Those forced to buy for pre sent need had to submit, bat none others pur ch ased ; eonse. quently much at the close of the market remained unsold. The highest price given was 945. per qr. for best white Wheats; good red, 88i. ; moderate umpies, 80e. to 84s. ; while some inferior made but 70s. Flour, 661. to 70e. per sack.

YEOVIL, JUNE 4.-There was scarcely a sample of Wheat shown in our usarket to-day ;as little or no business WEB done, we cannot quote prices beyond remarking that nominally they stood at about the same figure as but week. Yoga, June 5.-There was very little grain offering at our market to-day. For the few samples of W heat farmers were asking several shapes per quarter over last week's prices, which buyers were not disposed to give, and scarcely any business was done.

The improved tone, however, cf the English advice, added to the triflingdeliveries by our far mers, has create d increased firmness this morning, and both Wheat and Indian Corn were held for more money, and other things fully maintained their previous prices. The following was the general currency : Wheat, red, 475. to 60s. ; white, per 280 lbs. 60s. to 525. 6d. ; Oats, per 1961 be., 22.. to 245. 6d ; Barley, per 224 lbs., 26a. to 295. ; Oat. meal, per ewt. 255. to 265. ed.; Flour, suck, per cwt., seconds, 27r. to 285.; American, per barrel, 435. to 1311Ll•NT, JUNE 3.-We have had a continuation of fine dry forcing weather since our last report, and the accounts, of the growing crops from the country are most favourable. We have no alteration to notice in the prices of bread-stuffs. Holders are not anions to force sales, anticipating an im provement before long, se the accounts received, per last packet, from the United States, lead them to expect much shorter supplies than had been calculated upon ; they there fore reckon that, with a falling off in the large supplies which we have been regularly receiving for some time past, our stocks will soon be =Aerially reduced, and piano:ease gushily, greatly enhanced.

Wheat has met scarcely any in quiry, though offered at a decline of Is. to 2a. per barrel. Barley and Oats are saleable in retail at about late rate'.

POTATOES.—We regret to say that the malady of last year has again appeared in the neighbourhood of Landon. In some cases, on removing early potatoes grows under frames, the tubers have been kund in progress of de. my, though neither stalk nor leaves appeared in the slighted degree deemed. The Gardeners' Chronicle says : ' It it our painful duty to announce the certain re-appearance ef the potato disease in its old form, in the open ground. We have for some time had too much reason to fear that OW forebodings would be realised, and within a few days, eve daily dace the last hairy fall of rain, so many eases hays dearred as to put the fact beyond all controverry."— Lamle Mercury says that in Yorkshire " the potatoes aw &pia found to be suffering from the mysterious disease andel destroyed them last year."—The Gloucester Jowled eiserree : Ravin seen statements alleging the prevalence at disease the growing cps in this neighbour = crops we have t it right to make as diligent eaansina- Oa add se reameal dries into the accuracy of these state- For Sabwrkey's Mamba stm hurt pogo.

One or two symptoms of disease on the leaf have been pointed out. SOUTHWAHE WATIRDWEI, JUNE 7.—The dew Palakaa that come to dds market are readily sold at the mama prioea.

" The fly, in consequence, much increased, but copious showers having since fallen, the bine has been thoroughly washed, and the hopes of the planters are greatly revived.—THE FARNHAM AND ALTON grounds era still reported to be growing rapidly, and but little attacked by the fly. Duty computed at 160,0001. The prices for best are but 61. to 61. 6s. per cwt. ; second quality, 61. 10s. ; Alton and Country, beat, N.; inferior ditto, el. 168.—AT ANDOVER AND WitYRILL holders are offering what they have left at a reduction of from 2s. to 6e. per cwt.—Hz:tr.— MAIDSTONE.—There has been an immense increase of fly within the last few days, as many as from five to twenty being found on a leaf. The bine in many instances is above the poles, and the storm of Saturday morning so saturated the ground, that the plant is in a very growing state. With the present fly the duty is not worth 100,0001: (old duty).— IP HTKAM AND SEAL.—The bine in this district is coming away well, except in some few gelding grounds, where the fly has eaten the fleet biases completely off; but, owing to the warm, hilarity weather during the last fortnight, they are fast recovering. WOOL.—LoNDON.—The market remains in the same quiet state, without any alteration in prices. The next public sales of colonial are to commence on the 10th inst., when about 22,000 boles will be brought forward. Very little difference in the English Wool trade; prices still hardly supported, and what few sales are made are in favour of the buyer. The general impression is, that the worst is past. BELADYOIII).—There is not the least improvemet in the demand for Wool, either in fleeces or sorts, awl the sales effected during the week have been unusually limited. The prices sought for new Wool quite preclude the hope of its being brought to the seat of consumption without a great charge. :Coils and brakes are not so active, and l►te prices barely maintained. • • • - Exrrea.—Although Wool may have been sold at a lower rate, we think we scarcely recollect this trade in a more de pressed state than at present. The manufacturers and factors, though they some into the market, appear to do so more from habit than any purpose of business, being altogether careless of purchase ; and Yolk Wool may be quoted nomi nally at from 7d. to 7 id. per lb. - - - - • - . aLtrax.—For long Wool the demand continues on the moat limited scale, and prices are rather receding. Short Wool remains about the same; the smallness of the quantity produced tending to prevent that reduction in price which the depressed state of the clothing trade would otherwise render inevitable. Llllo9.—The fine weather of the put week has produced a better feeling in the market for English Wool, but sales remain flat, and the tendency of prices is still downwards, although there is not any reduction quoted from lout week's prices. We have no improvement to notice in the demand for foreign Wools this week. Prices remain stationary. LEICISTEIL—Spinners still continue to work short time. Wools Temkin fist; staplers, waiting for shear-day, only buy for present demand. - - LVVERPOOL.—Siace the public sales of last week there has been little doing, and the trade are looking forward with some interest to the approaching public sales, to come off in London, en the 10th inst., when about 25,000 bake of coin. nial Wool will be offered. Mut of the East India with drawn at the late sales boo been sold. Alpaca is in more request. In Scotch the business is limited, at rather reduced prices. Imports for the week ending June 5: foreign, 50 bales; previously, 27,039; total, 27,089. Scotch, 84 bales ; previously. 4,624 ; total, 4,708. WAxertutti.—Without quoting any alterrtion in price., there has been rather more inquiry for Wool; but, upon the whole, the trade rules dull. YORI..—The Wool market commenced here for the seam with a asap show , which met with a dull sale, the holden submitting with reluctance to the prima offered. The prin• cipal salsa were mixed lots of hog and ewe, which varied from lls. 6d. to 13s. per stone. SKINS.—ANDOVER, JUNE s.—The Downs, best, yet in wool, sold this day at 4e. 3d. nth ; mixed, 3s. 9d. Ralf-bred, best, 41. 6d. ; inferior, 41. Fat Lamb Skins, best, 24. to 2s. ed ; small, per dozen, 2s. 6d. to 3s. Wattmeters', JUNE .- —Trade still depressed. Witecngsvas, Jong b.—This day the fellmongers' and tanners' collectors attempted to set the bargain price for the next three or four months, as of old, for every description of Sheep Skins, but the offer being 64. to Bd. a skin less than they gave for similar Skins last year, but few butches were willing to bind themselves. To-day the Skins in wool were sold on the decline ; 4s. to 4s. 3d. the top figure for Downs, and 4s. to 4s6d. for the bat Cotswold or 11&-bads. CATTLE, &C.—SMITHFIELD, Two i Cloek.—.- The supply of Beasts to-day is very small. All descriptions are dearer. In some Instances choice Scots have made Se. Bd. per 8 lbs. We have nearly 300 from Holland and Germany, 6 hem Spain, about 120 from Scotland, 1,200 from Norfolk and Sugalk, and 120 Lincolns ; the remainder from variom parts of the country. The number of Sheep and Lambs is not large for the time of year ; very little difference is dis cernible in the trade for the former. Best qualities, however, may be quoted a little higher. Lambs are more in demand, ' and the trade for them Las fully recovered from the depres sion experienced on Friday. Good Calves are scarce, and late prices are well maintained. From Holland and Ger many we have 840 Sheep and Lambs, and 35 Calves. The morning being cool is favourable for the Pork trade, which is brisk, at full prices. P 4644670 4 am a... ... 4.. 4.

THE opponents and semi-opponents of the govern ment measures for the reform of convict treatment, seem all to proceed on the supposition,•that these mea sures are contemplated as introducing a perfectly de finite and quite new system, which is to remedy all defects and solve all difficulties. It strikes us that Earl GREY and the Home Secretary are neither so dogmatical nor ambitious. What they propose is to suspend and discontinue such parts of the old system as have notoriously failed and led to abuse, and to try such substitutes for these as science, reflection, and practical experience suggest. Lord BROUGHAM'S and Lord MAHON'S objections, therefore, seem altogether misplaced. They affect to be horrified at the enormity of the change, and of its taking place without especial parliamentary inter ference, examination, and sanction. Now, there is nothing better than parliament and its committees for fathoming and exposing an abuse. Committee, have done this by the system of transportation, so as to make it inconceivable how rational men can cling to it. But to provide a remedy, to subetitute a new plan of discipline and treatment, far this, parliamentary dis cussion can do little; and we may adduce, as a proof, the stmaling, loose, and desultory debates of Thursday and Friday nights. Theorists are not wanting who propose certain schemes of prison discipline and reform. How can parliament test these ? The amount of our expe rience for the last years, is the impossibility of testing those schemes in the other hemisphere. If tested at all, they must be tested at home, and the preparations and precautions taken for doing this in Portland Island and elaewitsssim conjunction with Pentonville, appear to be the lust that could be devised. As to the objection of Lard MAHON against establishing bagnes in this country, and against rivalling the work ing classes on the coast, these are met by the state ment that the present is an experiment. If the true way be bit upon of managing prisoners in work-gangs for the public service and their own reform, this way may be afterwards practised in the colonies, or in any latitude. But decidedly it must first be worked and tried at home. If it is found to work well, except in the respect of the convict being too near home, and having facilities of escape, then the scene of probation must certainly be removed from our shores. The great expense, as well as the great difficulty, of all such schemes is surveillance, the instra meets of which are rare to find in the colo nies. In those remote regions, too, people who busy their minds with the state of convicts, range themselves infallibly into two classes—either the severe and the official, or the religious and humane. Viewing the great question of prison dis cipline from such very different points of view, these parties never work well together, but counteract, de nounce, and ridicule each other. The presence and inspection of an impartial home government is neces sary. Pentonville would have failed abroad. And we feel convinced, that if Norfolk Island had been in the position of the Isle of Man, Captain MAcorocHlE would have bad better success. As to the failure of Norfolk Island altogether, and its horrid results, the blame of this is to be cast upon no one system, but on the change from one to the other—on the promises held out to the convicts and then broken. Government, which is so completely muter of all that concerns convicts, is to them what providence is to free mankind. Were such ruling powers to show vacillating purposes, or commit a breach of faith, what demons would not all mankind become? There was one observation during the debate which seems important, but which we do not comprehend. It was asserted, as the opinion of the Bishop of TASMANIA, that convicts should be placed in work gangs first, and subjected to separate confinement afterwards. Surely such an opinion, coming from such an authority, ought not to be lowly and isolatedly flung before the public, without explanation or ar gument. Though far from prepared to condemn the system of Pentonville, we feel by no means perfectly , assured of its efficiency and gnomes. Any system of minute surveillance which actually precludes the possibility of temptation or wrong, coupled with such indulgence as commuting a prisoner's sentence, cutting off half its duration, and promising comfort and restoration to free life in prospect these are powerful incen tives, and at the same time guards for good conduct. Apply the same quantum of discipline and hope to the worst class in free life, and it will re claim them at least for the time. But is this a fair trial, or a true, or a permanent one? For our part, we are inclined to think that an infusion of Captain MACONOCIIIE'S principle of allowing more scope to the will and moral feelings of the prisoners, would be ss desirable at Pentonville, as in the subsequent pro- bationary stage of Portland Island. The great question of how and where to deal with convicts in the first instance, and how and where to dispose of them at last, are very distinct, very wide of each other, and very important. The attempt to embrace all in one debate has, perhaps, been the cause of the little utility of that debate, as far as information was elicited, or any thing like a resolve approached. The experiment of convict probation and reform is, however, much more advanced than the remoter one of how to dispose favourably of a convict population in the colonies. In fact, this last depends upon the first, and upon the efficacy of reform in the preliminary stages. If these prove effectual, colonial objections and home difficulties are solved. If they fail, we must inevitably recur to the maintenance of penal colonies. A MOVE is at length making to prepare for the approaching assembly of the Hungarian diet. Great interest attaches to this meeting ; for the government party, on account of the election of the new palatine, are for the liberal and independent party, in the hope that some serious measures of improvement will take place, which tend to assimilate Hungary to the highly civilized states of Western Europe. The govern. ment will, of course, propose the Archduke STEPHEN, who as yet has little personal influence, as he is very young ; but he is in every respect unobjectionable. The independent liberals will, of course, support the election of the archduke, as they have strength enough in their constitutional forms to' control the executive, and have no wish to shake the monarchical principle. Even the republican, or ultra- democratic party, would rather use the influence of the crown to destroy the nobility, than raise a pri- Tate nobleman to the dignity of palatine. The I palatine is an office for life, with emoluments equal to, and dignity surpassing, that of the Governor-' General of India, inasmuch as his supremacy extends over Europeans instead of Hindoos In speaking of Hungary, we meat bear in mind that this vast country is tenanted by several nations, not only differing in language and religion, but even geographically occupying distinct seats. The rich and fertile plains of the centre and the south-west are the home of the Magyars, or Hungarians proper, number ing more than four millions. These are for the most part protestant., owning good estates in excellent condition, producing corn, wine, and oil in abund ance. They are almost the only body of men who have preserved the essence of civilisation under the dangerous influence of material prosperity. They are a proud, energetic, and although rough-man nered, are a kind-hearted and inoffensive people, notwithstanding the formidable appearance of the know jackets and swords which they sesame at their public assemblies. Their activity of mind has been kept alive by their religious separation from their Greek and Roman catholic neighbours; as their chivalrous spirit was invigorated, down to the com mencement of the present century, by the wars with the Turks. The next people of numerical importance are the Slovacks, inhabiting the north-west mountains, a fine hardy nee for the most part catholics, and kir SONlienla to feudal servitude, under meting lords of the soil. In the northern eountriee there are many protestant& Bat the nobility, who are the large landowners, although mostly Roman Catholics throughout all Hungary, yet affect the distinctions of language and dress of the real Hungarians, in whom the strength of the nation lies. In the north of the Slovack 'Gantry, and amongst the Ruthenes of the Greek pannindas, in the north-east mountains, people talk at Hungary as if it were as distinct a country as the west of Ireland was from the pale under the STUARTS. The Slovacks of the north-west, and the Ruthenes of the north-east, are both Slovenians, and descend ants of the aboriginal inhabitants. The former number perhaps two millions the latter, in round numbers, one million. The W allachisas, an anoma lous remnant of the old Dacians, occupy a long strip to the east, and, perhaps, are also one million. The Myriam, or Croatians, and Servian immigrants, occupy the south, in cluding the fertile valleys of the Save and Drave, and the ancient province of Sirmium. Here is mate rial prosperity equal to that of the central plains ; but the mental vigour of these noes is confined to the nobility and gentry; the organisation of eoicety being of too patriarchal a nature to allow much free dom of thought to the undermost strata. The Illyrian, are nearly all catholica, and have hitherto been the best supporters of the crown in all measures ex cepting the concessions recently made to the protest ant liberals. In the grand question set at rest by the last diet, of parity of the religions persuasions, and legality of the mixed marriages, the Illyrian influence caused the Greek confession to be excluded from the law. The crown immediately seized the opportunity presented by this blunder of the popular assemblies, and reaped golden opinions by an imperial ordinance which extended the operation of the act to the chris: dans of the Greek church. The influence of the crown is founded upon tradi tional acquiescence throughout Hungary. It is powerful, too, from the immense patronage in wealth and honours that it exercises and holds the catholic body through the especially rich benefices of the Roman catholic charch, which is as well endowed as the Church of England. Hungary is consequently the only country besides England, where church prefer ment is sought by the aristocracy. With the pro testants the crown is all powerful when it displays a wish to respect the national rights, and allow mea sures really adapted to benefit the country to be intro duced. Linder the ministry of the present chancellor, the crown las followed this system. Consequently the Illyrian and violent conservatives now form the oppo sition. The ultra-liberals have little influence, and the moderate conservatives and moderate liberals join with the crown in all useful suggestions, and make its influ ence on such occasions paramount. Although this truly constitutional state of things is not very much relished at court or in Prince METTERNICA'S bureau, yet the Austrians have found one advantage, which partly reconciles them to it, as Hungary has never given them less trouble than since this course was introduced by Count SCECZENY. By the junction of this party with the crown, the peasants have been freed from many oppressive feudal burthens, have been allowed the privtleges of free men, in the right to purchase land, and to hold public offices. The parity of reli gions confessions was their work in the last diet. In the coming diet the grand measure is expected to be the subjection of the lands of the nobles to the land tax, and the abolition of the frontier duties levied between Hungary and the other provinces of the empire. On this extremely interesting subject more in a future article. AT last there seems to be a prospect that the public records will be properly housed ; that the nation will see its matchless collection of historical monuments taken out of that state of jeopardy to which .• Bo merchant of ordivary prudence would subject his books of account" It was satisfactory to hear from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER last week, that the preposterous notion was abandoned of making shift with any refuse room to be found in the Houses of Parliament. The present government have done wisely to give up this expensive crotchet of Mr. GouL BURN'S. For years the public records have been made the cat's-paw of the Victoria Tower. And even when it was aimitted by Mr. BARRY that the tower would not hold them, or even half of them, Mr. GOULBeRN still clung to using it as a make-shift as far as it would go, and erecting additional buildings adjacent! But at last this costly whim--for costly indeed it would have been, besides being of the most unapt kind,—has been given up, and the government have determined to give the nation a suitable repository, expressly built to accommodate its records. We have reason to believe that the site of the new building is by this time determined on, and that the record repository will be on the Rolls estate, in Chancery lane. This site, adjacent to all the inns of court, is certainly the best that could have been chosen for the convenience of the lawyers, who are the parties that have most need to search the records. We have under stood that the new building, a part of which is pro posed, it is said, to front Fleet-street, will be made conducive to the improvement and ornament of the metropolis, and possibly be connected with a new line of street projected by the City to branch from the w cat end of Cheapside and be situate midway between Holborn and Fleet-street. If the plans are matured thus far, i it is to be hoped that no unneces sary delay will take place in at once beginning the structure. The ground on the Rolls estate has been kept vacant and unprofitable for at least a dozen years whilst this question has been under dis cussion. An set will probably be necessary to obtain possession of all the ground requisite for the new building, necessarily very large ; but still, the commencement of it need not be postponed until the act is obtained, and we should regret that the present ministry, having been the first to give proper heed to this question, should not place their decision beyond jeopardy and secure to themselves the honour of founding the national record repo eitory, and the means of preserving the people's evi dences of their history, constitution, and rights for all , time. A small vote should therefore be taken even this session. There would be none that would be more generally approved. It might be certain that even Messrs. HUME and WILLIAMS would second the motion, for it is the worst kind of extravagance to be spending some 2,000!. a year for temporary accommo- L ' elation, watchmen, firemen, and precautionary mea sures, one instant longer than can be helped. Had the management of the public records been connected with party politics,wo should have had the repository built long ago. It will be all the more creditable to ; the present government, therefore, to be able to rank ; the erection of a public record-office among their ad ministrative improvements. The Paris journals of Friday and Saturday have reached us. It will be remembered that in the course of last year a new ministerial journal was established, bearing the title of L'Epoque, which was generally given out by its conductors to be more especially the personal organ of M. Guizot. Notwithstanding the re gular advantages which this paper enjoyed from its admitted ministerial character and other .till more solid advantages which it was believed to share from funds disposable by all ministers in France, it languished, and finally failed. In its dying hour its list ef sob scribers, and other property and advents...B,l4mm I bought by M. E. de Giranim, the editor and chief proprietor of La Prue, who, thereby, was let be- I hind the curtain of its stage machinery, and neces eerily allowed to share the secrets of its past history. M. do Girardin was then the friend and supporter of the Soult-Guizot cabinet. lie is now its inoet bitter enemy and unpitying assailant. Prompted, as it should seem, by a spirit of political hostility, be has lately, in one of the leading articles in La Preset, affirmed, that until its final absorption by La Preue, the journal L'Epoque had derived a part of its gains from "selling privileges of theatres" (that is to say, government licences or royal patents far theatres), " promises of peerages, and of titles of nobility, crosses of the legion of honour, midi/noes of the ministers, and even minis terial favours," the meaning of all which 14 that the said journal dispensed the patrassiti of the state for a pecuniary consideration ! Os this extraordinary statement appearing in La Prase, under the responsibility of M. E. de Girardin, • member of the Chamber of Deputies, a resolution was adopted by the Chamber of Peers to summon M. E. de Girardin to its bar, to answer for a contempt of the chamber; but for this it was necessary first is obtain the consent of the Chamber of Deputies, the alleged offender being a member of that house. This application was formally communicated to the cham ber on Friday, by a messenger of state, and the question was referred to a committee, to decide whe ther M. de Girardin should be authorised to present himself before the higher chamber. Before this com mittee M. de Girard= will be at liberty to produce his justification, and its report will be made accordingly. It appears that La Prase had net only affirmed that promises of the peerage were openly sold by L'Epoyee, but that there was a regular tariff or mar ket price for them, fixed at 80,000 f., equivalent to 3,200/. sterling! It was said in the Salle des Con ferences on Friday, and repeated in the journals of Saturday, that M. Emile de Girardin had been heard to declare, in the Chamber of Deputies, en Thursday, in the midst of a numerous group of his colleagues, that he actually had in his possamon svi dance to prove that a sum of eighty thousand hums had been paid at the office of the Epoque for pro mises of the peerage, and that each promises bra been made with the full cognisance of a minister. I It is contended on the part of M. de Girardin, that his assertion does not affect the dignity of the higher chamber, but only the honour of the minister to whom such corruption is ascribed, and that conse quently the lower chamber will not consent to his prosecution by the peers. Be this as it may, we shall be enlightened by the committee of the chamber I before another day passes. The ministerial repose is disturbed also from ano ther quarter. A Marseilles journal, known to receive the personal confidence of Marshal Bugeaud, an nounces that, "availing himself of the royal permis sion, graciously conceded to him in advance, the Governor of Algeria has resigned the cares and re sponsibilities of his exalted position, and is about im mediately to return to France." It is added, that a seat will be provided for him in the cabinet. It will be remembered that the marshal has just returned .from a military incursion on the peaceable popula tion of the Kabyles, having carried fire and the sword through their villages and towns, and reduced them to a forced submission and tribute; and that this expedition was undertaken and executed in the face of the declared disapprobation of the representative chamber, and of the scarcely less ex plicit disavowal of the cabinet. After the expedition became un fail accompli, but not until then, and until the presence of M. Bugeaud in Paris was imminent, M. Guizot reluctantly, and at the eleventh hour, ac cepted the responsibility of it. The government project of law for the continuance of the unrestricted importation of provisions till next October, with liberty to protract it still longer, at the discretion of the cabinet, has been modified in the committee. It was to be distributed on Friday to the Chamber of Deputies. M. Leon Faucher and M. Blanqui have presented an amendment, to the effect that the laws shall remain in operation to 31st July, 1848 and that, up to the same date, the import duty on oxen, cows, heifers, calves, sheep, led pigs shall be reduced to 25e. per h ee d. and that meat of all descriptions, whether fresh c; salted, shall only pay a duty of 23e. per 100 kilo. grammes. The chamber objects to give the die. cretionary power to the cabinet, but meets the dim culty by extending the present freedom of impoei e , tion absolutely till next February, at which time the Chamber will be again in session, and may be appli e d to foe a further extension if required. It is stated in the opposition journals that M. Thiers has proposed and carried ix the bureaux an impork e t modification of the project of law of the tariff. This modification has been adopted almost unanimously i n the bureaux. It includes the following heads: —t, A reduction of the duties on coffee and sugar. 2. A duty to be laii on unwrought British copper, with view to favour the importation of copper from South . • The Duke of Montebello, who has just arrived i n Paris, has been sworn into office as Minister of Maritie and the Colonies. The correspondence and journals of Madrid cos. Sane to be destitute of any other interest than such as arises from the intelligence of the existence of the same estrangement and separation of the Queen end her consort. The latter still continues at the Pardo the former at Madrid. The Nuncio had arrived, and become the object of the most respectful attentions oa the part of the Ministers of State sad other authori- ties. This prelate is reported to be animated nits the most conciliatory spirit. It Was admitted, even in circles opposed by party to the measure, that govern ment had decided on restoring Espartero to his rant and honours, and inviting his return to his country, as well as that of a great number of other officers now L e I exile. The protocol for the intervention in Portugal, formed the subject of conferences in the cabinet ana with the Portuguese ambassador, Cosset De Thome (Costa Cabral), at which several questions of &tiff were settled. PARIS. The Chamber of Deputies has just rejected, after four days' debate, the proposal presented by M. Bizouio, for establishing a uniform taxation of 20 centimes (2d.) upon the transmission of letters through the French post-office. The majority was but a slight one, and, in order to obtain even that, government found itself under the necessity of T h. Whig the convictions of its own partisans, by invoking the plea of state necessity. The absolute majority out of 349 voters was 175; and the ministry, which in general possesses a majority of 90 or 100, only obtained on this occasion 187 votes. Several members, about 30 in number, remained absent from the chamber, being equally unwilling to vote against theirconvictions, or be instrumental in giving a check to the minion!. Reform, has in fact, bbeeeen adjourned—not rejrcted. The ministry will br obliged next session to propose the same measure to the chambers; such a heists . tion is, indeed, required at their hands from public opinion, which has shown itself favourable to reform in 76 out of 86 councils general, and in the Chamber of Deputies, where, notwithstanding an adverse vote, unanimity generally prevails in its favour. Before the adoption of the uniform rate of postage in England, the average of the graduated tax, accord ing to distance, was 81d., or 83 centimes; that of France at present is 45 centimes, or ltd. This scale comprises eleven different zones, in each of which the charge rises in a ratio of 10 centimes (Id.). This, a letter, weighing under a quarter of an ounce, and brought by post a distance of 40 kilometres (25 miles), pays 20 centimes (2d.) ; the same letter, carried be 40 kilometres, and as far as 80 kilometres (50 miles) pays 30 centimes (3d.) ; from 130 kil. to 150 (93 mires), 40 cent. (4d.) ; from 150 kil. to 220 (136 miles), 50 cent. (5d.); from 220 to 300 kit. (187 miles), 60 cent. (6d.) ; from 300 to 400 kil. (248 miles) 70 cent. (7d.) ; from 4110 to 500 kil. (310 miles), 80 cent. (8d.); from 500 to 600 kil. (375 miles), 90 cent. (9d.); from 600 to 750 kiL (465 miles), 1 franc (10d.); from 750 to 900 kiL (558 miles), If. 10c. (11d.); and beyond 900 kiL, IL 20c. (nearly a shilling.) When letters, instead of remaining in a dish ibeting office, had to be sent into the rural parishes, an addi tional tax of 10 cent. (Id.) was taken. This addl. tional penny was, however, abolished in 1846; mad the rural service, a moat expensive one, in whirl upwards of 10,000 postmen were employed daily, k carried on without any additional expense to the receiver of letters. The abolition of this penny es caused a loss to the treasury of three millions of ft= per annum. On the Ist of January, 1847, the pay ment on money orders was diminished from 5 to 2 per cent ; and the consequent increase in this deport. ment has been such as to compensate for the reduction. A few years ago, the postage on a letter from Lon don to Faris cost 2 francs. Since the postage has been reduced to 1 franc, the number of letters has doubled, and the revenue remains the same. The poat-office authorities in France have made treaties with foreigt powers which are a step towards uniform postage : As, for instance, lettere from England to the East, pro France, only pay a postage of 20 centimes per single letter, from Calais to Marseilles, whilst a letter from Paris to Marseilles costs 1 franc 10 centimes. Accord ing to the terms of a recent convention, letters ad dressed from France to Geneva, or Bile, or from either of those towns to any portion of the French territory, when poet.-paid, only coat 30 centimes; whereas, a letter addressed to Mulhausen, for instance, costa 70 centimes. The French, therefore, at a mile from the frontier, pay double the postage which the Swim do for letters carried in the same mails. This has given rise to a proposal made by the mer chants of Bale to those of Mulhausen, to forward their letters via Bale, upon payment by the latter to the former of one-half the profits to be made by the transaction. When the inhabitants of Mules* aw co po m rory er plain w oo as ed e, thagiofvtithogisthoelineilrang:tlieteyoomodenfetrotliso:utdmthohenut'tt asothetraeia: portant reduction was at hand. In England, before Mr. Rowland Rill's reform, the papers were the only prints which were posted free. Every other species of print should pay as letters, a very high rate of postage. This gave rise to eon siderable*auds. Now in France, on the contra* that uniform postage which has been rejected for letters exists for all kinds of prints.
