writers should go, day after day, to note down what a man sod he the same before a magistrate, for the purpose el foundin charge of felony. Ile e with. the hon. and le., g med member for Abingdon as s to his view of s i ts c l a use ; but as the Attorne sh y. Geould neral had thrown up. doubts is the point it was proper it be cleared Ile would. therefore, move to odd the words, " And • summons or warren* forthwith issued, and an indictment preferred within innuths." In reply to a question from Mr. V. SMITH, The A t 1 UltN EY GENERAL said, to make the matter more clear, he would introduce the words, that no person Mould be pro,ecuted in respect to words spoken, unless informati,n of the offence, and the words by which such offeace .I, , rested, uttered, or declared, be given upon oitli b,for . ,ne row justices of the peace within six days a fter the .oirai.sion of the offence, substantiated by two credible witnesses. Mr. 11L't1 E thought it necessary that members should have the o; portunity of considering the clause a. altered before they were called on to decide upon it. Ile moved that the ch-irmon report progress. Mr. D. M'NEALtt observed that by the law of Scotland capital (po e t we re not boilable, while for offences not tal the c, might be bailed as a matter of right. Ro p w did government intend to apply the bill in this respect to Scotland ? The 1.0 r.I).ADVOCATE admitted that this was a point for consid , r,tion, and he hid no doubt that on consultation with his hon. and learned friend a clause to meet the case of Scotlairl iniaht be framed. Mr. 111.: ME Again urged that the committee should ad journ, and le: ,vco that the chairman report progress stud ask leave to sit L,ernin. Sir G. OR EY admitted the necessity of reprinting the clause and i.. aging it up on the report. (Loud cries 01 " No.") After a few words from Mr. NAPIOR and Mr. J. O'Cos ram., who. spressed a hope that in the case of Ireland toe information- should be sworn before the stipendiary magis- taste, Mr. HUME, for the third time, moved that the chairman report pews .s, observing that they bad been lloslsittii , g 11 hours. No wake having been taken of the hon. metnher's motion, he .I..ked, amidst much laughter, if the chairman was asleep ? The Cue ItMAN having then put the question, Sir 0. Glth If said that if the boo. member pressed his motion, h., sh.,uid ask tho house to meet to-morrow (this day), at 12 Mr. HUME persisted, and the house divided on his Mike. Ayes Noes 3od-257 On the that the third clause, as amended, do sued put of the b. 1, A convers . ion arose, in which Mr. WAKLET, Sir G. UPI Mr. AOLIONBY, took part. Mr. O'CONNOR professed himself utterly ignorant how the clause, 1. amended, stood. Instead of amended, it WM Confllstd. it..l the learned Attoruey.General had made con- fusion won- ....founded. Sir U. (; SLY recommended the hon. member to look at the clause ..- it stood in the bill, with the addition that had been mad.. Sir F. ESIG ER thought it would be very inconvenient to agree to the clause as amended, when it was known that there was a proviso to be afterwards added. It would be much better t • postpone the clause altogether. sir G. OREN' said the clause had been discussed during three days lie did not object to the fullest discussion pro. tided it %% et not protracted for the purpose of delay. It was quite a usual course to pass a clause when the su'istance of it was agreed to, leaving provisoes to be added alter- Ws;ds. Sir F. TIIE - 40ER said he had no wish to interpose any nanecess.,r) delay; but govcrnmeht having proposed an amendment on which they hail not made up their minds, he had thought it de,irable, for the sake of making the bill u perfect as possible, that the committee should have the clause and thi. proviso before them at the same time. Mr. Ill:ME doubted, although the clause had been un der consider.ition three days, whether any one understood anything .ib , ut it. (Laughter.) Sir G. GREY hoped tee committee would support him by eaprrs.ing an opinion on that clause before they separated. Mr. d. START thought the clause was substantially agreed to by all. (Loud cries of " No.") Mr. MUN f Z said the long discussion on this clause was owing to the bungling manner in which it was drawn. However much members of the government might feel irri tared at the delay, that was no matter to independent mem bers who del not care for government. (Cheers.) The ATIORNEY-GENERAL supported the passing of the clause. Mr. WAKLEY said he should divide the committee on the question of reporting progress, and the committee divided accordingly : Ayes - au Noes The house again divided on the question that clause 3, as amended, stand part of the bill Ayes Nees On clause 4 b..inir proposed by the CHAIRMAN, Mr. F. O'CONNOR contended that it would be monstrous to pass this clause until the proviso which was promised to be added to the clause just disposed of was brought up and agreed to. Ile hoped the committee would not hesitate to sit all night, all to-morrow, and all the nest night, rather than the bill suould be adopted in its present imperfect state. If they did. he would venture to say the government would never be one to obtain a >iaggle conviction under it. The ATTORNEY-GENERA.L was surprised that the hon. member for Nottingham should object to proceed with this clause, which conferred a benefit upon the subject as against the crown, inasmuch as it required distinct notice to be given to the accused of the evidence on which the charge against him rested. After a few words from Mr. 111:Ntr, which did not reach us, Sir F. TRESIG ER said that though he had no substan tial objection to this fourth clause, yet he, in common with the hon. member for Nottingham, objected to its being discussed at the present moment, or until the committee knew the precite nature of the proviso intended - to be added to the third clause. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was of opinion that, even taking the proviso as stated by the hon. and learned gentle. man, there was no ground for the opposition which he offered to it. After a few words from Mr. AGLIONBY and Mr. R. PALMER in support of the clause, and from Mx, MARTIN in opposition to ii, The house divided—For the clause 221 _ Against it, The clause was then agreed to. The remaining clauses and the preamble were agreed to. Capt. HARMS postponed his clause respecting the manufacture and sale of pikes, till the bringing up of the report. The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. CUSTODY OF LUNATICS. On the motion of the LOUD ADVOCATB, leave was given to bring in a bill to amend the law of Scotland, relative to the care and custody of lunatics ; and for the better regula tion of lun:,tic asylums; and for the establishment of asy lums for pauper lunatics. The house adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock till Monday. Ur erpregiO.

LONDO.V,SATU.RDAY, APRIL 15. . _ Di the Hou.qx of LORDS yesterday Lord STAN LEY concluukd a speech of parliamentary details by moving fur leave to bring in a bill for the better conducting the public business of both house's. The alteration he contemplated in the existing system was, to grant to either house the power, upon the re ceipt of any bill from the other, and precious to the reference of that hill to a committee, to adjourn the consideration of the measure from a period of the session at which it could not be deliberately discussed, to an early day to be named in the next session of Parliament, cud that the house should be at liberty to proceed with the bill as if it had been sent up from the other house as a measure of the existing session. Such a proposition, he thought, would secure employment at the commencement of the session, and THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1848. at its close their lordships would not have the painful alternative cast upon them, as at present, of passing measures without due consideration, or of rejecting them for want of time properly to consider them. As regarded measures so postponed also, he thought it would be desirable that their lordships should have the power of referring them to some competent legal adviser, in order to ascer tain the bearing that one class might have on another, and who, at the commencement of every session, should patent to their lordships a legal re port on each bill so postponed. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord BLIOUWIAII concurred in thanking the noble lord for the introduction of the bill. In the house of COMMONS, which met at twelve o'clock specially for the purpose, the recommittal of the Crown and Government Security Bill was carried, and alternately all the clauses were agreed to. The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. THE first step has been taken towards the realisa tion of a wish, expressed by us some time sie,-o, that the earnest and practical liberals in parliament would introduce as much of organisation aid preconcert into their conduct as was compatible wi:h in dependence of judgment. A meeting of liberal members has resolved that a more cordial understand ing and co operation are urgently required among those members of parliament who are favourable to extension of the suffrage, revision of taxation, reduc tion of expenditure, and the general advance of reform principles. Further, soave simple arrange ments have been made for promoting the desired co-operation. The actual circumstances of the country are such as at once render some such step imperatively necessary, and afford good grounds to augur well of its success. The conduct of the new House of Commons, during the brief period which has elapsed since the opening I of its first session, has sufficed to deprive it of the confidence o! the great mass of the industrious and less wealthy electoral class, and of the thinking por tion of liberals, even among the higher ranks. An overwhelming majority of that ie.sembly is evidently composed of men who may differ in the degrees of liberality with which they are accustomed to express themselves, but who are as one iu their incapacity to appreciate the force of the elements fermenting in society, and likely, if unappeased by reforms, to find vent in serious disaffection and disturbance. They are listless and languid in what relates to measures for in creasing the efficiency of the various departments of administration ; they cannot be made to feel the in tense eagerness with which the taxpaying classes yearn for a more rational application, a more econo mical disbursement, a more satisfactory account-ren dering of the national revenue. They alternately; either sneer superciliously, or tremble like craven's at the prospect of popular discontent. The industri ous of the middle classes—the immense majority of those who have been enrolling themselves as special constables to keep the peace in Lon don, Manchester, Glasgow, and elsewhere—have lost much faith in the present House of Commons; and in any house that is likely to be elected by tho present electoralbody, distributed in the existing consti tuencies, and according to the present forms of election. We need not tell our readers that sixteen years' ex perience of the House of Commons, as constituted under the Reform Bill of 1832, had at a much earlier period brought not only chartists but the entire body of the working classes to a similar conclusion. With the exception of the more numerous section of the aristocracy, their political associates and dependents, the people—taking that word in its most compre hensive sense—are dissatisfied both with government and the legislature, and distrustful of them. A deep and spreading spirit of disaffection is abroad, which must be fraught with anarchical tendencies, unless, by means of recognised leaders among the constituted authorities, it can be brought to confine its forces to legitimate channels. The present moment is propitious to an effort to bring this strong spirit of discontent back into legiti mate channels. The class which had been admitted by the Reform Act to a greater participation in poli tical power was necessarily less quick to perceive the defects of that measure, than the class which it ex cluded. Hence it came that coldness and jealousy between the enfranchised and unenfranchieed classes soon grew up under the working of that measure. This alienation was increased by the nature of the discussions which first arose in the reformed parliament. A large proportion of the unenfranchised were natu rally the least disposed to sec any virtue in the stern principle which, however wholesome, was somewhat too complacently trumpetted by the promoters of the new poor law. The advocates of short-time bills were naturally annoyed by the little attention which their petitions at first attracted in the House of Commons, in the for mation of which their class had no voice ; for some time elapsed before the conservatives took up these measures as a means of damaging the middle-class liberals. Thus stood matters, when nearly about the same time the anti-corn-law league and the chartists commenced their respective agitations. The unen franchised were irritated that the free-trade agitation, the importance of which they appreciated very inade quately, should engross the attention of the middle classes, to the exclusion of franchise extension, which they deemed of so much more consequence. The middle classes were angry with the chartists for broaching a question which, by dividing public attention with theirs, was likely to diminish their following. Out of all the causes enumerated there grew up of late years a lamentable spirit of alienation and embitterment between the middle class and the lower-class reformers. The events of the last few weeks have predisposed both parties to seek reconciliation. On the one hand the practical reformers of the middle class have been taught by the proceedings of the new parliament that the popular element is not yet strong enough in the electoral body. On the other hand, the gross mismanagement of the chartist leaders has sickened even their immediate followers among the unenfranchiaed, and prepared the general body to think more favourably of co-operation with the middle-class reformers. Even in the convention the more reasonable members have taken grace, since the brawlers have made such fools of themselves, to talk of inviting the assistance of the middle classes. And out of that coterie there are not above a few hundred workmen in the country who do not see that nothing can be done under the guidance of men who, without examination, submitted to the scrutiny of the House of Commons the signatures to their petition 1 evi dently far more in number than could possibly be real. In short, one common feeling at this moment pervades all of every class who are convinced of the necessity of further reforms, that to obtain these reforms unity of purpose and harmony of action are needed, and that this can only be obtained under the guidance of leaders who, from their character and position, are likely to be generally acceptable. As journalists—that is as historians of passing events and independent commentators upon them—it is not for us to be partisans. We are not going to give in our adhesion to the new party which is being formed in parliament, great as our confidence is iu some of its members, opportune as we consider its organisation, and judicious as we think its pro gramme of principles. We have no hesitation in ad mitting that we have a friendly feeling to it—that we heartily wish it may deserve and obtain success — but, like young knights in the olden time, it must earn its spurs by its own exertions. If it really prove itself competent to promote the great cause it has espoused, none will be more ready to do justice to its merits—to encourage its arduous struggles — than we : but it is deeds, not words, that must win our confidence and support. Both in and out of parliament the new party, if sincere, intelligent, and resolute, have much in their power. Even the present House of Commons we do not altogether give up in despair : activity and per severance may extract some good even from its inert mass. At present, the liberal conserva tives and conservative whip are neutralised by the uncertainty as to who are to be the holders of office. Those in office are averse to laborious and decided measures ; those who think they have a chance of office, are averse to " commit themselves." Hence the members unfettered by party ties are unable to muster more than scanty minori ties. Let a ministerial crisis, however, take place — and it cannot be far distant—and the ejected from, and disappointed of, office will form a shifting balance of the house by means of which a well-informed, alert, and resolute minority may extort many con cessions to the popular cause, even from a stronger administration than we are likely to have for many years. And to reformers out of doors such a minority would be —what a standard is to warriors in an arduous and changeful fight—eorn , thing round which to rally, whenever they are broken and dispersed. They would have it in their power to raise discussions upon all sins of omission and all sins of commission of men in office. They would have it in their power to sub mit practical and practicable measures to parliament, and to compel the parliamentary leaders either to avow their reasons for rejecting them, or to damage themselves still more by arbitrary unexplained re jections. They would have it in their power to pro claim sound liberal and generous principles on all occasions. Not a word that fell from their mouths would be lost; the press would circulate it to all parts of tho empire with almost telegraphic speed. Their motions and speeches, with the comments and discus sions raised upon them through the press and at pub lic meetings, would ripen public opinion, and prepare the popular will for unanimous movements. The action and re-action of the reformers in parliament and the reformers out of doors would accelerate the maturing of practicable and efficient measures of reform, constitutional, administrative, and legislative. Rarely, if ever, has a nobler field been opened to legitimate ambition than this country now presents. Rarely, if ever, has the temper of a nation and the laziness of its rulers rendered it more urgent that men of courage and foresight should step forward and undertake the task of preventing revolution by ' timely reform. TUE Times has taken five days to make the discovery which we made on Monday evening last—viz., that the chartist petition, and the chartist meeting, and the panic consequent on them, were nothing but pieces of one and the same huge hoax. We must own that we, too, with all the world, fell into the snare, that, see ing the alarm of the government, and the fearful echo of that alarm in the Times we thought that there must be danger to the public tranquillity, to the sovereign, and constitution of these realms. We saw, indeed, no potent cause for such fears, but relied on the omniscience of government that there must have been something more serious brewing than i Mr. CI: FFA Y'd speeches and Mr. BRUNT ERRE O'BRIEN'S denunciations. On Monday morning, therefore, our small powers of persuasion were at the service of the government, and well pleased were we to find masses of the population mustering and marshalling to do battle in defence of what. all held sacred. On Monday evening our sentiments were very dif ferent. We, too, had taken some pains, rot only to count the number of those who formed the preliminary processions, but to form a judgment respecting the general state of feeling in the population who thronged the streets. And our conviction was, that not only we ourselves, but that the great mass of the loyal population had been duped into a day's loss of time, a day's waste of zeal, and into an open con fession of panic, for which there was neither cause sor pretext. It is, indeed, the Opinion of many, of many too whom we respect. that the culling forth of this great manifestation of loyalty, this mustering of the armed citizens, had its advantages, which far repaid the loss of a day, or even the confesaion that the cause was not of sufficient importance to war rant the display. Wo cannot, however, but think these advantages counterbalanced by the fact of go vernment and society having been thrown into a causeless panic, and by showing the turbulent classes the power which they possessed of creating alarm, suspending business, and turning society topsy-turvy. In Manchester the summoning of the citizens had more unpleasant results, since those who figured as special constables on Monday, found it neccesary to call a public meeting immediately afterwards, and to pass resolutions to the effect that the citizens and the middle classes, in actinsr as constables+, neither in tended to set up their cause apart from that of the working classes, nor meant by their so doing to indi cate any desire to put down the people's charter, or even to oppose it. And, altogether, the result of Monday's artificial panic throughout the country appeared to he to give increased importance and attention to the charter, whatever ridicule it may have flung upon the physical supporters of that banner. We are perfectly well aware that the course which we have followed on this and on several similar occa sions is not the popular one. Our aim and tendency have always been:to resist panic and to check exagge ration, and to struggle, as far as lies in our power, to recall, even in the midetofexcitement, the sentiments of common sense and the conclusions of calm judg ment. The Times, we admit, is wiser in its generation. Let no matter what idea be started, likely to in fluence and be agreeable to the purchasing classes, the Times instantly gets astride of it, lashes it, spurs it, and rides it to death. Let the smallest speck of a cloud appear in the horizon, containing in it the germ of a storm, the Times instantly divines it, takes pos session of it, and seta all its machinery to work to blow a gale, to get up a panic. and to be the Neptune of the tempest. Let there be but a symptom of scarcity, and the Times will soon work it into a famine. Let there be but a too copious shower, and some black spot in the potato, and the limes will soon persuade borne BULL to put himself on rations and send to the four quarters of the world for corn to glut the markets, and cause those oscillations in price which make the fortune of the speculator and the ruin of the mer chant. Then again, if payment for this over-import of corn creates a momentary over-export of gold, the Times instantly sets to work on the new material for panic. Threatened with being left without aloof one day, the world is told the next to despair of pos sessing a guinea. Its cry to the individual is to hoard ; to the Bank, to put the screw on the public ; to government, to put the screw on the Bank. To fetter and to frighten Jodie BULL is, in fact, the nightly thought and the morning task of oar contem porary. The want of corn panic, and the want of gold panic, not proving sufficient sources of alarm, the railway phobia was got up by , way of interlude in the Times. The principal channel for the employ of capital was all of a sudden denour.ced, and government bidden to act the part of M. Louis BLANC towards the compa nies, which were declared national enemies, and which were to be forbidden to spend their own money. The French communists have not gone more violently or more radically to work. After this one should have thought the country might have bad some time to repose. But the Times knew no repose, and in conjunction with some tones it got up the cry that we were to be invaded, that 50,000 Frenchmen were to march on London, and that fortifications, and armaments, and awful precau done were necessary. The public, however, thought this a little too much, and began to laugh outright, whereat the Times pocketed its panic, swallowed its war-cry, and disappeared to exchange its military uniform for its clown's dress, whea it began to tumble and make merry with the very war and na tional defences cry that itself had raised. Our contemporary's thirst for panic and excitement was not doomed, however, to be kept long unsatisfied. With February the new era of revolution came, and thick in-pouring tidings from every part of Europe naturally excited the deepest interest and the gravest thought. One should have thought that these occur rences, simply narrated, were sufficiently exciting of themselves, and that the sympathy and the turbulence which foreign revolution was sure to excite here, in a certain degree, would have suggested the expedi ency of treating such symptoms with calm and patient dignity, wise and silent precautions on the part of government, and on the part of the press, without the employment of exaggeration or any appeal to passions. The Times, however, did not see its duties in this light. It descried in these events merely the occasion for exciting panic, for denouncing liberalism, for 1 1 arming one class of citizens against another, and envenoming the rancour of the larger portion of the empire against the smaller. This me tropolis was threatened with a rising of the I people, which, ;to the number of 200,000, were to' march with pike and tricolor to the sack of parlia ment and the royal palace. Whilst the populace was thus to rase the stronghold of the constitution, the cheap press, the great bugbear of the Times, was to e.sta blish a provisional government. Not all the ravings, of French republicanism in the last century outdid the conservative ravings of the Times. And what I did this mighty revolution turn oat to be ? Ten thousand unarmed chartists, giving . vent to three or four pointless speeches, their lea n t shaking hands with, and asking pardon of. the police commissioner, and the monster petition, signed by Snoulies, Paynnse, and Co., brought down to the house in a cab. On dissection of the said document, its five million signatures have dwindled down to nothing, just as the physical-force chartists dwindled down from 200,000 to 10,000 in the columns of the Times. And now that the people's charter, as a banner of I revolution, of physical force, has been torn, soiled, and vilifiid, the indefatigable limes has got a quite new panic, a new clement of exaggeration and abuse. The big smithy-bellows of Printing-house-square, turned away from Kennington-common, has its mouth-piece applied to the Irish Confederation, the I already hot spirits of which it will soon blow to in candescence. As to the Irish repealer', their instant I rebellion is taken for granted, their very success re presented as a thing possible and probable, and the only mode of dissuasion and defence adopted by the' Times, is that of acquainting the landlords and the upper classes and the loyal subjects of her Majesty in Ireland that England wilt abandon them to their fate, for that they are just as bad as the rest of the accursed Irish, and may be well left to perish. Eng land, it is threatened, will cut off all commerce with them, send them no more charity, bestow on them no more care, and banish every native of Ireland, opera tive or engineer, men of labour, of letters, of politics, or of wealth, from forth the realm of England, just as ST. PATRICK banished vermin out of Ireland. Such is the fairness, such the wisdom, such the moderation, of the Times! Upon every question of which it treats, it takes the maniac view. Repression is in every word, and civil war in every line. Mutual contempt between each race, mutual hatred between each creed, mutual enmity and war between each class, lurk at the bottom and evaporate from the surface of every article. Under the pretence of de fending the cause of civilisation and peace, it prompts and pushes the government and the dominant classes of the country to turn their backs upon both, and to recur to measures utterly destructive to them and to liberty. It is possible that this eternal catering to excite ment, this indefatigable manufacture of panics, this outcry every morning of the country being in danger, set forth for the mere pleasure of declaring the coun try saved in the evening—it is possible that this may succeed for a time with honest JOHN BULL, that it may act like snuff in his nostril, or like a glass of strong liquor in his mouth, and create a feverish sen timent of self-satisfaction. But the more sensible part of the public must at last awaken to the fact that no society can bear to undergo this repeated process of galvanisation, without at last suffering collapse, and falling into inanity and idiotism. Everything now depends on the temper of society, and the opinions of the public. Of old, the late of empires depended on the wisdom of individuals and of councils. They now depend on sentiments far more extended, more common, and more out of doors. The welfare of England does not now hang so much on the character and foresight of a , WALPOLE or a RUSSELL, as upon the character and foresight of the English mind. It is it' which rules—it which directs: And unless it can pre serve its national sobriety of thought, calmness of temper, evenness of conduct, eschewing exaggeration, panic, frenzy, with all the alternate feebleness and fury which characterise people and periods of excite ment, the country will not be able to extricate itself successfully from the innumerable and serious difficul ties of the present European crisis. GERMANY. INSURRECTION IN C.ISSEL. HESSE CASSEL.—An insurrection has broken out in the capital of this electorate. A letter from Cassel of the 10th instant, published in the Cologne Gazette of the 13th, says: At the moment I now write a most fearful riot rages in the streets of this city. The drums are calling the civic guards to arms, and the alarm bells arc ringing. It seems that a por tion of the inhabitants had expressed their antipathy to the ex-Finance Minister Motz, by making . a demon stration under his window. On the evening of the Bth, demonstrations of the same kind took place be fore the houses of the former War Ministers, Messrs. Deim-Itothfelser and Abbee, during which some civic guards were wounded. On the 9th a number of young people endeavoured to get up a demonstra tion of a different kind—namely, in favour of the present ministers. This they did before the house of the minister Eberhard, and they then went in all peace and quietness to the house of the Minister of Justice, Baumhach, but the procession was stopped on its way, in the neighbourhood of this minister's house, by a picquet of body guards, who fired upon the unarmed people and wounded several. The exasperation at this unprovoked attack is difficult to describe. Barricades were immediately formed in all the streets and the arsenal plundered of its couteats. An orga nised attack on the barracks in which the body guard) had retired was commenced immediately after a youth had been wounded by the discharge of a pistol from one of the barrack windows, and when an entry was made by force the troops had retired, leaving only a few sick within. The barracks were razed to the ground, and it was only owing to the great exertions of the chief burgomaster that they were not fired. More than 4,000 men were under arms, and even boys of barely fourteen were to be seen handling their carbines and pistols like men. At three o'clock the body guard having been removed from the town, the cause of the outbreak was re moved, and the storm was partially allayed ; the bar ricades still remained, however, and the people re fused to lay down their arms unless the body guard was disbanded, and the officers who commenced the attack sent to prison. Such was the state of affairs by the lest accounts. The minister Eberhard was during the whole night in the midst of the affray, trying to appease the citizens. PRUSSIA.—We have the Berlin journals of the' 12th. The following is the letter of our corre spondent : BERLIN, APRIL 11. Now that the political questions of the day, the electoral law, and the mode of choosing the delegates to the forth coming constituent assembly at Frankfort are finally settled in this kingdom, public attention will, for some time to come, be almost exclusively directed to the amelioration of the condition of the working chases, and that attention will ' not be diverted to soy great extent, even by the Schleswig Holstein question. In fact, the operatives in general are conducting their own affairs in a most systematic manner, and with considerable tact, spirit, and energy. On the other hand the communists are beginning to raise their plotting heads and their discordant cries. They have asserted in some of their recent meetings that work for mere wages, must cease, because such is the work for slaves ; that those who help to produce capital should have a share in the pro fita of capital, and that the mere raising of wages will lead to no permanent good, because the price of provisions will he equally raised. People are coming forward here with all kinds of surgestions for the restoration of public credit, which is still terribly shaken, and for supplying the want of that ready cash which, as stated in the diet yesterday, nume rous persons are burying for safety. One plan is for each railway to issue so-called "railway money notes," of the value of live thalers each, to the amount of the gross receipts of the respective lines during the year 1847. It is propueed that such notes be taken on eh the lines of railway, and in all the national establishments , and t hat they be re dtemed before the expiration of two years. Moreover the Berlinisclus Zeitung of this day recommends toe abo lition of all laws limiting the rate of interest for sums advanced by capitalists. The ground far such a recommenda tion is, that by bringing money into the market, from which it is now totally withdrawn, a first step will be taken towards restoring public confidence. It is added that even if 10 per cent. interest should be required, instead of the present legal 5 or 6 per cent., no great evil will arise, for no one will procure money at tat interest, unless it be to avert a greater loss, and moreover that high rate of interest will attract foreign capital to the country. It may be stated here that, a short time ago, the committee of the united Diet voted by a majority of 61 to 34 the abolition of the anti usury laws, and that ministers have the power of carrying that decision into effect. Another propo3ition is that 12,000 out of the 26,000 armed eitaz..ns pay each 3 pfennigen weekly, whereby a weekly rum of 100 thalers will be raised. It is calculated tuat this sum would not only relieve at least .50 families every year, but put them in the way of gaining an honest livelihood. All the trades in Betlin are forming unions and holding m..ztings for the purpose of adopting measures for improving their condition. The compositors have not remained be hied. Their average weekly wages for 12 hours daily do not exceed 3 thalers 20 sgr. (something under lls.). They now require that the hours of labour shall be lowered to 10, and the wages raised to at least 5 thalers per week. or about 155., with double pay for night work as well as for walk done on Sundays and holibsys. Piece-work is to be paid for at the rate of SI per 1,000 letters fur nonpareil, and about 3d. for larger type. According to the Posen Gazette ri yesterday, the " re organisation committee" appointed by Gen. Von Willisen consists of flee Pole- and four Germans—viz Archbishop Von Przyluski, General Councillor Von Tr:show Count Nlielzynski, Councillor Kullnu, Herr Polworowski, Herr Von Zedwitz, Dr. Libelt, Surgeon Grumvald, and Herr Stefanski, a well-tinowa aseller. This committee will bars merely a deliberative voice, It appears that the Poles, since Posen was declared in a state of siege, have ceased their military exercises and pmparatious in that city, but have continued them in Kurnik, Schrods, Buk, Neustadt, and Pinne. The greater part of the Poles are armed only with scythes. According to various accounts the national Polish army musters some 3,000 men. Ihe Prussian State Gazette of the 12th coutaine the proclamation of the King for the new regulations for the elections to the German parliament. Accord ing to the recent decision of the Germanic Diet, the number of delegates to be sent by Prussia will be 159, exclusive of the provinces of Prussia, but in cluding that province, 191. The elections in the various provinces will be as follows: Brandenburg, 27 ; Pomerania, 15 ; Silesia, 39; Saxony, 23 ; West phalia, 20; Rhenish provinces, 35 ; Prussian ditto, 32. This royal proclamation, countersigned by the minister, was given at Berlin on the 11th ApriL PORT UGAL. The Oriental Company's steam-packet Montrose, Capt. J. Bowen, arrived at Southampton 3 esterday, and landed her mails under the charge of Litut. I'. Rainier, RN., Admiralty agent. Her duke are— i Gibraltar, April 4; Cadiz, April 5; Lisbon, April 9; Oporto, April 10; Vigo, April 11. All is perfectly quiet in the Portugal—the people apparently awaiting the result of the present We turbed state of Europe. A etrorg republican pamphlet was in circulation among toe inhabitants favourable to that form of government, but the party is more noisy than powerful, and were it not for the agitation caused by the Isliguelites (anxious to use these people as tools to shake the power of the eziging governmea), they would be too insignificant I to mention. DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN. DEFEAT OF THE TROOPS OF TILE DUCHIES. The substance of the following appeared in last evening's Erpren. A letter from Altona, of April 10, says—" The Danes appeared with an overpowering force, and so suddenly and boldly, in the midst of their enemies at Bau and Flensburg, that they took them by surprise, and compelled the Holstein troops of the line and volunteers to retire in all haste. The attack began in the morning on the part of the Danes, who had two vessels of war and gunboats to assist their attack on the town. They had landed at I iolnis, and, after several small contests, the Schleswig , Holsteiners made a stand at Bau, not far from Flensburg, which ended in their total defeat and the destruction of almost all of their 16th battalion, Towards 12 o'clock on the 9th several vessels of war, with 3,000 Danes on board, appeared before Flensburg. The commander of these troops evidently accurately knew the position of the Hoi steiners, who, from want of artillery, were unable effectually to oppose the landing of their enemy. As the Danes now threatened to bombard the town, the Prince of Nocr, the Holstein commander, gave orders to the troops to withdraw, which they did, but not until after a sanguinary contest, with great loos of lite on both sides. The Holstein army, which is composed of volunteers and young troops, were very eager for the combat, and it is reported that the 16th Regiment, which has been almost destroyed, retook a position twice after it had been driven out of it each time. Great animosity was evinced on both sides, and the Holsteiners and their volunteer auxiliaries, among whom were many students from various parts of Germany, fought with great bravery. The 14th and 16th Regiments of Holateiners stood till they were destroyed all but two companies, when they were compelled to retire, although, it is said, orders to this effect had been re peatedly sent to them. The Danes had a good cavalry force in the field. Of this branch of an army the Holsteiners had scarcely any. The King of Den mark entered Flensburg after this serious affair, in which the Danes took two cannon. 'lie fugitives from Flensburg who had been favourable to the in surrection wee arriving at Schleswig in great num bers. The Danes hare threatened to bombard Gluckebarg. Flensburg harbour is full of Danish gun-boats. The Vossin-lw Afton% of the llth, publiahes a " pri vate communication" from ltendsburg, under date April 7, to the effect that on that day a Danish fri gate had bombarded a peasant village in Bockholm, and destroyed many houses. It is added that Danish creirs have landed in different parts of the coasts, and carried off numbers of the inhabitants as prisoners. The Schleswig-Holstein Bank has trans ferred its offices from Flensburg to Altona. BELGlUM.—Bnussaut, APRIL 12.—At the sitting 1 of the second chamber yesterday, the Minister of 'Hennes. presented a projeit of law for a supplementary loan of 200,000 francs for the fabrication of copper money, and for the suspension of several ordinances of the law relative to differential duties. His Majesty has placed the sum of ten thousand francs in the hands of the burgomaster of Brussels, as a subscription to the sum now being raised in aid of the hospitals. 11OLLAND.—TIiE HAGUE, APRIL 12.—1 t is said that Prince MetterMch intends to set out for London on Saturday next. The Journal d, Limbourg states that it has received, from an authentic source, the fellowingetatesuents, respecting the pr..jects of reform of the fundamental law : The electoral census will be fixed at 20 to 222. The King will no longer exercise absolute authority in the colonies. The lint chamber will be elective, like the Belgian senate. Nearly all the articles of the treaty will be revised. The provisional courts of justice will be diminished to the num ber pneitively necessary for the course of judicature. The same journal states that M. Luzar will quit the ministry of the interior, which will be undertaken by M. Thorbicke, and that AL de liempenaer will take the porttolio of finance. POLAND.—CRACOW, APRIL B.—Baron Krieg, the imperial commiaary, published a proclamation on the 6th anruversary, that, in compliance with the wishes of the deputations of the inhabitants, he sanctions the formation of a committee of the citizens, which shall serve as intermediary between the people and t hel government, and which shall represent to the latter the wishes of dye people. 3ith F.—lAeuL W.

The 17th annual meeting of the proprietors of this institution was held yevterday in the new Assembly-room. His Grace the Archbishop of Cabterbury presided, sad was supported by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Lichfield, the Marquis of Chol mondeley, Lord ltadatork, the Rev. Dr. Shepherd , Areh deation Bale, Sir Benjamin Brodie, Mr. H. Purnell, Mr. W. Cotton, and the Rev. Dr. Jelf, Principal of the College. llie Grace having formally opened the proceediegs, The Dean of FACULTY read the report. The general conduct and diligence of the pupils had been such as to merit the approbation of the principals. In the theological deportment there had been a considerable extensiou, and a corresponding increase had been made in the medical and applied sciences. The rooms about to be opened in the new wing of the building would afford the necessary ac commodetion for this purpose. The number of matriculated students was : in the theological department, 50 ; in the department of general literature and science, 156 ; in the applied sciences, 71 ; in the medical department, 137 ; is general departments, 5 ; making a total 01 419. There were also occasional students in the various classes, exclusive of the medical, 44 ; and in the medi cal class 41. At the last examination for Bache lors of Arts degrees at Cambridge, 16 out of 21 can didates educated at King's College were successful. Of that number, 9 were wranglers and 4 optimes. The fourth wrangler was also the second South's priueman. At Oxford a former student had become a fellow of Barter College. At Addiscombe a pupil had also obtained the principal mathematical prize. The report of the medical department was extremely favourable: the college continued to send forth men into the world qualified both professionally and morally tor their import.mt duties. King'. College Hospital was still, notwithstanding its limited funds, unremitting in its assistance to the sick poor. The report further alluded to the loss the institution had sustained by the lamented deaths of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, of the Marquis of Bute, and of Sir Charles Price, but congratulated the pro prietors on the fact of the present archbishop,who had kindly undertaken the presidency, being one who was eminently fitted for the dace. The financial statement wan bra. Ay as follows :—The gross receipts arising out of the various de partments amounted to 30,9091. ss. 2d. ; the expenditure being 30,4671. Is. sd. The report was adopted unanimously. The usual officers of the college having been formally re appointed, The Bishop of LONDON moved a vote of thanks to his Grace the Archbishop for presiding, and in doing so ob served, that for many scars during the lifetime of the late archbishop a similar task had devolve! upou hint. Their late distinguished visitor had, from the very commence ment, fostered the college, and by eiery possible means pro moted its interest. He hailed the presence of his successor in office as a token of what they would receive from his grace. The archiepiscopal chair which his grace filled, was a position peculiarly fitted to the superintendence of ass in stitution having fur its object the inculcation of sound doc trines of their venerated church. So long, he was sure, as such was the object of King's College, his grace's support might he relied upon. The Bishop of - Licorrerm seconded the resolution, which was ca'r cd unanimously. The Archbishop of CANTEIIDUDY returned thanks. He said he felt much obliged by the compliment raid him, and thoug'it himself very fortunate to hear so favourable a re port on the first occasion of his presiding ; a r.sult no doubt attributed to the great care and attention his respected pre decessor had exhibited towards the institution. The fact of 16 out of 21 candidates having been succor; ful at a recent ex amination at one of our universities, was a proof of the excel lence of the preparatory education imparted at King's Col lege. Such a degree of success was, he might be permitted to add, a fact, singular when comparison was made with the other great schools of the country. There was one subject, however. more prominent in his mind than any other. He could not help asking why he should himself he there, or what lie had done in support of the college, which entitled him to fill that place in its councils for many years so wor'hily occupied by his late lamented predecessor in the archiepiscopal see of Can terbury. All be could say in conclusion was, that that dis tinguished aid much lamented divine had left him an ex. ample which he would do all in his power to imitate. (Hear.) The institution had been commenced, fostered, and firmly established by his predecessor, and it remained for him to see its Vessings distributed. As long as health and strength remained with him he would contribute as tar as lay in his power to its aid and extension. (Hear.) The meeting then broke up. The vacancies in the council caused by the deaths or Sir Charles Price an 1 the Marquis of Bute have been filled up by the appointment of the Mar quis of Cholmondeley and Lord Radstock. TILE CHARTIST CONVENTION. The delegates re-assembled yesterday afternoon, at the usual hour. Mr. M'Grath presided. On the name of Mr. 13. O'Brien being called,Mr.Wit retez repeated his former statement relative to the resigna tion of that gentleman,—which fact had been announced at a meeting at Lambeth. Some discussion ensued upon the subject, and a vote of censure upon Mr. O'Brien for his un courteous treatment of the convention was proposed, but not carried. Mr. WALTER brought up the report of the committee ap pointed to draw up en address from the eonvention to the trades' union, calling upon them for their co-operation. The report was received on the motion of Mr. ADAPIN. Several delegates stated they had received letters, from which they learned that important meetings had been held in various parts of the country in support of the convention. At a meeting at Aberdeen, attended by 6,000 persons, it was resolved that a national guard should be formed, and a considerable number of persons bad enrolled their names in it. Mr. ERNEST JONES then moved the resolution of which he had given notice, for the memorial to the Queen. lie proposed it as the last step, as they had resolved to petition the House of Commons no more, considering that then peti tion had been virtually rejected by that house. Mr. WALTER seconded the resolution, which was adopted unanimously. Mr. DONOVAN then moved that Mr. O'Connor be requested to present a bill in favour of the People's Charter, some day before the 24th inst. Mr. Wie gaunt and Mr. WEST opposed the motion, which was eventually withdrawn. It was then resolved, on the motion of Mr. E. JONES, to form a committee to draw up a series of tracts for publica tion, which was also agreed to, as well as the appointment of a finance committee in furtheraace of the object. The re spective sums of 11. and Its. were announced a, having been received towards the funds from gentlemen in the room ; and the delegates were subsequently nearly overwhelmed by a very liberal shower of donations (tn silver and copper coin) from the spectators above. Mr. ASHTON thought that the distribution of tracts among the soldiery and police would have a very beneficial effect. He was in conversation on the preceding night with a soldier, who had told him that there were numbers in the army who considered themselves in a state of slavery; and who, in common with himself, believed that a great and important change was necessary in its constitution. The soldier added, that if he and his comrades had been called upon, as they expected, to fire upon the people last Monday, they would have refused to do so. This announcement was received with loud cheers. After some conversation relative to the proposed departure of Mr. E. Jones, to Scotland, as a missionary (which sou decided on), the convention adjourned to this day. leTil court - - ' SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL, —The quarterly general court of this corporation was held yes entity afternoon, at 7i, King William-street.
