By an ordonnance of the 4th, Riffat Pasha, Minis ter of Finances, was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, in place of Ali Pasha, who had resigned. Natlz Pacha was appointed Minister of Finances. The cholera had re-appeared at Constantinople and the surrounding villages. The Journal of Constanti nople affirms that report had exaggerated its intensity. Letters from Galata had announced that 23 cases were declared in that place. GERMANY. MEETING OF THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT AT FRANKFORT.—RESIGNATION OF THE AUSTRIAN MINISTERS. FRANKFORT, MAY 20.—We subjoin, along with the p oceedings of the second sitting of the German parliament, a snore detailed account of the procvedings the first day than it was possible for our reporter (in the communication we published yester day) to give amid the hurry and confusion of so nova and exciting a scene. To aid our readers in appreciating the actual position of this constituent assembly, however, it will be advisable in the first place to revert brit fly to a circumstance illustrative of its position relatively to the Diet of the German Confederation, still sitting and protocolling in Frankfort. It will be in the recollection of our readers that since the irresistible force of the Germanic movement became apparent, 17 delegates enjoying the confidence a the people have been added to the constitutional members of the Diet. The object of this new element added to that body was undet stood to be the taking of preparatory steps to assist the elective national sesembly in the performance of the task delegated to it by Gi.rrnany. To this end a " Committee of Re vision" was nominated by the augmented Diet, to pre pare the draft of a " fundamental law for the empire." It was understood, however, that it would remain open to the parliament to accept or reject this draft, as it deemed most cap , client. On the 27th of April a• ,e J r .......eted to the Diet a draft, embo dying their ideas of what this fundamental law ought to be. On the tth of May, the Committee of Revision reported the draft which to them appeared most ad visable. It was presented simply as a report which could have no validity unless approved of by their respective governments. The near approach of the day on which the parliament was to meet left no time to deliberate on the comparative merits of these pei:ojete de 14, or to seek the advice and sanction of the diffi rent governments represented in the Diet. The committee's report was embodied in a protocol, and published along with the other proceedings of the Diet, now daily reported in the Frankfort papers. This protocol was understood by the public and the members of the parliament who had arrived at Frankfurt as meant to be imperative for the acceptation of that body. So great was the irritation hereby excited, that on the 18th inst. the collective Diet published a declaration that they never contem plated requiring the parliament to adopt the sub stance of their protocol as a constitutional law. Publicity was given to it merely as an expression of what they thought would be advisable. " The Diet publicly and solemnly disclaims every suspicion of a wish to check the free development of a united and powerful German nation." "Ile Diet, in this:* in all things else, calmly submits its conduct to the un biassed judgment of the German people and their re presentatives." On the 19th Dr. Harmer, in the name of the representatives of the four Hanseatic Towns in the I)ict, published an explana tion of h's share in the protocol. Three facts, by no means re-assuring with respet to the prospects of Germany, are forced upon our attention by this mal-eneendu :— The position of the 17 popular delegates added to the Diet is not clearly ascertained, or the validity of their co-operation ; i• is uncertain whether the parliament will take any cognisance of the existence of, or acknowledge any power as existing in, the Diet; the parliament itself (several places, great part of Bohemia, for example, not having elected representatives) may not be recognised by the German people as its legislature, and thus there is really no generally acknowledged authority through out the German confederation at present. Bearing these things in mind, we return to the proceedings of the parliament itself. May 18.—The members of the Constituent Assem bly who have arrived met at 3 p.m. in the Imperial Hall, in the Romer. Ail the eldest members present they chose Dr. Lange of Hanau president for the day, and Von Lindenau of Saxony vice-president. They then walked in procession to the church of St. Paul. The following is the message from the Diet that was read to the wesembly The Diet to the German National Assembly.—The might lextraerdinary events, the yearning which bays spoken so wily throughout our native country, the summons of the )ermanic gosimmeau, !noticed by these tws causes, have a Ma; eventful hour conducted hither an assembly unprece bated in our history.

Jane (Darmstadt) moved that an interim president be chosen for four weeks. A division took place, and after considerable diffi culty it was declared that the election of president should be proceeded with next day. STEDMAN?, moved that a committee be appointed to examine the arrangements made by the prepara tory committee; and that the committee on standing orders should be appointed next day at the forenoon meeting. RIEDERMANN (Saxony), u reporter from the pre paratory committee, moved that their report be printed, and a committee appointed to carry its regu lations into effect. The assembly grew clamorous for an adjournment, and at 7 p.m. the sitting was closed, after it had been resolved to nominate a committee of 13 to report on I ' the standing orders. MAT 19.—1 n this day's sitting, M. Heinrich von Gagern was elected interim president, and M. von Soiron interim vice-president. The assembly then proceeded to organise the bureau for verifying the full powers of the members. AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, May 17.—RESIONATION OF MINISTERS: The Witmer Zeitung of this date con tains an authorised statement on the part of the ministry to the effect that : The gates of the city are to be kept by national guard, and the troops of the , line are only to be called in, as a last resource, in emergencies. The Diet about to assemble is to be declared a constituent assembly, and the elections to it are to be for one chamber only. The provisional law of election is to be submitted to the revision of i this assembly. The ministers add : W vile we accept the full responsibility of these measure*, we cannot but feel that they, and the events which have led to them, paralyse our ability to serve and uphold the throne. Our sense of duty, therefore, compels us to reign our ap pointment. into his htsjesty's hand*, in order that he may surround his throne with councillors who can command general and efficient support. In the same number of the same journal is an official exhortation to the national guard to assist in preserving order. The reasons assigned for making this appeal are: the change in the constitution of the Austrian government has rendered a change in the police organisation unavoidable. The old police arrangementa are incompatible with the liberty of the press and of association for political purposes now enjoyed. It has been also found necessary to remove from the police "every individual who could no longer be employed because he did not enjoy the confidence of the public." Every effort is making to supply necessaries and to reorganise the police on a constitutional footing ; but as this cannot be imme diately accomplished, the public in general and the national guard in particslar are requested to co-ope rate in supplying deficiencies. The students and the national guard have issued a i joint address to the peasantry of the districts around the Manhart's-berg, exhorting them to abstain from insurrectionary violence, and patiently await the oomplction of the constitution. DENMARK AND THE I)UCHIES. Our Ilamburg dates are to the 20th inst. On the I4th the Holstein contingent were stationed at and around Veile. The greater part of the Prussian troops were concentrated in and around Fridericia. The head-quarters of the German army were at Kolding. About eight a.m. a Danish frigate ap proached the harbour of Fridericia, and two gun-boats ran close up to it. Firing began immediately on both sides. The heavy artillery and bombe of the Danes shattered the bastions, set the arsenal on fire, and destroyed many private buildings. The Prussian troops were thus exposed without shelter to the fire, yet they kept their ground though they had only six pounders wherewith to return the fire. The Prussian fire destroyed several houses in Fuhnen. Towards the evening the German field artillery from Heyo and Veile was moved up to Fridericia, and the Danes de sisted from the attack. The German forces have fallen back upon Heyn. A " marine congress" is to meet in Hamburg, on the 31st inst., by order of the committee of fifty at Frankfort, to arrange measures for the formation of a German navy. UNITED STATES - MEXICO. Two steamers arrived yesterday at Liverpool from the United States—the Sarah Sands, Capt. Thompson, and the America. The former brings 60,0001. in specie, and puts us in possession of dates from New York to May d. The latter has on freight 100,0004 in specie, and brings five days later news. By the Sarah Sands we Lam that the conventions to be held by the great parties, preliminary to the election of a president, were the principal topics before the American public. The democratic convention was to be held at Baltimore, the whig at Philadelphia. Mr. l'olk had proposed to occupy Yucatan, to pre vent England or any European power taking it. Mr. Calhoun mocked his precaution and susceptibility, and asked had the president already discovered another Mexico to conquer ? Among the many important matters for the action of the present congress will be the organisation of the three proposed new territories of Minieota, Nebraska, and Oregon, as reported by the chairman of the com mittee on territories of the senate. A fire had broken out in Troy, near Albany, which had destroyed 30 houses and about 20,0001. worth of property. The accounts from Mexico represent the Mexican congress of Queretaro, as seeking to gain time, and to delay the ratification of the treaty. One paper says, that Penay Pesa had asked four months' delay. The intelligence from Cuba is alarming. The white population of the island, expecting a rising of the blacks, had stationed troops in the most disturbed districts, and had arrested some of the ring leaders. The crops were suffering from a lengthened drought, and several cattle had died in consequence. The following is a summary of the news by the America. The Courier and Enquirer states that the intel ligence to the 22nd ult., received by the Britannia, which reached Boston on Sunday, had caused little or no alteration in prices or business here. Business was paralysed, the trade with France almost entirely suspended, freights of all descriptions were very low, and unemployed shipping accumulated. Flour had for some days past been on the advance, owing to a reduced stock and the absence of supplies by canal. The following was received by telegraph just as the America was leaving : " Detroit, Michigan, May 9, 2 p.m.—A terrible fire is now raging in this city, the population of which is 20,000. " Since the above was in type we have received our despatches and files of papers, from which we ex tract the following. The fire at Detroit, referred to above, is stated to be most serious. Forty buildings had been consumed when the accounts left. The Steamboat and American Hotels were both in flames, and the Arfrertisvi. news paper office was entirely consumed. It is stated that one-third of the city seemed threatened with destnue tion. From Washington, under date May 9, we learn that on May 4 a bill was introduced in the senate, from the committee on foreign relations, authorising the President to dispatch a military and naval force, with arms and ammunition, to Yucatan, to assist the white race in defending themselves against the Indians, who are sweeping the country before them by fire and sword. On the 9th Mr. C. B. Smith of Indiana, moved that the house resolve itself into a committee on the state of the Union, which was agreed to, when the house took up the bill for admitting Wisconsin as a state in the Federal Union.—Mr. Bowlin moved the reference of the bill to the appropriate committee. Lost —The debate upon the merits of the bill was continued till the committee rose, reported progress, and, on motion, adjourned over till the following day. We learn from Yucatan that Governor Mend, z has resigned in favour of his political rival, Senor Barbechano, which measure has, it seems, produced increased dissensions among the troops. The President has received advices from Mexico which have not been made public, but which are understood to represent the ratification of the treaty as highly improbable. The Hudson Bay Company have encroached on the United States territory by erecting posts thirty miles within the borders of lowa, the i,,hahitants of which are demanding the dispossession of the intruders. The ex, cutive of Virginia has demanded the per sons charged with the abduction of the 77 slaves from Washington city, on the ground that a number of ti e negroee stolen belonged to persons in Vir ginia' THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1848. The German citizens of New York got up on .the Bth lint. a magnificent funeral pageant, in honour of the patriots killed during the recent revolutions In Germany. The Weekly Herald sap, we understand that Mr. Nugent, the correspondent of the New Fork Herald, has been advised to bring a suit against the United States Senate, for damages, in consequence of the illegal incarceration which he has suffered at their hands. Cbt Court. The Queen and prince Albert left town yesterday morning ler her Majesty's marine residence, Osborne, Isla ef Wight.

The Usual annual meeting to elect officers and re ceive the report of the committee, was held y,eterday at the house of the eviety, in Hanoweraquare. The Earl of Yarborough, the president, occupied the chair. Hr. Hudson reau the report, which was to the following effect : The council report that the eociety new consists of 6,335 members.

Also, net the other Judges shell Judge the work done by any agricultural machine to which steam or other power Is applied. Tne number of agricultural implements entered 6ir **York meeting far excee4 that of any former year ; and, from the eumerowt entree of live stock already sent in for that exhibition, as well as from other favourable CAMlDlttilllte• the council have the fullest easurenee that the enuring country mee tingt In that'clty will fully realise their most sanguine anticipations. They have accepted the invitation et the authorities of Norwich to bold the country meeting for the eastern district of England, In 1649, in that city; and, in conformity with the practice of the council, they have decided that the detnet for the country miming In 1652, Mall be comprised of the whole 01 donth Wales, with the addition of the counties of Monmeeth, Gloucester, Hereford, sad Worceater ; the district. for the meetings to be held in the intermediate years having been already determined, namely, the moth-western dietrict foe 1650, and the south -eastern for 1851. Sir J. P. Jodrell moved, and Mr. J. Hudson seconded, the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. The scrutineers then reported the re election of the coun cil as follows; - - - - - Mr. T. It. Barker, Mr. J. F. Burke, Mr. S. Drive, Mr R. Girrett, Mr. B. T. Gibbs, Mr. S.

Barker then read the report of the finance coin matte, which showed that the receipts during the half-year from July 1 to December 31, 1847, includi/ g a previous balance, and the dividends on stock, amounted to 5,0721. 18s., out of which a balance remained on December 31, of 1,1001. 3+. in the hands of the bankers, and 351. Ils. in the hands of the secretary. After a few observations from Mr. Barker in reference to the arrears of subscriptions, to which Colonel Chaloncr re plied that there arrears had been considerably diminished in amount, The Earl of Egmont moved, and the Duke of Rich mond seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, who in acknowledging the compliment congratulated the society on the improved state of its funds, which showed that though the novelty of the society hod passed away, the iatereat in which it was held had by no means diminished. The proceedings then terminated. THE MUKI)ER IN SPITALFIELDS. ADJOURNED INQUEST. _ _ Yesterday forenoon Mr. W. Baker resumed the in quiry at the Duke of Wellington, Spitalfielda, respecting the death of Henry Lazarus, who was found murdered under circumstances previously detailed in this journal.—lnspector Scott of the H division iulormed the coroner that a lad named Charles Savage had mule a statement respecting the murder. It had been reduced to writing. The Coroner was handod the document, In it he declares that on Monday night two men met Savage •t the corner of the Tenter-ground, and said to him, " Charley, go and catch hold of that biy " (deceased). lie did so, and told him to go home. Tray then said, "Charley, will you come and help us ?" He said he would not help them to murder the child. They had before asked him to help them to murder it.. He then told them he would not do so ; and if they wasted to do it, they must do it themselves. They took hold of the child by the throat, and it began to cry out "Murder." Ho then cried out "Murder." This was on the ruins near the chorale. The men then put the boy under one of the arches, and went away. He stopped to mind the body about half an hour, and at 11 o'clock they came hack to see if the b sly was there. Ile said that he saw it with them under the arch. It was naked, with the exception of • shirt, and had the tenth commandment aid • handkerchief ti'd round the throat. lie added that the murder was committed by the oldest man, and the clothes were taken away by the other party. In answer to ques tions he remarked that he remained by the body in order to speak to a policeman, but none came. When the men came back they told hitu he was a good boo, and desired him to take the body and throw it over London.bridge, which be declined. They then carried the body to • coal-shed in Tilley -street. They took their shoes off ►nd went in. They came out without the body. He knew the two men ; one was Jem Paxton, who went ►bout the streets conjuring with bottles, and the other was Thomas Austin, a porter at Billingsgate and Spitalfields market. Paxton told him if he said anything about the matter be (Paxton) would murder him. The lad Savage was here brought before the coroner, and from his general demeanour it certainly did appear that his mind was impaired. Ile subsisted on the trifling aid he collected in the street•. He adhered in almost every par ' Centro to his former tale, after being duly cautioned by the coroner, but could not explain why he did not nose an alarm at the time, or mention what he had seen until several doys had passed by. Serjeant Teskle, of the H division, said on the day the murder was discovered he was induced to ask the lad several questions relative to tee murder, and he then denied all knowledge of it.—Mr. Inspector Scott observed that since the lad had made this statement he had not varied it. He spoke to the same circumstances. The Coroner remarked that enough had been stated to warrant the police keeping the lad in custody. Mrs. Ellen Jonas, of 2, Palmer-street, Tenter.street, de posed, that she was aunt to the deceased. On Monday night, about half-past 9 o'claa k, she saw the child in company with the lad Charles Savage, at the door of the parents' house. In the course of ten minuses, the deceased was missed, and she went to look for him. She met Savage walking by some railings at the corner of Wentworth-street, and she said to him, " Charley, what have you done with Henry ?" He said, " I sent him home about ten minutes ago." Ile was then walking up and down with another lad ;it was not Paxton, the bottle conjuror. At 10 o'clock she again saw Savage in the same place. She said, " Charley, I have not seen Henry yet." 113 replied, " I sent him home." No one was walking with him then. She knew it was 10 o'clock, as Spitalfields church clock then struck. Mrs. Pletebe &ethane of 126, Went worth. street, a lodging house keeper, stated that the lad Savage lodged with her, and paid 3d. a night. On Monday night he came home at half-past 9 o'clock, and did not go out again.. She was sure of that fact. She did not consider him to be in quite a sound state of mind ; he was foolish in his ways, and play ful with children, but quit, harmless. The Coroner commented on the conflicting testimony of these two witascsers as to the time the boy was out on Mon day, sod suggested to the police to pursue the strictest inquiry into this part of the case. Mr. C. H. Gilbert, surgeon, of Raven•row, Spitalfields, who was called to the deceased, deposed to making a post morlern examination. Strangulation was the cause of &ath, caused by a handkerchief being secured tightly round the neck, - . - . Mr. Chamber., surgeon, at the desire of the coroner, said he arrilysed the contents of the stomach, and could not detect the presence of any deleterious drug. lospvctor Scott, in answer to the coroner, remarked that he had been unable to effect the slightest trace of the miwing clothes of the deceased child. lie knew the parries spoken of by Savage in his statement. After considtrible discussion the inquiry WWI adjourned till Thursday, so as to allow the poles every facility to trace out partite against whom much suspicion exists. ROBBERY AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—Yesterday information was received by the police, that several valuable works of art had been stolen from the Royal Academy, pen cipally statuettes of small comp iss. Amonfst the missing artitit a is a round marble medallion of a female's bead, and the bust of a man, abont 9 inches high. FIRE AT THE GENERAL POET-OFFlCE.—Yesterday a fternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock, a fire broke out at the General Post office, St. Martin'a-le-Grand. When first discovered, the Rimes were issuing from the upper windows of the Loudon district side of the balling, ft... Ming Fost.r lane. Expresses were instantly despatched to the fire bri gade station in Watling-street. and several enzines were in stantly in attendance, and they fortunately succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the building where the fire broke out, n hid, was, together with its contents, coot pleb ly bum d out. The portion of the building destroyed woo used as a bookbinder's workshop, and it is conjectured that the fire was oc ea sione,i. by a sudden gust of wind (the windows being open) waling some of the plper shavings t o waris the tire, and thus set the room in a hl se.

Yesterday, a meeting of the Inhabitants of St. Pancras was held in the year; -rooms, for the purpose of aiding the ovement now in progress for effectuating the following political reforms via , shortening the duration of parliaments, extending the franchise, voting by ballot, and the establishment 01 electoral dia'ricts. C. E. Wagstaff, Es 9 , the senior churchwarden, presided, and the room, ' which is calculated to hold 2,000 persons, was densely crowded, as wu also the gallery. On the plat'orm, in addl- tioa to the borough members, Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir ' B. Hall, was a large cumber of vestrymen. ' The CtlAtitllAN having bristly explained the objects of the meeting, and demanded a lair hearing for the various speakers, Mr. Mairrrirrouraa came forward to propose the first re ' solution. He observed that he waa a radical of the Cart wright and Cobbett school, and they would therefore believe • that he was actuated by no other desire; than to support such measures as were for the benefit of the people at large. It wu now sixteen yeansinee the so-called Reform Bill was passed, and it was quite clear that it was wholly inadequate to the present times. (Hear) It was not a monarchy, but en oligarchy, that the people of this country had to complain cf. (Hear.) It was the oligachy Rich had toddler' the country with 800 millions of notional debt, which had voted 70,0001. for building such follies as royal stables, and which had increased the taxation of this country to the frightful amount of sixty millions. (Hier, hear.) After denouncing the injustice end unequal system of taxation, together with the lavish expenditure of govern. ment, Mr. Brettinghem moved— That in the opinion of this meeting the Commons Mouse of Parlia ment does Dot represent either the opinions, the feelings, or the in terns of a large majority of the British nation, and that this majority, on whom falls with meet disproportionate and Increseine Pressure us CIWBOWUP burden of taxation, has no voice whatever either in the control of that burden, or any other legLelative enactment. Mr. BAUNIZI4, snotty, vestryman, seconded the resolution, and in doing so advised those who were clamouring for the charter to adopt the wise advice of the late Daniel O'Connell, it they could not get all they wetted to get all they could as an instalment. Mr. Burnt, who declared himself a chartist, made a vio lent attack on the borough members, both of whom he charged with being strong supporters of the gagging bill—a charge which elicited from the chartists present loud groans against the hon. men bore Lord D. STUART said he attended that meeting at the wish of his constituents, and he begged to tell them that he agreed in the necessity of great and sweeping reforms. (Cheer*, and cries of " Universal suffrage.") He came there to speak out in defiance of any hill in reference to " open and advised speaking." (Laughter.) He meant to blink no question. Be begged to tell them, in the first place, that he and his boa. colleague had been most disgracefully misrepresented by the gentleman who had lan spoken, and he thought, when the chartists themselves knew the facts, they would not con sider him (Lord D. Stuart) • very great enemy of Units. He told them fairly, that if Mr. O'Connor had brought on his motion of the 10th of April for the charter he would not have supported it. (Cheers and groans.) But he would tell them what he would do, and what he was prepared to have done, and that was to have moved so an amendment, that which the prayer of the ea- Lionel petition demanded—namely, to be heard by counsel at the bar of the house should he granted. (Cheers.) Many members of parliament were aware that such was his (Lord D. Stuart's) intention bad Mr. O'Connor brought on his motion ; and that being the case he would not stand there to allow himself to be misrepresented by any man, whether chartist or anything else. (L'Aid cheers.) Wtth regard to the conduct of his bon colleague and himself concerning the odious " gagging bill," when that bill was first brought in he (Lord D. Stuart) told the government th‘t the surest way to secure protection to the crowr, was to win the affec tions of the people. (Cheers.) He and his colleague had voted against the bill instead of in its favour. To name now M the business for which they had as embled. It was quite clear that the Reform Bill had not answered its purpose. In the that place, he was for an extension of the suffrage to that which he believed to be a full, fair, and tree representa tion of the people. lie viewed it as monstrous that small boroughs, like Harwich, Lyme, and other places, should send as many representatives to parliament as the great borough of Marylibone, with a populati: n of 350,000, and as large as many of the great capitals of E.srope. The abolition of such a system, and the fair division of the country into electoral districts would be • sure way of abolishing corruption. He confessed that he preferred triennial to annual parlament*. With regard to vote by ballot, his (the noble lord's) opinions were in favour of open voting, but when no found that a man could not fairly exercise his opinions without protec tion, then he said he was for the ballot. If household suf frage was proposed he would vote for it, but be it under stood, in all the questions of reform to which he had alluded, he did not mean to say that he accepted thew as final mea sures. lie was opposed to finality, and was an advocate for progressive raw= The fact was that the people of thi country were overburthened with taxation, and what was worse it was an unjust and unequal taxation. His hon. colleague and himself had ever been the opponents of the present system, and he believed that nothing short of the reforms now contemplated would get rid of that master grievance, which compelled the poor man to pay more upon property than the rich man. Ihe noble lord resumed his seat amidst considerable applause. Sir 13. HALL said he had been invited by the vestry of that great parish to attend that meeting of bis constituents, to consider the questions of a reduction of the national ex penditure, the extension of the suffrage, and other measures of reform. tie believed those who knew him as a member of the House of Commons bad never found him give a vote which was not in favour of the liberties of the people. They had before them four distinct propositions, namely, that there should be an extension of the suffrage; that the suffrage should be shielded by the ballot ; a shortening of I the duration of parliaments; and the establishment of electoral districts. Nuw, although he (Sir B. Hall) had not enlisted under the banner of any member of the House of Commons, in every one of these propositions he most cor dially concurred. (Cheers.) He, like Lis noble colleague, did not mean to say that these measures should be final, but he supported them as he had frequently done other measures when he considered it was a step in the right direc tion. Although he had not attended the meeting the other day at Hall's Riding School, it was not that he was in attentive to the interests of the people. He was cnga,ied in passing what might be termed a trivial measure of reform, namely, the abolition of the Rate-paying C:auses Bill, which by perseverance they succeeded in carrying. He (Sir R. Hall) originally brought in that bill with Mr. Duucombe, said after being defeated several times they had at but carried it. This showed that he was no enemy to progres ice reform, and therefore he considered that he was not to be tied down to the proposals of this new reform movement, or to any other. He would take that as an instalment, but if he was told that there reform was to end, he would be no party to it. With r gard to the shield of the ballot, after reading the debates in the house of the last few days, and finding the sitting members for Stamford themstlves admitting that Lord E xeter had turned ten or twelve of his tenants out because they voted against his wishes.—(shame)—no one could doubt the necessity for the ballot. (Cheers.) After referring to the undue pressure of taxation upon the people, the hoe. baronet stated that' about thirty-six divisions had taken place this session on the subject of expenditure, and on every occasion his noble col league end himself had voted against the government. (Cheers.) He (Sir B. Hall) had always given Ids vote tore re duction of expenditure ; and, as a proof that he was not un mindful of the interests of the people, he had moved for a return which would materially aid the present movement,: showing at once the representation of the people as it at pre sent existed. He had directed such returns to be given in groups, alphabetically, of all such cities and boroughs as con tain 200, and not exceeding 250 electors, and so on in groups increasing 50 electors in each group. As a specimen, he begged to inform them that 17 boroughs, with only 4,138 electors, returned no less than 28 members which only gave 145 voters for each member. (Shisne) He did not wish to make invidious selections', but there was Arundel returning one member, with but 107 voters—Caine with 145 voter, ; and then there was Tamworth, 283 voters, re turning two members, as many as that immense borough. (Shame.) With regard to the franchise, the n amity of its extension was obvious. The borough of Marylebone contained 34,566 houses above the value of 101 per year, and yet there were but 15,66'3 voters. That meet. Log had been held roost opportunely, for Mr. Hume's motion came on to-morrow evening ; and however small th mi nority, his (Sir B. Hall's) name would be found recorded in its favour. He had not the honour of being in the secrets 'of the ministry, but he had understand that the govensm did not intend meeting Mr. Hume 's motion with a direct negative. He did not see how they could well do so, when they had themsel, es brought in a bill granting a much more extended franchise for Ireland. It consisted of an SI. quail Bastion, the payment of the poor's rate, and a residence of six months eutitliug to the franchise. The hon. barruset at some further length expressed his concurrence in toe object' of the meeting, and wasluudly eheeral.—The rewalutiou was carried unanimously. Mr. B. DELL, a member of the Society of Friends, pro posed the next resolution, and said, whilst he admitted the I principles of the chartists to be just, he called upon that por tion of the meeting to aid the attainment of tree present pro posed instalment.

The general feeling in the clubs last night was to obey the order for di-persioa, bat to go back and arm. This hot headedness evaporated under the suggestions of prudence. The resistance to authority would be just as futile as the appeal to arms would be destructive. The repealers of Limerick will assemble, on the call of the mayor, on Wednesday next, " to congratu late the country on the issue of the state prosecu tions," and " to address Messrs. O'Brien and Meagher" on the triumph they have achieved. The first name to the requisition is the Rev. Dr. O'Brien, who has lately been drilling holes in the " Sarsfield" coat of mail. . . The most ardent of the provincial press are in a state of delightful bewilderment at the result of the trials. Words wholly fail to express their glowing sentiments. One of the most furious Old Irelandera has completely lost his senses, and taken to mad iambics in celebrating the glorious victory. The Attorney-General will not feel complimented on the comparison with the " knot of vultures." The At torney-General, as if stung by a knot of vultures, whose venomous sting had done wick, d execat ion on his bailing brains, has seized on all the obsolete appliances of tyranny to stifle the expression of free opinion in this country. Reverting to the past history of agita tion, and the peaceful lessons it inspires, the writer gives a most admirable character of O'Connell, and then moralises. Sad day for our country if bellicose passions display their angry flash, and the acervated wrongs of a nation Bend their maddening thrill through the hearts of the people. God avert the day! Heaves forefend the disaster ! But the description of popular effervescence in the east catches a grace beyond the reach of art. It is sublime. The people are in ecstacies, fires are blazing, the hill-tops are shrouded in flames, and climbing the skies are the meteoraticparticlesof ten thousand pyres, lighting not to consume the soul of freedom, which is immortal, but burning in an ardent glow to celebrate the people's triumph over their viralent oppressors. ' The Limerick stipendiaries have been busy in in vestigating the claims of parties to carry arms. Gun smiths and venders of fire-arms were suffered to re tain the usual quantities. Out of 127 applicants B,i obtained permission to keep arms within their dwellings. Shortly atter two o'clock the clubs left their rooms en route to the place of meeting. The fir 4, headed by Mr. T. F. Meagher, marched in the usual fashion, three deep, up I)ame-street and Cork-hill, passing close to the Castle-gates. The utmost order and precision were preserved along the line of march. There was not a single shout or a. voice raised— ail was si'ent and steady, the very mob which followed in the wake restraining their enthusiasm. The police were drawn up at Palace-street, Lower Castle-yard. As the Dr. Doyle Club was marching past this point, a carpenter named Sheahan, one of the subalterns in command, gave the word " halt." Scarcely had he uttered the order when he was ar rested by Inspector Campbell, and carried a prisoner to the Chancery-lane station, where he remains a close prisoner. Even this event created no disturb ance. The clubs marched through most public parts of the city—but it was the middle of the streets that was selected, and not the "flag-way"—which, according to the late police notice, is forbidden ground. THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE CLUBS. HALF , PAST 4 o'Ctocx.--I drove to the place of meeting in the Liberties. It was an ancient distillery, belonging to Mr. Nicholar Rowe, and now the property of a brewer named Ellis. The space was very small for anything like au Irish popular meeting. The tribune wan a small platform, leading into a malt loft, and the area of the yard could not accom modate five thousand persona. At 2 o'clock the clubs began to assemble. I counted them as they entered the gateway. They numbered altogether about 1,500 men. Meters. Meagher, Duffy, O'Gorman, Dillon, and tinily, headed tn tie respective societies. The fleet and last looked portentously big. The most reopeetable of the club' were the ()rattans and the mercantile assistants. 'the ponce did nut apprusch the place of meeting in large numbers. They were drawn up in divisions, together with squadrons of cavalry in the region of the Castle, but there was not the least necepity for their presence. A few stray police mingled with the meeting and excited no displeasure. I saw Prince George of Cambridge and Town Major White in front of the gateway. They were recognised end treated with respect. After delaying a Sew minutes they rode off towards the park. There was a large fl sting mac of the idle and curious crowding the area and the avenues, but taken altogether the aggregate did not amount at any time to five thousand. Smith O'Brien was not present. His absence excited some comment and nut • little displeasure among the " fast min" of the con ederation. The fact is, Smith O'Brien will not identify himself with the probable violence to which the pre sent course of things inevitably tends. He is falling fast into the moral force principle. Mr. Dillon filled the chair. The meeting did not occupy more than an hour and a half. Business commenced with a speech from the chairman, who said they were assembled to protest against packing juries in Ireland. They were the enemies of British power in Ireland. (Great cheering.) They did not expt ct favour, but they expected not to be stabbed in the dark. They were ',repared for the flash of the sabre, but they did not expect to meet the muffled dagger of the assassin. (Cheers.) •I'litire was • trial to be heard next week. (A cheer for Mr. Mitchel.) He (Mr. Dillon) did not agree with every sentiment and opinion of Mr. Mitchel. But he was not prepared to hear a wrong done to one who was a prisoner ler Ireland. (Cheers.) He warned the authorities against any wrong to Mr. Mitchel. He did not wish that anything should remain to embitter "he remembrance of the present struggle. He therefore warned them against doing that which could never be for given. (Cheers.) Mr. O'GortmaN came forward to propose the first resolu tion ; and, after complimenting the meeting, he expressed his dissent from many of Mr. Mitchel'a opinions, but, opposed as hews., front to front with the enemy they hated, they would not desert him. (Cheer.) That meeting showed they would not. Mr. O'Gorman yroceeded to say that as long as English power continued to govern them in this ceuntry they had a right to the benefit of English law. But if the jury were, in a cue where liberty was at stake., uutairly se'ected, then the jury, the judge, and the counsel who pro meted it, were guilty of smassination in the sight of God. I (Loud cheers.) And he called on them to let the remem brance burn into their hearts until they had the power of punishment. (Great cheering.) Mr. O'Gorman concluded by reminding the meeting that they had '• sterner duties" before them, and warning them to be prep.red. H., pro. posed the first resolution, which wax in accordance with the sentiments he had expressed. Mr. CHIAN, an operative, seconded the resolution. llts contended that if the Saws did not protect the pi ogle no man had a right to obey the laws. England did not perform her part of the social compact; and if he had power hi would scatter her laws to the winds of heaven. He warned the men who snould find guilty that creat patriot now in the breach, that the time might come when men's pdwiens would be loosed. He would bo satisfied if the jury were fairly selected, if Mr. Mitchel should be found guilty; but if the jury should be packed he would never forgive them. The resolution tuned with acclamation. Mr. MEAGHER, in addressing the VII eting, hr ped that no man had come there to hear him, bat to mauffe s sympathy with John Mitchel, and their coutempt of the recent police proclamation. He saw the e thusisco around him -he would wish that every throbbing passionate he at ecu d spring into a glittering weapon, and every tongue mold call aloud for the destruction of the English power in Ireland — that power which, with armed force, invaded the s inctuary of the constitution. (Cheers.) He accorded to Juhn Mitchel ' the honour of the present position of Inland; he had I reed the soul of this nation from the min's, ideas, and prejudices which surrounded them, and taught them to be bright and I glorious. He proclaimed him the apostle of the new duo trine. He believed, like Mr. O'Gorman, that his enthissi-ton was from heaven ; and if there we.e jurtiee in heaven he felt he must have justice. Mr. Meagher concluded by the quotation from " Mammal :" For time at length miike4 all things even. And never yet wss human power Which could evade, if unforgivoi, The pstietit teareh and vigil long Of those who treaiure tr., a wrong. Mr. Mauritian again rose for the purpose of pro posing the second resolution, and said he leliesert it was the object of the government to pack a jury to obtain a conviction For bus pout, he rejiaced at I,L own liberation only bccatrie he could parsue, and enjoin others to panne, precisely the tam- course as liith , rto.

A summary of the following intelligence appeared in part of our last evening's impression. By the arrival of the steamer Avon, Capt. (last, Lieut. J. Ray, R.N., Admiralty Agent, at South ampton, yesterday morning, we have accounts from Mexico and the West Indies to the folbwing dates: Ilonduras, 10th; Tampico, 13th; Vera Cruz and St. Jago de Cuba, 16th; Demerara, 19th; Trinidad and Jamaica, 21st ; Grenada, 23rd ; Havana, 27th ; Barbadoes, 29th; and Martinique, 30th of April; St. Thomas, 2nd, and Bermuda, 7th May. The Avon brings on freight 312,272 dollars from Mexico on merchants' account, 209 'oz. gold dust, 21,511 oz. silver, 7,7671. British coin, and 427 serous of cochineal. The intelligence from Mexico is not of a deci sive character. Mr. Clifford, the American commis sioner, had reached the capital ; and Mr. Servicr, the I prospictive Minister Plenipotentiary, was on the road from Vera Cruz, and hourly expected to join Mr. Clifford, and ez.:hange the ratification of the treaty. By the last accounts received by the courier of the British legation at Vera Cruz, they had not yet been able to complete a quorum at Queretaro, but it was believed that this would be effected by the 25th of April, and that notwithstanding the dissatis- faction felt by the Mexican government at the modifications made by the American senate to the treaty its ratification will be authorised by the Mexican Congress. In the mean time vast importations of European and American merchandise were taking place at Vera Cruz, in anti cipation of the peace, and with the ohject of taking advantage of the American, over the very probable reestablishment of the Mexican tariff. There is evidently, on the part of the American army and residents, a etiong disinclination to ri lin quiah the grasp they have on the country, and it will require no little effort on the part of the American Government to reconcile them to it. There is most disastrous intelligence from the peninsula of Yucatan. The native Indians of that province, by the last accounts, were still destroying, with unrelenting ferocity, thc whole white population, man, woman, and child. The authorities had applied to the British, American, and Spanish authorities ati Cuba ; but cs what they chiefly wanted was a military force, and that force could not be promptly given, it is much to be feared that by this time the Indian population will have regained all that the Spaniards had taken from them three centuries ago. JAMAICA.—The inhabitants continue to enter tain the most depressing apprehensions. be Cordon's mercantile circular of the 21st of Aprii remarks We have nothing new to report of the condition of our market since the date of our text issue. The same inactivny and caution, the vame want of confidence and tightnra in m. metary affairs which then characterised the business of the community, continue now to operate against it, to all appearances to a more alarming extent. The columns of the island papers devoted to news are filled with accounts of meetings, and their advertising columns with resolutions on the state of its affairs. A deputation from the Kingston Chamber of Commerce waited on the governor on the 15th of April, with a petition from that body. Sir C. Grey's answer is of consequence, as showing the - direction he is trying to give to the general excitement. It is couched in these terms : I fully admit, whilst I sincerely deplore, the reality of the distress which has fallen on the planters in the British Went Indira, and on the merchants who depend on the planting interest ; and I believe the most immediate came of it to be, that British capital in largely withdrawn from our own coloMes, and that capital, whether British or not, is now more lucratively employed in the foreign colonies, and other countries where slavery still exists in full force and unmitigated atrocity. That it can he more profitably employed in such places no doubt depends very much uorm the admission of produce, obtained by the moat reckless steam, into the British market at a rate of duties approaching to the level of those which are raised upon produce from our eon colonies, where the cultivation is subjected to those social restraints which we suppose to be required for the main tenance of good order, for the security of persons and of pro perty, for the promotion of morality and religion, and for ensuringto every one the liberty which we believe to be the right of man. If the train of circumstances which bas tended in Jamaica to this ultimate depression of the planter's , gains should undergo no material altera tion before the present tendon of the imperial parllument Owes, I Mir it must bring upon that clam of our society still more afflicting cossequences; and I participate in your feeling, that it will be the paramount duty of the legisiature to give its whole thought to the teak of affording them all the help that is compatible with justice to the rest of the community End with the lasting welfare of the island. I um sanguine in hope and confident in belief that much might be done if we were to begin by a revisal of the primiplee of yoor taxation, and more espechilly of those tenth on assessments which are levied for pa rochial purposes. A more Audio. and careful method also of preparing in each session the annual cetimates of unsettled rot enditure and of ways and means, and a greater firmness In acting upo,i and in adher ing to such estimates after they have been approted of by the assem bly for the romirg year, are also each required. A foundation might thus be laid which would sustain a system of inure actively remedial mauves; and for such objects and purposes, if the niseedty should still continue, and the wishes of the inhabitants and of the members of the legislature should recommend an early mission, you may rely that, as torso it may deoend on me, there shall he no obstacle op posed to the timely me sing of the General Ateenibly, within such a period as shall afford full leisure for taking into consideration the state of the Wand, with all the deliberate care which so momentous an investigation would require.
