ANYTHING new, rational, and gentlemanly, in the shape of oratory . on the Ecclesiastical Titles 11111, cannot Is otherwise than welcome. We have therefore read Mt. WHITE-snit with pleasure, much as we are averse to the extreme towards which he tends. His avail draws the veil from over the mysteries of Irish administration, in order to bring down upon them resentment and blame, and to represent Lord CI-11(L] ISA as the gnat culpable. To an impartial, , eye, Immever, Mr. Witeresifie merely reveals the almost comical embarrassment* that beset every Irish! viceroy. We have written fur the maintenance of that dig nitary and his other. seeing that the Irish were of fenall at the iv al of their last symbol of local empire. Ind )et we can find many reasons, for desiring the abrogation of the Irish court, in the pro gn of the present debate. The tremendous stress' laid upon title, dignity, and precedence in Ireland, maintained us they are, by the existence of a court, has leen • great cause of the Roman catholic% risk bet their compact, and their acknowledged privileges in un effort to plate themselves in England, as in Leland, on a !sooting not merely of parity, but of superiority to protestant prelates. Thu whole fight has hien fi,r the hie of your eminence and your Unice. lord ClAiirstaiv gave these epithets as a compli ment to prelates, who really showed themselves grateful for the efforts of the great liberal party in the tmwire to raise Roman catholicism from the inferiiw position to which it had fallen. But what Dr. M a eta t% had won from the benevolence of the English government and QUEEN. tN %as dot • d to owe merely to the 1'401%. And what would have been the next move of these pretenders to apostolical succession to esta blish tindul and territonul dignity upon the Bible, Maven only knows; had not the unpudence of the assumpt roused the most patient and pro-catholic of English adt ll ill istrations to nsistanee. (If the two schools, which will always exist in every Roman catholic priesthood, the national and the ultra-utnntanc sehOol, Mr. WIIITEsIDE depicts the latter us the only dangerous one. The national portion of the Irish Roman catholic ecclesiastics he represents as favourable to education, and to harmony with the lay spirit of the age: mid he at tributes, with some reason, the commencement and Tit ohms. of the present religious quarrel to the emis lanes of limor. But the t.sol, is. that the national school of Irish prelates and priestluxxl consists of those 1., whom catholic Emancipation was gr u nted; to them rank was imparted, dignity allowed; and, considering the quantity of concession and soft sol der spent upon them, it is not to be won dered at if they are personally amenable. But, why should their snecessors be so? Political gra- Wide, we know, seldom outlives a generation. As things go, we do not see how it is to be expected that the national Roman catholic clergy of Ireland are to he henceforth re favourable to the English government and connexion than the clergy sent direct from Rome. As to Rome. or as to the Pore., his Holiness is nothing else than a splendid cat's-paw iu the hands of Austria to-day. of Frame to-morrow. And, con sidering the miserable political state of dependence and ithintilvornee in which the Port: is and must re main, we do not see why Lord Joux Hiss-ELL might not have treat influence with him and over him. We arc quite confident, that the power of an English minister. craftily and sagaciously applied, would squeeze more out of the Purr., than all the soft Golder of the Earl of CLAIIENIXitt could coax out of a score of Irish prelates, be they ever so national. The turn of European politics huts, indeed, for the moment. made the Pore a puppet in the hands of Austria. And SeitwarczExnEin; it was, not Plus, w Ito sent us WIsESIAN, just to give us something to do. and keep our heads from wool-gathering about Hungary. But the Pore need not always be Austrian. Lord P.itmEnstox has but to abandon constitution alism and to become a great stickler for the authority of Jesuits and gaolers, and he will forthwith become as gnat ti favourite at Rome as Lord SitnEwswiti. And, however the Irish and English Roman catholic laity and clergy consent to give up the independence of tlnir church to Rome, as they arc fast doing. the English minister will profit by it ; seeing he can inti midate and bamboozle an imbecile Ponta as well us an Austrian can. In another column will be found a remarkable document, being a despatch or complaint of the PorE's government to Austria. The papal ministers say. they are in the hands of the French army and generals, who seriously interfere with them. They say. moreover, that a revolution is possible in France on the renewal of the power of the PREsIDENT, and it mat so happen that Rome and Paris at once full into time hands of a red republican army. As for the Romans, say the Pores ministers, they are noto riously ,orrapt awl imbued.. (what a character of the subjects of one's own rearing and instructing), and thereto' e Rome has really no hope for independence and supremacy save in the bayonets of the Austrian soldiery. So mean and scroundrelly a document, maligning both French and Romans, and prostrating itself before a military and a Croat government. is certainly worthy of that model Rome, which Irish orator.. adore. Whilst. therefore, as public writers and lovers of national independence and freedom, we vastly prefer• a national clergy of the Roman catholic'', as of every persuasion, still we cannot but be of the opinion that the Roman catholics, by divesting themselves of a national church, and placing their clergy in depend-I eras: on a foreign potentate—called the Port:— we cannot but think that by so doing. instead of eventing. as they seek, from the control or influence of an English government, they, on the contrary make away their rights to a Pontiff, who is necessarily at the mercy of the great temporal power of England, or of other countries, and who, being at once the most igno rant and the most helpless of the class of princes, is the very essence of subserviency and servile motives. In past centuries, papal supremacy may have been a protection against feudal violence and brute force. In these times, which are and which arise, the papal power, far from protecting, can but mislead, weaken, and betray any thing, creed, nation, or class, that trusts to it. We juin, therefore, in some of Mr. WHITESIDE'S dis likes, but in none of his fears. Iv nothing that has recently fallen from Lord lotus RUSSELL will liberal opinion more heartily concur, than in the objection he so forcibly took the other day, at the snidsumartruseg of that excelkut association, the British aistiForeignSchool Society,to the constitution of the National Society, viz., that ib " terms of union " are such as to limit the very comprehensive title it has assumed, and to exclude a very large proportion of the children of England and Wales from its schools. The objectionable parts of those terms consist, of course, in the exclusive religious insfruction, I which is obligatory on all children in national schools ; in the compulsion they are under of attending divine service in the church of England; in the necessity for the teachers being members of the establishment; and in the powers over the schools conferred on the parochial clergy. These four defects in the constitution of the society have from the first operated not only to its disadvantage, but to that of the progress of education, and have deprived the so , eiety of all just claim to that nati"nal character it has so gratuitously and rather insolently assumed. But to these the original drawbacks, other and more serious defects have been recently added in the , pretensions which it has been made to advance for' the complete predominance of the priestly element in the management of parochial schools, and for the recognition of episcopal jurisdiction as the sole ap pellate resource in cases of all differences therein— be they religious or secular. In the original consti tution of the society, and even in its existing " terms of union," there arc no such pretensions as these. On the contrary, provision still exists in those " terms " for some exercise of lay authority in the manage ment ; and the appeal to the bishop is therein strictly reserved for points connected with religious instruc tion. In the course pursued of late years by the Committee of the National Society towards the . Co mmittee of Privy Council there has, therefore, been a complete disregard of the society's own fundamental rules; and the efforts now making by Mr. GIRDLE sToNE and his friends to induce the society to accept the " management clauses" of the Privy Council are, consequently, endeavours on their part to restore the society to its original position, which, at all events, was one of much greater usefulness, because one of far less restriction, than its present attempt to reduce all our parochial schools to complete de pendence on the parochial clergy and the bishops: and, through them, to claim for the church and the clergy a monopoly of the education of the poor. The origin and the object of the " management clauses" (about which so much has been said and so little understood) are plain and simple. They are meant to preserve the school-houses, no matter of Iwhat religious denomination, to which pecuniary as sistance has been grunted by the state to the pur poses of their foundation, to save them from that misappropriation and those abuses to which older schools of old foundation have been subjected, to per petuate the legal descent of the freehold in self-acting responsible persons; to place them under the guard ianship of local management; and to lay down defi• site principles whereon both the civil and ecclesias tical authorities shall, in their respective and easily distinguishable spheres, act. They aim, lin short, at the permanency of the trust and the efficiency of the management. They claim no right of interference fur the State; they linvolve 110 principle at variance with the Society's 1 " terms of union ;" they do not form on church schools any rules, ngulations, or conditions from Iwhich other schools are free. They provide for the ,just authority of the clergy and for the legitimate influence of the laity ; they place full power over re ligious and moral teaching in the Bishop of the diocese ; in establishing an appellate jurisdiction on other or secular matters, they give the ecclesiastical authority a proper place therein; and in compliance I with the foolish prejudices of the church, they strictly exclude, by a test, dissenters from all share in the . management. %Vied more could " management clauses" do for the church ? Nothing ; hut surrender the complete control of parochial schools, assisted be the state, to the spiritual power. And this it is which the Na tional Society has, with well-afticted humility, and in the name of that religious liberty on which its exclusive principles so flagrantly impinge. required should be done; this is what Mr. DENisos and his party claim us the indefeasible right of the church of England. And this is exactly what the Privy Council have refused alike to all sects, whether este tablishtsl, Romanist, or dissenting ; this it is that Mr. ChItI)LF..TONE and his friends on the 4th of June next will seek to disassociate the society from. At all times so monstrous a pretension as this on the part of the spaatuai pow,. would Lwisslzo to to met with the most determined resistance. But at present, when it is advanced and put forth as the practical working of what arc called "church prin. ciplcs ;" when it is handled by the tractarian leaders; when it is made as evidence that there is in the esta blishment a priesthood, and that the education of the poor is one of the exclusive duties of that sacerdotal body ; when the share of the laity is reduced by it to the burthen of furnishing these priestly educators with the pecuniary means for schools wherein they may teach and propagate their dangerous figments, uncontrolled either by the state or the laity; when, in the course of our ecclesiastical squab bles, such principles as these are at stake in this pretension of the spiritual power, as advanced by the committee of the National Society, to have the sole control of parochial schools aided by the state, the question that now agitates that society and its cliff:mice with the Privy Council rise quite to national importance. Abandon, we hear it said, a society which acts thus, which propounds such principles, which puts forth such pretensions; cease to subscribe to its funds; give your money to other and better institu tions. Under sonic circumstances this would be the rational course to pursue, but in the existing state of the whole ecclesiastical question this course of treat ment is rather more plausible than practical. For the -Va tiosot soeirty, however much we may dissent from its " terms of union," is nevertheless and notwithstanding a gnat and powerful corporation ; it is an association which, if we would, we cannot starve to death. For with the QuEEN at its head. with the episcopacy for its patrons, with the parochial clergy . throughout the country for its agents, and with a triennial QrEEN's letter to aid its funds, the National Society is as yet impregnable to assaults aiming at its overthrow. And as we cannot accomplish that, it is worth at least one great and united struggle by all its dissen• tients to try to turn an instrument which must remain powerful to a better sort of work than that it is now engaged in ; for, who knows that out of success a complete reformation and reconstruction of its principles may not flow. • At all events, the motive to make the effort is strong; for just as the great Prapagathat if Christian Kmacletlyr Seen ty has gradually become, in the bands of Mr. ERNEAT ifItWKIN? a nest of high churchmen, in which is reared a brood of bishops to poison, with their ecclesiastical views, the whole I globe; so is the National Society, in the hands of Mr. G. A. Dexisos and his clique, likelv to corrupt the minds of the youth of England by indoctrinating them with all the dangerous notions they themselves are enamoured of, about the church, the priesthood, and ecclesiastical authority. Sad and miserable enough is it to see all parties in *the church refusing communion and co-operation with dissenters and other religious bodies. But deplorable as this is, and unaccountable as in this respect has ; been the conduct of the low church party, who have ! not only rejected their natural religious but also their political allies viz., the liberal party : the 1 successful persistence of the National Society, with which is associated the reputation of , 1 the church, in its present career, involves conse quences even more serious. For it is by its own means that tractarianism and sacerdotalism are now secretly working in our parochial schools. And with this going on before our eyes, it is more than apathy, it is stupidity, not to make at least one effort to rescue the poor from the hands of such people. That effort will be made on the 4th of lune next ; and well it merits the support of all liberals. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN PERTIISIIIRE.—We have at length to report a highly favourable change in the weather, which commenced on Thursday last with some genial and heavy showers. Following the long•retarded vegetation, the start which all nature took was in•tanta neous ; the plane and beech arc now in full leaf, and the ash and oak nearly bunting. Wheat, which had begun to show a yellow leaf; has quite recovered, and is a splendid crop ; but the oat braird has suffered a little, and in some instances has been mown. The early potatoes arepeeping above ground, and look healthy and regular. The orchards present the richest promise imaginable, in all sorts ; and if we have no recurrence of the late sharp night frosts the crops must be immense. THE EXPRESS.

THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB. Mr. Walter, M.l'., has addressed the following letter (referring to a subject noticed in our paper of May 15), to the secretary of the Conservative Club : "40, Upper Grosvenor-street, May 16, 1851. " Sir,—My attention has been called to a paragraph in the Morning Ifreald of Wednesday last, in which it is stated that ' at a very numerous meeting of the Conservative Club, on Monday, two gentlemen, one of them a distinguished member of the bar, were requested by an immense majority, taken by ballot, to retire from the club, on the purely poli tical grounds that, in the estimation of the voters, the gen tlemen referred to hail ceased to be conservatives as the term is understood by the club.' " Although personally unknown to either of the gentle men who hose lwen thus summarily expelled from this so ciety, 1 cannot but feel interested in a proceeding which threatens the independence of every member of the club, and exposes them to a similar indignity, at the mere will of an arbitrary majority. "In what sense the terra ' conservative' is 'understood bv the club,' 1 know not, but I would suggest that the ma jority who have excommunicated Mr. Bethell and Mr. Tindal fur political heresy, ought, in fairness, to publish their arti cles of faith in terms so explicit as to leave no doubt in the minds of future candidates for admission as to the doctrines to which they arc expected to subscribe. Unless con servatism and corn laws be convertible terms, which I own I never understood them to be, I am at a loss to discover what these two gentlemen have done to merit the treatment they have received. " Under these circumstances, believing myself to be a conservative in the truest sense of the word, yet not choosing to place my political character in the power of a majority who may understand the term in a different sense, I beg to withdraw my name from the list of members of the Conservative Club. •' I have the honour to remain, Sir, " Vour most obedient servant "JOHN WALTER." ALLEGED MURDER NEAR MANCIIE . :TER.—Joseph Allinson, the man who was apprehended on suspicion of having murdered a carter, named John Hunt, whose body was found on the road between Ashton and Manchester, on the Ist inst., was brought up yesterday la final examina. Lion at the New Bailey, Manchester. Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Gorton, said he had made a post Rodent examination of the body, in conjunction with Dr. Harrison, on Monday last. On opening the head it was found quite healthy ; there was no congestion, nor anything to indicate the cause of death. On opening the chest, it was found that tour ribs on the right side were fractured. The upper lobe of the right lung was ruptured, causing great effusion of blood into the right cavity of the chest. The liver was also found to be ruptured, and great effusion of blood was found to have taken place in the cavity of the abdomen, which would at [once account for the cause of death. It would cause death almost immediately. It had probably been caused by the pressure of some roll substance on the chest, as of a man's foot or his kne es . There was no external mark of violence, as most probably there would have been if it had been caused by a blow from a hard substance. If a cart had passed over the body it was probable that the ribs on the other side would also have been fractured, but this was not the ease. Dr. J. G. Harrison, of Manchester, confirmed Mr. Brown's statement as to the result of the post mortem examination, but thought the injuries might have been produced by a blow from a hard substance, as an external mark was not always produced. Evidence was then adduced, showing that the two men had frequently quar relled, and been on bad terms with each other. A jealousy existed between them about their horses, each stoutly maintaining that his horse was the best. The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the mires, but was admitted to bail MONEY MARKET. TIIIS DAT. Two o'Ctocx. Business in the English stock market has been unusually restricted this morning, even for a Satur day, and though prices havo not undergone any quotable change, they have with difficulty been maintained at the rally which took place yesterday afternoon. The pressure for money does not seem to have yet passed over, money stock being still brought forward, though not so abundantly, and Ex chequer Bills still pressed on the market fur realisa tion. ('onsols have been quoted all day, as they lett off yesterday, at 971 to t for money, and 97 t to; for ,the lothofJune. Other stocks have scarcely been touched throughout the day. The official report of business is : Three per Cent. Consuls, 97;, ; ditto for account, 97;1,1; Three per Cents. lteduc&, 96! ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971, b ; Lung An nuities, 1800, 7 546. . . Exchequer Bills are again Is. lower, all sixes having been dealt in at -Its. to -Cs. prem. In India Bonds no transactions have occurred. The foreign stock market is generally firm, and in several descriptions a disposition to operate for a rise is manifested. Spanish stocks arc buoyant, es pecially the Active Bonds, the progress of the elections tending to promote a decided belief that the governmental candidates will in most instances be elected, and that the proposals for the settlement of the debt will consequently be car ried out. In Mexican there is little disposition to ope rate, hut the price is maintained. Buenos Ayres Bonds have attained a higher figure. A meeting of holders of Messrs.llaring's loan of 1824 has been called by the Spanish American committee for Thursday . next, the 22nd inst., at the London Tavern. Hussein Four and-a-Half per Cents. continue to creep up, being in , some demand for investment. Peruvian on the 1 other baud remains depressed, apprehensions being entertained by some cautious people that the value of the guano from which the payment of the divi dends is derived, will be diminished by the re cent discoveries in other quarters. Portu- L7stocks are also flat, and looking down. To business list is as follows:—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 57; Chili= Six per Cents., 103:. Mexi can, 35!, ). Peruvian Five per Cents., 1849, 811; ditto lkfeived, 37. Portuguese Five per Cents.

The colonial markets at the commencement of the week', were flat, excepting for Sugar, for which there was a good demand, and at full rates. Phis dulness was no doubt in a great measure attributable to the unsatisfactory state of the Liverpool Cotton market, which created some anxiety in that quarter, and reacted here. The sales of Sugar on Tuesday were very large, and went off well, but yesterday the market closed flatly, and, to sell, lower rates must have been accepted. Fur Coffee there has been very little inquiry, unless at lower prices, which have in sumo instances been accepted. Costa Itica is quoted at 2s. lower; and some pri vate sales of plantation Ceylon arc spoken of at 1.. to below last week's rates. Large sales of Spice have been held. Black Pepper has fallen about per lb. ; and Nut megs and Macc, Id. to 2d. per lb. ; but at these reductions sales were readily effected. In Tea a large amount of busi ness done, chiefly in common Congou, at fully id. per lb. reduction on last week's rates. TALLOW MAItKET.—THIS DAY. The market is again very quiet to-day, with but little business doing. Prices are quoted as follows:—Town 3.55. 6d. to 30s. ; Petersburg Y.C. on the spot, 37.. rid. ; %a and June, 37e.; last three months, 3M.. 6d. sellers. AVTRACITS.—Town Tallow, 38s. Oil. ; fat by ditto, 2s. id.; Yellow Russian, 391.; melted stuff, Ver.; rough ditto, 17s. ; Tallow graves, 95.; good dregs, 6s. The price of Russian on the spot during the week has , further given way, there being sellers of tine at 3Ss. per cwt., but dealers operate with caution, and only take sufli tient for their present wants, as there is every prospect of a further full, the stock being large and greater than last year, whilst rousuraption has become small, and rates rule above last season. For delivery there art sellers of New at :fps. ttd. for last three months of the year; few contracts, however, have been made. Home Melted is offering at a reduction, and is obtainable at 375. nett cash for present de livery, but the supply exceeds the wants of dealers, and is likely so to continue. Other sorts of Tallow are plentiful, and can be obtained under recent rates ; still operations continue of a trifling nature. The stock of Tallow is 9,006 casks greater than last year, and deliveries for home con sumption are less, still rates are from Is. 6d. to 2s. per cwt. above that time. Several arrivals of Tallow are looked for. I Fat is in large supply, and rates are on the decline, there being few buyers for present or forward delivery. WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY. - • The public sales of colonial and other Wool, which com menced on Thunder, consist chiefly of 33,500 bales of Australian, Port Philip, and Cape; 1,500 East India; and a small quantity of Buenos Ayres, Mogadore, and Egyptian. The attendanc, of buyers from the manu facturing districts is numerous, and, considering the large quantity exposed for sale, prices arc good. It will bo remembered that at the close of the last sale prices went a trifle lower, and at these rates the present sales hive opened. .1 fair amount of spirit is at present shown in the bieldingi. It is noticed that the increase of this branch of business has compelled the parties carrying it on to provide increased accommodation for the buyers. The number of persons l attending these sales, the quantity of Wool sold, and the continued high prices, speak well for the prosperity of the woollen trade. The sales will be continued about three weeks. The imports of the week arc 230 bales from the Cape, 2 front Hamburg, and 1,372 from Port Philip, INDIA AND CHINA. We have received our telegraphic despatch from Trieste, in advance of the overland mail from India.

The closing conferences of Dresden were to take place on the 15th. It appears that, after all, Prussia has run restive over most points urged by Austria. The Diet held a sitting at Frankfort on the 14th, at which M. von Itochow was introduced by Count ' Thum Thus, the Diet has not been opened by a so lemnity, and the Journal de Frankfort's article was • correct.

The determination not to smoke had reached Home, in consequence of which Prince Torloniu, the limner of the tobacco monopoly, was losing immense sums, and protested to the government against the nun-smoking ,conspiracy. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND SUPPOSED LOSS OF LIFE IN OICACECUURCII-STREET. THIS DAY. This morning, about a quarter before eleven o'clock, the inhabitants of Oraceehurch-street and its vici nity were dreadfully alarmed by a crash . 'bar to a peal of 0,...,1.w, .....wripani“l by an immense cloud of dust. As soon as the atmosphere was as little cleared it was ascertained that the iron rout of a building now in Nurse of erection had fallen iu, burying a numlicrof workmen who were employed on the premises. The scene of this terrible affair was the premises recently erected on the site of the old Cross Keys tavern. When the license was taken away from the above named house, the building was razed, and Messrs. 1101 and Corbett proposed to build a range of lite-proof offices in its place; fur this purpose massive brick walls were run from the front part of Graembureh-street down Hal yard. a distance of nearly two hundred feet. Cast-iron girders were then placed over several parts of the wall,. in order to lona separate comparUnents. The whole were then filled in with concrete, about 18 inches or two feet in thickness. The weight of the latter material no doubt proved too heavy for the walls to keep in their pruner lkftitions, and whilst same forty or fifty men wen• engaged upon the building, that portion of the wall nearest Bell-yard tell in with a crash that threw the whole neigh bourhood into a state of the greatest confusion and alarm. Loud shrieks, heard proceeding from several parts of the premises, convinced every one that something dreadful had happened, fur, owing to the party wall remaining standing, nothing could be seen from the outside of the building. Mr. Todhunter, the inspector of the city police, who was in the street, rushed into the place, when a scene fearful t o con template presented itself. A number of the unfortunate men were seen buried—some up to their necks, and blood gushing front their mouths, noses, and eyes. The other workmen were, at the same time, running about the dill', rent flours in a state of bewilderment, expecting every in• ~tint the remainder of the building to fall. The police suuu extricated the pair fellows, who were frightfully cut in different parts of their bodies. On going to another part of the ruins, to release three or four more, they found the walls in such a dangerous condition that they were for a time obliged to leave the poor follows to their fate, until the wall that was toppling could be removed. That having at length been elketed, the parties before mentioned were gut out, but they were by far more seriously injured than the others, and were at first supposed to have b.,en killed. They were placed in cabs and immediately removed to St. Thomas's Hospital. Owing to the serious nature of the injuries the latter have received, it is considered exceedingly ques tionable whether they can survive. The surgeons of the institution informed the reporter that three out of those received in the institution could not possibly recover. Up to half past twit's": o'clock this day eight persons were received into the hospital; the names, as far us could he ascertained, arc— Willium Ransom, about 3-; years of age—terribly cut on the head, and nails driven into his body. William Ilandley, about 2i years of age—fractured scalp. George Cooper—several compound fractures about the legs, and serious internal injuries. Michael Sullivan—ribs supposed to he broken, withsc rious injuries over the head and face. George injuries. The - names of the other sufferers could not be learned, owing to the poor fellows being in a state of insensibility. At the time this was written, oneohioe k, three other per sons remained beneath the ruins; and, owing to the dun geeous state of the walls, they cannot he reached for some hours. There is no doubt, however, of the poor fellows being dead, as not a moan is heard to proceed from the place where they lie immured. Workmen of all descriptions arc engaged removing the rubbish, which is a work of some trouble, as the heavy iron girders and rafters, basing fallen in different directions, tin the mass together. The building is numbered 17, Grace- church-street, and extends backwards to George-yard, Lom bard-street. The back of the premises is the portion that has given way ; and this is providential, as, if the street wall had fallen the result must have been still more dreadful. , The police have %topped the earriage-way in Oruembureh street, and a body of officers are on duty to keep the foot passengers out of danger, as the front of the building is I still remaining. Thousands of persons have been attracted to the spot, but the police aro very active in keeping buck ckc crowd. " - . . The premises weru intended for commercial chamber, and were nearly completed. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. Nothing has produced in Paris SO great a sensation to-day as the extraordinary n o te of Cardinal Anto nelli to the Austrian cabinet, published by the Inde peradance Be/go (and given in another column). Of the authenticity of this document there seems no question ; and certainly there never entered into the brains of an Italian priest a wilder or more unprincipled scheme than is therein unfolded. Antonelli's proposition is nothing more nor leas than a plot for a - hostile surprise and ejection of the French army of occupation by an overwhelming force of Austrians and Neapolitans, in ease the French go. vermnent should not voluntarily consent to withdraw its troops. I hear that England has made proposals to Franco and Spain for intervention in Portugal, if the monarchy should be upset by the republican party. M. de Sauveterre has just started for Lisbon, with fresh instructions for M. Adolphe Barret. • The committee of the Rue de Tivoli Club has ap pointed M. de Falloux to propose to-night at tho general meeting of the club a resolution in favour of total revision in a monarchic sense. There is, how ever, a minority in the committee, at the head of which stands M. Laboulie, which rejects revision altogether. Dr. Veron publishes to-day his second article in favour of abolishing the law of May. He declares that two months ago he held on this subject a con ference in his own house with important political personages, some of whom are now ministers. Louis Napoleon has according to him committed only ono fault, but that is easy to repair. 1k has allowed himself to be deceived by false am biances of union into abolishing universal suffrage. If the two elections of May, lPt.2, take place under restricted suffrage, the friends of order will be de terred front presenting themselves at the poll, while the socialists will throng armed to the electoral urn. The abolition of the law of May will disarm tho socialists, the right feeling of tlw country will How full in its natural channel and save France. Let, therefore, the National Assembly and the President open once more to the people the valves of universal suffrage. Let the Assembly prolong the powers of the President for four or live years, the formidable organisation of the socialists, which can only la maintained at a vast expense, and with the hope of nn immediate triumph, will fall to pieces, while work becomes abundant through peace, and pros perity revives. Such is the outline of this remark able article, which will find a wide echo throughout France. rienerul Aupiek is daily expected from Constan tinople. The government is going to start General Mouton, Minister or War, tbr the representation of the Finis term, vacant by the resignation of Admiral Romain 1 k•tbsses. The Duke and Duches. of Genoa are expected at Paris, on their way to the Exhibition in Englund. Always important as it is to know th e o pini on o f the Amnia! dot Iklndx, it is not an easy tank to translate into plain English the muddy columns of M. Armand Berth'. Forced at last to sty .1111.11111Ig upon the great question of the day, the ir.liotr mum bles, like an old lady disturbed front sleep, through nearly two of its broad columns, a muss of inarticulate, ponderous verbiage, out of which truss of hay you may gather this needle, that the D, hots thinks a legal revision, on the whole, the safer, as tut illegal one would justify a rising of the social bits aga st the law of May. The I) 6utu is, therefore, really for adjourning the revision and maintaining the law of May but It will give its vote to swell the relative majority in favour of a revision which cannot tako Marv. The /h4mits advocates two chambers, and seems disposed. without speaking very clearly on the subject, to support the prolongation of the Presi dent's powers. An organ of the government calls upon the muni cipal ttttt ells to pass in their proximate sitting reso lutions upon the revision of the constitution, and how they desire it, promising that the Assembly will not dare to refuse the wishes of :17,nrin communes.; ~• ........ To-day M. ]lupin resumed the chair of the pre4- deuce in the Assembly, amid numerous congratula tions from his friends. M. Leon Faucher brought forward the bill of which I gave notice some time ago for assimi lating the arrangements of the p i olice n I.rns and its suburbs to those of Paris, and establishing at refill of police at Lyons, with powers correspond ing to those exervisksi by the pretiet at Paris. Thu minister of the interior demanded urgency. This announcement was received with visible agitation by the benches of the Mountain. The urgency, notwithstanding the strenuous opposition of the member for Lyons, M. Chattily, wits adopted M. July, a membi,r of the Mountain, demanded the referenm of the bill to the examination of the com mittee on the Municipal Bill. M. Vutimeimil, the reporter of that committee, demanded, on the eon tra7, that the new hill should be referred to a special committee. After a speech of great violence from M. Ilaudin, who was twice called to order by General Redeau, summoned to replace M. Dupin in the chair, the Assembly voted the appointment of a spacial c 'MI: to examine the bill. The house proceeded to pass the amended minion of MM. ['retina and Sauvaire-lkirthelemy ' , dative to supplementary credits. The objections of M. Fould to the incise indication of the ways and means, to the obligation imposied on the finance minister to become the channel of presenting all such credits, and to the regular public-at' of the state of the floating debt, having been admitted us valid, the alterations introduced into the existing system are trifling. M. Fold (amidst loud laughter) presented a bill for the prolongati o n of the tobacco monopoly. A bill was then passed for increasing the salary of the officers and soldiers of the rekubliean guard who were decorated fur their services m June The sugar bill was then taken hand. . . . The diminution of duty proposed by the committee was opposed by M. Buffet, the Minister of Commerce. M. Dumas, on the contrary, defended the reduction, and was fur consigning in the bill the principle, at least, even if the house were not disposed to vote the reduction immediately. M. Charamaule opposed the reduction of duty on native sugar, and mem 1111 l ended that favour should be shown rather to the cultivation of the vine. The debate continued, and will nut be closed to-day. The committee for drawing up a bill regarding the street-sale of newspapers has adopted in its sitting of to-day the principle of the motion of M. Base 14 equally proscribing all journals from the pavement. But it has introduced un additional douse, au thorising the sale in newspaper offices, in booksellers' shops, at railway termini, and in reading-moms. M. Victor Lefrane is chosen member of the com mittee on the Avignon ltailway,in plum of Nl.Bineau. The metallic reserve of the Bank of France con tinues to increase, their being an augmentation of 41 millions in Paris, though a diminution of 24 mil lions in the provinces.
