TUERE can be no great, presumption in assuring Sir CHARLES WOOD that he has committed another small mistake. Mr. IiERRIES asked but !Me, and asked it with so good a grace and upon so sure a ground that li the thing to be dote was most assuredly not to MIT the precious question. Sir CEIARLES N% 00D must not fancy that because the member for Stamford is not a briffirnt he is not therefore a formidable antagonist. The perspicuity, the earnestness, and the strong sense of Mr. HERRIE , are dangerous qualities when op posed to the pertinacious common-place which the CRANCELIOE, or THE EXCHEQUER has so far exclusively employed as his defence against all the perils and pittills of his currency legish.tion. Upon no occasion has the insufficiency of this defence been more apparent than eluting lust night's discus sion. Mr. Hentetes advanced to the attack with all the science cf a practised general. His tone was tempe rate, his arrangement lucid, his demands moderate, his proofs cogent, and, above all, his topic seasonable. If be complained, he substantiated his accusation by a reason; and, if he now and then spoke with the confi dence of a man who sees the certain end of his con demnation to a minorey, we will venture to say that few political anticipations have ever rested upon a more plausible foundation. Why, what are tho facts? Here we are, said Mr. HERRIES, at the end 0: a session which has once or twice threatened to become perennial, and before us here are two ponderous folios the offspring of those bust Mg motions of the finance minister in the critical days of last November, when it was determined to delegate the subject of the com mercial (:ietret , s to committees up stairs. Now, in point of f ict, wl at has been the upshot of these minis terial icquii ies Why, said Mr. HERMES—and no body can deny that he was fairly justified in pro nouncing this portion of his speech with additional emphasis—out of four-and-twenty witnesses examined before the eo-rmittee of this house there are no less than eighteen who have, in the moat precise and positive manner, declared themselves convinced that the act of lei 4 is a public nuisance and ought to be abated, and these eighteen witnesses ere not mere men of straw whose opinions have been made for the occasion, or who have appeared before the legislature to give a hasty recital of a hastily as sumed sentiment. Quite the contrary. You may dispose and classify . them as you please, and at the end of your ingenuity you will still discover that the representatives of the London bankers, the spokes men of the country bankers, the delegates of the great commercial corporations of Scotland and of the Irish portion of the united king dom, the leading men of your manufacturing and mercantile communities, the great money dealers who rue wits a kied of undisputed supremacy over the financial arcane of this metropolis, and the profound thinkers who have bestowed the labour of a life, and have expended all the resources of philosophy in elucidating these intricate questiona—twist and modify and adjust as you please, and you will still find this formidable host of testi mony directly opposed to the maintenance of the law as it at prevent stands. Surely, ran the comment of last night, this is a prima facie case. Surely here is good ground to justify a reconsideration. Surely it is a desperate and a tearful game to venture upon the troubled surface of such an autumn as we have before us and in the face of such a warning, without taking some measures of precaution, and without appearing to set any greater value upon your recent experience than upon the fable of the Siege of Troy, or the expedition of the Golden Fleece. But Sir CHARLEs NYOOD is a bold man, and so the common sense of Mr. HERMES did not obtain its re ward, and the country are again left to the con tingency of an order in council, and the problematical effect of an actual crisis upon the nerves of her Majesty's responsible advisers. Pasaing, however, from this disagreeable con demnaticn, let us revert again to the debate. We have ourselves been courteously accused of going beyond the mark in attributing various achieve ments of sleight of hand to the management of the Commons' Committee. We gently hinted that the report might be at the end, without being either the result or the echo of the evidence, and we confessed to a shrewd suspicion that as one of the moat eminent men of the last age used to tell hie con stituents at Bristol, this was precisely one of those cues in which the people who gave the verdict were very often three hundred miles from those who heard the evidence. We are happy to say that the facts do not convict us of a churlish charity. Mr. HERMES let in some few rays of light upon the secrets of the committee. Ile complimented the edroit CHAN CELLOR upon the "dexterity and the intrepidity" with which he pushed on his case through good report and evil report, upon his ac curate knowledge of times and seasons, and upon the general success of the machinery he put in action. Let us also bear testimony to the con venient sagacity of the noble lord at the head of the Wind. In the early days of the committee, says Bemires, the noble toed alleged, no doubt with mason, that the pressure of hie other duties was a reasonable excuse for his becoming an absentee. very well. But—continues the narrative—when the time arrived for making a conclusion, the noble lord aPPeored to have suddenly received the benefit of an emancipation act. There he was the first upon the Desch, and the last out of the door. From 12 o'clock mu 4 seemed to be no object, and whenever a speech ora vote co u ld a id t h e tact i cs o f t h e ass id uous Chan cellor, there was always a ready and zealous ally in the noble lord. In reality, the official duties which moment(' the absence of the noble lord in the "13 , and deliberative days of the investiga tion seemed to procure for him something very like the - miraculous services of the telescope through which the Welshman could not only see the church but also hear the psalmody. This is not a time, however, at which it is either wise or decent to argue this question upon the narrow grounds of persocal dexterity or political tactics. Mr. HERRIEB told the house very truly that, however a majority in parliament may decide, there is a majority out of doors which will pass a definitive resolution. We stand upon a very ominous threshold. There is a suspicion, and a suspicion rest ing upon evidence sadly over plain, that, irrespective of future vicissitudes of sunshine and temperature, the result of the harvest w ill not be at all propitious. We are already named by pre monitory symptoms in the money market that the advent of our depressed exchange is a contingency already producing an tfT et. lu Ireland the end of the rebellion of the sword will in all human proba bility be a rebellion of the telly. In the face of these contingencies the 'mimesl coma.on sense of the country is expressed in a very ample form of intetroga'ory, and this is the tenour of it. Is it consistent with any reasonable rule of con duct that, in spite of the most overwhelm ing evidence, a statute already the accia,ary of so dire a mischief should be retained in full and undiminished integrity ? The government say decidedly it is ; Mr. HERMES says decidedly it is not ; and probably about the end of next October thu country will be able to give a pretty positive opinion as to which is tho best conclusion. IT is melancholy to reflect that, whilst all the aspi rations of the old world tend in the direction of free- dom, the question which chiefly agitates the Lew is that of the extension and perpetuation of shivery. From the viry first we regarded the Mexican war as an t vent which would prove more perilous to the aggressor than to the p lily attacked. Apart from the moral issues which it involved, there were eons:derations of a dithrent description which should have induced the American people to avoid a collision with Mex i co; but these considerations were ovcr . looked. The war with the neighbouring tepublic wee planned, precipitated, and earn( d out to gratify the pas- RCM which had been aroused against this country by theadministration, in conducting its negotiations with respect to On gun. Hostilities have now ceased ; the American troops are withdrawn from Mexico, and the mutual relations of the two republics are once more regulated by a treaty of peace. The war hos ended gloriously for the American arms, but it has be queatht d a troublesome legacy to the c mqueror. It has raised in a serious shape the gravest question that can agitate American parties, and already hide fair to array, ere long, against each other, the two great sections of the confederacy. The q,uestion of slavery has been felt by all parties in the lmion to be one of such transcendent difficulty, that • constant desire has been manifested to poet pone, as long as possible, its final decision. Tne issues were so momentous, the contingencies so grave, which it involvtd, that they have systw matically shrunk from grappling with it, avoiding by successive compromises its solution whenever circumstances have conspired to bring it forward. In the south the question partakes of a social and political character; in the north it is almost entirely political. The feeling in favour of abolition is mach more extensive in the latter than the number and strength of the abolition party would imply, the great bulk of the population of the free slates lc, eying aloof from that party, some because they regard its tactics as calculated to defeat its own object, and others on account of the delicacy of the sutjeet and tho danger of its precipitating a collision between the north and the south. But it may be said gene rally of the whole north that it is opposed :o slavery, sensible of the stigma that it casts upon the name of the republic, and well knowing that, should a servile insurrection occur, of which every day increases the probability, it would hare to share equally with the south in the dangers and the expenses of suppressing it. The influence cf the north is, therefore, steadily dirt ctcd against the system ; but the pressure from that quarter has not as yet Leen suff.tiently violent to endanger the integrity of the union. It has been sufficiently great, however, to put the south in an attitude of constant defence. An anta gor ism is thus steadily at work between the free and the slave states, the chief mani frstations of which arc generaly confined to the political arena at Was:lingua]. The question of slavery has thus divided the American people into two great political parties, the line of division be tween them being a geographical one, and having uo reference whatever to any of the other party ques tions about which we hear so much, and which give rise to such noisy and virulent contention. In addi tion to the question of political balance which it has raised between the two great sections of the union, the south contend for slavery as a social institution, the sad& n removal of which, however deplorable may be its presence, would visit it with ruin and disaster. The parties thus arrayed, and the question, by consent of both, being treated between them as purely a political one, the difficulty with which each has had to contend was to prevent the other from occupying a position of political ascendancy. Indeed so perilous would such an ascendancy be on the part of either, that both, aware that its attainment would brir g the controversy to the dreaded crisis, have been anxious to prevent its attainment by the one or the other. The struggle then has been hitherto mere to preserve the existing balance than to disturb it. For a long time circumstances favoured this object. The great national domain, out of which new states have been from time to time carved, lie, like the states themselves, almost equally divided by the line separating the slave-holding from the free com munities. This enabled the two sections, as new states were admitted, still to perpetuate the balance, for wherever a slave state was admitted a free state was admitted at the same time. Thus, when Arkansas was erected into a state in the south, Michigan was admitted as one in the north. When lowa came in as a free state, Florita balanced it as a slave state. And so with Wisconsin and Texas. As all the states are equally represented in the Senate, it is evident that this system, so long as it could be pursued, would keep the beam from dipping at one end or the other ; and so long as this could be effected a convenient means was afforded of staving off the final issue. It was on the annexation of Texas that parties began to perceive that they could not much longer avoid meeing the difficulty in the face. It is true that simultaneously with Texas a free state was ad mitted into the union ; but whilst Wisconsin was but a :single state, Texas was an enormous territorT, capable of being yet carved into three or four states. The free states complained that they were not suffi ciently compensated for the gain that slavery had made west of the Sabine. The territory, which formed the raw material of new states in the north, had become exhausted, the admission of Wisconsin compt till the belt of states, which now line the Mississippi on its west bank, from its sources to the Gulf. The territory which lay between that belt and the Rocky Mountains, and north of the slavery line, was vast, but it was in great part a deseit,in no part of which wags. new state likely to arise for a century to come. But Texas was rapidly filling with people every day, and what remained as a set off to the new states into which it would be di- vided ? The abolitionists were furious under these circumstances at the proposal to annex Texas as a slave state to the Union. They submitted, how ever, but not until they were pacified by the promise that they should have Oregon. This is the secret of the rabid manner in which the late JOHN QUINCEY ADAMS, the chief of the abolitionists, advocated the American claim to that territory, it being sufficiently large, if acquired in tato, to make two free states at least. The portion of it which America now holds will in due time make one large state. This again postponed the q uestion for a time, when the Mexican war broke out. Every one foresaw that that war would termina te, as it has done, w ith at least a large acquisition of territory by the United States. As that territory lay contiguous to the slave states, and almost entirely within the slave latitudes, it required no great degree of foresight to see the in timate bearing which the issue of the war would have upon the question of slavery. The.evei . it hail realised the anticipations that were f o rmed of it. The vast region of California —the fine and the hilly province of of New Mexico, and a great part of department thin the American T am aulipas, are now ieeloded wi line. The future deathly of-this territorial acq u i sition will be the test by which the stability of the union is to be tried. Observe the position of parties with respect to it. As regards the institu tions of the south, it is of vital importance that the new territory should not be free. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1848. With a range of free states extending along its northern frontier for about a thousand miles, it looks ' with dismay upon the proposal to flank it with a vast i free territory to the westward. It has all the more , reason to apprehend this, considering that, south- I ward, are Hayti, and the free British colonies, with Cuba and Porto Rico in a state of incipient ' servile revolt. Slavery in America, would not be worth a month's purchase, if the south were thus surrounded on all sides by free populations. The vital interest, therefore, which it has in the pending controversy may easily be imagined. To tho north, again, the question is equally im• I portant, but fur different reasons. It looks with just alarm upon the vast accession of strength which slavery would obtain by permitting its establishment in the new territory. 'I he compromise ryatem will no longer avail, fur, short of the British provinces, the . north has nothing to look to as a set off to the new acquisition. This, 'therefore, at last brings the question to a head—arid with this comes at last the day of trial. The ingenuity of Congress has been to months taxed in vain to stave rif yet again, if possible, the issue. A compromise, on a new princi ple, has been proposed and adopted by the senate, a bilihaving passed that body enacting that all th • ter ritory north of the 36th parallel of latitude should be free, and leaving it to the future occupiers of that which lay south of that parallel, to decide for them selves whether they would have slavery or not. But ea very little of the new territory lay north of the 36th parallel, and as the proposal to leave the decision of the question, as regarded that lying south of it, to its future occu piers, was virtually to make slave territory of the latter ; the norm refused to entertain the proposition. The senate bill has been summarily laid upon the table of the lower house by a considerable majority— in other words, the House of Representatives has re -1 used even to listen to it. Congress adjourned on the nth inst., leaving the question in this unsettled state, as a bone of contention between parties at the pending presidential election. The question has now, therefore, reached that stage that the soiner it is settled the better. Tnere is every danger in delay. And so is there danger in approach ing it. But the time is now near at hand when one or the other party must yield, or when both, adhering to their principles, will rend the Union asunder. This is the legacy which tiro Mexican war has be queathed to the United States. The present state of the question will have one good immediate effect, however, for it will keep CASs from the presidency. la the existing state of the world's affairs this will be a blessing to humanity. TAYLOR'S chances of success are becoming daily more promising ; but then with Txvi.ox we shall have the whigs in, and with the whigs, it is to be feared, a revival of high twills. FRANCE. l'AttlS, MP:RDAS', 11 A Y. The military demonstration which I mentioned in my letter of lust evening is given with more detail in the ,journals of this morning. Nothing, however, occurred to disturb order, and towards the evening the troops were dismissed to their quarters. The commission has not published all the docu ments seized at Schneer', but has deposited them at the Asse ably, so that they may be consulted by the presentatives. The first permanent court-martial sat again yester day to try Paul Saiutard, who bad been one of the Nlontaznards, charged with having taken the com mand of the insurgents at the barricade of the Rue du Jardin des Plantes, thus attempting to destroy the go vernment of the republic, exciting civil war, and bringing devastation, massacre, and pillage into the capital. The p•isoner was sent. need to hard labour at fire hulks for 10 yearr, to pay a tine of 200 f. and the costs of the prosecution. Another detachment of about 400 of the insurgent prisoners ordered for transportation was sent off to llavre on Sunday night, by the railroad, and among them were several in the uniform of the National (Maid and the Garde Iti,publicaine. loyal Austriass. We fight for the liberty of the crown and of the people—fer fraterrity and cquality." Idolised y hie soldiers, the Beau returned from St. Joan to Agram. In the course of this week the attack will com mence. The forces of the Bann are est.sated between 80,000 and 00,000 men. It will be seen, by reference to our Italian news, that a Croatian force, which had occupied Fiume, is said to have marched towards Trieste. COLOGNE, Auo. 20. Our gaieties are ended; the current of events flows again in its wonted channel, and we may calmly re view the incidents of the last few days. The King of Prussia's excursion to Cologne to meet the Vicar of the Empire and the parliament fell upon the same days which the l'rince of Prussia selected foe an ex eursion to Stettin to witness an expression of the sen timents of " the pure Prussian blood." Whilst the King was exchanging felicitatious with the parlia ment, the Prince was in the north of Germany taking a census of the friends of the ancient state of things. The King of Prussia was drinking the healths of people who are the sons of a revolution at the same time that the Prince of Prussia was drinking the healths of people who remained faithful to anti-revo lutionary I elieth and holes. This is the double face which Prussian politics wear at this moment, and which shows itself everywhere. There are many people who believe the Kiog sincere in his revolutionary and liberal demonstrations ; there are others who look upon them as a farce. For my part, I am of the opinion of the former, but this does not set my mind at ease. The King is energetic by starts, but he is not stable and firm in his resolu tions, and no one can 'predict what he will desire and think to-morrow. But there are indications which warn us that, notwithstanding his liberal protesta tions, we ought to he on our guard, and not take them tbr more than they are worth. Many people have been struck by the "accidental" forgetfulness of the King to invite Baron Von Arnim, formerly the Prussian ambassador at Paris, and more recently Minister of Foreign Affairs, who resides at Bonn, only two mi!es from Bruhl. They ask why M. Von Arnim was left out? And this is the answer. "It was M. Von Arnim who prompted the King to say, Prussia mast resolve itself into Germany' (Prenssen muss in Deutschland anfyehn) ; and th ■ expression was and is the cause of the ex-ambassador's and x-minister's disgrace. The who!o court is eta-aged at this expression, and the King thinks as the court thinks; or, if he thinks otherwise, has no wish to quarrel with the court for the sake of a displaced mini-ter. At all events the incident is full of meaning, when vie wed in con nexion with tie toasts and speeches of these last tow days. The parliament at Frankfort in‘ists upon Prussia becoming a province of Germany; the King of Prussia drinks the health of the parlia ment ; and at the same time he keeps at a distance tee only minister who appears to comprehend the true position of Prussia in a consolidated German em ',ire. From all this it mast be inferred that if the King of Prusaia is sincere his position is neither clear nor satisfactory. It may be that he desires the unity of Germany; but ho desires it after a fashion of his own —after the l'russian fashion. lie wishes Germany to become Prussia, not Prussia to become Germany. It is also remarked that the king drank the health of the members of the parliament, but that he did not drink success to parliament; that the Priece of Prussia, when in the north, did not once mention the words " Ge•many " or " parliament ;" and that he talked about nothing but Prussia, and the loyalty of the subjects of I'russia to their princes, and their immediate country. This exclusively Prussian party in Prussia can never have the ascendancy ; it has in its favour only some of the provinces—and even in them there are ac tive and devoted friends of the German cause—and a f, w towns in the west. But this party is backed by the court, and by a good many of the high civil and military functionaries. For the moment, this party is all-powerful .n the upper regions of society, and the consequence is that in the lower regions many dare not express their real sentiments for tear of incurring he of their superiors. Hence, too, we witness many demonstrations in favour of this party in localities where it is the reverse of popular. This was the case, for example, even here in Cologne. The soldiers of the regiments stationed at Cologne are not re-actionariee in the mass. It ever they are called upon to choose between l'ruesia and Germany they will show their German patriotism. But that has not hindered the officers from placing on the principal barrack in Cologne the insc •iptien —" Frederick William we are thine " (Friedrich Wilhelm win rind ein). The public was disgusted at this device; many of the soldiers were indignant; but nobody hooted it, because such an expression of feeling would have led to a brawl, and that was to be avoided during such a festival. A similar expression of sentiment at Dusseldorf has produced a lamentable result there. The excessive zeal of the Prussians par excellence pro voked a counter-expression on the part of the Ger mans, and some anarchists have carried their opposi tion to revolting brutalities. There is reason to apprehend that these are not the last excesses that may have to be recorded ; but there is every reason to hope that parliament, acting as hitherto with firm ness and prudence, will in the end overcome all resistance, and compel Prussia to "resolve itself into Germany," notwithstanding the disgrace which has struck the man who first uttered this historical ex pression. AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, AUG. 17.—1 n consequence of the heavy raise, storm', and partial rain spouts which Man dated the country during the nights of the let and 2nd July, the greater part of the circle of Villach, in the government of Laybach, in Austrian 11lyria, namely in Tarvia, Korte►- chach, Spital, Cii-mfenberg, and Upper Villach, has been devastated and destroyed to a moot tearful extent, and hun dreds of families have been brought to beggary and the ut most distress. The damage sustained cannot he less than several thousmd guilders. A public subscription has hen opened in Vienna by the city police authorities, and it is earnestly hoped that the distress with which this large portion of our fellow-subjects have been so unexpectedly visited will be mitigated by those who have been spared a similar visitation of Providence. IMAZILS.—By the French steamer Magellan, whi. h has arrived in France with Baron Oroe on board, we have dates from Rio Janeiro to the 2nd of July. The arrival out of the news of the blockade of the Elbe had off •cted commercial matters to such a degree that exchange fell to '23d. GERMANY. AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, Acc. 17.—Two important communications were made yesterday to the con stituent diet; one by the Minister of the Interior, the other by the committee of finance. M. Dobblhoff asked leave to reply to some ques tions which had been put to him at the previous sitting by M. Liihner. These questions were in effect : What provincial diets had met since the con stituent diet assembled? What was the object of their meeting, and how would it affect the position of the national representatioi , s ? Aud whether ministers intcndtd to recognise their enactments as definitive ? These questions indicated a jealousy that ministers intended to play off the provincial diets against the constituent diet. M. Dobblhoff stated that the prov ocial diets which have assembled since the 13th of March are those of Moravia, Silesia, Upper Austria, Tyrol, Steirmark, Carinthia, and Drain. The object of their convection is to despatch purely local business. Another motive that had prompttd 'he assembling of these local diets was the prospect of obtaining import ant information respecting the state of their pro vinces as matter for the deliberations of the consti tuent diet. They had been convened by ministerial circulars, which were authorised by the constitution. The votes of there diets would not have the power of laws until sanctioned by the constituent diet. Minis ters would to this end submit them to the people's representatives as soon as received. This declaration was received with applause, and M. Latter declared himself satisfied. M. Dobblhoff proceeded to com municate some information respecting the progress of the cholera lie regretted that it would not be so tranquillising as some he had formerly given. The Asiatic cholera had crossed the Austrian frontier: it had broken out in the Bukowina. As yet it was not so virulent as in Moldavia and Wallachia, but it was only beginning. Ministers had previously given orders to adopt the same measures for arresting the progress of the disease as in 1847. Precautionary measures had also been adopted in the government of Lemberg. The report of the finance committee, delivered in by M. Pillersdorf, was as follows : The first care of the committee wee to ascertain the sum Indispensable for the service of the year. There appears to be a deficit of between seventeen end twenty millions. The com mittee hope, however, that the wh-le of this may sot be needed, inasmuch as success has attended the military operations, and the hostile powers and the reclaimed provinces may be expected to contribute to the war expenditure. The Minister of Finance proposes to cover this deficit by employing the credit of the state, and the committee acquiesce, though reluctantly, in the proposal, as the shortness of time admits of no other mea sure, but are anxious that no additional debts should be in curred. The committee disapproves of the proposal to bring toe credit of the National Bank into play. It consents to an haus of Exchequer bills, but le opposed to making them legal tender, or compelling the Bank to receive them. The Committee has no objection to a loan on state debentures, but objects to hypothecating the lands of the church or state for their payment ; for the guarantee of the representatives of the people ought to be eufficMnt and such security would be unjust to the already eMeting creditors of the state. The committee urgently requests the immediate revocation of the prohibition of the exportation of silver as hurtful, and an act of hostility to Germany with which Austria is so intimately added. The committee proposes the immediate opening of a loan of twenty millions, either on Exchequer Bile or as a simple loan. But the former are not to be declared legal, or the Bank to be required to receive them; and no security is to be given for the latter on the lands of the church or state. Lenders may be encouraged, however, by offering a higher rate of interest. In conclusion, the com mittee express the wish that ministers will exert themselves to conclude a peace as scan as possible; will make in the meantime the reclaimed provinces responsible for a part of the loan; will bring forward the budget without delay ; will revoke the prohibition to export silver; and that the Diet will appoint a commission of finance. The report was ordered to be printed. The Assem bly then resumed the deba'e on M. Kudlich's motion for the abolition of the feudal nexus, which was again -- - adjourned. Between Croatia and Hungary matters are likely soon to come to an issue. A letter from Agram, of August 12, in the Breslaw Gazette, says : Great events are at hand. All the Croatian regular troops, about 18,000 men, are hastening to the frontiers. On Situnlay last the Bann mustered the Ottochan bor derers, who have returned from Peschiers, at St. Joan (Jnanteh), and addressed them to the following effect: " Valiant Ottochans,—Your heroism is the admiration of Europe. We now contend for the central power, a con stitutional monarchy, which must devolve upon the imperial dynasty. The greater part of Hungary awaits us u their deliveries. Only four weeks and you will retain to the bosom of your families. A fine constitutional 'moire, the bulwark against all enemies from the east and the west, will be the reward of all faithful Croatians and all tErbe Court. OSBORNE, TUESDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert, with their guests and family, attendcd the regatta at Cowes in the afternoon. His Excellency M. d'Andrian, Vice-President of the Germanic National Assembly at Frankfort, has arrived at Mivart's Hotel (via Paris), charged with an extraordinary mission to the governments of France and Eng'and.

TUE NEW FOREST.—The Doke of Cambridge, Lord W►rden cf the New Forest, has arrived at Minstead Manor House, near Lyndhurst, on a visit to H. C. Compton, Esq., 'ne of the members for South Hants. His royal highness is unattended, and, so far as the weather permits, takes daily exercise in different parts of the forest, in the affair of which he appears much interested. DEPUTATION TO THE FOREIGN-OFFICE ON THE AFFAIRS OF TIER Riven PLATE.—On Monday a deputation of Lthethers of parliament had an interview with Lord Pal merston, at the Foreign-office, to present a memorial signed by the mayor and a number of highly respectable merchants of Manchester, with ref-rence to the continued ir.terniption in the trade of the River Plate. The deputation conauted of Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Bright, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Brown, Mr. Ihornely, Mr. Kershaw, and Mr. Matthew Forster. Mr. Milan Gibson read the memorial, which set forth the iaconvenienee and loss suffered by the long pending disputes between the states of the River Flats, and urged the governmezt to take such steps as might be proper to bring about the restoration of peace. Lord Palmerston was very frank in his communications with the deputation. The first attempt at an arrangement through the negotiation of Lord liewdea failed, because Rona, the President or Dictate? of Buenos Apes, refused to commit to the free navigation of the riven which empty themselves into the River Plate. Another attempt was made by e. ptain Gore, who was sent of t specially to co operate with M. Le Gros, the French envoy, and the efforts of these gentlemen seemed to promise success for a time. Oribe, who was d of the country out side the city of Monte bieo, had consented to certain conditions, and the Monte Videans who had poestesion of the city, and who are carrying on the war with him, were also on the point of consenting to a peace, when the newt of the French revolution arrived and indueod them to break off negotiations in the belief that the republic would give them more decided assistance than Guizot had been willing to render them. The news of the revolu' . ion also had its effect on ROOM. lie refused to treat with Le Urns, on the ground that u a new government, or no g vernment at ell existed in France, the acts of eta envoy might not be sanctioned ; and Captein Gore I also thought it best to wait till further instructions came from France. The neat packet brought no instructions to Le Oros, whereupon that gentleman returned to France. Captain Gore remains at Monte Video, but negotiations are suspended, until the French government decide upon the course it will take. Lod Palizient n informed the donuts that he would communicate with M. de Beaumont, the French minister in London, on the subject, and he h 'per! the two government', between whom the most cordial rott ing waisted, would be able to ni.ite in some more successful eft urt to bring about a termination of hostilities on the banks of the River Plate. •••-• - A DEPUTATION from the Associate Institution for Improving and Enlorcing the Laws for the Protection of Women had (soya a correspondent) an lateral., ei yea rday with the Bishop of Oxford, on the subject of the bill for the pedccion of w.men, which his lordship has (imed to re introduce into the House of Lords in toe early part of the next session. 111 E ENGINEMEN AND THEIR EMPLOYERS.- SET TLEMENT OF THY. bIiPETS WITH THE ENOINEMEN.—It is now positively atatcd that this dispute has been finally set tied, by the entire submiuion of the men ti the honour and good feeling of Mr. Glyn, M.P,, the chairmen of the com pany, whose literality and kin.lness to the officers of the es tablishment, since he has presided over it, have often been' mentioned. Forty-six of the old firemen and enginemen beiongin7 to the Leirlon end of tire lit.e were to resume their duties yesterday. Some of the new drivers are to be retained in the service of the company. THE SALE AT STOWE yesterday consisted ertirely of furniture; the only lots worthy of notice bring 817, a table, the slab of malachite; in the centre is a burr hunt in mosaic of the fined Homan work, with a border of masks, tbyrai, and virus, also in morale, 38 in. be 27 in., on a ritis'y carved stand, 130 guineas; and BN, a beautiful vale, formed of a noble block of rock chews' of compressed ()einem, deeply engraved with arabesques in tine old Italian taste, 40 guineas. FATAL EXPLOSION ON BOARD THE STEAM-SHIP EAILL or LIVEItrOOL.—An accident involving loss of life happened on S iturday night last on board tho General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Earl of Liverpool, Cap - . Finch master, soon . fter she had taken her departure from Yarmouth for London. She left the quay of the above port a few minutes atter eight o'clock on the eveni- g in question, with from 70 to 100 passengers on board. The steam' r progressed at the emus' rate until distant nine miles from Yarmouth, and nearly 'thereat of Lowestoft harbour, when a loud exploeion took piece which completely shook the vessel, and at the same instant a body of cream issued from the engine.room, enveloping the whole vessel. Sere 11114 soil cries now arose. Fur upwards of a quarter of an hour the terrifies' passengers continued in a painful state of excitement. It was impossible to see the length of the ship, in consequence of the rush of steam from the engine-room, and the men being unable to see each other c , uhf only shay the captain's or ders by being hailed, thus rendering the dismay and c nfu• lion, if possible, more complete. Au quickly as the com mand could be carried cue, the, anchor aas let go, and the steamer brought to; signals of distress also being hoisted at the mast head for assistance,wbich,incourse of Vme,hrought / off a number of boats from Lowestoft. In V. • meardirna seer ral attempts were made to descend into the engine-room, to .ceure the safety of the boilers and the lives of the passen gers, but this was found to be impracticable ter a length of time. At last, the engineer, Edwin, was lowered by a rope • secured round Lis waist, and succeeded in affecting their se curity, although in the attempt he risked his life. In the course if half an hour aftfe the explosion, two of the crew. viz., Wilhelm Walls, a stoker, and Henry Drigg, carpenter, were ascertained to be missing. They were afterwards found scolded to death nett the engine, and it was discovered that , the explosion *ruse from the breaking of the steam pipe. The r Hull Lott, the Waterwitch, subsequently took the dint...eel veosel in tow, and brought her sahly to the The . es. The r bodies of the sufferers were lauded at Deptford, where an in ? queat was hell upon them last night, and a verdict of " Ac cadental death "returned. _ • INQUEST, YESTEnDAY,—DEATTI FROM ENGLISH CuoLzita.—Before Mr. &druid, by whom nnaent from Friday, at the Prince Alpert, Upper St. Martiu'adane, on the body of Catherine Price, aged 26, a ;errant out of place, who, it was supposed, died from poison.—The deceased, it appeared, resided in Porter street, Newport•msrket, and was in Food health up to yesterday week, when, being seized with violent sickness and pain in the stomach, it was thought that she bad taken poison. The next morning she was found dead in bed. Mr. done., surgeon, opened the body and tested the contents of the stomach, but found nothing of a deleterious nature. From the symptoms during lite and the app,srances after death he had no doubt the de ceased died from English cholera.—The Coroner said an opinion had been expresstd that it would be best not to state that the deceased died from cholera, for fear of alarming people living iu the neighbourhood. lie, on the contrary, thought the fact cold not be too widely known, is order that the public might take proper precaution by attending to the ventilation and cleanliness of their dareliings.—Verdict, " Died from EnFli.h cholera." COMMERCIAL. DISTRESS.—ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN FROM BIRMINGHAM. Yesterday a public meeting, .convened by the Re form League, was held in the Town-hall at Birmingham, for the purpose of atopting an address to the Queen, pray ing that parliament may nut be prorogued until mea•ures have been adopted such u will mitigate the calamities arising out of the present commercial distress in the coun try. Mr. Alderman Weston pr.vided, and from three to four thousand persons were present. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, alluded to the fact of Mr. Hume's motion having teen lost by a large msjnrity in the House of Commons, thereby proclaiming that it deemed itself fully competent to manage the affairs of the empire ; and thereafter he went on to state that this meeting had been calved because it was believed that the crisis had become most alarming, so much so as to render it necessary that the people should adopt suck mea sures as were calculated to awak , n the government to a sense of the danger that threatened the entire community. The condition of the empire at the present time presented a mat extraordinary spectacle it was a fact that nearly every in terest in this great commercial country was withering and decaying. Such as were workmen amongst them knew that work was not to be obtained; manufacturers knew that com petition was great, prices mush too low, and orders gradually decreasing ; merchant, had experienced, during the last 12. months, toe most terrible vicissitudes of fortune ; the oldest and most respectable establishments had fallen t numbers of others w. re on the way to inevitable ruin, and all this calamity and suffering was the result of an error in our monetary system, which the vi ry sufferers would not unite to sweep away. With all the power of the country; with all its vast possessions which extended to every quarter of the globe ; with all the energy, the enterprise, and the skill, which were I the chi.. acteristics of the people of Great Britain ; with all the elements of prosperity within our reach—our canal*, our machinery, our railroads, and every appliance that the art of man could devise, with the most extravagant and reckless government on the face of the earth, there was a great NI.- tion of the people with broken hearts and broken fortun , e, and their families going sunperless to bed 'Ruin was staring them in the face on every side—the manufacturer, the mer client, the retail trader, the landowner, the artisan. In this emergency, it behoved the people to unite for their own pro. 1 tection, holding fast to the principle of peace until the tat I extremity, hut with the same c urge, pi..dence, and firm resolve that had on former occasions marked their conduct, insisting on the government doing something for their relief. Mr. R. K. DOUGLAS moved the following resolution: That the almost total suppression of our European trade, the de crease of our trade with the New World, the bankrupt condition of our colonies, the gene-al decay of credit and confidence, and the growing increase of local and national burdens, call for immediate hr nip Mr. a N ' V d .V. L ASIITORD briefly seconded the adoption of the resolution, which wascarried unanimously. Mr. T. C. Seer said that the apathy which existed in the public mind was most strange sad incomprehensible. Here was the bulk of a whole nation ruined and ground to the earth by misgovernment, yet no man lent a hand to save. Theirs was no theory of liberty, but a purpose to de. vise means by which the hungry should be fed and the naked clothed. There was no fiction so incredible as the facts now presented to every man's view with reference to the condition of this country : here was the greatest empire ever known in the world—la power extended in some way or other over the entire surface of the earth, from pole to pole, the East and West Indies and all their wealth were ours— the people were unequalled for their ooura..e—their indomi table perseverance and their industry—and with all that, the poverty and distress into which four-fifths of this mighey nation were plung,d, were almost unparalleled. Mr. Salt concluded by moving the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. J. Batson, and carried unanimously ; That the apprehended failure of the potato crop, and short coming of the grain crop, threaten, in consequence of the exportation of gold to which they will necessarily lead, still farther to cripple the national resources; and while they enhance the price of food, to diminish r the same time the price of the labour by which that food is to he purchassl. Mn. R. Sung briefly moved, and Mr. Lowe seconded, the following, which was also carried : That in a crisis so extraordinary when so many and so great diffi culties beset us. and with difficulties still greater in prospect, it is of the greatest importance that parliament should not be adjourned or prorogue d. The following memorial to her Majesty, and petition to the House of Commons, were afterwards adopted : "To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.—The humble address of the members of tie Birmingham Reform League, and other inhabitants of the borough of Birming ham, in public meeting assembled. " May it please your Majesty, we your Msjesty'a mot humble and devoted subjects beg leave to approach your Majesty's presence to represent to your Majesty that the distress under which the commerce and trade of this great town end of rte kingdom at large at present suffers, and has been for many months suffering is great and increasing. That it appears now to be established beyond dispute that the failure of the potato crop in Ireland and in England is as extensive at the least as in the disastrous autumn of 1846; and there is every reason to believe that the grain crop also is much below an average, while the chances of its being securely gathered in are as yet extremely uncertain. That the evil, which in the order of Providence have fallen upon us as well as thou which we derive from the ignorance of men are grievously aggravated by the beggared conditions of our colonies, by the continued unsettled state of the continent of Europe., and by the insurrectionary move ments in Ireland, the two last calling for an increased expenditure in support of our national institutions, with means which are already greatly decreased, and in rapid progress towards a further diminutior. That a eombieetion of misfortunes so formidable and extraordinary demands the adoption of immediate and extraordinary remedies. That without presuming to dictate to your Mersey the nature or extent of such remedies we most respectfully submit to your Majesty the imperative necessity at so pt riloe a crisis that the treat coeval of the nation should be in a state of con stant readiness to consider whatem r measures your NI jest,, by your legal advisers, shall see fit to submit to It. 's We therefore most humbly intreat your Majesty not to prorogue parliament until your Majesty and peril:meet shit: have revised and adopted effectual means of reaevi, g ~be existing desires., anti of meeting in some degree, if nut wholly averting, the terrible state of guttering whirls the coming winter threat. nu too surely to inflict." THB PETITION to the House of Commas urged: Tete in consequence of the late revolutionary movements on the e acne of Eurepe, the war in Italy, the hostilities in the notch of Germany, and the generally unsettled state of these kingdoms where no actual outbreak has t•ken Chace, the Eurepeen commerce of the United Kingdom has been for a time suspended, the vent foritsmanafacturera,tw farae the old world is co scented, cut off, and credit very seriously damag ed: That in the new world, the war just cane:rated between the United States and Mexico has reduced hi no sm.:, ei. gime the power of rurch toe in the forme r. and ele it:toyed it in the latter ; that the continued disputes in the countries b treler ing on the lever Plato have fee a long time interrupted all beneficial intercourse; and that the kingdom of the Brazile, to:loving the example riven to it by England, has by its restrictive policy destroyed in a greet measure the valuable traffic formerly carrit d on with that country. That while our foreign commerce is thus prostrate and perishing, our colonial commerce is squally a fritterer from the beggars d and hankru • t elate of the West and East Indies tied of twenty the entire of our colonial peseessions. That at home the insurrectionary risings in ',eland, and the want of confidence that has for many months prevailed, have resulted in a depreciation of capital of all kinds, without modern parallel; that the number of workmen partially etaployeil, or wholly idle, is gnat and increasing ; that the pressure of local rates is unexampled ; that the national btu dens from the fears engendered by aperehended wars and domestic bristle are not reluced, but exhieit every prospected' luerease; that thus, while the nation is tottering entice the weakness of rubeistence denied, the load it is compelled to carry is doily being added to ; and that fetich, it net all, of these evils have been a consequence of the general policy pursued by successive governments, and might, if not wholly prevented, have been greatly mitigated by a more prudent and conciliatory system. That, as a crowning of the evils that press upon the land, it appears now et lonrth to lie established beyond dispute that the potato crop is Iceland and in Eaglatd has foiled to an equal, if not ;rear'', event than it did in the disastrous autumn of 1316, and that the tenet of grain and /unite are everywhere below an average, while the cha: ces of Veit being wourely garlrred are still d-übtlel. That, granting, as your petitioners do, that the centre' which parliament can exercise ever foreign treelike is not great, end that the in filetions of providence are beyond its power, there mill rennin fur care and cure the distresses of the he me and colonial markets; nor can it be reasonably die-teed, as it appears to your petitioners, that at borne and its the co tellies, populous, extensive, and diversified as they ate beyond ail bistor.cal example, there ares"clenteets of wealth stfficieat, it wisely and vigorously called into action, to render easy the task of finding employment and comfort for the whole population of the empire. That it their selec tion of F.) large a number of persons let their repre sentatives fram clashes where the possession of higeer wisdom zed more t xteuaive informative is ticatuatily implied, anti by teat selectirn investing them with UV'S( awele powers, the constituency of the United Kingdom have as tar as in them lies provided a fitting machinery for the production of an orderly, peaceful, and happy government, and any failure in the preduction of suck a government can only ::rise from its ieecrset or vicious working. 'I hid in all ea es, and more cup via ly end. r a re presen.etive system, the people have a 71.11: to deaand of their rulers that th, y take heed that no grit v.ines be allowed to exist whose removal is within the scope of legislative regulation ; and that it is no excuse for the neglect of this highest duty that the removal mey Iw difficult is the desiring or executing; and above all that a tetrad. by the legislature to enter on an investigation of the ,oenne of removal on any preetnee, and especially •n the pretence .bat it would lengthen the duration or add to the amount of their parliamentary labeurs, would be without excuse on any principle of reason or humanity.. That your }Kei -1 tiouers would further respiettully submit to your homier ' able house, that in the choice of a remedy far the present distresses as the disease is unprecedented in severity and ex traordinary in its causes, so ought tie remedy to be no ordi nary one; and that it sin be no vintlicition to prudent and nett, cting men of the present time roe to an impartial pose tcrity, of your refusal to adopt such a remedy, that it may in appearance be opposed to principles of political economy son to ten e rules of covernment which have been laid dogs for the regulation of customary demands and a mmonplace accidents. Lastly, your petitioners would des're. most ear nestly and solemnly to impress on your honourable house that in all cases like that which th, y have now brought un der yoir notice, the demands of pcgiey aro not less impaa tire than those o justice, for they believe it will be universally admitted that al hough tor the revolutions amenenit our neighbours, and the dis turbances amongst ourselves, many ca -see, aed sonic of' them grave ones. appear on the surface, that which gives point and power abroad and at home to all the rest is the play t.eol suffer.ng of the mass of the people, anl that ngsite., tt.e pr imptings of such suer, rings, it inde finitely prolonged, no laws, however wise, no inntitutirns, however sacred, to government, however strong, eat effec tually contend. May it therefore please your honourable house to address her Majesty that she will be graciously pleated not to pro regue your honourable hones until you have provided some measure or measures for removing the present diereas as well as that which tereatens the nation from the feilure of the potato crop, and otherwise grant such relief in the pre mises as to your honourable house may teem tit; and your •"loners, THE NEW FOREST. It rota a local Corrrepondente " Government has resolved that the New Forest sk all be disafforested." Such is the statement which is in almost every one's mouth who resides on or near that exten sive and notertuus dem ern. Whether anythicg has leaked from a government ollicied, or whether such a statement is merely the natural opinion of persons who know what frauds have been committed on the royal property, it not worth while to inquire. Such a determination on the part of the government is not impr,bable, considering the evils arising from forest laws, and the utter uselessness of the New Forest, even as contributing to the "barbaric. pomp of royalty." This forest has beta almost shonned by royal personages ever sines the death of Rufus. Charles 11. and George 111. visieet it, certainly; but, with the exception of these monarchs, no kanely personages have ever thought much of that favourite hunting-seat of the Mermen kings. Even Davis, the Qacers's huntsman, curses the forest every time he enters it, and declares it unwor.hy the matchless speed and inapirine music of the royal hounds. No one is jet( rested in the preservation of the New Forest but the lawless foresters and borderers, and the gentlemen who have seats in it. The former evidently claim • right to the t: mber, and the latter pusses, extraordinary privilege, over the pasture. A general sentiment seems to prevail that as the widest kings took possession tat the forest by violence, the descendants of the orieinal occupants have sot lost their title to its produce. This mutiment seems to have blunted tie moral genie of the forest popula tion as to other rights of royalty, fur, when a raxeia wan made a few months leo by the costem-h iuse (dike:roue the ducal residence vi Glasshayes, near Lyndhurst, it woe witucesed without air ime and without indignation. Mr. Dinka nth, of Beechwood, in the heart of the forest, has attempted to improve the population by the eeta'olish- Trent and lavish endowment of schools, and Mr. Mark Phillips, Mr. Justice Coltmac, and other benevolent and distinguished gentlemen, who enjoy the hoepitality 0: Beech wood, have assisted him in his endeavours ; but the popula tion generally, both in the forest and OA tho borders, are greatly inferior to the population of other pats of the Country. And this has always been the case. Every one knows the deplorable picture which Bernard Gilpin, in one of his works, gave of the lower classes of Lyuuagtou. As for Beaulieu, this is one of the p'aces where the element story is told of the poor benighted iehabitante attemp . iug to hedge in the cuckoo, thiaking by that means to enjoy nerpetual summer. The prople are scarcely dead in this place who were believers in, and wor.hippers el, the cat heated Beaulieu witch, Mary Dore, and reverenced the power by which she could transform herself into the shapes of inferior animals while engaged in the n.farious occupation of wood stealing. The second Duke of Montague (the proprietor of Beaulieu Abbey) was a firm believer in the .upernatural endowments of Mary D see, and erected a monument to her memory. But the kids of Beaulieu Abbey, whatever favour they may have abeam to witches, have not always been distinguished for kindness to others, for not =mg veers ado tne last Lad Montague was exposed in the London papers for per meating and ruining a poor Beaulieu widow because she I moat to a drew ntiog chapel. ' But should any one desire to see a forest population mise rably deformed, as fax as their mental structure is concerned, he should go into the neighbourhood of Cadlands, on the eastern side of the forest. These must be the veritable de scendants of the Seem serfs who were mast oppressed by their lineman taskmasters, as their "cowed" appearance, and the absence of all independence and eujoynacut, eeere to testify. IRELAND. DUBLIN ArG. 22 . The special commission will, it is definitively set tied, be issued towards the conclusion of the present week, and will open:very early . in the next, in the town of Nenagh. Thus the parties who moved the recent insurrection will be tried eafficiently near to the neighbourhood of the outbreak to produce a salu tary effect, while it will be sufficiently remote from the scene for calm and deliberate consideration. The com mission having been opened, and the bills .0 indict ment sent before the grand inquest, and fouled, as no doubt they will be, the court will be adjourned, after the arraignment of the accused, for fiftseu days, Rathe law enjoins that in all cases of high treason. the' accused shall have that space of time Co psepsirts tar defence. On the re-assembling of the courkTosserials wli at once proceed. It is said that the executive obtain day fresh evidences:of the extent to which the ramifications of
