Our Paris despatches of yesterday announce the fact that the difficulty produced by the inadmissible conditions on which the surrender of Abd-el-Kader was accepted by the Duke d'.lumale, have been sur mounted. The agents of the government have adroitly managed to obtain from the ex-Emir a letter addressed to the King, in which he places his fate unconditionally in the hands of Louis Philippe, and declares that he will gratefully submit to any arrangement respecting him which the King may decide on. The ministerial journals deny, in the most explicit and positive terms, the truth of the reports which have been for some days in circulation respecting the King's health. His Majesty, they say, enjoys his usual health, and transacts business daily with each of the ministers. We have obtai ned from private sources, information which is in accordance with this. The Address Committee of the Chamber of Deputies met on Saturday, to hear the reading of the d raft, as prepared by M. Vitet. The paragraph on the subject of Reform is entirely excluded, and the Address is said to be nothing more than an echo to the speech from the throne. The Chamber is convoked takingt.lny, to hear the Address and to fix the day for it into consideration. .Le Courrier Francais, adverting to the rumours respecting the indisposition of Louis Philippe which have been in circulation, says: For the last two days the future regent has assumed very considerable political importance, and eyes are now turning towards the rising sun ! H. H. the Due de Nemours has paid a visit to M. Mole, and the meaning of such a proceeding hes excited much curiosity. The following are tae particulars we have heard on that subject A great in:tuber of conservatives were disposed to with- draw their remit from the ministry, and the Duke was to hike= M. Molt of the cireanutance. The ttrertplied that the situation kad became too difficult, and that ha did not feel himself strong enough to govern It. Should it be inquired how we were let into the secret, we at all parties had an interest 1n revealing it; the of M. Mold, to excuse the abandonment of their the partisans of the ministry, to rally, by the news at dm refusal of M. Mole, the majority which threatened to willastraw from M. Ouleot. And, in fact, the dissident con servatives Immediately returned to their party; they have premised to stand firm, and to resist, as one man, the storm that threatens them. _ _ _ . Thus, the step taken by the Due de Nemours has had this two-fold result : it has siabfled the self love of M. Mole, and re-established for a time the tottering ministry. This wee not precisely the result aimed at by the future regent. L'Union Monarchique says: We learn from London that it is eertaia that at the sm- 14.11CeMellt of the year Lord Polmenton addressed a note to Prince Metternich, demanding of the cabinet of Vienna explanations relative to the augmentation of troops in the kingdom a Venetian Lombardy, and to the occupa tion of the principalities of Parma and Modena. This diplomatic document was likewise communicated to the other great powers, and to the government of Turin and Tuscany, who have since also addressed notes to the court of Austria, asserting that the collecting of the troops in the plains of Lombardy and of the Po, could not but increase the popular agitation. As yet the answer of the cabinet of Vienna has not reached us. The physicians who were appointed by the Civic Tribunal to examine Count Mortier have just depo sited their report. It is to the effect that they are unanimously of opinion that the count ought not to be authorised to leave tho maison de sante in which he is now detained. The Madrid mail of the 11th inst. has arrived. On the 10th, " After a short sitting," says our cor respondent, "in which no matter of interest came under discussion, the deputies of Congress met in sec tions for the appointment of the new committee to ' report on the further proceedings to be taken in the accusation of Salamanca. The result of the scrutiny, although not unforeseen by those who were in the secret, was favourable to Salamanca. Out of the seven commissioners chosen, live turned out to be his intimate friends : Fernandez San Roman, Vahey, Collantes, Marquis of liedmar, and Zaragoza; the two remaining members, Artetas and Set*, were of the preceding committee. This defeat fell like a thunderclap upon the ultras, many of whom, in security of victory, were absent.. The new turn taken by this affair, which absorbs so much attention, is due partly to the extraordinary activity of Salamanca's friends, partly to many of the govern ment party leaving their neutral perch to throw them selves into the scale of the accused, bat chiefly to the sudden diversion made by the progressistas in his favour. The progressistas, who to a man voted a day or two ago for taking the accusation into considera tion, completely stultified that vote yesterday, appa rently influenced rather by a desire to baulk the triumph of their political adversaries than by any in- Itelligtble principle. This unexpected result is ascribed to the influence of the Queen, excited in favour of Salamanca. General Espartero was confined by the influenza, under which it is said not less than sixty thousand persons were then prostrate. Letters from Berne, of the 13th, report that the Diet has resolved not to answer the note addressed to it by the Pope, on the ground that religious matters do not fall within its powers or duties. On the 14th the question of the discontinuance of the Federal camp was to have been discussed. The grand council of the canton of the Valais has completed the draft of the new cantonal constitution, and has decided on the eecularisatioa of all the pro \perty of the clergy and the religious orders in the c anton. It will be recollected that the monks of the Great St. Bernard, so celebrated throughout Europe for ! their hospitality to travellers, had resisted the pay ment of the fine inflicted on them in consequence of the part they took in the late civil war, and had withdrawn to Piedmont, leaving the monas tery of the Great St. Bernard deserted. The following explanation of the actual circumstances at- I tending this affair, which bus excited so much interest tin Europe, is given in a letter dated Siou (Valais), I the 11th inst. You are aware that the monastery of the Great St. Ber nard has been abandoned by its monks ; they have retired, with their sup rier, to a villa they caused to be built in Pied mont four years since, es they foresaw the events which have occurred. Their flight, notwithstanding the malevolent reports which have been circulated on this subject, was so. lunuiry ; the provisional government of the Valais have in nowise expelled them from their convent, and they are per fectly free to return thither. They have not been despoiled of their property, but merely condemned to pay a fine—a measure ahich was taken towards all those who excited to the revolt against the Diet. Tue fine, however, which was demanded of this convent, one of the richest of Switzerland, amounted only to some tens of thousands of franks, and will be covered, and more, by the offerings of those who visit the hospital in the course of the ensuing year. The reign of terror, in the most literal sense of the words, has commenced in Lombardy, and Austria appears determined to hold out to Italy and Europe an unequivocal proof of the measures to which she will resort to suppress even the least tendency towards any manifestation of public opinion in those states over which her sway extends. According to the moat recent advice% which come up to the 9th, the inhabitants of Milan were the objects of the most atrocious menaces on the part of the Austrian commander, itadetski, who, net limiting his threats to words, gave much more signi ficant indications of his purposes. All military officers, whether in actual service or in retirement, were forbid den to appear except in uniform and armed. The artil lery were kept night and day, with the guns loaded, and horses harnessed to them, stationed on the boulevards of the city, in the square of the chateau, and other commanding posts. Innumerable patrols of horse and foot incessantly traversed the streets, the cavalry with drawn swords, and the infantry, as is customary in the time of war, preceded by three men with the m uskets ready to fire. The unfortunate inhabitants were in terror from hour to hour that the soldiers, who had been confined to their barracks, except when on duty, since the m assacre on the night of the 3rd, would be again set ooee upon them. SPECIAL COMMISSION, COUNTY CLARE. (Feast OUR OWN REPORTER.) ENNIS, SATURDAY, JAN. 15. MURDER. OP PATRICK C LEARY .—CAPITAL CONVICTION. in —Michael Butler and Matthew Hourigan were given c h ar ge for having, on the 6 th o f Nov., 1847. at Gurtnalick, in this county, wilfully murdered Patrick Cleary ; Butler was charged in the indictment with having fired a shot which caused the death of Cleary, and the other prisoner with having been present, siding and abetting. The Attorney- General briefly stated the cue for the crown. The deceased was a man in very humble life, residing in the city of Limerick, and had met with his death in conse quence of having exercised the rights of a subject by prose cuting, at a late assizes in this county, some persons who had committed a gross on rage upon him. Ile was imme diately made the object of persecution in the neighbourhood. Haying had occasion to visit Broadford in the month of No vember last, he, when on his way home, was met by the two prisoners. One of them. fired at him, and inflicted a wound, of which he died on the 21st of that month. Previous to his death he made a dying declarationevidence , charging the two men at the bar with the attack ; and of a corroborative character would be adduced to show that the prisoners were seen at the place where the murder was committed, and was seen running away alter the firing of a shot. Patrick Mnlqueeny examined : I live at Broadford in this county. I remember the 6th of November last. On that day, about half-past five o'clock, I saw the prisoner Butler and another man together, near where the murder of Cleary was committed. I heard of the murder immediately after wards. I beard a shot immediately before. I maw Butler sad his companion tanning. The witness was cross-examined, but nothing to affect his direct testimony was elicited. James Fleming, police constable : I saw the deceased man lying on the road. I asked him what had happened, and he repaed that he had been shot by a man named Butler. Cleary had a wound on the breast, which I discovered to be a gar-shot wound when I brought him to the police-bar racks. I afterwards conveyed the wounded man to Barring ton's Hoepital, in Limerick. On the way he said he believed that he was dying, and repeated his statement that it was Michael Butler who pads hot him, Martin Gallaher, police-constable, proved to the arrest of the two prisoner', and to a declaration of the dying man, made in their presence. W. Going, J.P., and Mr. Bentley, J.P., proved to de clarations made by Cleary, but did not hear him express a belief that he was in a dying state. Mr. W. Roche, J.P., of Limerick : I saw the demised man in he Hospital. I had not knowa him before. I told the poor man of the hopelessness of his state, and that he should answer my questions with the same truth as if he were before the judgment -Drat of God. I did not hear him say he was dying, bat I told bins he was on the point of die isolation, and he [The asse d ocume nt was h ere nted to what 1 basaipd, oduced.] and then made a declaration. r That is his dying declaration. The man added, lf I sat to die, I forgive them." The crown proposed to read the declaration as evidence. Mr. O'liea objected, as there was nothing in Mr. Roche's testimony to show that the man believed he was dying. After a brief discussion on the point the court ruled that the document was admissible. itortSS o. 433.] LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 18, 1848. [3d. Mr. Roche then read the following document : " County of the city of Limerick to Wit —The dying de elaration of Patrick Cleary, taken before 'Wns. Roche, J.P., on the 18th Nov., 1847, at Limerick : " I, Patrick Cleary, of the Engliehtown, in the city of Li merick, when returning from Broadford, county of Clare, at about half-past five o'clock, upon the 6 th of November east, was fired at by a person named Michael Butler, and seriously if not mortally wounded in the chat and shoulder, in conse quence of which wound I am now languishing at Barring ton's Hospital, in said city. I also saw a person named Matthew Hourigan in company . with the said Butler, and seemingly aiding and assisting in said crime. There was also a third person of the party whose name I did not know ; end I thus make this deposition as my dying declaration, being informed that I have little or no hope of recovery, and I entice it, therefore, with the same truth sad solemnity as I shall answer for it before the throne of Almighty Bed."

From the day of his admission he was under the impression that he would die. Oa the 17th November, the day before lie made the declaration, I told him he was dying, and he fully assented to it. The witiow of the deceased was next produced. She proved that in leas than a.querter of an hour before her husband's death she asked h im was he sure that Butler and liourigan were the men who attacked him, and he replied that he knew he was dying, and was positive as to their identity. The case for the crown closed here. Mr. O'llea addressed the jury for the defence, urging upon the consideration of the jury that the deceased might have been easily mistaken in the identity of the parties, and that, in the absence of any strong eorrob,wative evidence, it would be unsafe to come to a verdict which would deprive two human beings of life. The Solicitor-General replied for the crown, and the Lord Chief Justice having summed up, and commented on the 1 evidence at some length, The Jury retired to their room, and after an absence of twenty-tire minutes, returned to court with • verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. The prisoners, who heerd the verdict with great com posure, were then remanded. DEATH OF THE EARL OF PORTS, K.G.—lt is with much regret we announce the death of this much esteemed nobleman, which took place yesterday, at Powis Castle. Sir Benjamin Brodie, who was sent fur on Saturday to attend his lordship, returned last night, bringing the in telligence of his lordship's demise, which arose from an acci dent whilst out shooting. DEATH ot , PROFESSOR FINN MAGNUSEN.—The announcement of the death of this distinguished Icelander will be received with sorrow by all friends of northern philology. He was horn at Skalbolt, in Iceland, in the year 1783. Having shown promise of those attainments for which hr was afterwards so deservedly celebrated, he was I sent at an early age to the University of Copenhagen, where I he completed his education, and took the usual degrees. Lavine . t r u e t t n u e rn d e h d is to att; e nli on- onfor " dF ‘ ti t te i Te e th to ers h :le s a " :ll l7 ln o lBo o the and was appointed en advotate in the Supreme Court ai Itejkjavik, the capital of the island. In this position be remained with little interruption till the year 1812, when he left Island and established himself permanently in Copenhagen, in order that he might devote himself ex clusively to Northern literature and science. His pro found learning, and rare powers of imparting that learning to those who listened to him, coupled with his amiable 1 manners, soon secured for him the friendship of 06 1 most distinguished men of the day, and his late I Majesty King Frederic VI. as well as hs present Ma jesty King Christian, were pl eased to bestow on him especial I marks of their favour. In 1815 he was made Professor of I Northern Literature in the University of Copenhagen, and in 1820 Keeper of the State Archives ' • he was also* Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog , and that of St. Anne of Russia.

TIIE CHURCH MILITANT. —During the alarm caused by a ..hreatened invasion of this country by the French, in Is9B, the following singular annouccement appeared in the public papers :—" The Bishop of Winchester has sanctioned the whole of the clergy of Hampshire, and especially of the Isle of Wight, taking up arms in the present crisis, and also to do whatever they may think best for the service of their country." EXTENSIVE FRAUDS IN GOLD EARS.-011 Stith , - day a re-pectable-looking young man, by trade a jeweller, was brought before the sitting magistrate at Birmingham, charged with fraudulently cutting off the away marks ad , affixed to bars of pure gold, and affixing them to • epnrions metal which he b sold as genuine to Messrs. Alston and Co., refiners and bullion merchants of that town. The frauds committed by the prisoner already detected are said to amount to upwards of 1,5001. The prisoner was remanded. HIGH PRICE OF GA9.—Much dissatisfaction prevails amongst the Newark tradesmen on account of the high price charged for gas, more especially since the erection of works upon the premises of the Midland Railway Company, who are now enabled to manufacture the article at less than 2s. Gd. per 1,000 cubic feet, while the Newark Company are charging 7e. 6d. Many of the inhabitants have repeatedly expressed themselves to the effect that, it the company would be content with a fair profit, they would at once istroduce it into their eetablishments to a much greater extent than at present, thereby enhancing the consumption.

Two o'Clock.—Early this morning we had a failure reported from the Stock Exchange of a broker of rd spectable standing, and for a large but as yet not precisely stated amount of differences It is under stood that the immediate cause of his dif f iculties was the default of one of his principals out of doors in supplying the means for cover ing the losses sustained on his account for spe culative business done, and which are rated at the very heavy sum of 20,0001. This statement is pro bably exaggerated, as the whole liabilities of the broker himself are not supposed to exceed from 20,0001. to 30,0001, According to current report the latter is prepared with assets for paying 158. in the pound down, and the remainder with time, in which case no very grave inconveniences may pro bably result for the market. But in general it has been found that first estimates are much too favour able, and should be e ntertained with caution. It is rather to be feared that other casualties may super vene before the winding up of the settlement now in progress, to-day and to-morrow, from this unfortunate commencement, as the account, so far as left unar ranged to this the last day, is still believed to be heavy, with a broad margin of differences to balance. - The failure referred to somewhat disturbed the course of prices, though not materially. Consols were 871 to 1 for money ; they are now 87 to 1, both for money and the account now opened, so that there is not a fraction of continuation for time. Reduced Threes, 871 to 1.

A large number of Bulls, some of them fat, ap peared in the market, but many of them returned home un sold. Few sheep were penned, and business in this depart ment was very slack. In the Pig market very few fat ones appeared, and prices of both strong and small stores were lower than last market. The show of Horses was small, and the attendance of buyers far from numerous.

IN estimates of the comparative merits and de merits of different modes of taxation, the cost of collection is an important item.—From a table in the finance accounts of last year, it appears that the cus toms duties are collected at a coat amounting to 51. lls. 10d. per cent on the gross receipt; the excise duties, to 6/. Os. 10d.; the stamps, to 21. Is. 81d. ; the taxes, to 31. 6s. 4;d. These figures de not convey an 'adequate idea of the objectionable character of the excise, as a source of revenue, viewed solely with regard to the expenses of collection. Of 15,563,0811., the gross receipt from excise duties in the year 1846, only 14,345,645/. found their way into the exchequer ; and the payments made during the year on balances outstanding at its commencement are included in the first sum, while the amount of balances and bills out standing at its close have not been excluded from the second. It cost about a million and a half to collect fifteen millions and a half. Still, half the wastefulness of this tax remains un shown. The manufacturers of the commodities upon which excise ditties are levied are compelled to work under the surveillance of the excise officers: their processes are impeded, their expenditure in wages in creased, the adoption of more :cor.omical and effective methods prevented, by their being obliged to work according to regulations laid down with a view to facilitate inspection and render evasion of the duties impossible. The cost of production is hereby en hanced, and the productiveness of labour and capital diminished. The excise tax diminishes the fund out of which it is to be paid—it lathe eld story of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Paper, which is one of the comparatively small number of articles still abandoned to the tender mer cies of the excise, may serve as an illustration of these general remarks. Every paper maker is obliged, by the act passed in 1839 to "consolidate and amend" the laws for collecting the excise upon paper, to aid and assist the inspecting officer " with a sufficient number of his servants." The effect of this obligation was, sometime ago, planed in a striking point of view by the Edinburgh Weekly Journal: We lately visited • paper mill where the officers were em ployed generally for six or seven hours each day in charging the paper, and we counted seven as the number of servants (men and boys) actually employed at the moment to do the excise work. On another occasion there were eight in at tendance on the supervisor. The expense to the manufac turer. at this one mill, is reckoned by him at not much less than 31. per week for wages alone in excise labour; while the goods, by being frequently moved aid knocked about. are sometimes seriously injured. This is • money tax of 1501. per annum, by which neither the trade nor the country is benefited, but the contrary—and is but a portion of the heavy pecuniary expense entailed on those engaged in this proscribed manufacture. The consequence is, that between the effects of the direct tax paid under the name of excise duty, and the indirect tax paid in the shape of increased cost of production, the selling price of paper is so augmented that the British manufacturer cannot engage in an export trade, and even finds it difficult to keep his ground in the home market. This was explicitly affirmed by Mr. Cowse, now member of parliament for Edinburgh, at a public meeting ; and to feel the fall force of Mr. Cowes's statement, the reader must bear in mind that there is a customs duty of 3d.. per lb. on foreign brown paper imported into this country, and of Ad. per lb. on all other sorts. I may state (said Mr. Cowan) that as a manufacturer of paper, I have had for a great number of years to con tend with foreign makers, who have, in consequence of the working of the ex, ise laws, a superior advantage over the home manufacturer. For instance, they can bring their manufacture into the London market, and dispose of their pods sada the advantage of a bounty from the British le gislators. I late l y received an application from one of our moot distant colonies for a large supply of the coarsest paper we manufacture, the cost of which is about 35. a ream ; and what do you think is the duty ? It is about 60 or 70 per ' cent. It is quite tree that we get the drawback; but when one considers the great amount of labour we have in making, printing, packing, carriage, and shipping, and loss of time, more especially upon • low-priced article, it becomes in fact a complete prohibition on the exportation of paper. It appears from these statements that the excise adds demonstrably to the price of every pound of paper used in this country, I id. (the excise duty) and 3d. or 41d. (the customs duties proved inadequate to prevent the concurrence of foreign paper in the home market) on the coarser and the finer sorts respec tively. Bat the entire increase in the price must ob viously be much more than this. Manufacturers have learned that low profits on large and numerous transactions,are preferable to high profits on a limited business. The manufacturer who can produce for the foreign as well as the home market, can afford to sell his goods to the home consumer at lower prices than he who is restricted to the home market. The British paper-maker cannot venture into foreign markets ; he cannot even keep the markets of our own colonies. How should he ? Let us see what Mr. COWAN said as to the comparative pressure of taxation on the British and foreign paper manufacturers : I had the honour of a visit a few days ago from a very intelligent Italian, named Signor Ceri, who has been sent to this country by the Pope to Father information on the best mode of forming and conducting railways. This gettleraan happens to be an extensive paper-maker in Tuscany ; so ex tensive that he supplies his own government, the Pasha of Egypt, and the Grand Seignior in Constantinople. When he .passed through our manufactory, we happened to be charging paper at the time. Looking earnestly at what the officials were doing, he put the question to me, " Pray what are all these men so busily engaged about ?" I replied, that these were excise officers weighing and charging the duty on paper. lie expressed great astonishment at what I said, and told me that at home ho paid 71. 10s. a year in the shape of a direct tax. These considerations must be kept in mind while reading the following statement made by the pub lishers and booksellers of Edinburgh, of the propor tion which the excise duty bears to the whole cost of the p a per on which our books and newspapers arc printed The price of paper for a magazine or pamphlet containing six sheets dewy, the paper weighing 25Iba. per ream, at Ott. per lb., 1,000 copies printed will be 111. 14s. The duty being lid. per lb., and 5 per cent. over, it necessarily follows that on such a pamphlet or magazine the tax will be about 21. Is. On an ordinary sized octavo volume of twelve sheets, and the impression also a thousand, the tax will of course be double that amount, or 4/. 2s. By doubling the impression, the seem paid as tax is doubled, and so on. As much paper is employed weighing from 28 lbs. to 30 lbs. per ream, the tax is correspondingly higher, and it may be stated as a general truth, that on most of the octavo-sized volumes issued, a tax of about 61. is exacted. From these facts the reader may judge how heavily the excise duty upon paper presses upon all, and especially upon cheap, newspapers. Let him take this surcharge in combination with the stamp duty on newspaper!, and the advertisement duty—to the separate consideration of which we have recently de voted articles—and he will be able to form some idea of the extent to which unequal taxation clogs every attempt to reduce the price of his newspaper. THE application for a mandamus to compel the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and his officials to hear the opposers to the confirmation of Dr. lissirDEN has again prolonged the duration of the tiresome con troversy which has so long occupied the columns of newspapers, and the minds of those who are in terested in ecclesiastical matters. We have more than once suggested, in the course of the proceedings, that such a writ would form the proper remedy, if any of the ecclesiastical functionaries who were re quired to take a part in carrying out the nomination of the crown should hesitate to perform their respec tive offices. A recusant chapter or a reluctant arch bishop might have been compelled to elect or confirm by the Court of Queen's Bench, which is no respecter of conscientious scruples. It was scarcely to be expected that the opponents of the election would , have been allowed a permanent or temporary opportunity of appealing to the letter of the law I against the agents of the crown.
