Khur Wintion—treet. Strand. LATEST FROM PARIS. In another page will be found accounts from Purls to noon yesterday. The following is the communica tion of our correspondent, since received, with news to mail hour last evening. PARIS, TUESDAY, 5 P.M. M. Leden-Rollin has been made sensible of the imprudence of his escapade. 'The burst of public indignation at his manifesto has been too loud and too general to he resisted, and he is to draw in his horns in the 31 ite , tr of to-morrow. lam told that some unfortunate scapegoat is found to whom the responsi bility of the circular is to be transferred. It is well that France can thus demonstrate to Europe that public opinion still dares to speak out, and that the regime of 1793 is at least not yet in vigour. Another measure, however, still menaces the res pectability of the country. An attempt is to be made to dissolve the companies of the Nile of the National Guard. This has already' produced a formidable ex plosion. The object is said to be to place the entire Intelligence and respectability of Paris at the mercy of an armed rabble. It will not, however, be accom plished. The army and the national guard co-oper ating will resist it. Messrs. Rothschild, and some other large houses, have issued a circular, calling in for payment all ob ligations, whether come to maturity or not. This has given rise to the report I mentioned in my former letter, that they were about to wind op and close. lam sorry to say that an impression prevails, in well-informed quarters, that this revolutionary crisis will not end without a further sacrifice of life. Not that the least idea is entertained of any return to monarchy. That no one thinks of'. It is out of the category of political possibilities. But a bloody struggle will take place before a republic, founded on property and intelligence, will be established. The . 3feeiteue says:" Some doubts have been ex pressed as to the period at which the decree of the provisional goverment relative to the immediate abolition of slavery will cause the general liberation of the blacks. The committee charged to prepare the act of emancipation occupies itself actively with its labours. But, whatever diligence it may display, the measure To ccesary for organising liberty will not permit this great act of reparation to be accomplished before the termination of the coming harvest." Yesterday the provisional government received several deputations. Among them was one from the dealers in poultry, demanding the immediate idismissal of the in of the markets, and a regulation of the &ries; another of tradesmen, demanding the establishment of a second Caisee de Sccours on behalf of small tradesmen : a third, of those who let out the carriages called dr ri:llie, to demand that their vehicles should be allowed to station in the streets, that some alteration should be made in the mode of numbering them, and that they should not be liable to seizure for offences committed by their drivers. A deputation of the fishwomen of the markets complained of the em barrassments thrown in the way of their trade, and of several abuses which existed in the sale of fi4r. A deputation of the national guard of Neuilly requested l'.at the national guard of that place should he divided into two battalions, they bear ing the expenses. One of painters complained that their masters created difficulties with respect to the fixing of the home of labour; another, of the small wine dealers of Berry, demanded an altera tion in the mode of levying the duties on wines and liquors; and one of stone-cutters demanded that piece-work should- be immediately abolished. Most of these deputations were received by M. Armand Marrast, who promised that every attention should be bestowed on their applications. At a meeting of tradesmen, landlords, fundholders, employee, &c., of the Bth arrondissement, held yester day, it was determined to create a Commandite Na (innate, proportioned to the means, will, and patriotism of each citizen, and destined for the immediate relief of the working classes. One hundred and forty of the persons present subscribed their names, and in a few minutes the subscription reached 15 ' 560 f. The circular addressed by M. Ledru Rollin, mini•ter of the interior, to the commissaries of the government sent into the departments, has produced as already stated, an expression of painful surprise. The realamatious against this ill-judged document which have appeared in the journals are innumerable. We take the tbllowing from the Constitrltiomel of this morning : The liberty of all, within the conditions of public order, the liberty of the elections of the nations! assembly, such is the rule, the aim, the limit of the power of the pre% isionel government and of its agents. However. Francehas this day read, with extreme surprise, a circular of :ho Minster of the Interior to the commissaries of the government. We trust this circular will be inter preted by its author himself, who so energetically asserted the rights of liberty under the last government, and who cannot wish to oppress under the new one. To declare that the commissaries of the government have Unrunieed powers, that they are invested with the sove reignty of the people, that they have no other judge but their cotsc;cnce, and that they subordinate all to what is 'I called public safety ; to exclude from the elections those men who were rot rep..' :icon, bzfer.' Feb. 22, that is to say,' the imineu,t tr.sp rttv of the nation ' to consider elec nom not es tee free sod city work of the nation, but as the walk of the prefects; to! endeavour to place the Country under the empire of universe' terror; is it not doing with more violence, end on a larger scale, what was so often and se energetically blamed in the former government? It the edu cation of the nation is not complete, as it is pretended. why have universal suffraste ? If the nation is not en dow, d with common sense, and with the intellgence neces sary to choose for herself, without beinjeguided by the inspi rations of fear, why then have called upon her to pronounce upon her own futures The republican form of government presumes," the political intelligence of the nation; the former government declared that the country was not sufficiently enlightened to be endowed with larger et. forms; the new government declares the country to be sufficiently enlightened to be put into pones/ion of the rights of universal voting; the liberty the most complete is the natural con sequence of the latter opinion, as corruption was the con sequence of the former. We would still hope that the circular of M. Ledru Rollin has been ill-comprehended. We have often differed in opinion with M. Ledru Rollin; but we have always ennsidered him to be a liberal. Ile moat certainly has not wished to place under the diet corial autho rity of the commissaries, his agents, the army, the tribunals, even the immoveable magistracy, the direction of the elew tions, to usurp at once the power of his colleagues of the provisional government and the sovereignty of the nation. He has not wither' to my, " the State is myself ! " Every oars in France at the present moment enumerates his rights and wishes to preserve them. We are not placed, thank God, in the alternative between anarchy or the dictatorship, in all the energy of the word. Between these two we have the republic and liberty. France will keep to them. The emigration excites an uneasiness in the provi sional government, which its organs vainly try to dis semble. The fact cannot be denied. In my letter of last evening, I gave you no exaggerated account of this movement. The National this morning has the following article upon it : What, then, has happeued within the last few, days, that we hear mention on all sides of sudden journeys and preci pitated departures? The movement which induces • part of the population to abandon Paris is like to a flight. Fly ! good God, slid why) What danger threatens us? what peril have we to dread? The revolution was accomplished m a few hours; a vanquished monarchy disappeared, bearing away with it the cause of our dissensions. France has become herself; France is her own mistress. Let us forget the eighteen years which have just elapsed, or, if we atilt remember them, let it be only to draw from the experience of the past, some lessons useful to the happiness of all. But why affect alarm? why pretend fear? We de mand it of those very persons who wish to leave us. What dreadful symptom tine then appeared on the horizon to inspire these sad thought, of emigration? Have they incurred any danger hitherto? Do they run any risk at present? Even in the midst of the emotion of the conflict, of the exultation of victory, has a slim'e word of hatred esaped from this heroic Premien population, as generous as brave, or a cry of revenge, or an accent of threat? Let one such fact be mentioned—one sole fact, and we will pronounce a sentence of condemnation. And at the present moment what is going forward ? the workmen, confiding in g 'eminent, because they well know that they neither can nor will deceive them, return to their workshops, and resume their labour. Gee unanimous feeling pervades all minds, has penetrated every soul. All, casting a look of legitimate hope towards the assembly which is about to give a constitution to the republic, ad journ their wishes, their desires, their ideas, their systems, till this solemn moment, when democratic France will be definitively organised. Political life, like a warm and generous fluid, c , reulates throughout the veins of the population. The people busy themselves with the elections, with the candidature. To the short struggle with arms has succeeded the calm, pacific, and regular agitation of a great nation prenarine to accomplish the most sacred, the most serious act the human mind can conceive. And can it be, at this very instant, when we witness this work of elaboratien studied in so religious a manner, and so well understood by every class of twenty, that we ace the roads covered with emigrants ? But whither are they going? In what land do they hope to fiud more liberty, and, above all, more security ? Three great laws have been proclaimed by thee republic, three great facts have sprung from the revolution, and, like a brilliant star, enlighten the road we have pursued and that we have still to to pursue "Respect of persons," "Revert of pro perty," "Morality for Oland That is whet was promised us, and what has been given us, by the 24th of February. What more do you require ? And where can you be better ? Remain, then, and no not draw upon yourselves the most cruel of all reproaches, that of cowardice. Do not let it be said of you, that, like a flock of birds, you have flown away, without knowing what scared you. There is, in a serious peril from which we fly, a kind of grandeur, which explains and justifies our flight in some sem We under. stand and we pity the timid, but we despise the cowardly. The emigrants of 184 S, leaving behind them a tranquil city, a country in which order and peace pr. rail, do nut even in spire anger; they excite I eughter. Ttcy conceive them selves to be deserving of pity, and are but ridiculous. Do you see them mysteriously burying their jewels, preparing their trunks in secrecy, obtaining passports under a reigned name ; and, who knows, disguising themselves, per haps, in order to escape by the favour of the night. And yet Paris wears its usual aspect ; no, we err. Paris has neither a king nor sergens (le role, But in their stead, the national guard, zealous and indefatigable, is at every guard house; maintains order and tranquillity on all sides, and the town and the city, fully recovered from its shock of a moment, reposes, joyful, at its evening bites, at its theatres, at its halls, from the fatigues and labours of the day. But now we think of it. The national guard! Is not that the true cause of this panic ? Yee, doubtless ;it is the true, the sole cause; the sole peril. To be called on duty! The emigrants fly from the serjeant.major. Fly, then, and may an immense burst of laughter welerott you on your way, wherever you direct your steps. Go, henceforward we know you well, and we will tell you your name. You are the emigrants of the Hotel of Haricots. (Prison for the re fractory national guard.) Pasts, Nisame 14.

We have Madrid news to the Ath instant. No dis orders whatever bad followed the announcement of the Paris revolution in that country. The dreaded sth of March had gene off quietly at Zaragoza. Dis orders rumoured at other places, such as Ampurdam, Grenada, &e., had no sufficient foundation, and were generally discredited. The correspondent of the Faro sends a copy of an incendiary proclamation from Zaragoza, headed " Viva Espartero ; viva la Repu publica," denouncing vengeance upon the moderadoes. The committee of the senate bad reported in favour of the bill for conferring extraordinary powers on the government. The Fare announces the de parture of M. Isturitz for London. General Narvaez was taking great pains to ingratiate himself with the troops in garrison at Madrid. He had increased the pay and rations of officers and men. The government had forbidden the stockbrokers to meet at what is called the" Little Exchange" at hours when the regular Exchange is not open. Some arrests had, it was said, been effected, but they were sur rounded with mystery. Humours of a modification of the ministry were current, but were not considered well-founded. The Montemolinista at Bilboa express great satisfaction at the overthrow of Louis Philippe, which they consider a visitation from heaven. They state that it will soon be their turn, and that if they cannot overthrow existing in stitutions by any other means, they will turn republicans. It has been remarked that a Bayonne newspaper, called the /Vpubticain, which advocates the creation of the Basque provinct a into a republic, has recently very largely increased its circu lation among the Nlontemolinists in Spain. The losers by the fall at the Bolsa refuse, I under stand, generally to settle accounts. They prefer most of them, on this account, a fall of 7 per cent. to a fall of 2 or 3, as in the latter case they could not have pleaded insolvency with any face. )Imam Bob- t, Drawn 9.—Tine it, 241, at ..7,1 days 21; ; two operations of l t. . . meh.

Almost all the French here, and a great number of distinguished Genoese, were present. The French consul was not present." A GIFT OF £5,000 TO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. — Some weeks since, it appears, an individual, who refused to give any name, called on Lord Auckland, as Vice-President of the Council, and announced his intention to give 5,0001. to the college, to be a fixed mud at the disposal of the coun cil, on condition that the council should consent to give to the fund such ordinary English surname as he should pre scribe at the time of paying the money. In the event of this condition being accepted, the council were to advertise their a cceptance in a morning paper, on two successive days, which Z. A. named. The council decided, as most of our readers, we presume, will decide—and as we nave made up in our own minds to decide—whenever they or we shall have to weigh a similar alternative. They did not, it would seem, co..sider that there was anything in the terms for which 5,0001. was not a good and sufficient equivalent. The advertisements were, accordingly inserted, but nothing more was heard of Z. A. for some days after the second had appeared. On the 29th of February, however (the rarer day the rarer deed), Z. A. made his appearance at the Admiralty, and handed over to Lord Auckland 5,0001. in Bank of England notes, intimating at the same time that the fund was to be called "The Andrew's Fund." We believe an understanding exists that no attempts are to be made to trace the donor—and his IMMO is not to be divulged if by accident it should be dis• covered; au addition to the terms to which also we hasten to promise by anticipation our adhesion—to any philanthropist in search of an easy recipient.

WEALD OP KENT FARMERS' CLun.—At the hat meeting of this club the subject under consideration was the culti vation of hope. There was a highly interesting discussion, which the state of our columns prevents our reporting in detail. Most of the speakers, however, agreed that much land now planted with hops is totally urumited to the crop, and that many persons engage in this expensive and precarious branch of agriculture without sufficient means to carry it on profitably. A resolution was adopted to the following effect:—That success in the cultivation of the hop being attended with so much risk, it is highly desirable that every planter should, in determining the ex tent of his plantation, have a due regard not only to the state of the soil, but to the amount of his capital, an unduly enlarged plantation being very injurious both to the planter and to the labourer.—lbid.

The best price were obtained on Thunday and Friday, when new Hamburg Wheat sold at 61s. to 525. The markets in the thief con suming district not respor.ding to the firmness and advance in this and nine other place', we had less doing on Saturday and yesterday, and Wheats of the quality referred to above were ofir red at 501. 6d. per qr. The duty advancing to 75., several lots were previously entered at the rate of 6s. At today's market we had a good supply of home-grown Wheat, and also of new foreign: the latter was sold for an advance upon the above price, and 525. was paid, but the enhanced price checked business. Farmers' Wear, Is. advance. Barley is scarce, and good malting qualities are Is. dearer. There are several small cargoes of new tweign Oat, on the market; about 235. to 245. according to quality. New fo reign Beans are offering plentifully, and, c. ming on a dull market, must be written Is. to 2s. lower; go .d new sold at 36x. An exceedingly dull , ale for Peas of all descripuors. We are well supplied - with Tares, both large rind small the former very fine; when spring sowing commences we may look for an improved demind ; at present th. y are difficult to quit. Without arrivals. of Linseed, and the bulk of the import being in wueheuse, the market has some what more firmness; Cakes are selling at our quotations. Rapeseed not offering; no Rape Cakes on the market ; 12.05. the last prier paid. Bones are dull, and more eagerness to sell than of late. Best qualitics of Guano go off freely.

LIVERPOOL, March 14.-The arrivals into this port daring the week ending yesterday, contain a fair supply of Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, with a moderate quantity of Flour thence, and several pucels of grain .outwese ; the imnorts from abroad forming merely 9,837 qrs. of Indian Coin, 5,177 barrels Corn Meal, and 1,117 barrels Flour, ex clusively from the United States having none reo ntiv in from the contiuent of Europe. In most of the English markets held at the close of last week the prices of Wheat were stated to be inclining rather upwards, and the demand slightly improved, with a little more firm ness in Flour ; the same remarks beiiig applicable respect lag these articles, and also to Indian Corn, in Ireland, where the latter is still required to some extent, and the consumption increasing. Although our Corn Exchange this morning was tolerably well attended, no eager dine sitioa was shown to purchase any article of the trade extensively. In any description of Wheat, therefore, the operations were only moderate in amount, anti little influenced by the im provement in Mark-lane; the general range of prices, though alightly over those of Friday, were barely equal to the rates of this day se'nnight. Sack Flour was in rather better re quest, and prime samples were the turn dearer; whilst Ameri can, upon a more limited demand than usual. merely sustained its previous value. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, remained in all respects nearly the same as last week. !Oats, of which the dealers bought slowly today, were rather depressed in value, superior meeting qualities not exceeding 3s. per 451 b. Oat meal, however, supported the terms last noted. Some parcels of Indian Corn were again taken far Ireland, but there was a less general demand far this article than was calculated upon; fine yellow nearly maintained its late value, but white was Is. to'2s, per qr. cheaper. Corn Meet moved sparingly, at 13e. to 13s. 6d. per barrel. During several days last week, the weather was extremely wet and boisterous, but, succeeded hl a cold drying wind from the north, is now bringing the soil into favourable order again for tillage.

Considering the pressure which has foe eerie erne past borne upon trade, and the difficulties with which the mercantile world are still struggling, I cannot wonder that electors should be disposed to watch reth mare than usual viten.« the PrdcYedimell of the legislature in reference to the expenditure and taxation of the country. I em nut, therefore, surprised that at this time I should have received from Manchester an ileireation of the financial policy which emelt! be acceptable to my constftuents. The general penciples of legislation indicated by the memorial have my full concurrence. eildthing can be more important than to scrutinne narrowly the expenditure of the country ; nod public attention, when awakened to our gradually augmented outgoings cannot be directed to a more use ful end than to the means or effecting retrenchment. and economy. The government has proposed the appointment of committees to inquire into the tnimellaneoue estimates, and also into the army, navy, and ordnance estimates. I hope benefit may result fi om the. investigations. *peaking for myself, there Is nothing which I should hail with greater matisfaction than to find we are erabled so hr tesitice our expenditure us to obviate the necessity for increasing( the amount of Megaton. In the prevent state of the finances of the country I think it is inipructirahie to abanden thi• income tax; and I :MI not prepared to pay that, if we were in a monism to shmortee with the amount of revenue which it yields, that there are not other taxes more prejudicial to the trade and manufactures of the country which it might bc. tenable to repeal. if I have eighth) understood the feeling. of the manufacturing dietricui, I think I may emelt that the euhstitution of the present income tax for 8,000,000 f. of indirect taxes which have been repealed since 1812. has been • policy which hos met their approbation. The question, however, now is, whether the income tan shall be renewed in Me present shape. There appears to be an imatinetive feeling that the name rate of duty ehould not be levied upon il)C0131(41 desire! from trade and profeesioted °ninon as upon tit se derived from realised property. The appeale in purport of that view are urged with much hate. At present I have area no plan for meeting the difficulty which does Sot create as motel injustice as it professes to remedy. I wall sincerely that men could agree ou mime scheme which would at least give the gemend impression thst the harden of the tax was eqitally distributed. Vile undoubtedly would render, if not acceptable, at least mote tolerable. an impost which must, under any eircume.mices, be fresseently oppressive and vest times. With recant to the extension of the 'femme tax to Debind, I cannot bat recognise the justice of the mews expressed in the immune'. L fi.vl that this impost must ultimately be made to reach the property of Ireland. Those who support the present exemption merely contend that the peculiar pressure to which the income of Insisted Imo lately been subject from the unfor tunate circumstances of that country give a claim to some indulgence. Thar, alas the exemption of Jewell's under 1301. Is derendost ws • matter of grace mid factor rat:ier than one of justice. The next point to which cry attention is called to the exemption which landed property enjoys from the payment of probate and legacy duties. No doubt the limited application of these duties to personal property has born considerol by high authorities as an unequal arrangement. I do not heel.. tote to arose my opii ion, that should the continency to . which you have air erred arise, any tea on pmetxsion to personal pro perty should be made to apply also to the succession to reel state. The proposal to embody the militia is not now before par:iamene The objections to thin desieription of military force, and the mode of its enrolment have great weight. As we are not called on to decide upon this question, I will not say more than that should such a pro , pool be submitted, the strong °lenient to trio 'object emertamed by the elector. who have signed the memorial, shall receive from me the meet anxious consisleration. The last resolution of the me morial conveys the opinion that "aggressive war is contrary alike to true policy and the shrine law." Can I scruple for • moment to deebire my entire agreement with that opinion! lam requested to guard ' against any OICANUIv9 which may involve this country in hostilities with foreign nations ; to that request I give my hearty consent, and can with u clear conscience uudernike to strenuously oppose any line of policy which in my belief Is calculatol to bring the country into the horrors of war. I have thus touched briefly upon the different topics i contained in the requisition, and claiming at the hand, of m cen t stitnency that fide ullowarste which slay with justice be mole fo y r the parliamentary course of a member hunting entre in any government, I will conclude by assur ing them that It shall be my constant aim to : carry out honestly into practical legislation those prineiplto on which I have been returned to purlionent.—(Signed) Trios. A Ittnee ' Grissom. Tile I'RESS AND THE BOARD OF STAMPS AND TAXES.—The lorkshireman aye:—We beg to direct the attention of our contemporaries throughout the kingdom to the following extraordinary, and, in our opinion, unwar rantable and illegal resolution touching newspapers, arrived at by the Board of Stamps and Taxes, Somerset House. We may as well explain at once that we were some what surprised at the character of the account for ad vertisement they presented last month by the Stamp office against the proprietors of the Yorkshireman news paper. In that account we found an overcharge of no less than eighteen advertisements in the then cur rent month. Of course we requested an explanation from the officials connected with the Stamp-office in this city, when, to our surprise, we received information that orders had been given from head-quarters to charge with advertise went duty a great portion of our customary !sporting intelli gence : that is to Kay, all " entries of horses " for the vari ous stakes throughout the country. Perfectly persuaded of the illegality of this new imposition. we immediately placed ourselves in communication with Somerset House, repre senting the unwarrantable character of the surcharge, and claiming a remittance of the duties upon the eighteen slyer tisements alluded to. The following was the reply we re. mined, To .1. Duncan. Esq.—Sir,—The board having had before them your letter of the 20th ult., in regard to notices relating to' entries of horses for certain stakes' which appeared in the lorkshirmon haying been charged with advertisement duty for the month of January lien, lam directed to state, that the aseenunent to the advertisement duty has been made on all similar notices relerring to nom to come whenever observed during the past year ; but in soesideration of the charge having been made in your eve without previous none—, it will be remitted on this oceurien ' but for the future it will I, insistent on.— ' I sun THOMAS Benno , , ~...t. Seca—Stamps and Taxes, London, March B, lege. Now we should like very much to know what clause in the Stamp Act authorises this new charge. The " entries " in question are clearly mere matters of ordinary intelligence. They are not prospective announcements—and such alone are liable to the advertisement duty—but simply announce ments of events or " entries " which are concluded and filled up before they are published. We contend, therefore, that this new impost is altogether illegal, and should be re sisted by the press generally throughout the country. This is not the first time we have had to remonstrate against the new edicts and regulations of Somerset House. Some few months ago we received a circular intimating that hereafter ill " reviews of books " were to be charged with the advertisement duty; and it was only after the strongest prat. see from ourselves and others that the board relinquished their illegal intentions. It is singular, too, that since the year 1832 (when the new Newspaper Stamp Act was passed ) all such sporting information as we have alluded to has been passed by the Stamp-office as nut liable toadvertisement duty. It is now, therefore, very difficult to discover what has come "over the spirit " of Somerset House. We request the notice, however, of our contempo raries to this m itter; and should the etamp-office persist in their resolution it would be w.ll to consider the propriety of appealing to a higher department of the executive. A LARGE OPEN-AIR MEETING OF CHARTISTS took I place on Monday evening, behind the Salford Town hall, the numbers congregated on the occasion being at least 4,000 or 5,000. The main object of the meeting was to con gratulate the people of France " on the grand and victorious achievement in the cause of democratic principles." There had been a fear of this meeting leading to a renewal of the late disturbances, and the authorities had prepared a grand muster of the civil forces to keep them in cheek, but the re. cult, as was anticipated in a paragraph of yescei day's E.rpress, showed that this preparaimi was unnecessary. Mr. James Hoyle was elected to the chairs and on the motion of Mr. Flinn and Mr. Rea, an address to the people of France was unanimously agreed to. A res thition, pledging the chartists to Jeep a watchful eye on the bearing of our own government towards the new republic, and further pledging them to renew and continue the r incitation for the people's charter, was moved by Mr. Pickering. and seconded by Mr. Anderson.—Mr. Leach, the principal speaker on the occasion supported the motion. He referred to the distress which has existed in Manchester for the last eighteen months, stating that the weekly average of paupers r,ceiving out door relief was something like 17,000, whilst the workhouses and hospitals were full ; and he told shopkeepers that it they did not see to the amendment of the present state of things, the reduction of working men's wages would reduce • their business and profits, and bring them to bankruptcy.— The speaker congratulated the meeting on its peaceable de meanour, and exhorted every one to depart in order and peace. lie then again proceeded to talk of despotism, and the final triumph of the world over it; and, adverting to the heroes who had died in the late revolution in France, called n,, every man present to show his reverence for the departed dead by taking off his hat. The wish was complied with. The whole meeting uncovered, and gave three cheers for the I departed heroes—The following is a copy of the address to the French republic : Address tithe inhabitants of the townrhip of Salford, a township of the parish of Manchester, containing nearly 100,000 human beings, who foe the greater pars are hard worked and ill, and who are come quently ill f and chad, nr.d also bully boimed.—To the brave, the virtuous, the magnanimous people of France. We, the people of Sal ford, In public meeting assembled, in the open square belonging tothe hall of the people of Salton', in the presence of the Great DitTOSer of Eventa, mat heartily tender you our sincere coegratulatione upon the event which you have so admirably achieved, and which we doubt not will be a, admirably worked out in its various details, giving to the world a model republic, in which the interests of the operative workmen will occupy, as they ought, the most prominent Neition. We beg also to thank yOu most fervently for the :eirable manner in which you have effected this desirable revolution, re epecting property, preserving the public peace, maintaining or der where all your enemies predicted nothing but anarchy and the wildest orohtsion. Above all, we thank you because you have virtue *and the nobleness of soul which dares to do right to all causes ;in d e you teeth all our clergy, whom especial duty it is to protect the pcor, who have eo long •abandoned the poor to the op. prelusion of the neh, that they are ueeless—they do not attend to the neceisities of the poor. Sour embracing, as the basis of year great and admirable republic, the whole of those principles which the chartists of England have long nought to eetablish, is Indeed an art of such great promise, that we may fairly . hail it as the first realisation In practice of any nation of the true principles of Christianity, which affirm that "We should do unto others as we would have them do unto us." Believing your deeds will be es mach for our good as for your own, we do most sincerely wish you may be able to maintain pewee with all the world, thus affording an opportunity of consoli dating a sound, wise, :did "sly noel: cosernment, forming a polar star to the guidance.of eurnalding cations We are yours, bmthms Of In the great atm& of right spinet miglat,—THa YEOPLA SALrOMIa.

COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. MONEY MARKET St CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—We had a dull market in the earlier part of the morning, but about mid-day it became noised abroad that letters had been received from Paris announcing the stoppage of numerous houses of consideration, and among them of banking houses of the very first rank. In the face of such astounding news Consols, however, maintain their price at 811 to I, for money and account. But in reality there is scarcely any business doing : A sort of stupor or confu sion prevails in the Stock Exchange about the news from Paris. A private letter from that city, to a respectable house here, states that the " Bourse was extremely agitated, yet, extraordinarily enough, the Five and Three per Cents. had both ad vanced." Subsequently, however, they declined. There is yet reason to hope that the deplorable news referred to may prove to be without sufficient foundation ; and it is singular that such extraordinary intelligence should not come an nounced, if true, by the extraordinary expresses of the daily papers.
