Better indocile feel t: ai bili t i e s of powe r thenteo` than array them in opposition to all government from the first. Had the Girondins, at the commence ment of the convention, not had the King, the court, and the ministers, to combat, they would have been moderate from the first, and would have spared the country the reign of bloodshed and terror. LstiaeTthit's policy strikes us as the wisest. It is evidently, as we said the other day, to leave the ultra-democrats no margin—to give them no theme of declamation, no object of hostility. To make every thing--eonstitution, assembly, government, as demo cratic, and equal, and open as possible, and to defeat, confound, and bathe them by the ever-vigilant good sense, temper, and moderation of the msjority. The closeness of the division, 11l against 38S, on the proposition of M. DonN ES, shows that the mode rates are in no such secure and overwhelming majo rity, and that their conduct demands the utmost cir cumspection. There are, it is believed, at least 100 legi timists in the assembly, who of course will shift their I cotes in such a way as to aggravate anarchy and con fusion, and bring the republican system by degrees to a *Trent quad absurdum. This, indeed, is the most dangerous element of the aseembly. It is this, indeed, that has made a number already propose open voting. Bat the character of men and parties cannot long remain ambiguous ; and the . presence of such enemies of both republic= or constitutional government may have the eth et of warning all lovers of liberty to unite against the common foe. We are glad to see the communist champions and ideas so much at a discount. Poor Louis BLANC is eclipsed—his three-legged stool whipt from under him. The chief danger appears to us to lie in war. The Austrians seem not only bent on defence, but on the re-conquest of Imnbardy and Eng land, it is to be feared, is abett them in this aggressive policy. Not only is UGENT marching to reduce Venice and thinforce the line of the Adige, but by the last accounts an Aus trian force is threatening to break through the neu trality of Switzerland and enter the Orisons, in order to menace Milan from the Splugen. Should the Austrians execute such a purpose, or seriously threaten Milan, it is not to be rxprted that any French minister could resist the inevitable impulse and vote of the National Assembly to march at once to the liberation of Italy. TUE miscellaneous estimates for the year are be-' ginning to ooze out. The " civil contingencies" have made their appearance. The estimate of what will be required under this head for 1848 is 100,0001. The expenditure actually defrayed under this head in 1845 was 85,4541. ; in 181:t it was 113,6421. ; in 1847 it was 93,115/. The probability is, that the expendi ture of 1848 will be in excess of the estimate. The items of expenditure under the contingency bead are the small pickings of office. Each is too I petty in itself to arrest attention, though their multi plicati el verifies the Scotch proverb, that " many a little makes a mickle." They are, too, of a kind that defies criticism, except by the inmates of Downing street, who are rarely addicted to the mood critical. In short, this is a page in the national ledger of which a satisfactory explanation can scarcely be hoped for. But there are some things in the mate rendu for 1847 that provoke inquiry. The civil list is not a niggardly one. Yet we find included among the "civil contingencies" of 1847 a sum of 2,2631. for "expenses defrayed by officers of the household, &c., not being part of the civil list."' These expenses relate entirely to matters of show for adding to the state of royalty, or exercises of hospitality by the Sovereign. The Lord Chamber lain has drawn upon the public for " furniture or Whitehall Chapel," p robes, collars, badges, &c., for knights of the several orders," and even for " silver trumpets, &c., for the Life Guards and household trumpeter." The Master of the Horse has had recourse to the same re fuge of the destitute (courtiers), for the travelling ex penses of the)iing of the BELGIANS, the Prince of LEIN INC. Es, and other continental royalties, while on visits to this country. Under the bead of " expenses of entertaining and conveying persons of distinction, &e.," there is a sum of 7,594/. for the passages of governors going to, or coming from, their government', or " being passed," to borrow a phrase front the law of settlement, from one government to another. There are also a number of minor entries for passages of in ferior colonial dignitaries. These random shots ex cite a wish that we could get some such thing as an annual colonial budget prepared for parliament. At present it is impassible to say what the government of the colonies costs us. W e must hunt the outlay through half-a-dozen estimates. In one we find the cost of the Colonial-office, in another of the governors, and in a third their travelling expenses. And, when we turn to that estimate which purports to be of colonial expenditure, we find entries there with which the colonies have no more to do than the nether country. The whole expense of this department is so successfully concealed by being scattered through various accounts, that one is tempted to suspect a de sire of concealment may have prompted this unbusi ness-like practice. The church to wt ich the British state most largely contributes is that which is constantly found picking up additional stray sums in little out-of-the-way corners. Accordingly, it excites no surprise to find the transportation of four bishops to two districts of New South Wales, to Adelaide and the Cape of Good Hope, costing the country 9501., and set down among, the civil instead of the ecclesiastical contin gencies. In addition to this we find a contingency of 1,2001. "distributed among such members of the episcopalian clergy of Scotland as are most in need of asssistance ;" 811. for the passage of " the Bishop of JERUSALEM and suite" from Malta to Jaffa; 301. "for the entertainment of the Bishop of ANTIGUA and his chaplain," &c. &c. One set of entries there is which has every mark of a system of jobbing—" expenses incurred in passing letters patent and commissions under the great seal" for various purposes. The law clerks who enjoy these jobs contrived to make 3531. by the "dividing the diocese of Australia into four distinct and separate dioceses." What they got by the charter establishing the colony of North Australia does not appear, but the " revoking " of that charter put 341. 10s. into their pockets. In the course of the year 1847 they contrived to make 1,244/. and their Irish brethren 981. by one job. Commissions of inquiry contribute largely to swell the amount of the civil contingencies for 1847—fully one half of them being commissions nominated only to gain time to shelve awkward questions or proposed reforms. There is an item of 1031. "to make good the deficiency of the fee fend in the Jewel-office of the Tower of London for one quarter." There is 959/. to Messrs. Gurney, for the attendance of " a short-hand writer" on political meetings in Ireland, and 71. 163. Gd. for " expense incurred on account of the conveyance of troops in consequence of sudden outbreaks and disturbances" in that country. Alto gether there is much in this document to suggest a wish that it could be overhauled by some one suffi ciently acquainted with the arcane of office to throw light upon it. MADRID, MAY 6. i Narvaez is at his wits'-end for money. lie has no better scheme for the nonce thau to tread exactly in the foot. prints of Salamanca. The (Pszette of today contains a decree creating Treasury bonds to the amount of a million sterling. They will be divided into four series of 1,6, 10, and 20 thouund reels. The bonds will bear interest of 6 per cent. per annum, payable by instalments, on Oct. 1, 1848, Feb. I, June 1, and Oct. 1, 1819, on which last day the capital will be repaid. This newly-created paper will be received in lieu of the metallic money required in the purchase of na tional property, and will be admissible as effective money at par, in all deposits and cautions exacted by the government. Those bonds which are not paid by the government from whatever cause on Oct. 1, 1849, will be accepted at their full value in payment of taxes and contributions of all sorts. A junta, composed of the directors of the Treasury, of the state property, asd of the bank of San Fernando, will proceed to the partial negotiation of the bonds by public competition, every proposal being admissible that does slot fall below .500,00) reels. In case the competition should not take place the bonds will be adjudicated to the bank of San Fernando, according to a contract stipulated previously. The auction is fixed for the 20th in Madrid and the provincial capitals. Mr. Bulwer is said to have presented a freak note to the Spanish government. The fact of Lord Palmerston having lately pressed the Portuguese to pay their English debts, leads many to suppose that he will pursue thesame policy towards the Spaniards. Any measure that can embarrass the present government may be expected to be applied after such a display of sauciness on their part. --- - - - RP:MOURF.I) CIIANGEi IN PARLIAMENT.

The Morliteur of this morning announces that the ,fits appointed for Sunday next will not be postponed, as had been erroneously stated. The fall programme of this national pantomime is given in the official journal. The banquet in the Champ de Mars, with the magical transformation of the tents, is, how ever, omitted. The oxen with the gilded horns are replaced by horses, and the proces sion of the clergy is omitted. All denominations of ecclesiastics having declined any participation in the solemnity. The entire line of the boulevards, from the Bashle to the Madeleine, the Rue Royal, Place do la Concord, Avenue de Champs Elyskes, Palais des Veuves, Pont de Jena, and the Champ de Mars, are to form an immense theatre for this spectacle. Among the performers in it I observe the corps diplomatique, but have not learned whether Lord Normanby and his colleagues intend to march with the young girls is white—the orpheonistes, opera singers, and other artistes that M. Ledru-Rollin has ordered to be marshalled for the occasion. The Club IKmocratique of the national guard of Paris has just posted up a strong protest against the two proclamations, one by the Societe Itepubliceine, the other by the Societe des Droits do l'Homme, ac cusing the national guards of having "in fratricide banquets prepared the troops of the line for a St. Bar tholomew of tho workmen of Paris,"and menacing "the bourgeoisie with the justice of the organised sections." Theclub declares thechargeagainst the national guard to be a calumny, and protests against the existence of armed sections when the national guard and the army are the only bodies which can be militarily organised in the republic. It is stated (says the Mcssager) that the rooms in the public buildings assigned to the different clubs are about to be withdrawn from them, and that they will henceforth be obliged to hire at their own expense the places for their meetings. P.S. M. Sobrier has just placarded a proclamation to the democrats, in which he invites them to meet , on the 12th (this day) at noon. He requests that on , this occasion there shonld attend the meeting none but the heads of the clubs, ateliers, and other dele gates. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.—WEDNESDAY. We resume the report of this session where our yesterday's despatch left off : M. Louts-BtAse , I present myself before you with the mind tree tr..m all personal considerations, and from all the feelings of constraint and rest rye which the circumstance of being a member of the government imposed on me. We have been reproached with having raised the question of labour ; but it was not we who raised it, but tire evolve , tion ;it was raised on the fi rst day, in the midst of the combats ' and the day after we received it front the hands of the stones ing people. I come to demand from you to give force to the' executive power which you have ju-t founded—l come to ask you to establish a special minister of labour and pro gress. ((heat agitation.) When 1 entered en power, I hoped that the crisis which we owe so the late government would not last long, and that society contained in its bosom security for the m.iintemince of order; but I was soon forced to entertain another opinion, in prewar's of the calumnies of which we were the victims. Well, I can declare that, in examiniug my conscience, I have nothing with which to reproach myself. If I have done good—and I truly believe I have—l owe it to the people, who have bestowed their confidence on me. I hesitate not to declare that ins: rable history, in its page of truth, will say that, in passing through a terribleceisis, we have maintained order, although the people were wretche d and starving. (Prolonged movement.) And why did the people suffer—why were they in want? Because it was said to us, who were unable to de anything, " Your ideas are Utopian, —if not, apply them to the people." Because it was said, " You see these theorists, who buoy you up with chimerical hopes; hut what have they done ? Ilave you: wives cemed to be unhappy and hungry ? uil " (Renewed agitatioa.) And yet we kept the people tranq by giving them hops when we could not give them reality ? It was thus that we replied to all the calumnies brought against us. I have declared that until a constitution should be formed, I would remain a stranger to power. Bitter annoyance, it is true, has entered my heart, but not hatred. But it is certain that I have repeatedly been the object of calumnious attacks — that—(at this m .ment great tumult broke forth, which lasted for some time)— I am conviuccel that there is not one amongst sou who would not have had the beast cruelly wrung if he had been the object of attacks similar to those which have been directed against me. (Cries of " No, no '•') They have affected me the mare, from the fact that they were not levelled against my ideas. if my ideas be false, let them succumb ; but as to my intentions--(interniption, and cries of " No, no !")

Great agitation prevailed for some time. At length the hen. member was able to make hims If heard, and pro ceeded)-1 cannot tell you how happy the sentiments you have just displayed render me.

(Expressions of doubt.) But you who love the people do not delay to come to their assist ance. Remember that hunger admits of ao delay—that it rejects the provisional. What you have to do fur the people who have brought you here, is to occupy yourselves with their wants—is to create a ministry of labour and pro gress. (Loud laughter hero interrupted the speaker.) A Member—" Vous sites Orff,vre, M. loose !" (Increased laughter.) M. Louts IDA:lc—Do you suppose, by chance, that I am interested in the question ? (Renewed laughter.) If lam desirous to witness the triumph of ideas, to which I have de voted my life, it is because these ideas seem to me the cowl ter-blow of the feeling that at present prevails in society. 1 say that the nomination of a ministry or labour and progress would have for its object to supply a remedy to a terrible situation—yes, terrible, teerible, as I can declare; for I have closely examined it. You were told yesterday, that there are no longer political parties in France. I believe it.

The embarrassments of the ministry, financial and political, continued to increase, the revenues could not be collected, the public employees were unpaid, and even the pay of the troops was irregular. An insurrection had broke out in the north-eastern part of the kingdom, headed by Col. Velenza,who had raised the country, dismissed the authorities, and advanced upon Jamie, the chief town of the Phthio tide, where the garrison consisted only of 300 men. The government had sent Gen. Mamouri to repress this insurrection, and had sent the steamer Otho, with a detachment of light troops, under Major Loulio, against it. Other parts of the kingdom had also manifested signs of disorder. At Phile, only three leagues from Athens, the orders of the government were disre garded. The installation of a mayor had been resisted, and government were obliged to send an armed detach ment to enforce it. Two men were killed and seve ral wounded. These journals say that the law authorising t he national hank to suspend cash payments for five months had not produced any unfavourable effect. The bank notes were received at par in all ordinary payments. On the 30th it was said that the revolt had ex tended, and was expected to extend to a revolution in GERMANY; THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1848. The Madrid mails of the 6th have arrived.

Pins IX., whose came was so lately the symbol of Italian emancipation, and who was personally the idol of the people, and now pronounced a " reactionnaire," is "garde a vue" in his palace, and left nothing but the name of the sovereignty of Rome, and scarcely even that. The letters of to-day are more detailed, and some of them apparently more recent in date than those already given. I say apparently, because the dates are in some cases obscure, thus, we have a letter dated Leghorn, the 4th, referring to events of great importance alleged to have taken place at Rome, but without assigning their date. This letter affirms that a republic was proclaimed in the Roman States. The fact, however, is given without either dates or details. It is added that the people pro claimed the temporal forfeiture of the Pope, named a laical provisional government, and proclaimed the republic with acclamation. The centre coup of these events (says this writer) was felt at Leghorn. Numerous groups of people formed in the streets. Republican placards were posted on the walls. The crowd "eo tousse" uttered shouts of " Long live the Romans, death to tyrants and traitors." Before this evening, perhaps, the Tus can dynasty might have survived. Another letter mentions a report that the Pope had been obliged to leave the Quirinal and to retire into the castle of St. Angelo. Dates from Milan of the 6th, give a letter from Brescia, dated the 4th,containing news from Vicenza, announcing that Generals Durand° and Zuechi had completely defeated 20,000 Austrians from Udine and Izonzo. This, however, must be taken as the Italian version of the matter. On the 3d of May there was a great demonstration at Livonia against all the ministers, except Corsini. l The people eventually demanded the convocation of the assembly. The governor promised the crowd to obtain the consent of the government to the wishes of the populace. We must premise that what follows is on the autho rity of the Gazette of Milan of the sth and Gth, and is, possibly, exaggerated. From Venice we learn 'that Zucchi, being summoned to capitulate, answered the summons by discharge of cannon, which made great carnage among the body of the enemy who had ad vanced to l'almanuva. The enemy's wounded are stated to have tilled 16 waggon,. The Piedmontese, desiring to pass the Adige at Rouen, are stated to have had an engagement, in which were killed 501 Austrians, with some officers, among whom was one colonel. The Piedmontese have fortified themselves at St. Lucia and at Pes confine. Neapolitan troops to the number of 12,000 have di-embarked at Venice. With them is a company of 200 volunteers, under General Pt pc. Letters Wm Rovigo of the 2nd announce that General Ferrari and his army had arrived amid the acclamations of the people. Letters from Brescia of the sth state that GOO Austrians who left Mactua on the 3rd, to escort cannon, were surprised and surrounded by a free corps from Mantua, organised in the name of Charles Albert. Only 40 men returned to Mantua. It is said that the family of the ex-Viceroy has been taken at Bolzsno by Gen. I leder and his body of Swiss. A letter from the camp of Gen. I)urando states that that general had passed the Piave at the head of 15,000 l'ontifical troops. no isehe List be wt beep his word. As the Prussian geamel has taken the poseantion to declare that each ma tease et a coma martial snug be confirmed by him, it is to be hoped that all nanmemor7 shedding of blood will be avoided. The Cologne Gazette of this evening fully confirms, in a correspondence from Posen, the intelligence of the general rising in that duchy. It states that all the men capable of bearing arm; have abandoned their homes, which are now all but exclusively occupied with old people, women, and children. It appears that the insurgents amemble wherever they have any chance of defeating the Prussian troop'. Further details are given respecting the fight at Wrenches, where the Poles defeated General Hirschfeld, altkoegh be had four cannons which unceasingly played upon the enemy, and committed the greatest havoc in their ranks. The Polish prisoners are detained in the fortress of Winiari. It is now admitted that some of the Prussian troops (probably those of Polish origin) have gone over to the insurgents or patriots. This happened, for example, at Buk, where the Poles totally destroyed a battalion of the 18th foot. Since the Prussian troops set fire to the town of Xions, they have lust ground, and have been overmastered by their antage- Diets. Mieroalawskes military tactics are of a peculiar nature, and greatly embarrass the Prosaism , g ls. The men are moreover greatly dispirited and stand in dread of the scythemen, wham onset is of the most furious and des perate kind. It is said that 36 more cannons will be sent to Posen. The Prussian State Journal admits that there are unexpected attacks and conflicts daily, and always with loss on both sides. Meanwhile, General Von l'fuel, who has succeeded General Von William, is busy with the re organisation scheme. He has declared that certain exclu sively Polish districts, such as those which have been the chief theatres of the war, shall have at once a Polish ge eclement. Things, however, have gone too far for such a concession to be of much avail. It is now officially stated that during the contest at Xions, on the 20th ult., the Poles had 835 killed and 600 made pri soners, of whom 185 died after their transfer to Schuman. 732 Poles also perished in the flames after the town of Xions had been tat on fire. The Prussians had 183 killed and 181. wounded. It remains to be seen whether the Polish accounts tally with those numbers. On the night of the 3rd inst. all the male population of Sopienno arose in insurrection in order to proceed to (Innen, the old capital of the province or duchy of Posen. The Fossische Zeitung is of opinion that that town could not hold out against such a force as the insurgents could muster; and expresses great apprehensien for the fate of the German and Jewish inhabitant.. The Frankfurt committee of fifty peeved, on the sth lost-, a resolution which will render the Polish question, so far at least as Posen is concerned, more difficult of solution than over. The committee have resolved to request the Germanic Diet to declare as soon as possible that it will never sanction the separation from the confederation of any territory belonging to Germany ; and to take all possi ble steps for preventing such separation. The committee have issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, calling upon them to unite more closely than ever with their old friend and ally, Germany, warning them against the reductive dis courses of the separatists, and promising them that the na tional parliament, which will be shortly convened in Frank fort, will give the utmost attention to their interests. The proclamation concludes by declaring that if in certain dis tricts only a portion of the inhabitants take part in the elec tions for the national parliament, whilst the remainder, through ill appreciation of their true interests, hold aloof , the candidates elected by that portion will be considered as duly returned, and will be considered as legitimate mem bers of the new Diet. The committee finally voted a reso lution to the effect that the various governments of Germany be urged to hasten as much as possible the general arming of the people. The military precautions on the Raman-Polish frontiers continue unabated. Ns one is allowed au entrance or an exit. At Knrwack a large forts of cossacks is stationed, and a further force of hussars at the extreme frontier town — the long name of which (compmed of a host of consonants) it is unnecessary to give. Between Kaliseh and Persern there are 18,000 men, with three batteries of artille7. It was reported amongst the Russian soldiers that the I. tench were approaching. A number of Russian spies have taken up their quarters at Kalisch. It is stated in the Elberfeld Gazette of this day that the Emperor of Russia arrived un expectedly at Tilsit, on the 26th, and proceeded thence to Poland. It appears by the Berlin Zeitungs-llntle that there are 180,000 Russian troops in the kingdom of Poland, and 40,000 in Samoglia. It is added, that within a month there will be assembled in l'oland, according to the orders given, five.and-a-half army carps (each corps 53,000 strong), exclu sive of the grenadier corps, the half of the guards, and 8,610 reserve cavalry. Should this statement be well founded, it is clear that Russia has something else in view besides the maintenance of tranquillity in its Polish possessions. The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung partly confirms the statements of the Berlin journal above quoted. The 21st article of the code of laws, published on the 9th, contains the royal remission of the 6tb, re specting the abolition of corporal punishment : In accordance with the equal political rights granted to all my subjects in the laws lately passed, I hereby resolve on the representation of my ministers, that henceforth no civil or military courts can pass sentence of corporal punish ment; and that it shall be superseded by imprisonment varying according to circumstances. In such cases, where the sentence of corporal punishment has already been passed, but not yet executed, comparative deprivation shall be substituted.—(Signed) FREDERIC WILLIAM —CAMP BATMEN Boanamaste.—Count Von CARD , TE.—Potsdam, May 6. The Stoats Anzeiyer makes the following announce ment with regard to the mail steam communication between Stettin and Kronstadt (St. Petersburg) : The public are hereby informed that the royal mail steamer Pruszischie Adler will not sail for the present, and that no steamer will leave Stettin for Fronstadt on Saturday, the 13th inst., as was announced on the lot of April. The Prussian correspondence for Sweden and Nor way must now be sent earl Stralsund and Ystadt. The announced communications between Stettin and Ystadt will, for the present, not take place. AUSTRIA.—The resignation of Count Fiquelmont was, it appears, caused by the spreading of the news that Count Dietrichetein had paid a visit to Prince Metternich in London. This had caused a great com motion in Vienna A letter from that capital of the sth, gives the fol lowing account of what took place previous to his resignation: Count de Fiquelmont, who is detested, will resign his portfolio within twenty-four hours. The people have done in an hour what the press could not do in a month, Thousands of individuals assembled before the count's house in the evening, resolved to compel him to resign. Having learned that he was at the offices of the State Chan cery, they went there, and sent him a deputation, calling on him to give up an office which they said he could not fulfil to the advantage of the country, seeing that he had lost Its confidence. Thecount replied, that the Emperor alone bad the right to dismiss him; but the people became menacing, and determined to insist on what they called their right. At length the minister gave his word of honour that he would resign in twenty-four hours and leave the city. He eubsequently went quietly to his own house, where ho was obliged to appear no the balcony, and to repeat his promise. tie one, not oven the Emperor, regrets the loss of this mi nister. The Count, in promising to resign, was haughty in his attitude, and said, in a threatening way, " I leave, but you shall soon have reason to repent." In the afternoon of the 3rd, the people arrested a police spy, and having obtained l i proof of his calling, a self-appointed jury of the people con demned him to be paraded through the city with a placard a ttached to his neck, bearing the word " Spy," and the sen tence was carried into execution. All the accounts from Hungary and Bohemia repre sent those kingdoms as complete victims of anarchy. In the former, particularly, the peasantry are in open revolt, and the nobles have ranged themselves on their - I side. demo- P°rt be Court. The Queen held a drawing-room, the first this season, yesterday afternoon, at St. James's Palace. The reception was very fully attended. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the royal suite, arrived from Bucking ham Palace at two o'clock, escorted by • party of the Life Guards.

The Queen condescended to inspect the charts and drawings of the boys, and to intimate her approbation of their per formances. Her Majesty was also pleased to express the lively interest she felt in the continued prosperity of Christ's Hospital, of which ancient institution her Majesty and Prince Albert, and also the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred are governors.

FOR CIRENCESTER. —This gentleman, whose recent conflict with Mr. Feargus O'Connor in the House of Commons is still fresh in the re collection of our readers, expired yesterday morning, shortly betore 10 o'clock, at his residence i n St . James's-place. His malady was an attack of brain fever. Nothing dangerous was apprehended until Saturday last, front which time the disease gradually approached a fatal termination, and carried him off as above stated. Mr. Cripps was son of Joseph Crippe, Esq., M.P., who represented the borough from 1807 to 1841, when the subject of this notice was returned in the interest of Earl Bathurst. The deceased gentleman was a politician of the Peel school, and was a 1...;r1 of the Treasury during the late administration. He voted for the repeal of the corn-laws. .Like his opponent, Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Mr. Crippe was a barrister. He was an M.A. of Trinity College, Oxford, and was a late Vinerian Fellow. The de ceased gentleman was married to the daughter of Benja,t.in .rrison, E.q , Chairman of the Exchequer Loan Com mission. • NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK OF F.NOLAND.—The annual =collate was held yesterday at the bank in Bishops gate-street. Mr. Fector Laurie presided. Among the propne tors and directors present were Sir J. N. R. Campbell, 1t..C.U.; Sir Alexander Crichton ; Q. Norman, Esq., of Bath ; Capt. Warren, R.N. • Robert Bell, Esq. ; C. A. Valpy, Esq. ; R. liichens, Es q. ;C. 11. Ellis, Esq. ; and W. Brown, Esq. —The chairman, in opening the proceedings, made some congratulatory remarks upon the prosperous state of the in stitution. When he reflected upon the recent commercial storm, he felt there was every reason to be grarful that they had not only escaped uninjured, but were prepared with re newed credit and larger prosperity to adva,.ce in that course which was destined to place this institution among the others of the country, second only to the Bane of England itself. He considered that the institution exercised great influence over the commercial affairs of the country ; and presented an example of prudent management that might be followed by other institutions with great advantage. Mr. Laue.e then • read the directors' report, of which the following are the main points: In order to be fully prepared to meet nay demand that might be made on the branches of the National Provincial Bonk of I.hvgi iii_xl, in consequence of the monetary derangements of bud year, the directors deemed it advisable to realise a portion of its reserve investmints in governrnent securities; a step which—though prudent at ea. time. and now producing the happiest inftuenoe upon the basking as prospects et the establishment, the natural efileet of the gnat resources which, in the emergency, it displayed—woe necessarily artanded with wine sacrifice. The stork saki. however, has been all regalaced, and the lam arising from its temporary conversion las been wholly met out of the pronto of the put year. In adverting to the commercial character of the year, the directors have to °teeny wuda respect to the extensive failures in the corn trade which oeei recd In hal com mencement, that, by timely precaution, the composer is likely to enjoy complete immunity from kes. With regard to the disasters which occurred in other brushes of trade, it was not to be ex. petted that the bank could altogether escaee; bit, o ft the other hand, the high rates of Interest which prevailed during the greater part of the year, have considerably augmented the company's revenue, and the directors are happy to sate that, after making ample provi. lion for all the contingencies of this estruordinry season, they are still enabled to maintain the usual dividend of 8 per cent., and at the same time to add to the rearm fund. The yearly summary is as follows; 1948. Jan. I. Amount of undivided Profits £79,073 19 10 Dec.3l. Net profits d o ub tful after making allowance for bad and debts, and for a propor tion of preliminary expenses 32,308 S 4 Making • Una' of £111,580 31 $ Deduct dividend on company's stock for 1611 21,619 16 0 ----- leaving undivided profits at 71st Dec., 1847 AIMA3O 7 2 And making an addition to the resene iund of £7,1136 7. 4d. The report was unanimously adopted, and Isaac Nicholson, Esq., Edward Stewart, Esq., and Sir D. Scott, Bert., the retiring direaton, wen to elected. lizaalu lanai; beta DENMARK AND THE DUCHI 1 S. According to a private letter from Gravenstein of the 6th inst., the Danes crossed the Straits of Abseil during the morning, under the protection of a heavy fire from their ships. They were then within a dis tance of two leagues of our troops, which occupy the heights of Dubbel, and amount to between 6,000 and 6,000 men, and those of the enemy to about 10,000. An engagement was expected. General Von Wranzel had withdrawn his head-quarters to Holding. An order of the day issued by the general declares that , after the taking possession of Fredericia there should be a cessation of hostilities. A private letter from Copenhagen intimates the expectation of a speedy settlement of affairs. It is inferred that the blockade of the Elbe will not be car ried into effect, and that although l'russian ships were condemned on the 6th at Copenhagen, both ships and cargoes will remain untouched till the re-establish ment of peace. A letter from Copenhagen of May 6, says :—The Minister Orlu Lehmonn has set out for Jutland as Government Commissary. He had dissuaded all re sistance at Veile and Hosens for the present. The blockade was begun at Bremen on the sth, by a Danish man.of-war, although reports up to the pre sent time du not announce that the frigate Geasionl has prevented any vessel from sailing out of the Weser. The Weser Zeitung says: According to reports just received from St. Petersburg, the Grand Duke Constantine will sail with a fleet to the Sound on May 5, for the protection of the Russian commerce. lhe commander of the Danish frigate which is sta tioned off Swinemunde, has issued a notification to the effect that all vessels must quit that port within twenty-four hours after the expiration, on the 11th inst., of the term allowed them. Danish ships of war are cruising in all directions off Stralsund. Thai T aon. J.Ward andfanaily,and Mrs. C.
