina tions, merchants, traders, and farmers, without any religious or political distinction. In the lists received to-day there appear the names of the Hon. Dr. Plunkett, Bishop of Tuam, and of Dr. Kennedy, Roman Catholic Bishop of Killaloe, with all his curates. The following peers hays signed the declaration, in addition to those already mentioned :—The Earl of Erne, Earl of Clonmel ; Lords Doneraile, Riversdale, and Mount morres. Twenty more baronets have given their signatures. The new lists of deputy-lieutenants, magistrates, and other country gentlemen comprise a large proportion of the Roman catholic gentry from almost every county in Ireland. The supplemental list of the clergy comprises a great number of Roman catholic parish priests and curates, in some instances the protestant rector and the parish priest heading the list side by aide. Altogether, this declaration is a highly important and well-timed demonstration of the sound opinion of the country against the wild designs and the treasonable spouting of the anarchists. DEMONSTRATION OF THE TRADES AND YOUNG IRELAND PARTY. The demonstration of the trades and Young Ireland party was held this day at the North Wall. The chair was taken by R. O'Gorman, sen., Esq. Amongst the leaders on the platform were W. S. O'Brien, Esq., M.P., and Messrs. Meagher, Mitchell, Duffy, O'Gorman, and several other members of the Irish Confederation. Mr. Hodges, the government reporter, was present. The CHAIRMAN stated that the objects for which the meeting had been called were, to address the French people upon their gallant assertion of their legitimate rights, to ad dress the British Queen upon the unfortunate state of this country, and to demand the exertion of her inducer° with her ministry for a repeal of the legislative union, which had been so disastrous to - Ireland. Mr. J. MITCHELL, of the United Irishman, HMO to move the adoption of • congratulatory address to the French as- Bon. He said he had been permitted to move the adoption of an address from the citizens of Dublin to the citizens of the French republic—but he hoped that no one in that meeting imagined that they, Irishmen, were addressing the people of France on equal terms. That was, indeed, no gala day for them. They, the citizens of Dublin, were the citizens of no place. They were met together that day as strangers in their I own homes, under the guns of a foreign garrison, by the sub ferance of a military governor, who held their country for another nation. It was under these unhappy circumstances they were met to congratulate another nation on the achieve meat of its liberties. But even that was not all ; for some of his fellow-slaves—his brother surplus, had been i afraid to present themselves at that meeting, lest, per haps, some indiscreet, enthusiastic, or unconstitutional I speaker should touch a note too defiant, and thus p lace I them within the merciless grasp of their rulers. (Hear, hear) He, for his own part, would say, that he would feel the deepest shams in attending that meeting, had he net felt within him en assurance that their own day of delivery was fast approaching. They had met that day to congratu late the French people, with "bated breath and whispering humbleness ;^ but the day was near at hand when the French would have to congratulate Irishmen on freedom won. (Cheers.) France had the glory of being the ori- I fluster of all European wars for the assertion of liberty. Having been for years past crushed to the dust by the des potism of Louis Philippe, suddenly the French workmen, with one bold stroke, broke the cursed spell which surrounded them, and raised a ball of fire to guide other benighted nations to liberty. The first French revolution which took place sixty years ago, destroyed the landlords of France, and gave its soil to the French people, amongst whom it was divided in small lots to be retained by them and their heirs for ever. By the second revolution legitimacy was abolished, and the right of the French people to choose their own roles was asserted. By the third revolution, that of 1848, the rights of liberty were fully and finally established in France— (cheen)—and the people of that country had specifically affirmed the great right of workmen combining in order to secure to themselves a fair remuneration for their labour, end Christian usage. (Loud cheers.) In France, hence forth, the ma who weaved the cloth would have some of it to wear on his own back; the man who raised food for his fellow men would have some for himself and his family ; intatt. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Another opera of Verdi's—" I Due Foseari"—was performed last evening; being the third opera by this composer already produced in the brie) space since the commencement of the season. We have, indeed, as yet kad scarcely anythiog but Verdi; but we must look, by-and-bye, for a series of pleoes'of a higher order. There is, however, a reason for producing this opera on the occasion of Signor Coletti's first appearance this season. The aged Doge is one of this performer's finest parts, being not only well suited to his vocal powers, but afford ing him room for the display of his genius as a tragedian, The opera, moreover, however feeble as a musical composi tioa, is one of the most beautiful dramas of the Italian stage ; so pathetic in its subject, and ea well constructed, that it never fails to arrest the attention, and rouse the sym pathies of the audience. The music, like that of Verdi's operas in general, is of a negative kind. From its vague ness and want of intrinsic dramatic character it is a sort of tabula rasa—a sheet of blank paper—on which it rests with the performer to imprint • determinate meaning and ex passion ; and when the performer possesses high genius, his beautiful workmanship conceals the poverty of his materials. So is it with Coletti's performance of the aged Fostari. The accents of feeling and pression, so musical, so expressive, and so moving, are the inspirations of the actor himself, in which the com poser hat no share. His whole personation of the character was even superior to his performance of it last season. It was still more lofty, simple, and pathetic; a still more finished display of tragic art; and his 'access, consequently, was still more triumphant. Ilia efforts were well supported by Mdlle. Cruvelli, whose impassioned per formance of the part of Luerezia enhanced the effect of the finest scenes of the opera. The music of this part is excessively trying to the vocalist. She is forced to contend unceasingly with such • pitiless storm of iutrumentation, which never intermits even in passages of tenderness and pathos, that her voice is always violently exerted, and touches of softness and delicacy are necessarily precluded. This, however, was no fault of Mdlle. Cruvelli, who displayed, throughout the piece, very high powers both as an actress and singer. Signor Cut mai, as Jacopo Foecarri, showed considerable feeling, but he was languid, and his intonation was frequently flat. The stern, inflexible Loredono was well personated by Bouchc. The concerted pieces Teethed an effect from the singing which really does not belong to them. This was remarkably the case with the quartet is the prison scene in the second act, which was given with so much energy and passion that it was loudly encored, though in itself it is little better than a trivial waits. As to the cho ruses, they are in general merely tunes sang in unison; and, in regard to the instrumental accompaniments, their overpowering loudness is the fault of the composer, not of the band.

Ricketts, in 1802, purchased a mansion in Shropshire and 164 acres of land adjoining to it, called the Ashford hall estate. On the marriage of his eldest son, the appellant, in 1804, the father charged part of the estate with 4,0001., for the benefit of the appellant, his wife, and children, and in 1806 be by his will devised all his estate in Shrophire, called Ashford-hall, to the appellant and soother in trust for sale, the proceeds thereof, after deducting the said mortgage or charge of 4,0001., to be in equal proportions divided among his sons and daughters. The testator died in 1811, and the appellant and the other trustee, acting under the will, ad vertised the whole estate to be sold, and after some time sold part of it. In 1831, one of the appellant's brothers be coming a bankrupt, his assignees tiled a Lill, in 183 u, for an account of the rents and profits of the estate, and for a division thereof according to the will. The appellant then for the first time insisted that the whole of Ashford-hall estate did not peas under the will; and that be, as heir-at law, was entitled to all that was not well devised ; and in sisted that he was not liable to account beyond six years; and, lastly, that he was entitled to an i-sue devisavit vel non.

The just ewaclusion from the affidavits appears to me to be that Mr. 'a homes Gurney and his father, though they wished to be friend and assist Mr. Henry Gurney, also desired and in tended that the fiat should be instrumental in procuring the payment of the debts of the di'solved firm of Nish and Gurney, by means of the funds justly and properly appii cable to that purpose. I think, therefore, that I cannot annul the fiat, and that the petition must be dismissed." INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Before Mr. IN RE THE !GT Du. fAitiEIO;7.—EiTRAVJOANCE. UNDUE PREPEKENCE.—This insolvent was opposed. The amount of debts set forth in the schedule was 9,3001., and the ground of opposition was reckless extravagance and un due preference to a particular number of creditors. The in solvent was in the enjoyment of between 9001. and 1,0001. a year (met his living of Chelsfield, Kent ; but instead of living within his means, he had kept up an establishment such as an income of 9,0001. or 10,0001. could alone justify. He had indulged in every luxury of a man of almost unli mited fortune; had kept four carriages, six or eight horses, dogs, &c., and had given sumptuous dinners and parties of every description ; and all at the expewe of his creditors, meet of whom were inserted for very large amounts, their debts being chiefly for household supplies extending over periods of one and two years. It was stated that at one time Mr. Tarleton was in possession of plate to the value 0120,0004, which had lately been reduced tJ 4,000/. worth. The point that was urged against the petitioner was, his having shortly previous to his application here, paid off those creditors who had obtained judgments against him, leaving his poorer creditors, such as grocers, butchers, newsmen, linendrapers, hatters, schoolmasters, and livery servants, without any payment whatever.—The Commissioner said that sufficient had been proved in this case to convince him that it must either be adjourned sine die, or that no day would be named for the final order, if the opposition should be proceeded with, or unless same very ample offer were made to the creditors. For the present, however, so there were many errors in the schedule, a short adjournment must take place for the necessary amendments to be made.—Adjourned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCTIT.—Lzwes,MAsaa 21. The commission for the county of Amex was opened on Monday. The business on the cnminal side is much heavier than usual, there being more than seventy prisoners for trial, and many of the cases are of the most serious descrip tion. On the civil side fifteen cases only are entered, the whole of which with one exception are common jury cams. 01.01 r, COVIT. THE RECENT DIBTUREANCES.—The Lord Chief Junk* presided in this court, and after haring complimented the magistracy of the county upon the number that had attended of that body to perform the duties of grand jurors, he pro ceeded to express his regret et the heavy list of prisoners for trial at these mien. After having made a few iv. marks with reference to some of the sues his lordship went on to say, that it was not hie habit on ordinary occa sions, in this or any other place, to dwell in any degree upon political affairs, but there were in the present state of things some appearances of such a remarkable character as might excuse Aim doing so on the present °cession, particularly taking into consideration the circumstance that he was in the position of judge in a criminal start. Front what they maw around them there appeared every probability of riots and tumults breaking out in all sorts of society, in consequence no doubt, in some degree, from contagion, from proceedings of a most dan gerous character in a neighbouring state, and perhaps in a still farther degree from an example which had been set in this country, and which was likely to be followed. That this feeling would lead to the desperate consequences that bad taken place in another country he did not think there wan any likelihood. The feeling of the public mind in England would be a sufficient security against that ; but it might have the effect of leading individuals to incur personal danger, and expose the lives and property of °then to dangers of the same kind, and to destroy that feeling of se curity which it was the object of the law to establiA. It was highly important such proceedings should be met in the onset with a firm and determined but at the tame time calm and composed spirit, and he was happy to see that there had recently been a most seasonable publication of the doctrine laid down by his lamented friend, Sir Nico las Tindal, the eminent Chat( Juatiee of the Common Pleas, in which the law was distinctly laid down end the duty that devolved upon all classes on the breaking out of such riots wan made clear. That eminent person laid it down distinctly as being the law of the land that it was the duty of all to take part with the civil power when the public peace was invaded, and that not only had no man a right to mist the constables, but that they were not justified in withholding that aid from them which the pub c required. AU, therefore, who were present on such °Taejon', and who neglected to give that necessary aid, were themselves guilty of a crime, and might be indicted and punished for neglect of an important duty, and which was east upon all by the law. They might well appeal to all dames of society, even to the very lowest, as to the ne enmity of such proceedings, from the danger and the con sequences that had arisen to those classes in other places, from a neglect of their being adopted. When they were aware that persons had beam told that labouren and asans had had their minds inflamed - by comments upon the rights of labour and the protection to which it was entitled, they might well look to the ease of the men of their own clam who had been invited to a foreign clime to earn their livelihood by their own industry, and who were suddenly turned adrift and converted into paupers by the dictates of a selfish mob. These classes would also do well to remember that the first financial act of the government whit& undertook to protect them was to forfeit their little savings in the banks where they had deposited them, and they would see what expectations they were jus t ified in forming from such proceedings, and from the overturning of all government and law. If they considered thew matters they wield feel that it was their irate vest as well as their ! er he 1e it. ins ore >Os nt), r of .J
