The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who was mast imper fectly heard, was understoou to say that he could not allow the house to separate without calling attention to the fact that though the noble lord opposite (Stanley) had admitted he had fallen into an inaccuracy, the whole of his last speech bad been directed to proving an inaccuracy on the part of the noble earl (Grey), and in so doing be had entirely quittbd the cut ject before the house. No one who hat heard the statement of the noble earl (Grey) could fail to be convinced that he stood completely absolved from anything like the charge that had been brought against him. (Cheers.) The duty of examining and canvasaing the conduct of all public officers was one that ought to be exercised unrestric tedly ; sad it was only because imputations had been made, not againt the noble can's discharge of his public duties, but because statements had been made which it had been found necessary to retract here and elsewhere, that the noble earl had bound it necessary so long to occupy the at tentiou of the house. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that one result of this debate, already perhaps too long protracted, would be to show bow important it was that motives of an improper kind should not be imputed on light and trivial grounds—(sheen)—and that the conduct of public men should not needli arty be made the object of parliamentary discussion and debate. (Cheers.) ' Lord REDESDALE expressed his belief that nothing personal bad been meant towards the noble ear! opposite. Perhaps the charge of neglect had been too strongly made against the Colonial-office ; but as for anything personal that bad been dist.nctly disclaimed by the noble lord who made the charge. Earl GREY (with much warmth.)—No, no. Lord REDESDALE said he referred to what had taken place here, not in the other house. As to the memorial from Jamaica, he thought the defence of the noble earl was a very imperfect one. The noble lord (Stanley) had stated nothing but facts and tair inferences from the papers, of which the noble earl had no right to complain. It was a grange position for a colonial minister to assume, that he would take only tie facts reported to him, but would pay no attention to the opinions expressed. Earl GREY.—None at all. Lord REDESDALE.—That was tantamount to saying that the house should only have the opinions of the noble earl and not those of the persons who were specially sent out to collect and form opinions from actusl observation. Earl GREY.—I hope that whin the noble lord next pro. fires to quote what I have said he will state something a little like what I did say. (Cheers.) The motion was then agreed to, and their lordships ad journed at half-past S o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAT : JUNE 27.

Tue supreme and deadly struggle between the working classes of Paris and those above them has terminated, as we confidently announced from the first, and as even the friends of these very working classes must have hoped, in the discomfiture of the insurrection. Fearful as has been the slaughter and destruction, even more fearful would have been the triumph of the people, as all industry and earning must have been annihilated by that triumph, leaving the victors no means of livelihood save that of public tyranny and private spoliation. Even this they would have been incapable of organising; and France would have presented the melancholy picture of a country in the highest state of development and civilisation flung back at once into a state of worse than savage nature, with every man's knife at his neighbour's throat. But however lively the sense of the dangers and horrors which the French have paned through, and of those which they have escaped, it is not just to throw the blame of all that has happened upon any one class or any one opinion. The Parisian opera tives were quiet and orderly in the month of January list; and from this state of tranquil industry they acre called to insurrection and political visions and civil war by the grossest faults, if not crimes, of those Shove them,—of the King, the governing powers, and even the middle classes. On the 26th of February the Parisian workpeople found themselves masters of the city. They insisted on the ejection of the royal family, and the total change of the constitution from a monarchy to a republic. Nei ther the middle classes, nor the national guard, nor the eminent men of the governing rank showed any re sistance. The chamber shrunk before the first ap- Pea:mice of some of the armed populace, and &govern ment was appointed of the few declared republicans end ultra liberals of the chamber, joined to those more thorough republi cans intimately known to, and per smelly trusted 1w the people. We by no means join in the universal condemna- I ~tion Passed on the ) provisional Government, or upon 'ae men thrown out of power by the late emeute. The destruction of all property founded upm credit, and of re venue founded on trade and on consumpt i on, ,he subv ers i on of f i nance, and the disorder in every department of government, were inevitable conse quences of th e revo l ut i on. All classes b y t h e i r blun ° their pusillanimity, or their rashness, contri buted to that Rvolution, and all must benr an rqua! "tale 01 tha tivne. rravisawai Cioverameat however, and especially its leading spirit, LAMARTINE, preserved the peace of the capital. This was done, no doubt, by promises to the people, by cajolery towards the chiefs, and by interesting one portion of revolutionists to keep the remaining portion in awe and in quiet. By this management the inevitable and final collision and combat between the working eb.ss and those above them was put off until the latter were organised and armed, and were duly sup ported by the military. Had the collision taken place in March or in April, the citizens would have been decimated and defeated. But by allowing time for the National Assembly to meet, for a garde mobile of staunch soldiers to be formed, and for the military itself to recover confidence in themselves and in their leaders, M. LAMARTINE and hie friends really and effectually contributed to the seisfactory triumph of order over disorder, of intelligence and common sense over brute force or visioaary claims, and of property over spoliation. The Provisional Government brought things to this result through a disturbed and transitory state of four months, during which, however, there was no blood shed, no persons killed, no guillotine erected; during which the press was maintained in its free dom, and enabled to combat the subve, sive doctrines of communism with an efficacy that has altogether discredited them. Moreover, during this semi anarchic time, the spirit of the French populace was never excited to war. No hatred was sown be tween them and their neighbours. No appeal was made to rancorous, vain-glorious, or rapacious passions to precipitate the country into war, nor was the common-place mode of providing for unquiet spirits and satisfying turbulent passions adopted by men who, like LAMARTINE, are accused of having made a compromise with insurrection. We only trust that we shall have to praise General CAVAIGNAC, and those echo now succeed to power in France, for the same virtue of forbearance, the same respect for the peace of the world and the rights of neighbouring nations, which marked the administra tion of M. LAMARTINE. Gen. CAVAIGNAC bears a very high character. His whole conduct, since February, his refusal to accept office till he was allowed the means of making government be respected, all bear testimony to his prudence and firmness. His military operations in putting down the insurrection display great deter mination. He has solved the problem of resisting a populace bent on holding out in the narrow streets of a thickly-built city, although he has shown that the moat ruthless destruction, both of property and life, was the inevitable condition of , success. General CAVAIGNAC has performed but his duty ; and yet, we fear, he will have earned thereby a deep-rooted un popularity, and that lie will have created amongst the lower classes, especially, of PaTie, remembrances of the blood spilt in June which will render his government no easy one, and his career not enviable. BONAPARTE dispersed the Sections by cannon, but these were ratherof the bourgeois class. The repression. too, was brief and the slaughter not great. In the present case there is,probably, not one individual of the working class in Paris, who has not lost a son, a father, a husband, or a brother Heaven defend us front the feelings which such fields f battle in a civil war engender. The National Assembly will now, of course, pro ceed to the voting of the constitution, and to the election of a president. Will they risk all that has been already won, by entrusting that election to the people at large, and thus incur the chance of having a Louis NAPOLEON thrust upon them as master? Or will they take advantage of the late insurrection to transfer at once, or at least for this first time, the choice of a president to themselves? If so, Gen. CAVAIGNAC stands certainty the best chance. The presidency of Gen. CAVAIONAC will, however, have two potent signification!. The name of the victor of Paris will be the emblem of repression, and of the victory of one class over another. It will also signify that the army, its ideas and its interests, again assume the lead in the policy of France. A cotemporary announces that one of the first acts of Gen. CAVAIONAC was to send for M. TIMERS. It is true that the general and M. Tomas had a lengthened interview ; but we believe it to be equally true, that the interview by no means led to an agree ment, or was marked by unison of policy. Oa the contrary, subsequent to that interview, Gen. CAVAIG NAC begged of the ministers to keep their places ad interim, with the exception of M. BASTIDE, who was requested to keep his portfolio permanently. This is a very good sign. M. BASTIDE has given every sa tisfaction, and continues the foreign policy of M. LA MARTINE, a policy of dignity and peace. But, at the same time, the accession of M. Tutees to power, and the aid of his great experience and abilities, would be a most desirable event. GENERAL NARVAEZ ought to have had more respect for his character and position as the minister of a great nation than to have allowed such a puerile and petti fogging document to have emanated from his govern ment, as that which has just sneaked into light. We are strongly opposed to General NARVAEZ as an unfit ruler of a constitutional and free country, bat at least he has the character of a bold and manly though cruel and despotic soldier. His long manifesto against England and its envoy, however, seems dictated rather by feminine spite and puerile susceptibility than by manly reason. Some of the charges made in it are so incompatible with English ideas of Castilian prido and Spanish honour, that in our land no gentleman who made them could ever hold up his head again. We have no name for such baseness, and, consequently, no mode of express ing disgust. And we are right sure that no English politician could bring himself to dip his tongue or fingers in such dirt. Let it be remarked that this tissue of accusations against our envoy in:Madrid is not that original series of complaints, on which the Spanish government took its resolve to send Sir H. BULWER out of the country. That series of complaints were despatched to this country with Count MIRASOL, who did not think fit to communicate them through Senor IsiTairr. This is a second edition of complaints, which were after: thoughts, and of which the grounds and proofs were gleaned and gathered after wards, and which were not the causes of Sir H. BULwER'S dismissal, but the excu-es and arguments sought for and elicited from the agents of the Spanish government to afford some plea and colour to its precipitate and unwarrantable step. The first complaint of the Spanish government is gathered from the despatches of the British envoy to his government, which the Spanish minister found unfaithful and untrue. But what minister is likely to be satisfied with the accounts of an agent sent to observe him, and highly disapproving such policy as a military dictatorship, and such conduct as that dis played in the Spanish marriages? The second complaintrelates to a letter of General SERRANO, in which that general says that Sir HENRY BULWER advised him to keep himself at the head or in front of the liberal party. The third grief is founded on* police report, in which NARVAEZ'S police-agent accuses the British embassy of being the centre of all intrigues ; on those of other agents, who utter small facts in support of their very indefinite assertions; on a list found in the pocket-book of somebody in which the name of BULWER is written down in conjunction with those of OLozAG.t and SALAMANCA ; and finally, on the wonderful fact, that in one of his despatches Sir H. BULWER informs his principal that the conspirators were divided in opinion. The chief duty of a diplomatist is to keep his government well and fully informed. His doing so, however, is a crime in the new code of General NARVAEZ. The fourth and fifth griefs are that Sir H. Bun- WER did what every ambassador in Madrid has done, screened the lives of certain public men menaced by the persecution of the government. The sixth is a cock and bull story of insurrection fermented in the provinces by the appearance of English vessels on the coast, with whose movements Sir H. BULWER could have had nothing to do. In fact, if the column of accusation contained in this grief be true, it was the English Admiralty and the governor of Malta who were conspiring against Queen ISABELLA. The only other accusation is, that PORTAL, who headed the Seville insurrection , was known to Sir H. BuLwea, and had received letters from him, which the captain-general, who saw them, admitted to be insignificant. What can we make of all this mass of absurdity and puerility? There is'not a diplomatic envoy in any troubled country, against whom a similar or a worse case might not be made out. We will be bound to say, that we could concoct as good a one against Lord NORMANDY in Paris, or Lord PoNsoNnl at Vienna. If a government were to rake up the private life of the envoys at its court, make arrests to se's° correspondence, suborn agents, male and female, RE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1848. to report conversations, and lay traps for the representative of a friendly government, when performing his disagreeable duty of giving advice and getting information;—if a government be mean enough to establish each a system of domestic inqui sition, it may asperse with dirt the character of the most innocent and honourable, but at the same time so far degrade itself below the level of all erect nce and all respect, that its future slanders must pees for what they are worth, and be dismissed, es sullying, even by presence or contact, the regard of men of sense and honour. THE press of more exciting news prevented our noticing a day or ,two ago the important meeting reported in our columns of Monday, of the friends of criminal reforms in reference to juvenile offenders. We neither overlooked its import, nor for got its claim to public attention, and take the earliest onortunity of commenting thereon. Certainly, even in these revolutionary days, few subjects have greater or more pressing demands upon the notice of the publicist and statesman than this ; for just as it is dealt with, wisely or negligently, will the criminal calendar fall or rise. The child abandoned, becomes, by our present system of " let alone," almost inevitably an abandoned adult. If we would seek to repress crime, and to de crease the elements of disorder in society, we must of necessity begin at the source, and un dertake to deal with our felon population in its youth. Such as the boy is, such will be the man. Or, if there be any sort of change, it will be for the worse. Evil courses once begun, are continued less perhaps from choice than from an overwhelming necessity. In fact, except in very rare cases, children exhibit no vo cation of themselves to crime; they are forced into it by idle and vicious parents, or by the oersons to whom their worthless parents have committed them. That the criminal population is a rare apart—almost an dis tinct ft om the general mass of society surrounding it as the gipseys—every person well acquainted !with our prisons is well aware. With an organism thus predis posing to ill, and thrown by external force into tempta tion and guilt—the narrow way of good barricade! against them—the broad way of evil open and easy— the flood of necessity behind to urge them on, and with no acquired sub, perhaps, little natural power to resist and to oppose—no wonder that they should fall—should violate the law and suffer its vengeance, alternately deepening the crimes, as the losing gamester does his stake, until all is lost. If these children be "let alone," which we thus meet with in the jail, it is as certain as the sun will rise to-morrow and the next day that in time they will return to occupy wards of their own, and help to swallow up the industry of the honest workman or shopkeeper, who first suffers from their depredations and then by the costliness of their maintenance in prison. What can or ought to be done with these embryo 'offenders? The question is difficult—as all com plex social problems are—but not incapable of solu tion. The meeting of Saturday gave an answer to them which, in the main, we consider a wise and just one. The speeches then delivered were far more get mane to the matter than speeches at philanthropic gatherings equally arc. They were less ornate and more prac tical: that of Mr. Mos CKTON MILNES WAS particularly deseiv!ng of commendation for its just views and philosophic tone. The great advantage was that the assembly had a purpose—a distinct proposition to carry—and there was little room for cant or verbiage, though Lord BROUGHAM, with his usual versatility, contrived to introduce a variety of topics about him se.f which were amusing if not very pertinent—espe pecially his Lordship's assurance that he was no longer a juvenile noraddicted to habits which excite suspicion of a certain sort. The recommendation of penal farms was that most prevalent. It is a scheme -or rather part of a scheme—which we have always contended for ; com bined with a proper amount of literary education, the system of industrial teaching may be made of the utmost value. Agricultural labour, under' certain restraints and conditions, may be made amply punitive ; and at the same time may be made an important agent of reformation. These lads might be trained into useful farm and agricultural labourers —and if, in addition to this, they were taught to read and to understand the principles of religion and morale, they would prove a valuable secession in the colonial labour markets. The Colonic Agricola of Mettrai furnishes a model for such an institution, and the Warwickshire farm would supply some valuable hints for its organisation. But some of the mistakes of the French establishment must be avoided in the English one. It must not be made to act as an in ducement to commit crime. We have all heard the story of the French mother who regretted that she could not get her eon into Mettrai, because lie was neither a liar nor a thief. The agricultural schools which we hope soon to see established in this country, must not be so conducted as to suggest such thoughts. The deportation of the olives should, therefore, be an essential part of the plan. We would abandon the useless, impolitic, and expensive prac tice of sentencing for short terms. Felonies and misdemeanors of the graver kind imply vicious habits, or deep-seated ignorance, or both; and if we recognise in punishment anything beyond mere vengeance—especially if we see in it, and pretend to employ it as, the instrument of reformation—then terms obviously inadequate in length to admit of any lasting effect being produced upon the mind of the culprit are quite absurd. At the time this very . meeting was being holden, we were ex amining one of the great jails of the metropolis. One boy of 15 was in for the fourteenth time : in arrests, and trials, and prison maintenance, he must have cost the country hundreds of pounds. There was one little fellow of 9, who said he had no father nor mother : he lived with "Bill." There were many such. It is quite useless to keep such urchins in prison for three or six months, and then turn them out again to commit new robberies. They have nothing else to do—nowhere to go, but to the old criminal haunts, where they are compelled to renew their former practices. They will live upon society—either secretly by theft, or openly in gaol. It is for the interest of society—monetary as well as moral—that they should be taught how to live upon themselves: an act which the poor children have no means of learning without its aid. The parents are as ignorant as their offspring, and have an interest in corrupting them The state is the only parent which has power to step in aid save them ; and for its own sake it should do it without delay. In committing juvenile offenders to such an indus trial institution care must be taken, however, to dis tinguish the essential criminal—the member of the real felon class—from the occasional culprit, whom accident or a peculiar temptation may have induced to commit an exceptional offence. For the first, there is little or no hope, if sent back again into the world; because the only persons who can exercise influence over hint are interested in his delinquencies. The other may be a child of respectable parents, and, as the circumstances are different, the duty of the magistrate is different. For a first offence, the latter might be punished and returned to his family, and become in time a useful member of society. With the other such a hope is idle ; and it would be a mercy to the child, as well as a saving to society, to deal with it effectually on the first commitment, in stead of, as now, on perhaps the fortieth. In bringing up the young criminal population as agricultural labourers, there would be two great ad vantages not attained in the present method of teach ing them trades in the prisons. When settled in the world again, their occupations would generally ye move them from the temptations of the towns into rural districts; and, agricultural being one of the lowest and severest sorts of labour, the honest artisan would not have to complain that the delinquencies of these persons had given them advantages which his honesty had caused to be denied to his children :—the last is, practically, a most important consideration. We trust that government will find time to consider the petition which is to be presented to the legislature on this important subject. BLOCKADE OP MARACATBO.—Let night's Gasette contains a notification that Lord Palmerston hu received from Mr. Bedford Wilson, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Carew's, a despatch, dated thelSth of May last, report ing that the Venezuelan government had declared and esta blished a block de of the port (plaza) of Maracaibo and its adjacent coasts, including in this latter term the whole of the coast bordering the Gulf of Maracaibo, from Cape San Roman, on the peninsula of Paraguana, to Point &pada, on that of La Goajira. THE ORLEANS FAMILY.—PICTURES FROM THE Truism za.—A eteamer recently arrived from Havre at the port of Southampton has brought two packages, destined for the family at Claremont. They were undtutood to contain two family portraits, one of the late Due d'Orleans, and the ether 01 the Princesse Marie, an; also some netillcw:rk, losaiptliated bT the Si QUM of the 'nook, GERMANY. PRUSSIA.—The difficulty of forming a new ministry at Berlin seems insurmountable. Our dates are of the 25th, up to which no arrangement had been come to, and a decree, of which the following is a translation, appears in tte official journal, bearing the signature of Camphausen, &c. : We, Frederick William, by the Grace of God, King of Prussia, &c., &c. Command, on the petitions of the Diet convoked for the consolidation of the Prussian constitution, after hearing our Minister of State, as follows : For the protection of the assembly convoked for the con solidation of the Prussian constitution the following resolu tions shall immediately come in force :-1. No member of the Diet can in any manner whatsoever be called to account either for his vote, or for words and opinions expressed by him in his quality as deputy. 2. No member of the Di:t can, during its sciaion, be made re sponsible or be arrested fir any action, amenable to punishment, without its sanction, unless he be taken in the execution of the deed, or within twenty-four hours alter. A. similar meant is also requisite in case of arrest for debt.- 3. Every judicial proceeding against a member of the diet, and every arrest shall be suspended during the term of the session, if required by the diet.—Ratifted by our royal sig nature and great seal.—Given at Sat .s Souci, June 23, 184'. Farusatcx WILLIAM. Countersigned, CAMPHAIIEN, VON AOLESWALD, BOIINNMANN, HANG/MINN, Vote PA TON, VON SCHRECKENSTHIN, VON SCHLENITZ. The Cologne Gazette says Berlin is again in a state of fermentation, and another rupture seems evident. The Breslau Gazette says, on good authority, that the Prince of Prussia will take the command of the federal troops in Schleswig-Holstein, and that Gen. Von Wrangel will replace Gen. l'fuel at Posen. AUSTRIA.—A letter from Innepruck of the 20th says: The Archduke John has set off to-day. The dipla matic corps are dispersing ; the majority repair to hell, whither the court will also repair. The Ban of Croatia will set uff to-day. It is hoped that an arrangement will be effected with the Magyars. Prim. Peter/lazy has, it is said, addtts.sd a very urgent note on the subject to the ministry at Peat,. The ministers Doblhoff and Weseenberg will follow the Archduke John to Vienna. WURTEMBERG.—We learn from Ulm, under date June 23, that Count Von der Lippe, governor of that fortress, has put an end to his lite by shooting himself. The event had excited great sensation. BELGI UM. THE KING'S SPEECH. The following appeared in thesecond edition of last evening's Express. BRUSSELS, Jere 2G.—This afternoon, about one o'clock, the Belgian Chambers were opened by the king in person, with more than usual so lemnity. The following is his Majesty's speech : Gentlemen—l am happy at being in the midst of the re presentatives of the nation. In presence of the agitation which so deeply excites Europe, Belgium has remained i calm, confiding, and strong. I longed (11 roe lardoit) to give public expression to the gratitude and just pride which I felt in my heart. The changes in the political state of several nations have not in any way (auconement) altered our good international relations. Our official relations with the French republic have been established on terms of mutual goodwill. From all parts we have received testi monies of ay rapethy and esteem. The last guidon was distinguished by important laws. The circle of political rights was considerably enlarged, and the first application of electoral reform has proved that we did not presume too much on the sound sense of the nation. The erganisation of the civic guard is actively carried on the excellent spirit with which the people are influenced facilitates that organisation, and gurantees its success. Circumstances have imp osed extraordinary burdens on the country, which has understood their necessity, and courage ously supported them. By means of the financial measures voted last session, our patriotic army has been maintained on a respectable footing of defence ; we have sustained employ ment; the public treasury has been able to fulfil faithfully all its obligations, and the burden of the floating debt has ceased t 3 press on credit. The future will recompense the sacrifices of the put. The subsidies destined for extraordinary wants have been voted only until the lit of September next, but, thanks to the prudent reserve which we had imposed on ourselves with respect to the expenditure, the creation of new bur dens will not be necessary, and unless unforeseen cations interpose, the budgets already voted will suffice till the end of the year. All our efforts, gentlemen, should tend to maintain a good financial situation for Belgium, for on such a situation its strength and security mainly depend. The normal budget of the expenditure will be reduced. My government is re solved to effect by degrees economical reductions. Several imposts will be fundamentally modified; and in the partition of these burdens we shall not lose sight of the duty of spuring tha« indlnduals whose livelihood is gained by their labour alone. With real solicitude we shall continue to seek out all the best measures for improving and raising the condition of the laborious chum.. We are passing through a period of difficulty for Euro pean society. Belgium will not allow herself to be diverted from the wise and sure path in which she has entered. By happy union, she has been enabled to reconcile stability with progress, and order with the practice of liberty in every shape. In order to keep on that path, and success fully accomplish her mission of peace and labour, she has only to have faith in herself and remain united. You, gentlemen, who faithfully express her sentiments and her wishes, and who are entrusted with her dearest interests, will worthily respond to her expectations. You will afford the government that kind co-operation which it requires in order to fulfil its difficult task ; and then, again, our com mon efforts will have deserved well of our country. On concluding the speech, his Majesty was gseeted with loud cries of rive k Rol ! !be Court. Tho Queen held a privy council and court yester day afternoon in Buckingham Palace. The council was attended by Prince Albert, the Lord President, tl e Lord Privy Seal, the First Lov: o! the Treasury, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Postmaster General, the Lord Steward, the Master of the Horse, and the Groom of the Stole to the Prince.

THE LAW AMENDMENT. Yesterday afternoon a public meeting of highly influential tradesmen in the City of London add other places was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of adopting resolutions in favour of an altera tion in the law relating to the hiring of goods, and also to consider the necessity of ; petitioning the legislature to ap point a public prosecutor. Mr. Collard, of the firm of Col lard and Collard, pianoforte manufacturers, Cheapside. was called to the chair, in the absence of Mr. Alderman John son. Mr. T. a Beckett proposed the first resolution, and pointed out the necessity of an alteration in the present law relating to the hiring of goods. lie said if power was in vested in the magistrates to summons persons who retained goods !ent on hire and they refused to deliver them up, a warrant should be issued to compel them; it would give more satisfaction to the community at large than the present law, that of bringing an action far trove.. Several respectable tradesmen addressed the meeting, end briefly illustrated the frauds which had been committed upon them, the pre sent law preventing them havitig redress. Mr. Barter, of St. Paul's Church ard, propos ad a resolution in favour of a public prosecutor, which wad unanimously adopted by the meeting. A committee was then formed to watch the pro gress of the rte''.''':•.s. A vote of thanks haring beau raid to the ohs► ' 'he meeting separated. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BANKING COMPANT.—Yeg terday the seventh annual zneet:ng of proprietors was held at the offices, 54, Old Broad•street. Mr. Derett, hf P., pre- Sided. The secretary read the report, which was to the fol. lowing effect ; The extended emigration to South Anertmlia, and the omoequent increase of its general commerce, still further promoted by the sue ceseful working of 'atom mind, have made the past year one of great activity ; and have called into ready employment the entire capital of this company, although scarcely sufficient time has elapsed to realise the full profits to be expected therefrom. Dotting the past year, program boa been mule in recovering doubtful debts (formerly written off), and in realising securities taken In the earlier period of the colony. The home debt of the South Australian Company hes been wholly paid off, and the bunk's funds are being concentrated in mete readily available for all the operation,. The summary of the general profit and ion account is as follows, vex.: Amount of undi vided profits on Slat May, 1847, 11,6001. 19.. lid.; l,sa appro priated to preliminary expellees and reserve fund. 2,6001., leasing 9.0001. 19s.

The directory ere unwilling to re-open the preliminary expenses account, and have therefore preferred at once debiting to charges accoont 1847-8, the whole cost of the charter, and tearing melltoinery expense account undeimbed, rather than alter it by crone entries. For this reason the preliminary expense. account wilt omit the next balance, remain at 10,0001. Prom the foregoing balance of net profit, viz., 10,1061. Ioe. 3d., the directors recommend that 1,01)1. 135., or 10 per cent. (as by the charter and deed of eettle went), be added to the reserve fund, which will then be about 3,1001., and that from the balance a dividend ot 5 per cent- per annum, clear of income tax, open the capital, be made payable half-yearly in July and January next a. usual. The directors vacating by rotation are N. Chippindale, Esq., and J. R. Todd, Em. The auditors, J. Brown, Eq., and Latibroke, E.g., also retire pursuant to the charter and deed of settlement; but all three gentlemen being eligible for re-elec tion, oft'er themselves accordingly.. In September last her Majesty'. government granted the long-desired charter of incorporation, and you now meet under its provision. It has been issued on term likely to prove beneficial to the future ietereste of the Co -open). During the year of unparallekd eommercial embarrassment, which has or.- eurrul Mom the last mt eting, It mild scarcely be expected that this bank should escape without some bud debts, and the court of directors have had much additional trouble and anxiety in oonducting its affairs; but they have pleasure in announcing that the company has emergul cutely from eeveral operation. width threatened considerable loss. The promeeta now are, that the cautious system of maaseement under which the business is cOnOucied, and growich trade of the colony, will mon yield larger returns for the capital of the company. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, made some congratulatory remarks on the condition of the cum. patty, notwithstanding the year of difficulty which they had gone through.—Mr. G. F. Angie objected to the large amcunt of epecie had by the Ralik in the colony, which he conceived to be an excessive proportion, compared with their note circulation of 17,0001.—The Chairman observed that their general circulation was as much as 21,000/. Their specie had been gradually accumulating, but he did not conceive i's amount to he much more than was necessary. home conversation arose out of the remarks of a proprietor who advocated the expediency of printing the charter, which however the chairman did not consider an advisable step, unless specially desired by the proprietors. The document was open to the inspection of any shareholder at the office—The report was adopted, the dividend egret d to, and the retiring directors and auditors re elected. Some cobs . plimentary votes concluded the proceedings. NEWSVENDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Last evening the London newsmen, members of the above society, held their ninth anniversary meeting, at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-str et ; James Harmer, Esq., the president, in the chair.—The secretary read the report of the committee, which stated that though the means of the society were gra dually progressing, still the number of members bore nu pr.:- portion to the extent of the trade, nor to the increasing wants of that body. The committee were happy to state that the interest of the funded property alone was now sufficient to provide for two pensioner. During the past year the stock had been increased by 1001, making it now amount to 9501. The meeting would that evening be called upon to elect one pensioner upon the funds, there being but one candidate eligible to fill the vacancy. On the motion of Mr. Telly the report was adopted, after which the treasurer read the ba lance sheet. It appeared that the year's income, including a balance of 571. from the previous year, amounted to 1401. 170. 2d., and the expenditure left a balance now in the hands of the treasurer of 221. 8.. sd. This report, on the motion of Mr. Hutton, was adopted, and the meeting then proceeded with the election of officers. The five retiring members of the committee were re-elected, and Messrs. Miller, Coe, and Cook were appointed auditors, A pen sioner upon the funds was next elected, and thanks having been voted to the chairman the meeting separated. SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM IN THE ClTY.—Yester day a reward of lOW. was offered for the discovery of the man who was seen to leave Mr. Barford's warehouse, No. 95, Wood street, Cheapside, on Sunday morning, the Mtn inst., just as the premises burst out into a blaze, and which it is inspected that he must have set fire to, the jury empan netted to investigate the affair having recorded their verdict that the fire was not accidental. FIRES.—IN SOUTHAMPTON-ROW. About two o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Wright, boot and shoe maker, Southampton-row, Bloomsbury. The engines from the Brigade, West of Eng land, and County, soon attended, with Mr. Colt, the fore man of the former body, but the flames reached the buildings adjoining, belonging to Mr. Brooch, draper, as also those of Mr. Dyer, tobacconist. Mr. Wright's premises. +their, dte , were ail destroys 1, and those of the other parties greatly damaged. None of Mr. Wright's family were present, to explain the calve of the fire. The parties are insured in the Sun, Hand-in-Hand, and County Fire-offices.—Lose about 1,0001.—1 s CLERKENWELI.,—Yesterday morning a fire broke out at No. 10, Corporation-row, Clerkenwell, at the house of a general dealer, and from the discoveries made by the Brigade authorities suspicion is entertained that some vile incendiary had contemplated the destruction of the premises. The flames when discovered were burning in the front shop and back parlour, but, owing to the timely aid afforded, the flames were confined to the lower portion of the premises. The firemen afterwards found shavings par tially consumed, which had been steeped in spirits sod which had such a mysterious appearance as to cause the brigade to return the origin of the fire to the insurance offices as suspicious. 3. flat this meeting pledgew itself to afford every support to the National Miamian= for reforintng excise abuses in the monis i t has hitherto punned, trusting that it will not cease to um all legs,' sad constitutional means, not only for haring the present obnoxious bill. rejected, but for haring means adopted by which the repeated offidul plectra may be est a mere mockery and dela-non, but to reality and good faith may lud to an efficient and honest reform of the admitted gnswances and abuses of the whole excise system.

The startling intelligence from Paris, conveyed here to-day in an extraordinary express of the Daily News, has been a subject of extreme interest through politi cal circles. It is not calculated to stimulate the cause of the sympathisers with revolution here, and it will in all probability very materially check the projected organisation against law and order. One of the parties who were arrested yesterday, on returning from the Donnybrook meeting, was sent for trial from the police court to-day ; one was fined 21., and some others were called on to find bail to keep the peace. A privy council is being held to-day at the Castle. It is supposed to be connected with the possible defeat of the ministry on the Sugar Duties Bill. There has been considerable excitement throughout the day, in consequence of a rumour that an express had arrived to the Earl of Clarendon announcing the dissolution of the ministry. A club recently established in the south has ordered a supply of political enlightenment from head-quar ters. Among the original instructors ordered from the metropolis are the Irish Felon and the National Guard. Singular nutriment will the Guard supply ! The " League " still hangs in suspense. The adhe sion of the catholic clergy in such numbers has given fresh hopes to the friends of the union. Among the most recent and influential is 1)r. Feeny, Bishop of Killala, who, however, qualifies his allegiance by asserting that he will enter into no political society which does not seek to compass its end by " peaceful, legal, and constitutional means." Dr. Dawson, also of Ardagh, the first who "pronounced "against the abandonment of the Repeal Association, has retracted. He could not resist the influence of so many prelates, and therefore adopts the principles of the league. Mr. Maher, M.P. for 'Tipperary, has written resisting any fusion until the confederates give a more solid I guarantee. THE St•stmes ASSIZES are fixed rather earlier than usual this year, perhaps to enable the ministers of justice to shake off their circuit duet, and pay their respects to the sovereign should she honour us with her presence in August. REPEAL ARSOCIATION.—POSTPONEMENT.—ConsiderabIt disappointment was felt to-day at the further postponement of the meeting at Conciliation Hall, an announcement on the door informing all repeaters that the committee had de cided on adjourning further to the 10th July. Several hundreds were in and around the approaches to the hall at the usual hour and bore the disappointment very grum blingly. Mr. John O'Connell was the subject of convent lion among the groups into which the crowd broke up, and was spoken of in language neither measured nor compli ment ary. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, lONE 26.

THE PARIS NEWS IN TILE PROVINCES. 11 In all parts of the country the intelligence of the trouble and bloodshed in Paris was read wi , ll the greatest eagerness ; and we find the local journals readily acknorsledg- Mg their obligation to the Daily News for the early informa tion obtained from cur columns. In some towns the pro vincial journalists published " extraordinary " supple mentary sheets, solely in consequence of the intelligence we forwarded them. Others contented themselves with mend editions. WAKEFIRLD.—By the politeness of the Daily News, the proprietor of the Wakefield Journal was enabled to poet outside his office, early on Monday morning, the particulars of the proceedings in l'aris up to six o'clock on Saturday evening, which was the only available source in the whole town for information. Hundreds were congregated at the place all day, and the excitement was very con ideroble. The manner in which it was made known was, for some person in the crowd to read front the board hung up to those assembled, and thus all day did reader succeed reader, and an one batch of listeners went away another came, and this continued until the shades of evening r,ndered it too dark for the information to be longer seen and read. Lrens.—The Leeds Times, in publishing an extraordinary edition with the latest French news, says : For the earliest account of the deplorable events in Paris on Saturday, we are indebted to the courtesy of the editors of the Daily News, whose information, SS on many termer occasions, is ahead of that of their contemporaries." SWANSEA,: MONDAY.—The Swansea and Glamorgan Herald, in publishing the news, says We are indebted to the spirited exertions of the Daily News for the following important intelligence from Paris. Amidst the many efforts tor the diffusion of late news by which the English press has been of late years distinguished, nothing hes excelled in spirit and promptitude the effort now made, by which we received Parts news up to six o'clock on Saturday, in Swansea, by mid-day, Monday." A private letter from Swansea, says t " We are indebted to the Daily News for the most rapid .convejance of news ever effected to this town." TAVNTON.—The Taunton Courier, in republishing the French news, says: " By a degree of highly commendable energy or the part of the spirited proprietors of that popular journal the Daily News, we were, on Monday morning last, placed in receipt of the subjoined momentous intelli gence from Paris." CHESTSES—The Chester Courant acknowledges its obli gation for the latest French news in the following terms : "We beg to record our grateful thanks to the conductors of the Daily News, for their kind attention in forwarding to us, by express, which reached us eerie on Monday, the full par ticulars of the insurrection in Paris to Saturday evening, thus anticipating by eight hours the arrival of the same in telligence by other morning journals." WHITEHAVEN.—The editor of the Cumberland Parquet heads a summary of French news in his Tuesday's publica tion Si follows : 'We beg to express our acknowlecgments to the proprietors of the Daily News for the following im portant details of the proceedings in Paris up to a late hour on Saturday evening. Hence we are enabled, through the kindness of the proprietors of the paper already named, to present our readers with the following important intelli genct." PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The activity of the Daily News enabled the publio, this morning, at eight o'clock, to read the details of the terrible insurrection in Paris. The !fonts Telegraph, in its usual spirited manner, immediately circu lated the intelligence, aelsoowledging its receipt from the Daily News. Pitarron, MONDAY.—The Preston Guardian published an extraordinary edition, in which the editors say, " Through the kindness of the epiriteu proprietors o: the /May ere are enabled to give the latest particulars received by them through the medium of horse couriers." IPSWICH, MONDAY.—The editor of the Ipswich Express, in his summary of the French newi, says : " The narrative is thus taken up by the Daily News, the editors of which paper we have to thank for their courtesy in sending us in telligence by express, which reached this office many hours before other information had been received." Amonet other journals that quote the French intelligence from this paper, we may add to our list the Glasgow Ilerald North British Daily Mail, the Boston Herald, and the Wilts and Gloucester Standard. WALES. —BANGOR, MONDAY. We, North Wales Chronicle, are indebted to the courtesy of the Daily News, in forwardingto this office, on the eve of putting to press, an express edition, putting the public in possession of the further continuance of the fierce struggle betwixt the mob and the executive* GLASGOW, MONDAY, 4 P.M.—The Daily News' report of the French news was sent upon receipt to the Exchange and Tontine Rooms, where it was read aloud to the sub scribers assembled ; so that hundreds knew within a few minutes after the arrival of the mail to whom they were indebted for the early and important news which you published. The Scottish Guardian says "We await further intelligence with anxiety. Meanwhile we have to acknow ledge our great obligations to the Landua Daily News for the liberality and promptitude with which we have been furnished with intelligence down to six o'clock on Saturday evening." GIIEES'OCS. — The Greenock Advertiser of Tuesday lays : " To the polite attention and great exeetions of the proprietors of the Daily News, we are indebted for the full and moat interesting details of Saturday's proceedings in Paris. The intelligence from the French capital to six o'clock on Satur• dey evening was in our hands yesterday afternoon, by ex press, at four o'clock—a period of forty-six hours !—a portion of which was, of course occupied by putting the stews in type in London. The enterprise of the News is worthy of all honour." DUBLIN.—The 'Pilot aye: "We have to express our thanks to the Daily News for the consideration with which they have transmitted to us ' an extraordinary express' from Parts, enabling us to place French intelligence, of most astounding moment, before our readers." The Freeman's Journal, in publishing the latest French intelligence, also acknowledges the Daily News to be the source of its infor 'nation. Au*. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,—" Lucrezis Borgia" was performed at Covent-garden last evening to one of the greatest houses we have seen this season, and with even more than usual success. Grisi's personation of the terrible heroine is one of her very greatest efforts, combining the highest dramatic with the highest vocal power. Mario, though apparently suffering from hoarseness, sang with ex quisite beauty, and his awing in the last scene was very pathetic. Alboni's famous "It seareto per ewer felice," se usual, had a double encore. The opera was followed by the pretty ballet, " La Rosier'," which was frequently per formed last year, and was now produced for the &Zia of Mademoiselle Robert, a danseuse, who will be a great acquisition to the theatre. She is exceedingly handsome, with a light and elegant figure, and an animated and expressive countenance. She has an air of espieglerie, which gave infinite life and spirit to the rustic coquetry of the Tahiti belle. She rivals Cerito herself in the lightness and rapidity of her movements, and many of her steps were remarkable for novelty as well as grace. She was mmt warmly applauded, and called for at the conclusion of the ballet. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. CAMBRIDOZ.—The Porn prize for the bed translation Into Greek tens ku been adjudged to E. H.

The distinction between official and unehal responsibility was this : the charge made war that 'type documents , had been withheld or suppri teed "in the cgociatoffice ;" there was, therefore, no accusation against me noble earl, because it could not be known that it bad ta ken place in consequence of the noble earl's interference. Be had admitted that the noble earl's defence was conclu sive a nd bad acqui t ted him of any intentional withholding of t he ' documents. But he hail felt it a duty to an absent friend, whom he valued Lb highly as the noble earl did his friends, to show that this was a cue which justified suspicion en Me part of parliament, and justified the expression of that suspicion on the part of the public. On one topic, sad one only, he thought the noble earl bad fallen into a grave er ror, that of conveying an erroneous inference from the me morial of the Jamaica planters. It war not the mere opinion of the co m ii tsts which the noble earl had withheld, but the facts as to what had already taken place. On the 7th of February, the nob:c earl, speaking in that house, traced the distreta of the planters to certain causes. The Earl of Mixt° here interposed a remark which was not heard in the gallery Lord STANLEY repeated he did not complain of the noble earl suppreseit.g opinion', but he complained of his giving a portion of the facts and suppressing others, which appeared in the same despatch, and which were entirely con. tradictory of the inference be had attempted to draw. Ile did com Plain that the noble 'earl, in quoting the declaration of the planters, that they had embarked 142.0001. in the co lony, and that, cons. quently, a great change in society was g oing on, bad not stated, at the ume time, that other fact, wherein the parties declared that that investment of 142,0001. had been a total and entire failure, and that they had lost all they had embarked. (Hear.) The noble lord then nail the portion of the memorial referred to, and said that the planters showed that they only received an annual return above their expenditure of 8181. towards defraying the interest at 6 per cent. of the money they had borrowed. The noble earl had suppressed all this, and of that he com plained. That was the only part of the case in which he thought the noble lord had misled the house ; for this docu ment was not laid before the c mamittee until the 28th of March, nearly two months after the noble lord'altatement Earl GREY—lnstead of being only laid before the com mittee on the 28th of hlarch, the memorial was reported by the committee on the 14th of March, and I believe it was laid before them in February. Lord STANLEY admitted that he had been mistaken as to the date. (Cheers.) • T]
