NORWICH, July 16.-Our market was fairly supplied with Wheat today, and, from the tendency of the fine wea ther in the past week to depress the market, it was expected that easier terms of 2 s. per qr. far the buyers would have been acceded to, but the farmers demanded the same rates, end prices can only be called Is. per qr. lower. Some ears of Wheat, of fine quality, were shown, which would be ready for the sickle in a week, and we expect a general oornmence moot on Monday fortnight. Flour gave way 6d. in price, and some larger parcels changed 4euds at that reduction. The Bailer trade is over, and scarcely a sample shown. The same may be said with respect to Oats.

SAFFION WALDEN, July 15.-Wheat Is. nee qr. cheaper, with dull sale. In other articles nothing particular to notice. SVNDERLAND, July 15.-The weather is moat brilliant, and the crops ere ileuriehing beautifully. The farmers are in the midst of hay-massing, and grass is more plentiful than WAS expected. We have had no arrivals of grain coastwise during the week, tut there was a tolerable supply of Wheat from the farmers at market to-day, which met with a slack demand, and prices were a shade lower. The beet Wheats are worth 501. to 51+. ; good average parcels, 481. to 490 ; and inferior sorts, 445. to 165. Fresh south-country Wheat' are in demand, but nothing but the finest qualities will be looked at. Oats, et 20s. to 225., are good sale. Grinding Barley, at 275. to 294., is in more demand. Beans are dull sale, and ;rims rather lower. The demand for fresh Flour continues very brisk, without any change in prices. WARMINSTER, July 15. - The supplies today were limited, and the demand of slow character, with no inclina tion to advance th terms of last mnrket, at which Wheat was disposed of. The e out-ofmmelition qualities of Barley and Oats may be quoted lower, but few sales were made at the decline in price.

Some superior beery Wheat was offered at 121. 15s. per load of 5 qrs. ; sales made at 12/. 104.; the ordinary kinds ruled at 101. 10s. per load. In Barley, the figures may be noted at from 28.. to 335. rer qr. The best Poland Oats saleable at 21s. per qr., but secondary qualities reached only 190.

Weatrer 11.1 tine as possible. YORK, July 15 -We are fairly supplied with Wheat at this day's market, and, in consequence of the very favour able weather, the millers have boueht cautiously, at about Is. per quarter below last week's prices. In other articles no alteration. Tbe last week has been very hot and fine, and the hay harvest is progressing very fast. Prices; Wheat, white, 50.. to 535. per imp. qr.; red, 465. to Ds.

BELFAST, July 14.-As usual at this season, we have small supp'ees of grain at our stock market, and, as the quantity in the hands of dealers is unusually light, wo have but little passing in the trade. Wheat maintains its value, and is in good demand; parcels of really prime, or, on the other hand, of bad qualities are warded, whilst medium lots are nut much in demand. Flour is in good demon!, and prices are well maintained by all parties, whilst some decline selling at pre ser.t prices. Barley nominally supports prices. Oats are in demand f..r feeding, and the price gradually im proves. Oatmeal has nearly recoveted the d cline noted on last Friday, 5d., and • dull sale. Indian Corn has Income scarce in this maiket, and last week's prices are new readily obtained, say 81. 2.. 6 , 1. to 81. 7s. 6d. for yellow, and about be. per ton lets for white. Cottx, July In.-The weather bas become magnificently fine. Potatoes come to our market in considering the earliness of the season-abundant supply; the price has given way, and they are Dow to be had of excellent quality (the few days of hot yea her having rendered them much drier) at 10a., to Is. per weight of 211 b. This fact, coupled with the few foreign arrivals noticed last week, and some additional ones since, has produced a slight depression in the trade in Indian Corn, and, though prices have not given way very materialy, yet the business doing is merely in re tail and the market for the article is quiet. The Wheat market remains without any change, the few wimples arriving finding buyers at last week's rates. In prepared Wheat we have little doing. W•' quote is value 28s. to 295. per barrel. Barley, the supply of which is insignificant, commands late prices. Oats are, of the two, the turn cheaper. In prepared oats the business patislne is so trifling, that prices are almost nominal. We quote the free on-board rates, lls. 3d. to 11s. 61. The immense arrivals of for.ign emu into London during the lost few weeks hes a very depressine effect upon the value of the home-grown article. The flour trade this week is quiet, and without alteration in prices. The Rue weather has affected the trade In Indian corn, and the business doing is confined altogether to toe supple of immediate wants; but stocks of the article being greatly reduced, needy purchasers are compelled to pay more money. We quote the extreme value me of the article,, 81. 17s. 61. to 9!. '24. 62. per ton. al in slow request. LIMERICK, July 15.-The weather has now taken up, and we have it fine and sunny ' • all crops look well, and po tatoes come freely to market. The price is moderate. The supply of Indian Corn is small, in enneequenee of no ar rivals. The demand, however, is not brisk; only a retail trade in Indian Meal. Current prices of grain: Wheat, white, 13 1 1. per stone; red, Intl. Oats, 11d. Oahu Indian Corn. 101. per ton ; Thrall, 91. 15s. to 91 17s. 64. American, yellow, 91. 154. ; white, 91. 153. Indian Meal, 101. to 101 Ss. per ton. Flour, Irish, 325. per bag. WATERFORD, July 15.-The show of farmers' Wheat during the week has Is ein scanty in the extreme, and prices have underzone no change since Saturday last; but pre. pared parcels can be pure hated at a reduction of 3d. to 61. per barrel. Barley remains unaltered in value. The quan tity of Oats on offer has rather increased this week; but holder. refusing to give way in privet, few transactions have taken place. Considerable purchases of Indian Corn were mode yesterday for the interior, at the currency of last week, and as stocks are now much reduced, higher prices dat a areed for. Flour, ol the best quality, has been a free sale an improvement of 3d. to 61 per sack on the rates of this day se'nnieht, but in the value of inferior sorts no change has taken place.

The burr ia fast showing, and most promising does it appear; healthy, strong, and fine coloured—no mildew, blight, or insect as yet to be discerned. WOOL.—LONDON. —There has been an increased attendance of buyers at the public sales and the low prices at which Colonial Wool is selling has caused purchasers to come forward more freely, and in many iastances the greatest part of the decline noticed previously has been recovered. Mer chants have withdrawn a fair quantity, and hold for better p r ices, and buyers seem to be of the same opi nion. No change has taken place in foreign. Arrivals this week are 3.458 bales colonial, 611 bales foreign. English remains the same as last noticed. BRADFORD.—The transactions in combing wool rre more than for some weeks pelt. The impression is, that prices have seen their lowest point Leans.—ln the English market there has been a rather I better feeli this week, thou gh there has not been an ma terial i n cre ase in the amount of sales of weol. In price y swe do not quote any alteration. LEICESTEIL—There is no alteration in the price of wool, but there is more doing , and the prevailing ;opinion is, that priors are not likely to be lower.. LiVEISPOOL.—More business has been done in foreign Wool this week, and altogether matters are beginning to assume a more cheering aspect. There is no change in prices ; but, if anything, they are more firm. Several sales of black Alpaca have been made, but at prices below previous rates. Scotch has been in limited request, and there is not likely to be much mere doing till tne result of the fairs is known. Imports for the week ending July 16: Foreign, 1,829 bales ; previously, 41,2 69 96 ; total, 43,1 25 . Scotch , 264 ; previol sly, 7,427 ; total, 7,1. FIFII.—At the annual fair there was a good attendance, and several dealers, chiefly from the west country, were present. The current price for half-bred was 18s. the stone ; Cheviot a little higher in proportion. IC nefoo.—At the annual fair on Friday, the 14th instant, there was a good attendance of buyers, and, though the holders were rather slow to accept of the terms offered, still we understand a good deal of business was done in the after. noon. The prices were from 4s. to ss. per atone below those of last year, sad as near as may be to of Durum fair. Bred Wool, all hog, sold at from 19s. to 20s. ; half hog and ewe, or nearly so, 18.. to 18s. Gd. IrivERNESS WOOL MARKET. —Yesterday and to-day, very little business has been done at the Wool fair at Inver. boss. There was a goodly number of sellers, but the buyers are not so rife. However to-morrow is the principal day for doing business. We fear the prices of Sheep and Lambs will scarcely be meintained, while the fleece will be much below lest year in price, and the purchu.s will be insignificant —.-- CATTLE, Bc.—S3IITIIFIKLD, Two o'Clock.—We are well supplied with Beasts for the time of year; trade is steady at about Friday's prices. The number of Sheep and Limbs is not large, yet it is quite equal to the demand. Buyers do not purchase readily ; however, prices can scarcely b t quoted lower. Calves are not so plentiful ; they are sold freely, at rather more h oney. Pigs are a dull sale; owing to the hot weather. From Holland, there are about 200 Bente. 1,620 Sheep, and 124 Calves ; and 200 Beasts from Scotland. Per atone of 81ha a. .1. a. d. Par stow, of 81tri. P. 0. a it. Best Scow.

Best ox Beef realised 50s. per cwt. ; second quality, from 425. 6d. to 475., sinking the offals. In Sheep a fill of 2s. ahead may be quoted from loot week's prices; best aged wethers barely realising 6d. per lb. ; middliug and inferior, from 41d. to did., sinking the offal,.

A large number of Irish heifers were shown, but little business was done with them. KELSO MONTHLY llfklikar.—'the supply of tat cattle, though considerably less than for some markets previous, was more than adequate to the demand. Sales wire conse quently dull, and several lota were driven off untold. The prices obtained ranged from ss. 6d. to 64. per stone, sinking offal. There were a few young beasts shown, chiefly from Ireland, but in these so little business was done that we are unable to give quotations. Cows were in little request, and a fees only ischenged owners. The show of Sheep was con siderable for the advanced period of the season and though sales were slow, nearly the whole were disposed of at from 51d. to Gd. per lb. There was a lot of thre parts bred Lambs in the market, which sold at 21s. For Saturday's markets fey last rays. ELECTION COMMITTEE.—SATIIRDAY.

On hill-side and in valley the martial tread and insulting shout has of late been heard. The truce prescribed by law is broken, and ' the catholic is once again compelled to listen to the hereditary chorus of conquest and the traditional boast of triumphant violence and confiscation. " Aughrim " and the " Boyne " are the watchwords still ; and hopes of future domination and of a regained ascendancy are cherished by the memories of the good old times, when " none but the right sort " dare call their lives or property their own. We should not attach so much importance to the manifestations of this feeling in certain parts of Ire land but for the twofold causes which obvicusly con tribute to its resuscitation. Of these the foremost and most lamentable is palpably the frantic course pur sued by the leaders of the ultra-repeal party. Though little imbued, as is said, by the devotional sentiments of catholicism, these reckless and mischievous men, being nominal Catholics, almost without exception, have been false-prophesying a state of things, and urging the multitude to attempt its realisation, in which no other guarantee for religious toleration could possibly exist than such as must depend upon the free and generous good will of a catholic majority. Repeal, if it were atta i nable, would inevitably destroy every remnant of that protestant ascendancy which has been of recent years co much curtailed of its ori ginal proportions. One after another the minor per quisites of sectarian monopoly have been taken away; but the great preserve remains but little encroached upon. The church of the few atill holds out to the THE - EXPRESS, MONDAY few, exclusive beisefits and boons at the cost of the whole community. Repeal to the catholic clergy means ecclesiastical equality. The Orangemen of Ulster know and understand this well ; and hence, when they hear it openly proclaimed that repeal is to be carried, if need be, by force of arms,—nay more, when by dint of loud and loose assertion the revolutionary party strive to make the world believe that the Orangemen are actually become their allies and par tisans—it is but too natural that tLe latter should at length be provoked into a resumption of their ancient array and the reorganisation of their ancient discipline. Other influence., however, seem actively at work to stimulate the dormant spirit of religious faction. The aristocratic chiefs who, for a season, hoped to attain, through the instrumentality of plausible con servatism, all those objects of class ambition or per sonal aggrandisement which they had formerly sought by means of Orangeism—the ENNISKILLENS, DOWNSIIIRES, VERNERS, and the rest, have lately begun to display symptoms of an altered tone of policy, and a disposition to return to the folly of their ancestors. On every occasion they are ready to urge on government to measures of severity, which, if adopted, must infallibly tend to render a liberal lexecutive unpopular. and thus contribute potently to I the dislocation and distinction of a liberal party, and I which if refused will give these worthies a pretext for declaring, in the approved phrase, that it is neces cary for them " to defend themselves." We have read with regret a letter recently addressed to the Orange lodges of the county of Down, by the Earl of Annex. The personal estimation in which he is held, and his exemption from all suspicion of the baser motives that actuate mere party men, I render ill advice, when given by his lordship, all the more mischievous, and fill the minds of those who wish for peace and tranquillity in Ireland with the greater despondency. net madmen or bad men should desire the perpetuation of invidious distinc tions and he permanent severance of sects, we can, understand and account for. But Lord Rouen is, neither a madman nor a bad man; and when, there- fore, we find him deliberately and zealously advocat ing such a system, we must fairly own that we consi der it in every way most deplorable. Still more do we think such a course calculated to prove per nicious, when we find—conjoined with regrets for ca tholic emancipation, and incentives to undying severance of protestants from the great bulk of their fellow-countrymen—laudations of Lord CLA RENDON, and protestations of unbounded confidence in his administration ; a s if the QUEEN'S represents-i hive in Ireland could be aided is the discharge of his perilous and perplexing duties by the ruinous praise that is offered, intertwined with vows of social enmity and religious feud ! Lord Rotten expresses his personal regret that the Orange lodges of Down should not have found it con venient U assemble on the 12th July in his de mesne, in order that he might have the opportu nity of inspecting them. The 12th July is the anniversary of the sanguinary conflict of the Boyne; and its commemoration is in itself a hateful and hated act of paltry triumph, by men nineteen-twen tieths of whom have not even the pretext of descent I from the soldiery of SCHOM BERG, for their insulting parade in honour of a battle won one hundred and sixty years ago. As an hereditary symbol of civil strife, and a memorial of brethren by brothers slain, it is odious and immoral thus to keep the day. But, looking to the future settlement and progress of the country, it is an act of strange infatuation and con summate folly. In vain can any substantial change be wrought in the moral or material condition of the community, while the minority are insane enough to parade ostentatiously their numerical strength—or weakness—in armed array. Unfortunately, Lord ItoneN does not leave as in any doubt as to his foresight and forethought in the matter. He weighs the consequences and counts the cost. Ile ascribes whatever strength Oran geism still preserves to the exclusive favour which the state once manifested towards its adherents, and to the ex clusive principles and feelings which characterised their conduct. Ile congratulates them upon having kept themselves apart and aloo from all intermixture with those around them who profess another faith, and admonishes them by their hope for the continu ance of the special protection of GOD, to preserve their race as a " distinct people!" Comment on such doctrines would from us be idle; as idle would be the expression of regret if we be lieved that any large portion of the protestants of Ireland could be led away by them. We hope better things, and we know that our hope is not unfounded, or in vain. But surely it no other voice can startle the equally fanatic propagandist+ of revolution in Ireland, this sad response, or rather bitter mockery of their call upon the Orangemen to fraternise with them, ought to disenchant and undeceive them. Tins is no time to raise a panic at the aggrani.- ments of Russia. That power is, after all, a principle, the principle of despotism. By means of that it ex te ids and holds together its vast empire, and the more it succeeds in extending that empire, the weaker an 1 more insufficient does the despotic principle be come to content by good government so many, so re mote, and such various races ; and the more inevitable does it appear, that with the relaxation of despotism tt a future day, the empire Welt' must crumble. Moreover, until of very late years, the balance of European power has been kept up by certain territorial divisions, and by the ponderation of the quantities of possessions and revenues between different families. I The balance of power in the pn sent epoch is not so mach to be measured by the prevalence of certain &mites as by that of certain principles. From 1816 to 1836, *lie might say, that Russia and England were struggling for influence. It is now evidently more true to say that the despotic and constitutional prin ciples have been struggling, and that the latter has defeated the former,and driven it back across the whole breadth of Europe from the western limit of the conti nent to well nigh the eastern. Russia may have actually gained in that time in territory, population and wealth. But how much has the principle contrary to her empire been augmented ? Six months ago we were struggling to ke:p alive constitutional govern ment and prospects in Spain. It was in that corner of Europe that the battle of political principle was fought. Now we all turn away from Spain with indifference and concentrate attention and interest on the Adige, the Danube, and the Spree. There is no need therefore of alarm, because Russia is sending her legions across the Pruth. Long since have the Danubian provinces been virtually transferred from Turkish to Russian suzerainty, the treaty of Bucharest, and the conventions of Ackerman giving Russia but too clear a right to interfere. And in:countries so little developed, who can say that this very interference is not often salutary, to protect the people from the oppression of the bovards, and the mal-administration of the Prince ? Who will deny that the expulsion of Prince GIIIKA by Russia was not a gain to the Wallachians ? At the present moment, who has any hopes in a Molda vian republic, or would desire to see the events of Vienna and Prague repeated at Jassy and Bucharest? Not that we regret the revolutions of either Vienna or Berlin. They were more than called for, completely inevitable. The ter rible abuses and stupid systems, which thevput an end to, were not to be destroyed by any effort less violent, or any cost less great. There exists, moreover, the guarantee of intelligence, wealth, and other conserva tive elements to redeem those states from paralysis,withs out recurring to the leaden tyranny which produced it. But the Sclavonians are not in a position, nor do they enjoy a development, capable of allow ing them to imitate, with the hope of good results, the great revolution of the Germans. The establishment of freedom in central Europe, of constitutional government, and national unity in Germany and Italy, are achievements sufficient for the middle of the nineteenth century. To effect these in peace, or with as speedy peace as possible, and to avoid any intermingling of them with Sclavonian questions, we believe to be the best policy. Were it even demonstrated that a war must take place between the German and Russian empires, and it is not demonstrated—we should say, defer it to the farthest possible period. For, how ever war in Germany might call out public spirit, aid in producing national unity, and very poke* be attended with success, still it would give such predo minance to the militaryspirit, and to the powers which possess a military organisation, that the old despotic infLence, which it is the common object to shake off, would thus be powerfully reinforced. And the pur chase of even Polish independence by the sacrifice of the nascent liberties of Germany would fatally re card the regeneration of central Europe. It is impossible for the most enthusiastic Psaalatist, G, JULY 17, 1848• :::...--------------- withink, to hops for the complete union of all the members of the race. To combine Dansie and War law with Jassy and Belgrade in one empire is prepos- I terms. Nor does it seem to be for any interest or ' Zitiothat Bohemia should be detached from its incor old con nexion with German y . to be poted in a new Sc lavonia empire. The re geraneration of Poland, and its recovery of Posen and Gallicia, is a fair object of hope. But the establish ment of a south Sclavonic empire, independent alike of Russia and of Austria, is not realisable, or perhaps silesimble in this age. There exists, however, a great wares of strength, and a great guarantee for being well treated in the immense extension of tt e Sclavonic family. For there must prevail a certain degree of sympathy between all, and the empire which roles them most successfully end liberally will I surely bo looked to as the patron and the regenerator of the race. Whilst some are under Hungarian, some under Austrian rule, others arc under Prussian, or pure Russian, and others still, though under suze rainty, left to their own local management. Which ever system is found to be the fairest and best cannot but gain great force, whilst that which remains a rule of mere tyranny and oppression will excite feelings impossible to smother, and a race incapable of being ruled. However despotic tho government of Russia, it must be astute enon4h to feel this. Bayonets were all very well as the exclusive means of government, when the military empires of Austria and Prussia constituted the sole neighbours of Russia. Now aliberal government and a freo press must prevail more or less along the frontiers of the latter, and the Czar himself must have recourse to other modes of govern ment and measures of policy than monster reviews, übiquitous police, the knout, and Siberia. The war commenced, the most effective war, is one of insti tutions, of example, and of civilian rivalry. The setting on foot, and in motion, of armies, can but retard and obstruct those far more important and effective -,.quests. TUE Examiner levels an accusation against us of being an anti-Times journal. Why so limit the re proach? We are equally an anti-Murniny Chronicle, an anti-Examiner journal. We are a paper of pyo gress, that would strike out new paths, excite new cm pulses, and muster new friends to an onward movement. The Times and all the other papers, daily and weekly, are either for preserving the status qua, or for beating time to the old goose-step, which has not advanced an inch during the last sixteen years. The Times we look upon as the most able and most formidable champion of the state of things which exist, of aristocratic predominance in parliament and govern ment, of the prodigality and disorder which follow ' from the fact, of the financial paralysis which benumbs the country, and which so frustrates every effort towards' a true policy of any kind, domestic or colonial, that without reform we really can perceive no future for the country save absolute ruin. The Times is for bolstering up with sandbags and defending with fresh entrenchments the aristocratic and absolutist principle at home or abroad. From this principle flow with perfect consistency and unity all its efforts, all its arguments. We combat them all with equal zeal, but without rancour; and the Times combats us with no less point in not naming the new and the sole dissident from it in the press. The Examiner, however, with a total disregard of both fairness and facts, accuses our opinions as ori ginating solely in mere antagonism to the Times. Our advocacy of reform, it hints, is a mere counter move to Times hostility. Why, we brought forward the necessity of a new reform to be advocated by the middle classes as a substitute for the more dangerous effects of chartism, days and weeks b. fore the Times even hinted at the subject. We foreran, or at least echoed simultaneously both the efforts of Mr. liumE and the freetraders. Were they, too, it the opinion of the Extiminer,actuated solely by antagonism to the Times ? But after all we are by no means so diametrically opposed to the Thin , . That journal has frequently, though fitfully, admitted the expediency of reform. It joins the -Examiner in admitting the necessity of an extension of the franchise ; but it goes further than the Examiner, and admits, with the Erpresa, that there does exist great injustice in the present distri bution of electoral districts. This is a point which to our remembrance the Eraminer has nut touched upon at all, and which it therefore has decidedly " flung overboard." But why is the question of electoral districts so im portant to bring forward? And why did Mr. Ilusik insist on coupling it with the ballot and the extension of the suffrage ? First, from its intrinsic worth, for without it the other two would be comparatively inoperative; secondly, from the present system being a more gross injustice to the intelligent and middle class than even the denial of the ballot, or the limitation of the franchise ; and thirdly, because it enlisted new and great interests in the question of reform, all the great mercantile towns, all the recently developed and industrial counties, all the districts is which popular election would prevail over aristo cratic and landlord patronage. It is the question of electoral districts which makes the new movement a middle-class one. No man, no capitalist engaged in industrial occupations, can upon a moment's re flexion put up with a gross slur and disad vantage cast upon I him by allowing the three landlords of Buckinghamshire to have as mangy• votes in the House of Commons as South Lan cashire. And consequently the introduction of the equalisation of electoral districts into the fa'ciculus of reform measures, does no less than secure to the reform movement that immense mass of partisanship which carried corn-law repeal. In the face of such motives and aims as these, the Examiner in the press, and some members in parlia ment, affect to deprecate the introduction of such a question as inimical to reform, which was likely to fare better, if confined to the ballot and the extension of the franchise. The persons who cast such a re proach as this upon Mr. Hust F. must do so from either ignorance or from their being lukewarm reformers. What is the advantage of having some dozen votes more, or some dozen votes less, minority in the House of Commons? is it in .he house of Commons or in the country that the battle of reform is to be fought, to be lost, or to be wou? Clearly it is not in the House of Commons, which, un less the pressure of public opinion from without be brought to bear, will never pass one clause of reform more than another. The idea of carrying on the movement fur re'orm by a resuscitation of the old humdrum, annual motion for the ballot, upon which no orator could utter one new idea, is about as hopeless and preposterous as the hope that you can carry or advance any one question in :he House of Commons without the aid of what is called agitation. It would therefore have been the highest degree of folly in Mr. HOME to have brought in a measure of reform which was not simultaneously addressed to the country and to parliament. It would have been equal folly to have produced nothing more than the old common-place motions, which had already ac quired within and without the doors of parliament all the support that they could command, a support found utterly inadequate to keep the subject of them before either the country or the house. Go ask Mr. GaoTE how he fared with the ballot, and whether he would recommend Mr. COBDEN to set sail in so small and so feeble sailing an embarkation. In addition to such considerations as these, comes also the equally important one of the necessity of launching a lifeboat in thu political storm, of throwing out something to which the liberal but unfrenzied mind would cling at a moment when every revolutionary element has been let loose. We all know the prevalence of chartism. None admit it more fully than the tories, or truckled to it more basely. Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself admitted that the lower class movement was more mighty than the middle class one, and in more than one argument he leaned to Mr. FEARGUs O'CONNOR against Mr. HOME. However a Whig orator or a falsely liberal organ may indulge in such dangerous petty treason as this, it is not the less the duty of honest and thorough liberals to persist in their own efforts, made against the united opposition of the three aristocratic parties, and, we are sorry to add, against the more covert hostility of some who call themselves radicals, to carry oat such a measure of reform as will rally all the liberal middle class behind it, in order to the carrying it for the con tentment and improvement of the lower classes, and their admission within the pile of the constitution.

I The object is to transfer this quiet re volution from (life to legislation, and to deprive debt-incurring qualities of that respect in parliament which they have lost in shop and street. We trust at another general, election the disgraceful scenes which took place at Wallingford will not only not be tolerated, but not be legal. if a committee of the house can unseat for bribery, it can surely unseat for a delinquency so much more easily proved. It is time that hose hfiosend g p l o r o r y p e a r n g d ph im er p e u i n s it th y e lia Q s u t. ce s n te 's p l h le e n n t and that the new house of parliament should cease to be a sanctuary for insolvents. We have had gentlemen meddling with the nation's debts who ought to have begun with their own; impeachments of ministers from friends of Mr. SLOMAN ; and declamations against tyranny from individuals who were at the time condemning a poor tradesman to the slow and linger ing torture of payment " deferred." It is time that the House of Commons should consult its 1 dignity by repealing a law which exposes it to the imputatiou—doubly discreditable in a commer cial country—of protecting reckless and unprincipled persons, to the iejury of the honest, the industrious, and the poor. Mr. MOFFAT'S bill provides that, in the event of a judgment being obtained against auy member, the creditor may petition the house, and that such peti tion shall be referred to a committee to investigate the debt and decide whether the member ought to be disqualified. This is ono of those de cisively stringent measures that accomplish an object, and accomplish it at once. The dread of the shame of such a committee being held on a man's tailor's bill would operate as effectually as the more familiar fear of the bailiff, and save parliament from the presence of persons who aspire to benefit Europe. but forget what they owe in a pecuniary sense to their neighbour. There seemed an anxiety on the part of members to shrink from giving a decision on the principle of the measure. Sir GEORGE GREY affirmed that there were " formidable objections" to the bill. These must indeed be " formidable" since the hon. baronet seemed to have been afraid to bring them down in his head for the information of the house. His dictum, however, was sufficient without argu ment, and the bill was withdrawn, to be renewed next session with probably more success. Indeed, as reform progresses, such regulations as these will follow as a matter of course. At present they should follow even more logically, for where a want of actuai property bars a seat, surely the posses sion of negative property, a large amount of unsatisfied debt ought to have douto!e effect. The old law, how ever, respected the even nominal capacity to spend, and substance in a progenitor was lookel to more than su',stance in se. It is time, however, that such old laws, having one foot in the grave, should take the other after it. Si in l f Ar, g 1 , 1 0 30 ,11:01 The advocates in th P e AltB, a'sembly l chambers in the new constitution appear to be , e • -- hopeless minority.

Yesterday passed away without disturbance, not withstanding the grave apprehensions of ti e public and of the government itself. The formidable extent and efficiency of the measures taken by the executive, and the attitude of determination assumed by the authorities and the National Guard, may have been the cause of the absence of any attempt to disturb the public tranquillity. From the great military force now collected within the capital itself, and the cordon of camps and forts which surrounds it outside the circle of the fortifica tions, it is not possible to imagine any attempt at in surrection with the remotest hope of success. The theatre of the insurrection, being necessarily the fan bourgs, would ba included between two fires : while the military force within would drive the insurrec tion towards the external boulevards, the military furce without, closing round these limits, would drive it back again. Open insurrection, therefore, is not what is now feared : secret plots and conspiracies are what is apprehended. Within the last ten days the emigration of people from Paris has assumed formidable dimensions. All the employh in the passport offices are insufficient to discharge the requisite business. At the prefecture of police there has been daily a queue of several hun dred yards in length. Attempts at assassination still continue. The night sentinels forming the outposts of the camps and the detached forts are frequently fired at and sometimes killed. The night before last a soldier was thus killed at the camp of St. Maur.

Fevre, to authorise the state to seize on the private domain of Louis Philippe, on the ground that the donation made by that monarch, when on the point of ascending the throne, was an act null and void. The author of the proposition maintained that, previously to 1789, it had always been the cueom in France for the propetty of the reigning prince to merge into that of the torone; he dented that the de cree by which Napoleon had constituted a private domain could have any value in 1830 ; he declared that Louis Philippe, in making over his property to his family, had done nothing else than defraud the state. M. Jules Fevre admitteu that a law had been passed in 1832 rec,Tnising the donation so made ; but he argued that such law could now be declared of no avail, since Louis Philippe had lost his crown by his own laults and crimes. M. Thiers, on hearing this language, said : I am accustomed to the language of victorious parties, and, as far as I am personally concerned, I never allow myself to be either astonished at what I bear, nor do I ever reply. But there are thins which I cannot allow to be said without, protesting against them. King Louis Philippe. no doubt, committed faults, and grave ones, which led to his downfall —fault. which I deplored and opposed for eight years ; but he has never committed crimes. Ho was in his own person often the object of crimes ; but it is false to say that any can ' be laid to his charge. I appeal on this head to every honest man. I appeal to history. As to the confiscation of the private property of the late royal family I shall oppose such an act as an odious injustice. I admit the republic, and • desire to see it firmly and peaceably established ; but I do not wish to see it dishonoured by such acts of iniquity as this.
