WOOL—LONDON.—The aspect of the trade for inglish has been, tor thllee last few weeks, rather en couraging than otherwise, inasmuch as the demand rather exceeded the stocks on hand. Wools cannot. it is consi dered, recede in price, as the holders are highly stocked, and the farmers will not give way this side the new clip. The foreign market remains in the same quiet state as for some time back ; few sales to iking, but there is no Sion on the part of the holders to give way in prices. ab importation, as yet, is very small, and not likely to be bap from Germany, Spain, or Russia. The stocks in the heads of the merchants, manufacturers, and dealers, were perhaps sever lighter. BILADPOILD.—The spinners are doing a little move ka buying, but, on the whole, we cannot record anything ar preaching to activity, and ai clip-time ia at hand there eaa be no doubt but all will buy sparingly, in the hope of getting a supply on easier term,. Brokes and soils are in good re quest, owing to the small quantity making, and full prices are realised. Lisaos.—The demand (or English Wool this week has been steady, and prices stationary. In foreign about an average business has been done during the past week, at LIVERPOOL.—The inquiry for Wool generally is still very limited, and but for the low state of stocks, prices would secede. The reasonable rates at which Buenos Ayres is offered, has tempted some purchases, and we have to report isonsiderable sale for both home consumption and fur ex portation to the Continent. We learn from the Customs report that the shipment of Wool to New York consisted of 1,487 Peruvian, 17 Buenos Ayres, and 36 United States. The imports of Wool into England during the put three months are exactly one third less than in the corresponding quarter of 1846. The decrease is principally from corn exporting countries. Imports of Wool into Liverpool for the week ending April 7. Foreign : Gibraltar, 69; Lisbon, 27; Cape of Good Hope, 4.5 bags. Total, 141 bags; pre viously this year, 16,065 bags. Scotch, 230; previously this year, 2,659 bags. Irish, 71 bags; previously this year, 2,659 bags. Irish, 71 bags ; previously this year, 1,256 bags. Easter is generally a holiday week, in which little business is done, and we have no alteration to report front last week. CATTLE, 3c.—SMITHFIELD, Two o' Clock.—We have a large increase in the supply of Beasts, and the change of weather being unfavourable to slaughtering, our trade is ancee.dingly heavy, at reduced prices. A few of the choicest Beata make nearly 4s. 6d., but this price is by no swans general. We have 391 from Holland, 200 from Scotland, 2,400 from Norfolk and Suffolk, and the remainder front various parts of the country. Several of the inferior descriptions remain unsold. There me more Sheep than of late, yet they are not over-abundant fee the time of year. The wet, mild weather, has caused a ' reunion in the trade, and, for the most part, rather lower are submitted to. Lamb is selling rather better an on Friday. There are but few Calves on offer; the ... supply, however, is quite equal to the demand : prices re main about the same. From Holland we have 220 Sheep and 17 Calves. Trade is very dull for Pigs.

Banger SPRING FAIR. —This great chartered mart for every class of Cattle concluded on Saturday, and for many years past there has not been so varied and well.arranged stock as was exhibited upon the recent occasion. There was a large attendance of purehmers. both as relates to improving and ready-hand stock for immediate purposes. The number of cattle was upon a very liberal scale, and every class of stock was takes off the hands of the owners with spirit, which was not the case oa the occasion of the last autumnal fen in September of the past year. There was • very fair proportion of Scotch Oxen, in admirable col dition, exhibited, which ruled at tip-up prices, viz., from 2W . t o 22 1. per head, and souse Cows ( with Cell beside) realise 241. to 25!. the lot. Cows in calf made from 181. to 181. each. There was a liberal demand for stock to be laid down for future improve ment, and taking the latter generally ft was highly com mended by both breeders and feeders. The flock samples wee in good order, and went off readily, at from 325. to 40s. per head, and healthy Ewes with Lamb by side were bar gained fur at the average price of 36e. per lot. The Pig market was exceedingly slack, for purchasers were re luctant to negotiate with the salesmen in this order of stock. There was a good sbow of Horses, both as relates to nags and team samples, the unrity of which went off a t full prices, the former at from 30!. to 32!. per head, and the latter from 30!. to 3.5'. Upon the whole, we do not rem, tuber so many satisfactory bargains effected, with regard to every dais and description of live stock at Spring Barnet Fair as was concluded at the close of the same oa Saturday 'Bemoan. DUBLIN, APRIL B.—The supply of Cattle and Sheep limited, and prices not at all effected by the recent show of fat cattle : even a middling description of Beef and Mutton fully realising our hightst quotations of last market. From the short supply and high prices, very few lots were bought for Import. Beef, 7.55. to 8... per cwt. ; Hatton, 7d. to 84d. per lb. ; Veal, 8.1. to Std. per :b., sinking offal. Lambs, 21s. to Zia each. BOYLII Aram F•ia.—The Green was well supplied with stock, and the superior description met ready purchasers. Several lots of two and three-year old Bullocks were sold lkom 101. to 131. 50. ; good mulch Cows were in much re quest, and may be quoted from 101. to 151. ; inf er i or di tto, Sum 51. to 101. ; two-year-old heifers, from 71. to 91. ; year lings, from 41. to 71. There was a limited supply of Heroes ; but scarcely any rigs. CLONHEL MONTHLY FAlL—There was a Very good attendance of purchasers, but fat stock was eery scarce. Fat Cows rated from 121. to 151. ; in-calf heifers, 81. to 121. ; strippers, 51. to 111. ; two-year-old heifers, 51. to 91. ; year lings, 21. to 41. Fat Sheep, 365. to 40.. Hoggets, 30.. to 42a. ; store Pigs, 255. to 50. ; bonnie , se. to [Os. The Horse fair was badly ended, and but few purchases were effected. NM:AIf FAIR.—We had a small fair of Beef and Mutton which sold at an enormously high price. Beef rated ( sinking offal) at from 6d. to 61d. per lb. Mr. John Metge, of Athlumney, had the best lot of Bullocks and Heifers on the Green ; he got for one Cow 261 Mutton (wedded) from 7 id. to ftd. per lb. ; ewes, Gil. to 7d. Mr. Bryan Reilly, of Kil harry, got 31. es. 6d. for a lot of wedden. We had a very Wye fair of Pip, and some of ss good quality as could be aims at any limo or season. There were a great many sent binno unsold. The prima ruled low, on account of some Wight fall in the English markets. The number of Horan in the fair•green wcre so inferior and few as not to be worth noticing. For Saturday's Mantas on did pap. SHIPPING.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-lIRIDOZ. —Maribor, IS W. post II ; Atiernoce. OW. pot 0. —Kornlim OW. peat 0 ; Afteraoce, AEA past 0 LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 12. THE obstinate disregard of law, the contempt of authority, the perverse desire to work out all things, whether modes of life, of contract, of justice, and re tribution, precisely in the direction and by ways pro hibited and -- "'"Anced by .government,—these are the charaetsuistiss exchisiiely of the pea sant or Celtic rasp In Ireland. They are jest as flagrant, and at this moment still more flagrant, is the upper and Saxon classes of Ireland—or landlords and influential gentry—than amongst the poor. There is a struggle going on throughout a great portion of Ireland of the proprietorial classes against government, and in this struggle these classes are en couraged and directed by their organs. The Repeal Association was not more active in banding the lower and middling orders of the Irish against English rule than the new landlord repeal party—for it is no less —in setting the property of Ireland in a crusade of passive resistance against government. Such recommendations are too welcome and too easily followed, not to suc ceed; for the Irish squire has bat to fold his arms and look sullenly and idly on, to mar every scheme and intention of the government. The labour rate has not only failed, but been con verted into such a monstrous system of out-door relief, that change or reduction is a problem of the greatest difficulty and danger. The proprietor class clamours against ont.door relief, yet when measures are taken for diminishing the amount, doing away with an idle libour test, and an expensive staff, the Irish resi dent declines the duty of serving on relief committees; and this in so many localities as to endanger the mea sure altogether. It is very singular that the Irish should clamour SD much for self-government, yet whenever or wherever the opportunity of self-management is held forth, it is declined. We admit that the task of serving out daily broth to a ..pulation, and striking rates to pay for it, on ..oet the same population, or a clans very much skin to it, is not pleasant. But, if the better and comfortable classes of Irish will not form relief eommittees—will cast act u poor-lav;:*gu;rdiansL;hai - i; to 17;done? You cannot certainly force a country to be free ; you cannot force millions to undertake the task of self-government, or any portion of that task. If the landlords are too much afraid of the peasantry, and the peasantry of the landlords; and if the middlemen and tenants are too much afraid of both to undertake any one office of local administration, what is to be done? Nothing, but to govern Ireland like a country in the remote age of cinlisation—dictatorially, doing every thing for it that it will not do for itself, nominating every functionary, down to the village bailiff, cen traluung all for the sake of simplicity, economy, and order. We are as great enemies of centralisation and dic tatorship u any, but if a country will have no other system, will help to work no other system—if, of the body - of landlords, in a time of national famine and bankruptcy, one half declares they will only take care of their own property, whilst the other half de clines even doing that—if the middle class hoard and fatten by the general distress and its high prices, protesting against any general tax which would reach commercial and profesaional income—if the poor want energy to till each his own acre, unless they be paid for doing so—what is to be done for inch a country, but to treat it as an infant, and provide for it, putting its property under the same tutelage ? We have feared from the first, indeed, that any local administration, such as that required by the poor-law, was impossible in the south and west. Still, no government could act upon such a supposi tion, without giving the country and its classes a fair trial• The principle of a poor-law must be carried out in Ireland, viz., its property must provide for its poverty. The question was, whether Irish property might not do this itself—its gentry and its middle clam—from its own machinery. That such could be done we find an example in the county of Wexford, where a " Landlord and Tenant Association" has been formed. The following extract from its first address will show its purport and aim : . The particular stem of relief afforded hitherto is about to cease, and a new mode of providing for the pressing wants of the class referred to will speedily come into • ~ 1 THE EXPtESS' MONDAY o. °1 rrio. Under that spite's, the istples pepokthet of ot7etry will, if unemployed, he fird he idleness. Thecon sequence will be, fist, a heavy tax., from the expenditure of which no profitable return will arise; secondly, the demos lixation and degradation of the lower ranks of society, whose habits of dependence, teas acquired, will render taxation under the new poor-law a burden too heavy for the country to bear. Two remedies present themselves, industrial profitable employment for the surplus labouring population, and emigration. The latter is a slow mode of relief ; not to be neglected, but too slow to have the requisite effect. The former is that alone of which we con at the moment avail ourselves to the extent required. To provide this remedy general exertion will be ne meaty. By the union of all, the burden falling upon each will be comparatively light. We therefore recommend that all landowners and occupiers throughout this country should meet, and consult without delay upon the best mode of im mediately eyeing the surplus labourers of this country to work. To curry out this it is necessary that absentee pro. I prieturs should send authorised representatives to call toge ther, consult, and art in unison with the tenant farmers of the county. Likewise that all persons having direct or in direct interest in leaded property should join in aid. An unequal share of burden will is many cases occur—risk will threaten in others ; but there can be no pause when the only alternative involves the country and its inhabitants iu degra dation and ruin. This committee will meet on the first Thursday of every month, to secure unity of action throug`i out the country. The relief committees of the several pear law electoral divisions of the county have been requested to act in conjunction with the bar. nial committees, as centres of action in their several districts, These committees will search out means of employment of a general nature, such as enlarged fisheries, reclamation of uncultivated tract', &c Such a mode as this of obviating the poor-law and its consequences we can understand and applaud. But the lying passive, the refusing to serve or to aid, and the leaving the country and its population flounder ing between a labour rate and a soup pot, because, forsooth, government will not undertake to pay the peasant for cultivating the land—this is a mixture of supineness and perversity which fully entitles government to supersede local authority altogether, and to go even the length of partial confiscation. It is idle to enter upon the consideration of waste lands, or poor-law rating. The first thing tribe provided is the machinery for carrying into effect any law of relief, any male of employ, any means of improve ment. If the landlords abdicate all public cares, if the middle class ignore all public ditties, what course is government to pursue ? By inciting and hallooing on the middle class against the higher, it might, indeed, find zealous instruments. But government very aaturally shrinks from using those weapons which its adversaries do not scruple to employ. An anxious and difficult problem has been solved in the question of supply. That is now abundant, and fears of deficiency disappear. This was one-half of the Irish difficulty. But of what use is provision to a country where labour will not earn, when those who have the substance hesitate to lay it out in profitable labour, and sit still because government may want the power or the will to gratify every ignorant caprice. Food is heaped into Irish ports, and the starving peasantry demand it. But the country lack the stewards to organise the only ante, natural, and industrial mode of distribution. THE amen opposition to the general desire of every thinking and philanthropic mind, to extend education in the only way that it can be, at present, extended to the poor and the rustic lower classes, re sembles much the sudden and daring attack of a body of light horse upon an army one hundred times their weight and number. The audacity and rapidity of the move at first astonished the mass against which it was directed. They could not believe that an attack so outrageous could be made without being supported by great numbers and superior tactics; and in fear that they might be overcome, many gave way before a handful, and the more timid surrendered their reason and self-possession to the bold men who threat ened to carry away both. A little time has enabled the public to come to a cooler consideration of both aides. People have been enabled to count the number, see through the sophisms, test the figures both of speech and arithmetic, and, above all, weigh the melancholy results to education, which these opponents of it would inflict; and the result has been, that man after man, and body after body, rally to the government measure. One day it is the Free Church of Scotland, another it is the Wesleyan. Even in the very strong holds of the anti-educationists we see their influence exploded. We saw what took place at Wakefield. Their attempts to pack a meeting at Birmingham we expose in this day's paper. At Bradford, the working dams, assembled to the number of 1,500, has declared loudly in favour of the government plan, minus six hands. In short, the reaction is general, and strong in proportion to the weakness which, on their first surprise, the educationists evinced. On this day the common council of the City of London is to record its oyinions on the proposed ministerial plan of education ; the evidence of the metropolitan police courts, the frequent deplorable scenes in our criminal courts, and the shocking spec tacles which meet oar eyes in the public streets, too sadlrove the increase of juvenile delinquency, and I too fla g rantly connect that increase with juvenile mis- I education, for us to entertain a moment's doubt of their decision. With Leeds we are not so well ac quainted; it is probably another Eden of innocence and prosperity, if we may judge from the nonchalant discarding of education by its town qpuncil. In Lon don we can boast of ao such primitive perfection : the municipal authorities have honourably aided the go- verement in conferring the blessings of education upon the pauper and the felon, and they are not likely to be the dupes of a logic which declares that paupers and felons are more worthy the attention of the government than the industrious or the honest. To state fairly the great question before the country is to decide it in the mind of every rational man, not misled by faction, not duped by the most perverse mis representations On looking over the various phases which the opposition to the minutes of council has assumed, we find the differences between the classes of opponents more startling than those which divide the great majority from the government. Were it fairly pro posed to the coming conference : " Ought such a sys tem of state education as was established by the pil grim fathers in America, and as now exists in the United States, to be unhesitatingly rejected by the people of England ?" we doubt whether the affirmative would be carried. But Mr. BAINES'S propositions go to the full extent of thin affirmative ; he denies alto gether the duty of the state to educate its citizens, and the right of citizens to be educated by the state : now we humbly submit that this is the very first question which such a conference ought to decide, and we confess that we cannot comprehend the means by which the difficulty can be evaded. The dissenters, taken as a body, are certes not , united in the opposition to the ministerial measure. The dignified and deliberative course pursue) by the educational committee of the Wesleyan methodists, in spite of the bitter taunts and insidious flatteries ad dressed to their body by rival sectaries, led us to anticipate their ultimate adoption of a religious and rational instead of a factious course. The acqui escence in the ministerial measure of the committee of the British and Foreign School Society—a body to which public education is so very deeply indebted— showed that the simulated apprehensions of pre tended patriots had made no impression upon their minds : and the readiness to accept government aid implied by the adoption of • report in which the be neficial purposes to which an educational grant might be applied, by unanimous vote of the congrega tionalist union in the summer of last - year, even now leads us to believe, that the Mr. BAINES of May, 1846, will have more followers among his own body than the Mr. BAINES of April, 1847. There is, however, more reason for regret than surprise at the opposition of Mr. Bailees and his associates. When did volunteer legislators and volunteer managers of the public money ever cheer fully resign their power or their trust ? Mr. BAINES is the leading member of a committee which abso lutely exercises all the powers that he describes as unconstitutional and dangerous in the Committee of Council. his committee fixes the amount of salaries —which he calls bribes—to schoolmasters ; supports that system of inspection which, in other hands bat his own, he regards as slavish ; and confers those rewards on monitors and diligent pupils which, if be stowed by another committee, he avers would lead to general corruption. In other words, Mr. BAINES is a member of the Congregational Educational Committee, and is not a member of the State Educa tional Committee, and to him, though not to us, this makes all the difference in the world. Had he not been unconsciously misled by his position, a man of his talents could not have failed to see the inconsis tency of requiring the government to establish schools in prisons and workhouses, while all aid is to be refused to the meritorious and the struggling por tion of the community. Sn soon as Mr. BAINES dis covers that to be prauked up in a little brief authority is no very worthy object of ambition; that to be EVENING, APRIL 12. 1847. autocrat over her-starved schoolmasters and dictator to feebly-managed schools is a position more calcula ted to feed puerile vanity than to justify manly pride, we have no doubt that he will allow his better reason to have sway, and that he will seek to place his fel low-countrymen in the position of demanding., as a right, what they are now compelled servilely to accept as a boon. Another reason for the present opposition, known to us from the beginning, has been recently pro claimed at Manchester, and we are therefore exone rated from the delicacy which rendered us reluctant to refer to it before. A section of the nonconformists has long been uneasy end dissatisfied, being haunted with the idea that they have no political standing in the country, no recognizable existence as a powerful party ; their cry has been Let us make us a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the earth !" A third source of opposition has been indicated in the report of the Congregational Education Committee. It appears that, in some places, unfair means have been used by sonic over-zealous clergyman to fill church schools at the expense of those established by dissenters. This has naturally given rise to much heart-burning, jealousy, and dissension; the noncon formists, not unnaturally indignant, dread that the churchmen will employ every new means placed at their disposal in a similar struggle for superiority. It is needless to add that we condemn and deplore such conduct on the part of churchmen, whether they be Puseyites or evangelicals ; but were we in the posi tion of the nonconformists, experience has taught us to view such proceedings with more contempt than alarm. The most rigid dissenters existing in Eng land were educated at church schools ; the most violent Romanist' of Ireland are those who received their early training in the Charter schools and the schools of the Kildare-place Society. It is to their belief in the probable use of such un fair means by churchmen, that we must attribute the qualified hostility of such men as Dr. VAUGHAN and the writers of the educational articl es in Tait's Magazine, the &otsman, the Morning Chronicle, and the Manches ter Examiner. They prefer the American and Irish schemes of an educational board independent in all its administrative functions of all voluntary associa tions, whether of churchmen or dissenters. We heartily concur with them; but when we look round we can find no more bitter enemy to their plan than their ally and associate Mr. BAINES himself. We submit to l these gentlemen that it is worth while to secure the recognition of the gveat principle for which both they and we contend, namely " the duty of the state to educate citizens, and the right of citizens to be educated by the state." None of them will be found more vigilant in watching the application of this principle, none of them more bold in denouncing its perversion than we shall be; but because of perver sion in detail we never shall abandon the principle itself. We look to Dr. VAUGHAN for the assertion of this principle in the coming conference; it is due to his position, his character, and the high reputation he h as deservedly obtained as a Christian philosopher and an enlightened politician. From his writings we have derived aid, from his les sons we have received instruction, and from his recent letter we have gained encouragement in the struggle. We, too, are jealous for the character of nonconformity ; and we should lament to see it adopt ing the abandoned artifices and reliaquisbed weapons of defeated faction. We auk Dr. VAUGHAN, for whom we entertain a sincere regard, to save the 13011C011- formists from adopting that self-same factious course which they denounced in 1839; to join us in rescu ing them from the desertion of the old puritan maxims, and the adoption of the repudiated doc trines of Lord STANLEY and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY; we ask him to be true to himself, to his publisled principles, and to his avowed con victions. The Madrid mails of the 4th and sth have brought intelligence of an &irate in the palace. It appears that the Queen, under the advice of her ministers, dismissed five principal functionaries of her household —a lady and four gentlemen. The morning after their dismissal they presented themselves at the palace, forced their way . to the private chamber of the Queen, and demanded, in no very respectful tone, it would seem, to continue their functions. Her Majesty thus bearded in her own house, commanded the instant attendance of her ministers, two of whom only at the moment (M. Salamanca, Minis ter of Finance, and M. Mazarredo, Minister of War) were accessible. By their interposition the Queen was protected from further outrage, but the dismissed functionaries did not cease the insolent tone and 1 language they had adopted, and two of them were finally put under arrest. The parties in this singular affair were the Marchioness of Santa Cruz, Camerara- Mayor (an office corresponding to the Mistress of the Robes in our household), Don Pedro Egan., Intendant of the Palace, M. de Rubianes, Captain of the Halberdiers, Colonel Guises, Lieutenant of the same corps, and Count de Cumbres-Altas, Equerry. The bake de Baylen (Castanos) is appointed Captain of the Halberdiers, and M. Pena y Aguayo has accepted the office of Intendant at the Palace, which was declined by M. Ventura de la Vega, who preferred to hold that of private secretary , of the Queen. The offices of Camerara-Mayor and Grand Equerry were not filled up, and it was supposed would be suppressed. Count de Cumbris-Altas was ordered to Valencia, where he was to be kept under arrest. It is hinted that doubts are entertained whether the Cortes will not be immediately dissolved. The Madrid Gazette of the 4th contains the ordon name which recalls M. Olozaga, and the declaration of the Minister of Justice, in which all that passed in the palace on this occasion, particulars of which we have already given, is stated in detail. The ordon nance adopted the term oblivion, but not pardon. M. Olozaga left Paris for Madrid on Thursday. Since the above was written we learn that the Duke de Baylen has declined accepting the command of the Halberdiers, and that the Duke de Castro Terreno, to whom the same poet was offered, has doue the same. Our Paris correspondence and the journals of Friday and Saturday have come to hand. The con templated extension of the present system of free trade in food to the 31st of July, 1848, which was announced long since in our Paris correspondence, is now all but certain. The Paris journals of Saturday say that a cabinet council has been already held on, this subject, and that the Minister of Commerce and Agriculture has been desired to procure the requisite justificatory documents and reports to support the project. Meanwhile another article has appeared in the Debuts which even goes farther than the preoed ing ones, for it lets out clearly enough that the wishes, if not the intentions, of the cabinet extend not merely to a temporary extension of free trade in food, but to its permanent establishment. The ministerial organ declares that the responsibi lity of the welfare of the people during the coming year must rest upon those who would oppose these precautionary measures. In fine, it may be regarded as certain that the present unrestricted commerce will be continued till August, 1848, not only in every spe cies of grain and vegetable subeistenoe, but in animal I food, in every state, including, of course, salted pro- M. Benoist has distributed the report of the corn minion on the state of the Bank of France, a resume of which we gave in our oorrespondence on Thursday. The difficulties of the Ministry of Finance, owing to the scanty and slow returns of the receivers general, and the small amount of the indirect taxes, are multiplied, and have at length driven the minister to temporary expedients to supply the exigencies of the department. It was reported at the Bourse on Friday, and, as we are assured also, credited among the best-informed persons, that the Treasury has raised a loan of thirty millions from the Bank for a year at 5 per cent., and that a well-known capitalist has supplied three millions more en the same terms. We mentioned formerly an application made by M. Lacave-Laplagne to the receivers-general for advances on the same terms, which were declined, although in January last the same receivers had offered advances at 4i per cent. Three amendments to the project of law respecting the Bank of France, now before the chamber, will be proposed ; two of them, by M. Leon Faucher and M. Lesaoudois, are to authorise the issue of 100 f. notes, as well in Paris as by the branch banks, the limit proposed by the present report being 200 f. The third amendment, proposed by M. Gamier Pages, is to restrict the bank from converting its capital into funded property, and to limit the amount of paper issue to four times the amount of the capital. We are assured that, as a further means of afford ing temporary relief to the finance department, it has been decided to issue bons de tresur, or exchequer bills, payable in three months at 4 per cent., in six months at 41 per cent, and in twelve months at 5 per cent. A royal ordonnance to this effect would appear in the Monsieur of this day (Monday). L' Union Monordsique gives the following: The interchange of couriers between Paris and St. Petersburg has become exceedingly frequent. From Paris, solicitations are made, through some well-known inter mediaries, for the appointment and despatch of a Russian Ambassador to Paris. This has been carried so fax as to cause an inquiry to be made, whether, as M. de Barante cannot return to St. Petersburg, this or that nomination would be agreeable to his Imperial !dainty. Ia this list is found the name of M. Bronson. We believe we are warranted in adirming that M. Ouizot, being invited by notes from the Austrian Cabinet, and warmly urged by Count d'Appony to declare himself on the subject of the French policy in Italy, has replied, in the name of the cabinet, in the mrnt satisfactory manner, de claring that France would not give any encouragement to those who dream of the reconstitution of the Italian Union, and, consequently, M. Rossi his received instructions en joining him to harmonise more and more with the policy of Austria. It was said on Saturday that the ministry had de cided on carrying into kik ct the sentence of capital punishment announced against the parties convicted of the food riots in the neighbourhood of Buzancais. It was still believed that official intelligence had been received of the fall of the Coletti ministry. Lord Cowley is reported to be dangerously ill in Paris. FRANCE.—PARIS, A r :2 L 10.—PRINCE POLIGNAC. —M. de Polignac, son of M. de Polignae, minister of Charles X., has demanded the title and seat of his father in the Chamber of Peers, in virtue of the hereditary law of the peerage. The heir of at name mixed up for more than half a century with the internal agitations of Franey p founds his claims upon the fact, that he dates the c i v il a id political death of his father as far back as 1830, at which time the ancient constitution of the peerage was not abro gated. DECEASE OF COGNY ISE MONTGUYON.--Count de Montguyon, Peer of From e, formerly Chambellan to the Emperor, and for a long time Preudeut of the Council. general de l'Oise, died at Paris on Wednesday. M. de Montguyon was elected 13,..,5uty of Beauvais in 1830. He took an active part in the revolution of July, and was created a peer by the preer it king. LYONS, APRIL s.—Liabolical attempts to cause a frightful lose of life were made on the St. Etienne and Lyons Railway on the night of the Ist. The engineer of the train which left Lyons bei ig attentively on the look-out, fancied he saw in the cutting near Irigny a dark substance lying on the rails. He ina.nediately brought the train to a sudden stand-still, fortunately without occasioning any seri dent by the shock. On descending from the locomotive, an enormous block of stone was found placed upon the rails. It was removed with difficulty, and the train continued its route. Some hours later the locomotive and carriages which ; left St. Etienne for Lyons on the other line of rails, ran upon a large block of stone placvl on them near the same spot as the other. The locomotive was thrown off the line, but by a providential chance no injury was done to any of the car riages. The authors of thi • great crime are believed to be long to the commune of Irigny, and the police are making every exertion to discover them. The law declares that such offences shall incur the penalty of death, MR. O'CONNELL IN FRANCE.—The Univers pub lithe* the following letter, rated Never Easter Sunday :— The snow and cold have retarded the journey of ' the liberator of Ireland' since his departure from Paris. The reception he experienced al,ng the road contrasted with the severity of the atmosphere. O'Connell has everywhere re ceived the most affecting t. ntimonies of sympathy. The enewd filled the courts of the hotels in which healighted, and 'spooned their feelings by eisnifestations which had a cha ncier of spontaneousness an I sincerity highly flattering far the Illustrious traveller. Very often, when his carriage Mopped to change horses, the population of the villager, with their parish priests at their head , came to salute the liberator and wrih him a pleasantjourn, y. But the at'entions with which he was surrounded at Neves. by far exceeded those paid to him anywhere else along the road. The bishop, ateempa panied by the dignitaries of : is chapter, presented himself on Saturday morning at his h , 'el to offer him their homages; but, on being informed that O'Con ne ll was i n b e d , an d t h at he was only to leave on the f o llowing day, the prelate with drew. He returned, however, followed by a portion of hie clergy, in the evening. The worthy prelate permitted mask to be celebrated in the apartmont of the illustrious patient, who was se weak as to be u sable to go to church. On Easter Sunday, after the ltev. Dr. Miley had cele brated divine serriee, the chaplain of his lordship waited on Mr. O'Connell, and assure I him that the bishop would consider himself highly honoured if he would accept an apart ment he had caused to be fitted out in his palate. The mes senger of the bishop added that he would be attended by the Sisters of Charity. Mr. O'Connell regretted his inability to accept the amiable invitation, bet was greatly affeeted by the kindness of the bishop. The p re fe c t o f th e Nievre, Colonel, Berryer, brother of the deputy, the influential Catholics, the president of the society of fit. Vincent of Paul, and the prin cipal inhabitants of the town and its environs, without any distinction of opinion, came to visit Mr. O'Connell and in quire after his health. Mr. O'Connell expects to be able to leave to-morrow for Moulins. SWITZFur A 10 - v. - I.—BERNE, APRIL s.—The seven cantons of the ultramontane league have addressed a demand to the other cantons for the re-est ablishment of the convents in Asras. The league also avows its intention of opposing by armed force any attempt to expel the Jesuits. The Vorort of Beene has sent a circular to all the cantons, stating that it is not is its power to put a stop to the extraordinary arming of the seven ultramontane cantons, and that the Diet alone can take measures relative thereto. SARDINIA.—A letter from Nice states that during the two days which Don Henry of Spain passed there he was joined by the Count de Castellar and his two sisters, and that they all left in company for Rome, when Don Henry hopes, it is said, that the Pope will.pronounce the blessing on the union of the Prince with the Coant's eldest sister. GERMANY.—A ENNA, APR. 4.—The Emperor of Russia is expected in Warsaw on the 14th inst., for the solemn installation of the Grand-Duke Michael as Viceroy of Poland.

HANOVER. BRUNSW ICK, APRIL 5. The two Chambers have unanimously adopted the project of the go- vernment to declare the ports of liarburg and Ar-der- Geesta free ports. The first Chamber alto declared that it wee ready to sanction any measures of the government to take a similar step with the ports of the Ems. PRUSSIA. TREVES.— The municipal council of Tr4ves appointed, some time back, a c immissi on to draw up a memorandum, to be presented by the deputy of Trives to the Diet, expressing the opinion of the council on the new Prussian constitnion. The memorial= was read in a public sitting at Troilus on the 2nd Met, and unanimously adopted. The council recommends its deputy, M. Mohr, to make respectful but formal reserves against the ordonnances of the 3rd Feb., as placing restrictions on existing constitu tional rights, to avoid any net which might imply an acknow ledgment of the restrictions imposed by the orilonnances of the 3rd Feb., such as the consent for new loans, a change in the customs duties, the nomination of the committee, and deputation of the Diet ; to entreat his Majc sty to establish an electoral system, in which every class of society will be duly represented; to abolish all laws and measures against the public press, and to abolish all restrictions on the right of petition. TRIESTE.—In six trials the Gorman overland mail has had the advantage over the French. In order to make use of the victory the Austrian Lloyd's will begin with August the communication between Trieste and Alexandria, twice in the month, in sirict connection with the steam-boats to and from the East Indies, and will snake the necessary arrangements to establish a regular communication by couriers with England, coinciding with the arrival and departure of the mail. The courier will deliver the packets of letters from India to the proper postufflces to forward them; the packets for India to be forwarded immedi ately on their arrival in Trieste, by the steam-boat to Alexandria. If this journey of the couriers through Southern Germany and along the Rhine be connected with the con vention proposed by Austria between the railway directors on the line between Trieste and Hamburg, there can be no doubt that all Germany, the north. Holland, Belgium, and England will prefer the route to India and back by way of Trieste. If in the sequel the establishment of regular siesta communication between New York and Bremen affords • possibility of performing the whole route in thirteen days, the entire correspondence of North America, will likewise take the way through Germany, and join in Hanover the overland mail. The forwarding of letters will soon be fol lowed by that of passengers, when the necessary arrange ments shall ban been taken to ensure safety, convenience, and cheapness.—Affgemeine Zoitung, April 6. - - BOURBON.—M. BAIRBET Oe JOCY.—Letters from Bourbon state that M. Barbet de Jouy was still st the colony. He had received no reply to the note he sent to the French go, rnment explanatory of bin conduct: no official notifies of his having been superseded. and his successor had not arrived at the Mauritius. The only communication he re ceived from Paris was a short letter enjoining him to await at Bourbon the instructions of his government. Since then many months have pseud, and he has received no further communications. HAVANNAH, MARCH I.—The Viechnon, arrived at Havre on the 9th, brings intelligence respecting the French division at anchor at that port, ander the orders of Contre Admiral Laplace. It is composed of the frigate Andromede, flag ship, the Boumle corvette, the Blonde and Naiads and the Lapeyrouse. On February 28 a funeral service was performed in commemoration of the death of the sailors of the division who died of yellow fever, or from the consegneuces of the hurricane which took place in the latter end or 1848. The Tonnerre, steam-Omits, of 180 horse power, had just left Havannah on her way to the Antilles. It may not he amiss to give an account, transcribed from the Jaunted du llama, of the grounding of this vessel on • reef to the north of Cuba. The Tonnerre had left Havannah on her way to Nuevitas to seek for the rhipwreckeil people of an American vessel called the Creole. Bhe had on board as guide in those dangerous seas the pilot of the Spanish admiral's vessel. On the 12th of January, at about 10 p.m., the ship was about to be brought to for the night, but, deceived by the last observations, which had caused the point of Juan Dinen to be taken for that of Naternillos, she struck on a reef neer the ia'and of Guyette. The tide was fortunately at ebb, and immediate measureswere taken to get her off, but at first unsucceseiully.
