MOH WATEK AT 1..t0N VON PRIDOI Tun W,—Nowslas. ...... Afterses. 11.. :7.. termer —lleraler 1443 a. Allerseee. 34 fn. LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 17. Stn. FITZROY KELLY is trying again ;—but not at llarwich this time. No man can doubt his abilities, his legal attainments, and supersubtlety. Ilia large success in his profession is patent to every one—self won, too, in spite or an almost unknown origin, of disagreeable incidents from the period he first attracted attention, and a notorious and almost unprofeuional greed for large fees. Vet. some how or other, few respect this eminent lawyer—few regard him as a sincere, earnest man ; and so little has he been esteemed throughout his career, that, facile as legal success generally makes parliamentary honour, Sir F. KELLY has never been creditably connected with any single const it uency, and has been kept out of the House of Commons fur session after session and parliament aPer parliament. when his inferiors at the bar, because Ins superiors is mural qualities, have been honourable and regularly seated there ; winning their way to juilicial honours. And bow could it be otherwise; seeing that the man is utterly devoid of all sense of propriety; and that he treats constituencies as bodies to be bought and used, just as briefs are so many sheets of paper to be read and studied in accordance with the quid dam Al.i4 /I`ll/;111/1 marked outside. Just look at the gross indecency of his present conduct. First or all. he proclaimed himself a tory candidate fur Exeter at the general elec tion. 'Then, when a new writ was issued for dirty Ilorwich. he deserted Exeter without a word of explanation or apology, thew all the enthusiasm he had managed to rouse there aside as carelessly and indifferent as her ladyship does soiled gloves, and started—in a great speech inconvenient to none more than to Lord Denny—for Harwich. There was, at all events, a moral, or rather an immoral, Shwa is this new love; for if Harwich is to continue to defile the constitution, who so appropriate a mem ber as he who corrupted Ipswich, and could not buy Lyme liciris ' The like to the like. But when congenialey occup ied at Harwich, poor I.ord RENOLL,II.43I d ied, and a vacancy occurred for East Suffolk ; and , kic king aside the Harwich blues, off star a the perambulating Sir FITERUT to Woodbridge, and becomes a candidate for that division of a county. Why. a traveling pedlar dies not act thus; whilst ordinary men, to say nothing or gentlemen, would shrink (ruin such brazen audacity as issuing in one month three addresses to three different constitu encies, and professing to each that to represent them in parliament is the highest ambition of his life. 'Mere is perhaps hardly a second man in England who could do so. Yet so capriciously constituted are Sir Fetzitoe moral feelings, that, oar word ler it, he does not know he is doing anything wrong or indecent. East Suffolk is in the nature of the largest fee ; that's all. It is the scandal of " Huron e. lien man" over again. And listen to the offensive purse-proud nonsense this man of great fees talked to the Suffolk farmers ; I have been able to understand the principle upon which it is, that we who lire in town., however large may be the incomes we peeress, occupying houses exceeding the rents of firms of 100 arms, fit! not the burthen of poor rate and tithe., thst our contributions to those exigencies of the state are so small, so inconsiderable, that we are almost inwnsible of their exi.t,nce, while the landowner and occupier, who ha. to grow his corn, and to grow it in competition with those untaxed and unburdened growers of corn in foreign eountric., labours under the necessity by law of coutributing. perhaps, 19 , 20ths of the entire sum rai.ed throughout tireat Britain, both fer poor-rates and Bear this, inhabitants of London and great towns! We are all so rich mid well off that we " feel not" the burden of local rates and taxes ; they are rather pleasant and agreeable to us than otherwise. Time wo., we dare say, when poor FITZROY KELLY thought otherwise, for they do say even this now successful lawyer once kept a humble shop in Mary lebone ; and small shopkeeikis there do not speak in this way of their rates. At all events, shopkeeper or not, he his had to struggle and cut out hie own road to fortune ; and for him now, when he has just taken the biggest hotel in Piccadilly, and " occupies a house exceeding the rents of farms of 400 acres," to tell the farmers of Suffolk that " we who live in towns" do not feel the weight of local taxes, "so small, so inconsiderable, and so insensible" are they, is a piece of impertinence for which the only excuse is " Set a bezgar on horseback and he rides to the devil." Hut tithes, according to Sir FITZROY KELLY, are burdens on the farmer that must be reduced " if it be found impracticable to restore the corn-law." Silty Sir Ftnaor ; don't von know that as the corn averages go down, the blirthen of the tithe root charge, which does not, however, fall on farmers, is proportionably reduced: and that, though for a winle the clergy have had the benefit of high sep tennial averages, they are now about to experience the effect of low prices? Hut the man of law, addressing fanners, places tithes and pooh' rates on a level; he would not do so in Westminster-hall ; there he would describe tithes as hereditament', not us taxes. And so they are. Once, to be sure, they operated in the nature of a tax on agricultural improvement. But that, thanks to the legislation of the liberal party, they no longer do. Anything, however, to delude the yokel.. Maynooth or tithes; protection or abolition of special burthens, it is all the same to Sir Frrzßoy KELLY —the great propounder of political baldeedash; the man who "occupies a honee exceeding the rents of farms of 400 acres," and does not know what the rates and taxes on it are. And then what a picture he drew of the weight of local imposts on farmers ; setting again facts and figures and such like stubborn things at defiance. Why, in the course of the last half-oentury these burthens on Foray 'cultural land have been more and more to real property, not agricul tural. In 1806 the value of agricultural land was three-fourths ei the value of all the realty in Great Britain ; whims in 11160 it waa but one-half. The comparative pines, et local rates upon agricultural land, must theredne have diminished IMO 1806 ; and it is we, the hwassbabiers, who feel its pressure now laboro than the limn do. sir FITZROY KELLY has a huge respect, he says, for the late ek ROBERT PEEL ; a respect which the deceased status= did not, if rumour be correct, at all reciprocate. Mr ItooPERT was a great mac, a good man, a profound minister; hut, according to Sir FIT/110Y. utterly wrong in the chain g act of his useful life. Sir Vir/sor did not then think St); for he was Solicitor-General under Pref. when the Corn Bill of 1845 became law, and he did not resign office. New lights have, however, opened on him now. Sir ROBERT was only right in 11441 ; then his principles arc thus stated by Sir FITZROY. That there should he in the fine place • swell proper- Wined equality In the effect of their reelections upon the art.cles theseelese upon which the duties were iepealed ; And secondly, and mole importantly, • well proportioned ;Me* et 21:tstrictly upon ' w t re Mew" reference al o to duties cmentsd. Heaven help as' Here is a roundabout way of telling us that Sir Itoar.st Part., in the earlier years id* his government, tried to keep wheat steady to .118. a rafter by act of parliament. But ho could nit ; ha statute failed ; in spite of its intention wheat in Irll.l went up to famine prices ; and Sir RT Parr. renounced a fallacy which all Sir FITLIIIOT Krt.ves special pleading will not induce the legislature to try their hand at again. And so to the special burthens part of the mutter RP must some. Hut where arc they? A committee of the House of Lords tried hard to . tliseover in lsl6, hut could not. Mr. 111.1RACLI is a great conjuror i perhaps be will tell us when be opens his first ht.dget. With consols at par, there is no saving what so great a master of the magic art may do.

FRANOti -I 4 P DAT rune ; lg li ber in-lf t gussii.or Lo hotel I hear at this moment that in the dying moments of Prince Paul the papal nuncio of IL urtemberg, to the surprise and scandal of everybody, entered the chamber of the hotel where the nearest friends and relations of the deceased, whose family is protestant, were gathered. Madame do Monthysury, the prince's natural daughter, then announced to the company that the prince had abjured p rotestantism and embraced the Roman catholic religion. Great scandal and a painful impression was caused among the relatives of the deceased by this sudden dis closure. The members of the family of Nassau protested energetically against the clandestine abjura tion snatched from the prince in a moment when ho was in the gimp of death, and immediately retired. The nuncio administered the sacraments, the recep tion of. which disqualified the prince for succession in case of survival to the throne of Wurtemberg. Marshal Gerard has received to day the lust sacra ments of the church. Ills recovery is regarded as hopeless. 'lle First Chamber of the Civil Tribunal of the Seine was crowded to-day with persons curious to hear the case of the seizure of the domains of Neuilly and Monceaux debated between the advocates of the house of Orleans and the legal functionaries of the government. I informed you in my letter of Satur day last that on that day the officers of the domain proceeded to take possession of the confiscated estates La question, and I mentioned the re. sistanee of the bailiffs and servants of the house of Orleans to this commencement of the execution of the decree of Jan. 22. To-day was heard, before the above mentioned court, presided by M. IM-Bellevme, the commencement of an action brought by the heirs of the late King Louis Philippe against die administration of the domains of the State on account of the seizure of the estates of Neuilly and Moaccaux. MM. lkrrycr and Paillet presented themselves on behalf of the Orleans family, and were assisted by M. Dupla, senior, and M. Odi lon Barrot. They argued the invalidity of the seizure, and demanded that judgement shOuld go by default against the administration of the state do mains, on whose behalf no one appeared. M. Des matures, substitute of the procureur of the republic, denied the competence of the tribunal. The advo cates of the Orleans family complained that this ob jection had not been communicated to them. The tribunal then adjourned to next Friday, that the ob jection of incompetence might bo communicated in the meantime. The pleadings will be then continued. I hear that several distinguished professional men have refused the oath of fidelity to the President as well as M. Martin de Strasbourg. Among these are M. Villemain, secretary of the Academy ; Jules Simon, professor at the Sorbonne, and formerly mem ber of the constituent assembly ; Boissonnarele, pro- fessor at the Sorbonne, and a celebrated Greek scholar; Boussingault, member of the Academy of Sciences, and professor at the" Cotner vatoiro des Arts , et Metiers ;" and several professors of rhetoric in the colleges of Paris. The following passage of the 21foniteter de TArtnie the official military journal, has been much noticej to-day : The grand ceremony of the 10th of May will be an ad mirable military fete, in which the entire army will be re presented. and will give to the head of the state a fresh as surance of its devoted concurrence towards all the great measures which are about to lift society upon a solid and durable base. It i+ impossible that language can speak clearer the intention of the army to propose the empire ; these words admit of no other interpretation. What is to be the President's demeanour in the presence of this demonstration, and how is he to make good his speech of March 29 at the Tuilerit s. It is said that he will make a speech, in which he will take a note of the acclamations, and declare that ho will wait " unless his hand should be forced." In the meantime, this great military file absorbs public attention. Yester day the ,Nlinister of War, accompanied by General Magnan and the commanders of the divisions of the army of Paris, repaired to the Champs de Mars, and inspected the ground, and ordered the principal arrangements to be made for the Pte. An altar will be erected in the midst of the square, mass will be celebrated in the open air, u in the great civic Ptes of the first revolution, and then the distribution of 1 the eagles will commence, upon the same spot where the Emperor in person performed this function after his coronation. The Bulletin de Paris has published, and the jour nals in the service of the government have received orders to insert an article, which represents Louis Napoleon and France as bound by a joint obligation to demand from foreign newspapers a more respect ful language towards the government of the Prince President, and announces that it is because impossi ble any longer to tolerate their insulting attacks. The following is an extract of this article, which makes much noise: . . Let us suppose for a moment that the question were put in this way. But will our German and English brethren deny that France has twice acclaimed the policy of the Peltier, has made it her own, has solemnly adopt. .d it on the 20th of December, and has not less solemnly confirmed it by the election of • Corps Legislatif devoted to Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. There is a manifest, historical, in contestable consecration. It is then prifectly evident that the Prince is the elected of the onnntry, that the country and the Prince represent the same interests, the same flag, that to attack the one is to attack the alter, that it is impossible to insult the chief of • great nation without insulting the nation itself, and that, if the Prince personally disdains these attacks, _France could no longer tolerate them. The muscle of M. Fortoul against beards and mustachios is to be followed up by orders from all the heads of the civil administrations to their eni pler,s to apply the razor forthwith to chin and lip, and make a clean shave of it. The army is to enjoy, as under the empire, the exclusive privilege of cul tivating those hairy ornaments. The Corps Legislatif met to-clay. at three o'clock. M. Billault was in the chair. The minutes of the last sitting were confirmed. M. de Morey, who was elected in two departments of the Puy de Dome, declared his option to sit for Clermont-Ferrand. The president communicated to the house two decrees of she President of the Republic, referring the definitive budgets of 1848 and 1819 to their consideration. Conformably to precedent the two bills will each be referred to a committee of 14 members (two mem bers from each bureau). N. I)evinck then read hie report upon the Copper Coinage Bill. The report alludes to the general recognition at va rious periods of the necessity of recoining the copper money. The committee had felt called upon to examine the question in several points of view-1. The necessity of the operation. 2. The choice of the metal to be employed. 3. The weight of each piece of money. 4. Its form, 5. The finan cial results of the operation. Upon the four first points the committee was unanimously of opinion that the proposition of the government should be adooted, and it had rejected an amendment having for its object to alter the size of the centime so us to distinguish it in size from silver pieces of 20 centimes. Upon the last point amendments had been presented with the view of modifying the amount proposed to be expended by the government, by allowing private enterprise to compete with the public mints in the i new coinage. This amendment the committee bad ' thought fit to reject. The committee had, however, introduced an amendment which had been adopted by the council of state, to the effect that an a cco unt of the results of the operation should be presented every year. With this single modification, the com mittee proposed that the bill should pass. 'f he report was ordered to be printed, and the debate will take place on Monday. The president then announced that the results of the inquiry into the subject of the existing regulations of the butchers' trade will be very shortly communicated to the house, and that a bill founded upon that inquiry will be presented. The order of the day being exhausted, the home then rose at four O'ehsk. and adjourned till Monday. The l'afrie publishes a list of the senator's that have received dotations. differing in two or three instances from that which I sent you. General St. Arnaud and Mason nod M. Dumas arc not in the corrected list, which contains, besides the names I sent, Jerome Bonaparte, with :10,000fr., and General Ordener, with 20.000 fr. .

The hetftnes are to be raMected to surveillance, and both they and the sureeilles are to present them- selves once a fortnight before the local authori ties of the place in which they reside. They are not to leave the department, even for a temporary pur pose, without permission, and the prefect of the de partment to which they may . wish to go is to be in formed when the permission is granted. The prefects are to display great severity with respect to demands to visit Lyons and the neighbourhood, or Versailles, and are to display great reserve in grunting authori sations to visit the departments of the Allier, the Basses Alpes, the Ardkhe, the Cher, the Remelt, the Indre, the Nievre, and the Var. The minister reserves to himself alone the power of givin g autho risations to visit Paris or its banlieue , and Intimates that they will only be granted as an exceptional favour, in very serious cases. The Moraileur contains the appointment, by the Minister of the Interior, of a committee of 10 persons to examine applications for permission to form mort gage banks, and to settle the statutes of those socie ties. A communicated note in the Moniteur in forms the persons who have sent in application, to the government that they are to be immediately examined by the commission. A new telegraph office for private messages will be opened on Monday, at No. 83, Rue Richlieu, front 10 o'clock to O. The IN - or:nide, a journal of Douai, has received an official warning from the prefect of the North, in consequence of an article upon the sugar duties. It l ie obvious, says the prefect, that the object of ,the article in question was not so much candidly to exa mine the commercial merits of the recent decree as to Barry on hostile polemics against the President of the Republic, and to excite in citizens a spirit of disaffection towards him. The Belgian legation at Paris has made known that it is indispensable for persons proceeding to Bel gium to obtain the visa of the Belgian legation or consulates to their passports. In addition to taking measures for preventing Frenchmen, expelled from France, from entering Belgium, the Belgian govern ment has ordered that all foreigners resident in the country must get their passports signed by Belgian authorities. Tho term of the imprisonment of M. Prondhon haring expired, he kas been exiled into Belgium, and Bastogne has been fixed as his place of re sidence. The DOsats has the following on tho tables pub lished yesterday by the Manitear, showing the im provement in the public revenue. The lAlats does not, like the Condilutionnel and the Pays, which have articles on the same subject, take an exulting view of the improvement, but says: The Monifeur has published the returns of the revenue for the first quarter of the present year, as compared with the corresponding periods of 1050 and 1861. We see with satisfaction that these useful publications will not be inter rupted, and we find in the one now before us a fresh proof of what we said the other day when expressing a wish to see them continued; confidence and credit, which are the first bases of governments, cannot but gain by giving publicity to documents which act as a thermometer of public furtune. The indirect revenues, the numb/8 of which stands in the budget at 780.900,000 fr., and in the modified one of the committee at 771,836,0001 r., according to its now-discussed report, shows an increase of 13,500,000 fr. on the first quarter of 1850. It is known that several laws applied since 1860 have materially modified certain branches of our taxes. The comparison between that year and the present cannot offer much interest. We shall therefore confine ourselves to 1011. The increase, of the quarter of this year as compared with the corresponding one of 1851 is six millions. This is an excellent result, and we are happy to state it. This improvement arises from the Customs duties for 3,647,000 fr. ; from the duty on potable liquors fur 1,000,0001 r.; from the sale of tobacco for 1,000,0004. ; and from the postage on letters for 660,000 fr. The au2mentation of 3,647 000 fr. in the Customs deities implies the en trance into France of a considerable mass of raw materials to supply employment to our manufactories and wages to our working classes ; sad the increase of two millions on potable liquors and tobacco shows an increase in the wages and comforts of the people. Sugars show no augmentation, but they present a very great variation. Colonial sugars have produced 2.144,0001. more, but there is a falling off of 2,260,0001 r. in the home-made article. In the registration dues there is a &mem, of 164,1100 fr. The stamp duties have produced an increase of 29.5,000 tr. As compared with 1860 the sugmentation I. 2,500,000 fr. ; the registration dues and the stamp duties arc the branches of revenue which have been the most affected by the final laws of 1050. The increase on the guano! has /ire . : 0,115,000(r. It is important to observe how results are divided between the months of the quer ter. We still confine our comparison between 1862 and 1851. The registration dues in January showed a di minution of 2 millions; in February, they remained -sta tionary at about 79,01/ate.; bat in March they regained 1,767.0001 r. The stamp duties lost 2,000fe. in January, and 336,000 fr. in February, but in March it regained 635,000 fr. The increase of 3,647,000(r. in the customs duties is pretty equally divided between the three months. It is nearly the same with colonial sugars. Nevertheless, the increase which was 717,0001 r. in January, and only 480,0004. in February, rapidly rose in March to 947,0001,. Home made sugars show an almost parallel movement. The decrease is 439,0001 r. in January, 475,100 fr. in February and 1,3.1.4,000 ft. in March. As to foreign sugars, February shows a decrease of 202,0001 r., and March an increa e of 173,00Ufr. The export trade slackened in January and February, and the improvement in March only pro duced a slight increase of 15,000 fr. The increase on potable liquor* was only 135,000 fr. in January; in February it was 610,000 fr., and in March 414,000 tr. On tobacco it was 164,000 fr. in January, 610,000 fr. in February, and 326,000 fr. in March. The improvement on the receipts for postage is principally confined to March. In a word, dunes March, all the different items show an increase, with the exception of home-made sugar, on which there is a material decrease. It is needless for us to observe that this result is the consequence the law voted last year by the Legislative Assembly, and which has just been modified by a recent decree. _ . At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. fell 10e , clnaing at 101.20; the Three per Cents. fell 5c., and closed at 72.30. The railway market was well supported.

ROME, Aram 10. .Ifisereres, benedictions, processions, exhibi ions of relics, and similar religious ceremonies without number, have occupied the Pope and his ecclesias tical court during the whole of this week, attracting thousands of eunous spectators from every quarter of the globe. The crush and beat in the Sixtine Chapel and in St. Peter's have been unexampled, but people cannot see his Holiness wash pilgrims' feet and serve them at table every day, so that they are resolved to make the most of the present opportunity. Some French exiles of various political denominations are amongst the visitors to the Eternal City, so that re publicans, imperialists, and legitimists, are to be seen clustering indiscriminately around the gorgeous baldacchino of St. Peter's. French influence being uppermost in this city, the ladies of that nation are better treated than others, having a se i se:ate com partment in the ladies' seats, railed off and guarded by French soldiers. The French ambassador like wise takes precedence of all his diplomatic brethren in approaching the papal throne, either from his official rank, or from the droit du pieta fort. This morning has been employed by most of the English sightseers in witnessing the baptism and reception into the bosom of the Roman church of one of their countrymen, Mr. Charles Manning, brother of the archdeacon, in the baptistery of St. John Lateran. It is customary every year on the recurrence of this day to have some Jew or Mussul man in readiness to receive Christian baptism in the baptistery of St. John, and scandal-lovers have re marked that the same Jew usually officiates in the " ceremony. This time, however, they can have no such grounds for sneering, a lon ;Ale heretic having occupied the place of the Israelite. What is moat extraordinary in the conduct of these converts is the regularity with which they attend the English pro , testant chapel up to the very day of their abandoning it for ever and embracing the worship of Rome. It having been a practice in Rome to discharge tin arms on this day, Monsignor Eufini has judged it opportune to put forth a notification prohibiting any such commemoration of the Saviour's resurrection. The police authorities have likewise published a notification, inviting lorksmit hs to send in tenders for the immediate furnishing of five hundred pairs of handcuffs. the number of prisoners being so great that there arc not irons for them all. roa, APRIL 17, 1; A British subject was. yester l da u t eveming, initiate d . into the smear of a Roman widther Waal taken by a patrol of Frenc soldiers. The corer mundane de la place politely sent his aide-de-camp to the British consul this morning, informing him of the eircumstance, and stating that the prisoner hod been arrested for offering violence to a French sentry, on duty at the Colosseum, by insisting on forcing a passage, and raising his stick in opposition to thevoldier's bayonet. Mr. Freeborn iatmediately sent his secretary to the Monte Citorio prison, and discovered that the prisoner was Mr. Martin O'Keane, an Irish tangent lathe Sapienza University in this city, and a Roman catholic. Ho admitted the main facts of the ease, but denied having used much violence, and pleaded excitement at seeing the sal die?, bayonet presented at him. The arrival of the secretary happened very opportunely to save Mr. I O'Keane from being sent off to the galley slave 1 , prison of the Thermo, in company with a band of 1 robbers and pickpockets, who had been just captured, the stirri being very unceremonious with prisoners who happen to fall into their clutches, and taking no pains to distinguish degrees of culpability. General Gemeau will no doubt treat the case with indulgence on the representation of the consul. The negociations between the Roman court and that of l'icdmont, with respect to the differences pending in ecclesiastical matters, arc again reduced to the former status quo, after having given rise to some temporary hopes that the misunderstanding might have been satisfactorily arranged through the 1 mediation of Cardinal Orioli, who, before Carnival, sent for the Sardinian minister, and expressed to him the anxiety of His Holiness to settle the ques tion, and his own willingness, as one of the commis sioners appointed, to facilitate it by every means in his power. Unfortunately this well disposed cardi nal died shortly after, and Cardinal Antonelli has subsequently exerted his ingenuity, as the adverse lawyer did in the case of "Pee' les r. Plainstaines," in piling up once more the accumulated obstacles which the goodwill of the litigants was beginning to remove, the Pope, as usual, unsaying, through the medium of Antonelli, what he had previously said through the medium of Orioli. BELGIUM. The Inde'pendance, in confirming the statement that the frontier has been closed to expelled French men, adds that all strangers visiting Belgium must hc necforth have their passportsattested by the Belgian authorities. The priestly party is endeavouring to excite the faithful against the government, on account of an order lately issued for selling a house at Mons, which the bishops of the diocese have been permitted to occupy in succession for 30 years. It appears that the permission was conditional upon the maintenance of the fabric in a state of repair, but this obligation not having been fulfilled, the re sumption of the property has taken place as a natural consequence. The clerical prints, how ever, declaim of spoliation, and remind all proprie tors that, under the rule of the convention, the confis cation of the property of the church was followed by that of private individuals. M. d'Ardoye, Russian Consul-General in Belgian, has le ft for St. Peters burg. M. I'roudhon passed through Namur on :the 14th to Bastogne, the residence assigned him as a political refugee. GERMANY. BERLIN, Arita 14. Tho news that Dr. Bach has been appointed "pre siding minister," not "president of the ministry," is regarded as a proof, firstly, that the emperor will re tain the direction of the cabinet in his own hands, and not confer on anybody the full power enjoyed by the late Prince Schwarzenborg; secondly, that the system of Prince Schwarvenburg will he con tinued in all points, as far, at least, as may be pos sible after the loss o f the presiding spirit. Dr. Bach was the person who most fully participated in the late prince's views, and was the main coadjutor in his system, which differed materially from that of Metternich, who cautiously preserved local privileges and traditional institutions, while Sohwarzenberg, on the contrary, has aimed at centralisation and uniformity of administration throughput all tho heterogeneous elements of the Austrian states. The ministerial crisis in Hanover has ended with the retirement of the two representatives of the cavalier reactionary party.

Silt,—When I wrote to you my last letter, I did not imagine that I should have so soon to announce a great triumph of Popery and Jesuitism in Prussia. In the greatest protestant state of Germany, in Prussia, the minis try, instigated by Jesuitical influence. have suppressed the first free catholic congregation of Germany at Breslau, and are proceeding against the others. How I wish that I could express my feelings about this defeat of liberty and humanity in the English language, as I can do it in the German, and that I could convince all the noble minded sons of England that there is a greater love fur protestantiam and religious liberty than can be well imagined. The free religions congregations were strong bulwarks against popery in Germany ; and as they are broken down, motestantuim will be attacked by the hierarchy, supported by the diplomacy of Austria, with all fury and revenee, and we will soon hear repeated the cries from the catholic priests, which they raised in the years 1843-44, before the new reformation began, " that in a few years the whole of Germany will be subjected to the Pope !" But we w ill soon learn this by other signs than words. The progress of catholicism in Prussia is the progress of Austria in Ger many; and we may perhaps very soon read about the preparations for the coronation of a new German Em peror. Everybody knows how weak and confined the Prussian ministry has been in comparison with the diplomacy of Austria since the stipulations of °haute. With regard to the suppression of the free congregation of Breslau, I quote some passages of a letter which I have just received : "As I write to you this letter, the police have closed the first free catholic congregation which you formed in Ger many after your letter against the adoration of the holy coat at Teens. At the same time they have dissolved the whool of our congregation, and neat Sunday the Jesuits will preach in Breslau. The catholic priests and the Austrian party see triumphing. You will feel for us and know how deep is our grief. For more than seven years you worked in Silesia and Germany with great success, and the arrogant catholic hierarchy was silent. For the new reformation we have now the Jesuits. The Prussian ministry must be mere Jesuitic tools, or the King must already be a secret catholic. Surely it is not possible, that a real protestant ministry could be so blind as, by suppressing the free catholic congre gation., to break down the strongest bulwarks for Prussia against popery and Austrian diplomacy. This is the sins of Austria, to weaken and to humble Prussia and protee. Within), and our ministry is foolish enough to prepare the way to the imperial crown of Germany for the house of Hapsburg. " The Jesuits have preached with great success in many towns of Silesia, and the King of Prussia does not ace that he is dishonouring the battle-fields of Frederick the Great for protestant liberty! Catholicism makes daily progress, and very soon you will learn its victories in the North of Germany. The greater number of newspapers are silent about these proceedings, fearing to be suppressed. Many praise the speeches of the Jesuits to obtain their grace end favour. The press is now worse than in the time of the old censerebip, because every newspaper is in danger to lose the caution-money. " It was a heartbreaking moment when the school of our congregation was dissolved. Two hundred and thirty children cried stood, weeping tears, as they were compelled to leave their free school, where they were instructed and treated with humanity. Is there a difference between the violence of eke protestant ministry in Prussia in the nine teenth century against the free religious congregations, and the violent proceedings of the House of Hapsburg against protestantism in the seventeenth century ? What a shame for protestant Prussia. " Many members of the congregation became ill in Neste quence, and a great part will emigrate to America if we do I not soon find a helping hand." This is the latest intelligence' have received from Brisket. I formed the free religious congregation at Breslau' on the 22nd January, 1.545, and for seven years the govern matt found no cause to suppress it. Front Breslau the new reformation spread throughout the whole of Germany, and , already in France , rebind, and amongst th e German popu lation in America, leading at ones by example the interior progress of the reformation. Therefore the revenge of Jesuitism Is directed especially against this congregation. Sir, as I know that the readers of the Daily Aviv and all true protestants here sympathies for the persecuted con. gregations, lam not ashamed to conk's, in the name of them, that the deepest alarm and grief fills our hearts. We are overpowered by the Homan hierarchy and the influence of Prussian absolutism, which we abhor; we are subjected and fettered. We fear that our children ;:. 1. vill thy et health= and de w• e. ow loas bonds& ftitheindist is tho pod free theelleolith theme* few esk er spud the lama iththees et tite • mod hooded odothee es the ~rd•i•les of mid iodides! liberty. Is Germany, this pests► tent -hem built up the great sciences and philosophy; It hes opened a new path in the spiritual world. We knew this, and we know that we have committed to urger witetou of Luther, Copernicus, Kepler, Goethe, Schiller, Hegel, Alexander Humboldt, Sc., to menage the spiritual inheritance of these men (or humanity. Deeply, than, do we suffos for our present defeat. Dot t h ough we suffer, we hays not lost hope, because we also know that humanity and liborty must be victorious at lost over despot power and barbarism. My fellow-labourers in the free congregations write me that they will struggle for religious freedom as long as possible, hoping trustfully that the protestant nations and states will regard them as champions of freedom, civil and religious, in their struggle against popery and Jesuitism. Again and again, therefore, do I implore the English public, in the name of the million of members of the free religious communities in Germany, to make use of the moral influence of England, and to do a mighty blow against Jesuitism. There is no time to lose. A victory of religious progrets over popery in Germany will be also a victory won for the welfare of Ireland. With respect, JOHANNES RONOE. /Me Court.

Fax FORSTEIL—Mr. Frank Forster, recently the engineer to the Metropolitan Com. missioners of Sewers, died suddenly on Tuesday, aged 52, at his house, Rim Lodge, Kilburn-road. He was a man of great attainment and large practice as a mining and civil engineer. lie was principally initiated into the active duties of these professions by the late Mr. George Stephen. son, whose confidence and personal esteem he fully enjoyed, as he did that of every one of his professional brethren with whom he came in contact, either as associates or anta gonists. In no less a degree did he earn the full confi. dente of those whose property either as mine owners or directors of ptiblic works was entrusted to his care; and, after a long exercise of his talents in pursuits not devoid of contention, and into which personal feelings are frequently imported, his knowledge, his untiring assiduity, and his high integrity left him without an enemy. For many years he was the energetic coadjutor of Sir Robert Snphenson, having had entrusted to ham the direction of many works of magnitude, among which may be particularly men tioned the Kilaby Tunnel and tho masonry of the piers of the Britannia Bridge, and the general arrangements of that great work. On the formation of the present Commission of Sewers for the metropolis, Mr. Forster was appointed chief engineer; but constant onpo sition, and the want of support at the board, rendered his position untenable, and on his health failing he tendered his resignation, which had been, however, too long de layed. The labours entailed by the system of centralisa tion now sought to be introduced, and the anxieties of the position, proved too much for his frame, and the grave has closed on one whom to know was to respect and love. lie has left a widow and a large circle of relations to deplore his loss, in addition to abundance of friends. • BRISTOL AND EXETER ItAILWAY.—A special ge neral meeting of the Bristol and Exeter Railway pro prietors, which was almost entirely of a formal character, was held at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, yesterday, for the purpose of having submitted to it the drafts of two bills, viz. —first, a bill to extend the powers of the act relating to the Yeovil branch of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and to authorise a deviation in the line of such branch railway ; secondly, a bill for making a railway from Ilighbridge to Glastoubury, in the county of Somerset, to be called the Somerset Central Railway —J. W. Buller, Esq., chairman of the company, presided, and geld he could not explain the objects of the meeting more clearly i than they were explained by the advertisement it was merely to' approve the bills which had already been sub mitted to the shareholders, in order that the solicitors might give evidence of that fact before the House of Lords.—The drafts of the bills having been read by the solicitor to the company, Mr. Boucher said that he perceived that they proposed to take powers to extend the subscription to the Central Somerset Railway from 10,0001. to 13,000/., which he must object to.—The Chairman explained that it would he only power given, but which could not be used without the consent of the shareholders. There was, however, no intention at present to extend the subscription.—The Secre tary (J. B. Radhani, Esq.) also explained that it might bereafb r become important for them to have two directors at the Central Somerset board, but Lord Itedeselele would not allow them two director!, at the board, unless the sub aeriptien was iiimlused to 13,0001., thinking two directors too large a proportion, for a suhactiption of 10,00(1/.—In reply to a question, Mr. Michael Castle, one of the directors of the Central Somerset line, said the estimated cost of making the line was 70,000/., but he thought it would cost somewhat more.—Resolutions approving the bills having beta carried unanimously, the meeting terminated. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. of the inhabitant s o f ainMetehetinflrineem's Cunctrt-r C li but al(" d el e i - ete s ima ts rd :Jo els r ve th nh e ien p ldg urpose of taking measures for the preservation of the Crystal Palace ; Admiral Sir (Seim,* Smerinsitni in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that he was glad to see solari a; meeting met together for the purpose of preserving the Crystal Palace. lie regretted that any persons wi n• i e favour of pulling down the building, and he regrind that those persons should be principally found auseligst the upp t s asses. (Hear.) The Leading introduced unionist them a mr style of architecture, and it deserved for its own intrinsie toggloty to be preserved. (Ilean) But it descend stab more to bo preserved on account of the uses to which it might be turned. (Hear, hear.) It wes said that the building had nobly served the object fur *hidh it was erected, and it ought now to be pulled down. But it Lig to perform work still more valuable; fur it might h e te „,: s to contribute in an eminent degree to the moral and re.i• gious improvement of the people. (Hear, beard 'r . hey should, therefore, individually and collective.y, urge Main the government the necessity of preserving oleos lint aojk of art. (Hear, hear.) Mr. hPUIt HO Wt, M.P., moved the first rm.:Mims. As one who occupied a house opposite the Crystal Patice, lie ens, there to say that those who, like himself, otimpicil 11.111 MA in its neighbourhood, would not be injured in their yr, perty, their comfort, or their tranquillity, by its ;aliena tion. (Hear, hear.) All that art and industry creed effect in any part of the world had been exhiliited in that budding, which was the largest in the world. It had dote its work well, as the chairmen had ~ 1 ”vrir«I; but it liad still better work to do, and it would be the neat act of vandalism that ever was committed, to pull it down, (Hear, hear.) The Crystal Palace was the people's palace, and any government, or any minister, that eon-send to it, destruction, would be guilty of a piece of vandalism, and would ' ta d l i ' i r re p v u en bi t ic s o u l e i r o a n. resu l t, (Ileac, he le kiti their t eei ng.nnt) It was t he o peopled s m iewn in the llonae of Commons. He eould c tell them tied. the menihers of the House ..1 tont mon% were powerless, unless they were supported by the people out of gloms. (li, or, hear.) There were ward en tor amusement iu the neighbourhood of the palaces of Pam and Vienna, and the people enjoyed themselves then alt. out any indecorum. If the Crystal Palace were prestrved, and converted into a museum for works of art and ether similar purposes, it would then form a university mere valuable than either Cambridge or Oxford. He believed that no minister could stand that wool( pull down the Crystal Palace, and at all events they would give as minister peace or rest till they succeeded in preserving it from destruction. (hear.) Ihe hon. gentleman concluded by moving that the Crystal Palace be preserved iu its pre- sent site. Mr. OLIVEIRA seconded the resolution. Ile said that the greatest obstacle they net in preserving the Cryst al Palace was the governmeut. lie dirt nut mean the pr.s.'nt government any more than the last. It was said that the Crystal Palace would injure the trade of this part of the City. On the contrary, it would cause a " Linden ...dom .; throughout the year. (Hear.) There was little doubt that the Crystal Palace could he made self-supporting. It might totl:w.tdihit:sh.p:::: were be opened two days in the week many on the remaining four days an entrance fee ri uhf he de mended. The surplus that remained after the bilvll* of the support o n r t i h n e ta ir ini u n tli t e he ch b ar ui i i t d i i .Z , aid (blear, hear ) Ile maintained that the surplus fund in the hands of the commissioners was public limey, and, if they dared to lay hands on the building, lie would tile a bill in Chancery for the restitution cf that portion of it which he had contributed. (Hear, beer.) Mr. W. WILLIAMS. M.P., said that tie v h a d sp en t 20,000,0001. on royal palaces in this country, nod the v were now spending 3,000,000/. more on the houses cat eani..oneet which afforded little accommodation for the inoity. they bail now another palace, which tot eomperatittly little money, and he was told that it was to be raided doss. This building stood upon some IR acres of ground, and he could not believe that there would be nay objcation in hqlt quarters that so much Knitted should he devoted to doe Crystal Palace. The conduct of Messrs. Fox and lhedrr son deserved the highest praise for the oft r they made of allowing the palace to stand fur six months, in order to give the people time to reflect ou this subject. (H. ar, hear.) This palace could he converted to the most beneficial pur poses, as was pointed out by Sir .1. Paxton ; and it his ideas were carried oat, people would come from all parts at the world to see it. Th. it museum were overflowing with works for which proper mom could not be touad. They had is the Crystal Palace a building which was capable of containing all these works of art. (Hear, hear.) If the building was thrown down they would not see another like it again. (Hear, Lear.) Ile therefore urged them to exert themselves for the preservation of the building; and, for himself, he promised that he would support Mr. M'Oregnr in the House of Commons in any effort that might be made for that purpose. (Hear.) Mr. NICHOLAY believed that if the people en. erted themselves they would be able to preserve the Crystal l'alace its spite of the government. (Hear, hear.) The members of the borough were not present, but they bath promised their support for the er,servation of the Crystal Palace. Mr. Hume also paid that he would advocate its preservatiou if it was made self-supporting. Lord J. Man ners, when he was nut in office, advocated amusements for the people. Why should he not, now that he wan in ofliv, advocate the retention of the Crystal Paloes, which wou:d afford not only amusement, but instruction, to the:people. (Hear, hear.) It woull show very bad manners un he part if he did not. (Laughter.) Mr. ST(' RGEON supported the resolution. An EXHIBITOR. who spoke from the body of the meeting, said that the great object of the Exhibition was instruction, and it would not half accomplish its object if that instruction was not continued. (Hear, hear.) The building stood upon some 20 acres of land, nod even if the aristocracy were curtailed a little of their ride, it was not a great deal to ask un behalf of the 20,000,000 working ma of this country that an acre should be appropriated to each million. ;Hear, hear.) lie believed that the pork belonged to the people, and that it was given by Lord Chancellor Hyde to the crown in trust for them. (Hear.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. BELL, M.P., in proposing the next resolution, said that he had scarcely a ray 01 hope some time ago that the building would be retained. But seeing that the public was coming forward in favour of its preservation, he was ready to give all the aid in his power for that purpose. (blear, hear.) The value of its preservation would be measured by the amount of interest which the people took in the subject. (Hear, hear.) During the period of the Exhibition it was regarded as an emblem of peace, and they were far better employed in demanding its preserve. tion than in preparing the means of warfare. 'lle, were going to erect a glass building in Paris, and he had no doubt they would do the same in other capitals. But hero they proposed to pull it down, and the result might he that this would be the only country without a crystal palace. (Hear, hear.) He, therefore, hoped the government would wait before they took say ulterior steps. (Hear, hear.) If the feeling now exhi bited was continued, lie had no doubt the huilding would be retained. The government could wait for some two years, and it would be as lacy to pull it down then wawa now. But if they puller it down without further delihen ton, they could not rebuild it again. (Hear, hear.) The resolution lie had to propose was, " That it is the opiniuto of the meeting that the Crystal Palace, arranged as a winter garden, with collections illustrative of nature, science, and art, would greatly tend to the amusement and instruction of the people." The people had but to express their opinion unequivocally, and he would defy any government to resist them. (Cheers.) Mr. BUCKTON seconded the motion. Ile did not think that a small body of the aristocracy should he allowed to intervene between the people and their legitimate amuse ment. The people had only to express their wishes in the proper way, and the C rystal Palace would be preserved to them. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was put and carried unanimously. pre.Mern.tCed t ItAC o preservation of the Crystal Palace. Ile had heard nothing but the weakest and most frivolous arguments ag ainst the E b p o ro th r°d housesthe next of parliament resolution, rlament i t n ha f t a l v " O l u i r liun of ;h he e preservation of the Crystal Palace. A committee had gone to inquire into the subject with a foregone conclusion, and they reported against it. But, whatever the commosiouen said, whatever the committee said, if the people spoke out the Crystal Palace would he preeerved. ((fear, hear.) Sir JOSEPH PAXTON, who was in the body of the a rr id al t , ha h t av h i e ng a te e n to lo t u h d e ly . c: e l t l i t merely to Znueisseeti;ga.t enthusiasm Marylebone would loriug forward on the subject which he had most at heart. (Hear, hear.) Ile did out come there to take any part is the proceeding., and he had hoped to be there lime/. But as he had been noticed, ho wished to make a remark in reference to an obserratum which had been made by one of the speakers. lie said that some friends of his inferred from something which be had doted in )64 report that he wanted to make the Crystal Niece a great trade bazaar. Now he begged to tell them distinctly that if there was one thing more than another which lie did not wish to make it, it was a great trade bax.uir. ((hem.) The resolution was carried; am was a vote of thanks to the chairman, which terminated the proceedings. SUDDEN AND REMARKABLE DEATlL—YesteraY afternoon Mr. Baker held as inquest at the Lord Liverpol.
