The removal of la smanin portion of the existing population willrender sem any the adoption of improved methods of ma :=t. The development of the reso urces of our or of any country to which the expatriated mamigrate, will increase the foreign demand for productions of Ireland. It is immaterial whether this effect be produced directly by tho demand for provisions which the wants of new settlements will for a term of years create, or indirectly by the new markets for British manufactures opened in new or increasing settlements, adding to the wealth, numbers, and con sumption of our manufacturing dlatricts. Probably both agencies will be called into play. But either will stimulate the profitable employment of Irish lands; the diminished number of Irish labourers will increase the earnings of theme who remain ; more work and better pay will beget habits of more con tinuous industry, a taste for saving and co:nfort. Population will again increase, but inventive industry and the consumers of its productions will also have increased. Thus will a temporary diminution of the sum of population prepare - Ireland for the sup port of a much larger population than at pre sent. And the effects of the process will be felt long before the actual amount of population is re duced to what the land could at present comfortably support. This is no mere hypothetical speculation : it is an exact description of the process by, which the settlement of Englishmen and Scotchmen in the colo- Dies and the United States has enabled England and Scotland to support populations so much more dense, and at the same time enjoying so much more average comfort than before the formation of these settlements. The opponents of emigration therefore take an exaggerated estimate of the numbers who require to emigrate. They exaggerate in like meaner the coat. One learned and indefatigable writer tells us that it costs so much to set down a family in the far west of Canada, and that so mach more will be required to main tain them till they can reclaim from the woods enough of land to support them ; and that, therefore, emigration on any . large scale is impossible. It so happens that in the district pitched upon ' there is at present no demand for labour; families sent thither must either pay the whole of their own travelling expenses or have them de frayed from this side of the water; and when there they must set to work an land of their own or remain weemployed. If we will persist in sending more labourers to provinces where at this time they are not seeded, of course, we mus t expect to incur this ex . But, at present, a family may be landed in anpart of Australia at little, if any, more cost than it can be transferred to Upper Canada: the settlers and others interested in these colonies are willing to bear part of the expense of the voyage; and if the emigrant ships are sent not ex clusively to Sydney, Port Phillip, and Adelaide, but to the numerous minor ports most accessible to the settlers, the stockholders will meet the emigrants there, defray all their expenses to the interior, and be ready on such terms to give immediate employ ment to large numbers. The construction of the Maine and Portland Railway affords at present em ployment to a considerable number of labourers ; and the opening of the eastern townships of Canada by ' its means will give an impetus to settlement that will speedily call fora largely-increased supply of labour in I that district. This district is accessible at less (oat than ° Upper Canada, and the demand for labourers will re lieve us of the expense of maintaining them till they can bring into cultivation lands of their own. Similar openings for emitcrants maybe made by promoting the railways now projected in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the portion of Canada towards Quebec. Their construction, and the opening of the St. Lawrence navigation to the flags of all nations will promote similar undertakings in Upper Canada. The demand for an augmented population will then be felt as strongly in these colonies as in those of Australia, and the present cost of landing and settling emigrants will be proportionally diminished. If a just estimate is taken of the kind and amount of extraordinary emigration that is required fir the relief of Ireland, it wal be found by no means so great or so costly as to render it impracticable. But at the same time care mast be taken not to mis apprehend the mode in which emigration is to afford relief, or the extent to which it will afford it. Other local social reforms in Ireland must be combined with it if it is to produce real and permanent good ; and sound judgment must be exer cised in directing the stream of temporary extraordi nary emigration to those countries where it can be most rapidly and profitably absorbed. If this is not attended to one-half the benefit of emigration—the calling of new and extended markets for home pro duce into existence, so as to increase the means of profitable employment in this country—will be lost. And what is of infinitely more consequence, if this is not attended to the luckless emigrants will only be landed on a distant shore to perish for want ; the effects of heartless and inconsiderate evictions will only be removed from public covidesses to diminish the horror now excited by seek resesaings. We are as hostile to oestrallealion, to pommel. monopoly or interference, as any ; bat we cannot be blind to the experiments and see ivies of the time, which so clearly show the sisgrees oboes sod in justice which frequently arise free laming altogether to individual care and individual intermits the supply of a great capital like London with some of the first necessities of life. Let as take, for example, the supply of London with water. Let us consider the sums of matey sunk, the annual charge raised from the citizens, the defects of the managemsnt,the 'confiners of the supply, and the impurity of the water, and it is impossible not to be monstrously dissatisfied with the imperfect and expensive manner in which a great and im portant a duty to the public is performed. Any idea or hope of remedy is at once precluded, by the first glance dale enormity of vested rights which it would be necessary to purchase in order to effect a reform. Government, or a committee, parliamentary or muni cipal, could now provide London with water at ball the expense, and with ten times the profusion of its present superannuated machinery. But how can such a task b:i nd at ei t: ni im pd, when the first step most be to buy or • • the owners of the mach' ? 1U removal of the filth of our sewers is almost as important an object as the supply of water. A com plete plan for this removal ought to be the result of general scientific consideration, and to be managed some body charged with the interests of the exclusively. Yet one of our first journals is dllis mouring to have this important duty, or a portion of it, made over at once to a private =sivalcia will at coos expend capital, erect Mtn create a mated interest, as much in the way age improvement, as the great water com panies afford in the way of a complete re form and economy in the supply of water. It were better far that the Thames should remain a year longer as it is, than, with the levels of London yet unsurveyed, we should mortgage and make! away the means of general improvement and . ecientile sewerage, into the hands of a company which merely wants to get a dividend by fattening the cabbages of Hounslow by the emptying of our London ewers:. Light is another of the great moralities of life r 1 important not only for rendering business and wayfaring possible, but for security and for military ends. We are now depende nt on the ps companies for the supply et this first necessity, and there can be little doubt that private competition, uncontrolled and isnenquired into by the legislature, has not as yet sup r Idles to the c apital or any portionof it withthe per and economy that might be desired. Several of the London parishes are, we see, bully enquiring into the matter ; and we publish, in another column, the report of a meeting in Bishopsgate ward en the subject Live . rpool has gone ahead of London in this par ticular, end a lesson might be learned by the dwellers on the Thames from the dwellers on the Mersey.

IM social as in bodily diseases, erica ars but too apt to run after • catholirope, or oatmeal medicine. They will be cured, and that at ones by • nostrum, w ithout the self-denial and ca reful attention to die tetic and other prudential maims which mast co operate with medicine to effect a cure. This is strikingly exemplified in the vacillating judgments formed and expresse d b y individuals, respecting the efficacy of emigration as a remedy for the social evils of Ireland. Both those who for the time being are advocates of emigration, and those who deny its advantages, are apt to argue the question too mach on the assemption that it is to operate alone and unaided by other ap pliances. Some zealous promoters of emigration *driblets too mach to it, overlook all difficulties in the waT f carrying it into execution ; and their antagonists, seeking rather to expose their exaggera tes, than to arrive at sound conclusions, compla cently assume that because emigration cannot work all the wonders that have been attributed to it, lid because human beings cannot be moved from one country to another without some cost and trouble, there is no use in thinking about it. Emigration, to be of any use to Ireland, must be con ducted—at present, at lead, and probably for some time to come—on a larger seek, and in a more systematic manner than is necemary on this side of the water. The population and the means of 'abid ance and employment in England and Scotland are not so disproportionate that the natural and sponta aeons emigration which is always going on in large societies should not be sufficient to preserve their due balance. It is greatly for the ad vantage even of this island, that there should be a oxi dant stream of adventurous individuals pomessed of limited means, or of no means at all, flowing out of it, and setting in upon the colonies. Bet the natural enterprise of Scotch and Englishmen, added to the zealous beating up for recruits, which parties con nected with Australia are now putting in practice f r om Cornwall to Caithness, will ensure this dream's being kept at a volume sufficient to preserve the eco nomical health of the country. When wetalk co theeon boxy ofemigration ass remedy for the ills of Ireland, we contemplate the dislocation of an accumulated s lot surplus population, that requires a strong effort to e it in motion, end no small effort of judgment to con duct its transport and distribution in a manner con sistent with the dictates of common humanity. When such emigration is proposed as a remedy for Irish suffering, it must always be kept in mind that its eosin usefulness will consist in its facilitating the improvement of the country from which the emigrants are carried. If Ireland is to be left in every respect ea it is now, bating the expatriation of a large proportion of its inhabitants, only a few years would pass over our heads before we found ourselves ex actly where we are. If the manner in which the natural resources of the country have hitherto been turned to account, and the habits which have hitherto prevailed and still to a great extent prevail there, are to remain unaltered, emigration will onIT act as a stimulus to increase the rapidity with which population augments. We want emigration to af ford room for musing land into farms, not large in the English acceptation of the "plusse, but large enough to admit of their being cultivated in snob a manner as will make them produce ample food for sll the inhabitants of the island, and something over to export, without taking the bread out of the mouthed a part of the population. We want to have the num ber of inhabitants so reduced that the land at present cultivated or susceptible of beingimmediately brought under profitable cultivation will give full employ ment throughout the year to those who remain. Keeping these considerations in view, it is easy to THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1848. lion in ceder to glee the sensaussre 01 Liverpool the bete ! that might arise from combined action. Before the Livetpool Mardian Gas Company started, the two existing Liverpool companies charged at the rate of twelve 'billings per 1,000 cubic feet for gas. Remonstrances, threats of opposition, and ulti mately the formation of the Guardian Company had the effect of reducing the charge to six shillings the 1,000 feet, which the existing companies declared in evidence to be ruinously low. Not satisfied with this redaction the Guardian Company proceeded to par liament in 1846, and, though they lost their bill, com pelled their opponents to a further reduction to 4s. Gd. In 1847, the Guardian Company issued a fresh pro spectus offering gas at 3s. Bd. the 1.000 feet, and proved clearly in evidence before the government commissioners that a further reduction to 2s. 6d. could be effected on a certain increase in consumption which was anticipated speedily to follow the reduced prices. And so satisfied were the public of the correctness of the calculations on which the evidence was founded, that a sufficiency of shares was rapidly bought up to enable the company to proceed to parliament, where obstacles arising !TOM some secret influences were sufficiently strong to oblige them to withdraw their bill on the terms already stated ; so that the Liverpool consumers for the present continue to pay 4s. Od, per 1,000 feet for gar, equal to an illuminating power of 16 candles, instead of getting, as they expected—had their bill been carried—gas of a similar quality at some thing like half the price, after allowing the shareholders seven and a half per cent. on the capital invested in the undertaking. While, according to the evidence before the govern ment commissionets at Liverpool, gas of an Maud eating power of sixteen candles can b 3 produced at 12s. 61. the 1100 feet, after paying 6 per cent. [del capital invested in the manufacture, the consumers of Loudon are paying 6s. for gas not quite equal to twelve candles. Latteey some of the London com panies have endeavoured to meet the complaintsl against the quality, by increasing the quantity in a degree that has added 25 per cent. to the quarterly bills of the consumers, from the over amount of gas consumed without an increase in the number of burners—an ingenious mode of giving additional light to citizens' domiciles at the expense of their pockets. We cannot but think that the supply of light and of water, as well as sewerage, paving, and other matters intimately connected with public and municipal secu rity and comfort, ought to come under the inspection and consideration of the sanitary authorities, be these municipal, or be they central, or be they, u they ought. a combination of both. It is quite monstrous that Smithfield and its purlieus should bo able to resist all the rational efforts made for its removal, and that our city cemeteries should be equally puissant to perpetuate their deadly nuisance. An article in the Express of Saturday last showed how fearfully mortality and disease, in proportion to the populatioa, are increasing in Lmdon, not only from year to year, but from epoch toepoch. We need not look far fo r the causes. It consists in the great cause, that all interes's are better prote'ted in the country than the public in terests, aa.d that in municipal, as well as in political life, the welfare of the many is invariably sacrificed to the privileges and piss of the few. Ir required no great powers of penetration to fore see the universal discontent which the postponement of the repeal of the navigation laws would engender in Canada. We have it now manifested in the menacing and repeated murmurs with which every oackor from Halifax comes freighted. and for which. considering the magnitude of the issues which are involved in the question, we can find no fault with the people of the colonies. What they want is a simple matter of justice, and the imperial government should listen with all the more alacrity to their appeal, seeing that what they claim as a matter of right is but a supplement to the liberal commercial policy on which it has embarked, and into which, to some extent, it has dragged Canada along with it. So long as the Canadians had more or lets a mono poly of the British market, this monopoly could be urged as a compensation for any injury which they might suffer from the restrictions which surrounded the navigation of the St. Lawrence. Thtee rebtric tions always operated adversely to the culling trade of Canada, a trade mond to none in the colony in 'Point of importance • but the preference given to the 1 Canadian over the American exporter in the English market, was supposed to leave the balance of advan times in favour of the colonist. Now, however, that no mach preference exists—now that the Canadian exporter ' finds the American farmer on a footing of equality with him in a market which was formerly almost en tirely his own—now, in short, ihat the consideration for which he submitted to certain di.abilities is withdrawn, what more reasonable than that he should imuel the extinction of the disabilities? This is seemeary in order to carry out our own policy, of the partial and incomplete character of which the present position of Canada is an unhappy (exemplification. We found Canada enjoying a pie 'Renee in our markets over the U,.ited States—we ed to put the two on a footing of equality, and Cele i ft off with giving the United States a prefer ence over Canada. This was certainly . not our intention, but it is smother of the many instances which we have had to nosed of the incongruous results of our patchwork legislation. For the navigation laws,in their connexion with the St. Lawrence, operate u a heavy tax upon Canadian produce imported into England. The Ca talan farmer would not be worse off than be is at pre sent.if we repealed the navigation laws and taxed his prance to the extent to which they enhance its price in roar markets. In the case supposed, who could say that he would be on a footing of equality with the American ? And yet the real came is only the supposed one in dis guise; at any rate, in their consequences they would be alike. This is a clear case for interference on the part of the protectionists, who seem to have taken the welfare of the colonies into their special keeping. Their object is to put the colonist in our maikets on a superior footing to that of the foreigner. The first step towards this, in the case of the Canadian, is to put him on a footing of ecinality with his competitor • and, as that cannot now be done by legis la ting agaiy et the competitor, the only way to effect it is by legislating in favour of the Canadian. In other words, as there is now no hope of taxing American corn, their first step towards doing justice to Canada should be to remove restric tions which operate as a virtual tax upon Canadian produce. But it is not alone in the preference which we tht give the foreigner over the fellow-subject, that the Canadian finds just cause of complaint. As already hinted, in addition to operating as a tax upon its exports, the navigation laws injuriously affect an in ternal trade, which is of vital interest to the pro vince, and it is chiefly to their effect upon the carrying trade of the colony that we now wish to invite the attention of our readers. The Canadians,as we shall show, are play ing for a stake, the magnitud e and imp ortance of which, when appreciated, will more than account for the satiety and uneasiness which they may exhibit in 'arigtoit. and by far the better potion of Canada le. to aintents and purposes, an in lan d country. In the St. Lawrence, however, it possesses a great saws' highway to the ocean. But the navigation of this noble stream is obstructed by obstacles, sem Fof which are of an insurmountable chamber. For fully half the year its channel is blocked up 1 the frosts of winter, a di ffi culty which no proba ble amelioration of temperature will ever suffice to re- 1 MOM The ether impediments to its navigation are of a different character, and have, one after another, been either r emoved or avoided by the enterprise of Lrli zeines. the Between Montreal and Kingston, com shoat 100 miles of its course, it is frequently t ele ard pre l o lit t pend e o v os en ra t p o ids, the som: a of adventurous " Matsu& boat." The first rapid encountered on amending the river is that of Lachine, immediately above Moatresl. This obstruction, which is one of the most serious of all, is avoided by the Lachine Canal, which proceeds, for nine mike, from the city to Lake St. Louis. The next rapid is about thirty miles further up, at the point where Lake St. Louis is Loaned by the confluence of the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence. It is designated the " Cascades " and is cgtogether with another, a little fu rther up, as the "Cedars; and still another, a few miles further up, by the Beanharnois Canal, smiting Lake St. Louis with Lake St. Francis. At the head of this latter lake is Cornwall, the first border town of Canada West, a short distance above which is the great rapid, named by the habitant , the ..Longue Sau l t " rapid. To avoid this, the St. Law rence canal has been constructed between Cornwall and Dickenson's-ferry, a distance of 11 alba Above Dickensoa'a-ferry there are sseseal minor= but no us su ffi ciently stroll to offer any v e ry ob structien to the navigation of the river from that point to up to Kingston. F%satn this town, which is at its foot, the head of Lake Ontario, the navigation is unimpeded , bu t between that lake and Lake Erie it meets with its last formidable interruption in the Falls of Niagara. To overcom e this the Welland Canal has been constructed, extending . from St. Catherine's, on Lake ()uteri°, to a point on the Canada side of Lake Erie, some distance above the American town of Buffalo. Once on Lake Erie, the course is clear and open for more than a thousand miles to the Far West. Now the canals, which we have here mentioned li n such rapid succession, although short, are works I of great magnitude, inasmuch as they are all ship canals. To construct them, one after another, has consumed much time and treasure, the province pledging its credit to the extent of a million and a half sterling, as late as 1841, for their final com pletion. So great an expense would not have been incurred by so young a country, unless come very important object had been in view. Let us now see what that object in reality was. A slight acquaintance w;th the geography of this portion of America will convince any one of the im portant part which the great lakes are yet destined to play, both in the internal commerce and the ex port trade of the continent. Extending one after another in a devious cour.e, and in magnificent dimes 'ion, they form not so much the media of separation as the links of connexion between vast and fertile re gions, in comparison with which most European king doms sink in point of extent into insignificance. Their northern shores form the boundary of Canada West, which province thus possesses a freshwater-lake coast of nearly fifteen hundred miles! On their southern side no less than seven states of the Union are either bounded by, or abut upon, them, the Ame rican lake coast, including the two shores of Lake Michigan, entirely within American territory, being upwards of 2,000 miles in length? Now the whole of this vast region skirting the lakes on their southern side is a grain-growing tract, producing wheat, Indian corn, barley, rye, oats, potatoes, turnips, live stock, and fruit in abun dance. At its western extremity it is also found to be rich and varied in its mineral resources. The por tion of Owed' resting upon the lakes is fertile to a de gree, producing everything here enumerated in as great abundance as they are produced in on the other side, until the northern shore of Lake Huron is reached, along which, as well as along Lake Superior, the country is less adapted for agricultural purposes. It is also to be borne in mind that, from its nature,pusition, and resources, the whole of this fertile region on both sides of the lakes must remain chiefly agricultural and miniug, as re gards its interests and pursuits, depending for its supplies of mmufectured articles upon ether sources, whither it will send, in exchange for them, its surplus productions. In this mutual exchange are the con stituent elements of a great trade, and it is in effect ing it that the carrying trade will be brought into requisition. It was net, therefore, with a view to facilitating the carrying trade of Canada alone that the works already alluded to were either under iteken er completed. The Canadians had a far higher game in view when, for this purpose, they saddled themselves with a burdensome and inconvenient debt. The carrying trade of the whole north-west was that which they aimed at securing—that not only of Canada, but of all the industrious communities on the ' southern side of the lakes. What that trade is yet likely to be, and the rapidity with which it is certain to increase, may be bettor appreciated when we re collect that, in addition to Canada on the one side, the States of the Union, which border the lakes on the other, are Wisconsln Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York. It was to secure the carrying trade of this magnifi cent region, by making the St. Lawrence its most emeticable highway to the °pear. that all the natural impediments to the navigation of that river, which it was in their power to remove, have been removed, at great labour and no little cost, by the Canadians. Yet this is the trade which they allege is imperilled by the continuance of the navigation laws. Colette these laws are speedily repealed they foresee that all their labour and all their expenditure will have been I thrown away, and that the prize at which they aimed will be securely grasped by a rival, who will not consent to share it with them. Is it any wonder that, with such hopes menaced with frustration, and such prospects darkened by eland, they should feel anxious and restless as to the tame?

Yet even at second-band the practical joke is a good one—for uneconerned spectators. Mr. CHAMBERS'S canvass looked as prosperous as heart could wish ; his troops were staunch, and their officers confident of success; all were eager for the fray, when on the battle's eve came a letter from their general, telling them he would take no part in the fight. Mr. CHAM BERS assigns as his reasons for running away, that he was brought too late into the field, to have any but a narrow chance of emcee's, and that he has been assured the contest would engeader much bitter feeling. The conveners of committees in his` terest, on receiving this unexpected missive, pass resolu- tion to the effect that "from the result of the can vass which had already been made in the different wards, they felt quite confident of Mr. Caimans's success," and then dissolve themselves. It is impossible for any man who knows ROBERT CHAMBERS to be long or seriously angry with him. Nevertheless, we suspect his canvassers are this mo ment anything but kindly disposed towards him. As to the late period at which he was brought into the field, he knew of it when be accepted the nomination; and u to the bitter feeling likely to be t mgendered by the contest, to withdraw on such a pretext is to set a precedent for abandoning all municipal and other peb- I lic honours to the shrews, vixens, and other ill-condi tioned among mankind. His late supporters are not I unlikely to tell him, u Othello told Curio, that "they mach esteem him," and to add, in like manner, " Never more be officer of mine." The Scotch are a musical nation ; doubtless more than one of Mr. Cuameuts's "conveners" hummed when his letter was read the well-known lines from " Johnnie Cope," " Said Lord Mark Her, ye are ea blot* To bring the news o' your sin defeat." In so far as Edinburgh and its municipality are concerned, this evaporation of a provost designatus concerns no metal but the modern Athenians. But the columns of the Edinburgh newspapers contain some indications of the character of the opposition which frightened Mr. CHAMBERS'S visions of ambition out of him, that invest it with a wider interest. One of the supporters of Mr. JOHNSTON (Mr. Cautunes's rival in the contest for the chief ma gistracy), when nominating a councillor at a ward meeting, said, " He was inclined to support him (his nominee) in connexion with Mr. JOHNSTON, the one belonging to the established the other to the free, church, because he thought them both men warmly attached to the interests of truth, as maintain ed in those different churches." Simple men know only of one kind of truth; but the orator from whom we quote has • peculiar kind of truth—truth as maintained by two Scotch skerehea The established church of Scotland, and the maim from it who call themselves free—the ingressive, as Lord MELOUND has shown, of the lion's share of the government grants for promoting education In Scotland—have combined to oust from the chief magistracy of Edinburgh one of the most di s tinguished promoters of unsectarian education in Scotland. Mr. JOHNSTON comes forward to claim the civic chair of Edinburgh beta een the bond church and the free, as RICHARD 111. came forward to claim the throne of England, " between two grave di vines?' The Scotsman unequivocally declares that it is the odium theologicum that stirred up the opposi tion to Mr. CHAMBERS. and' A cry was got up," says our contemporary, " joined in by certain of our very loudest liberals and voluntaries, that Mr. CHAM BERS should be excluded from the proustahip, on the ground that they were not satisfied that all his theolo gical opinions coincided with theirs—drawing their insinuations from the supposed tendency of a book which they never read, and he never wrote." No wonder Mr. CHAMBERS shrunk from a contest in which, as author and publisher, he might have found all his books, one after another, entend in the index expuryaturins of the allied inquisitors of the free and the residuary kirks. The absurd termination of the Edinburgh contest fur the office of provost shows the amount of the power possessed by a maims of the clergy in Scotland, and the meddling spirit by which they are animated. In dications of their wish to dictate and domineer in temporal concerns had bean given before this. The extensive purchase of shares in certain railways by lay and clerical theologians to make votes for the /Jur pr,se of deciding . the question of Sunday travelling, somewhat surprised the dwellers south of the Tweed. But still more are they astonished at the sudden truce between the established and free churches, whose mutual and envenomed denunciations arc still ringing in their ears, and their harmonious co-operation to keep out of the magistracy a min whom they suspect of not being very warmly devoted to either. In this the rival churches have adopted the policy ascribed by Bailie NICOL /AMIE to the Highlanders of his day—" They may gi'e each other a stab wi a dirk, or a slash wi a claymore, but they'll aye join in the lang run against all who have purses in their pockets, and breeks on their hinder ends." Our Seoteh countrymen may rest assured, that so long as they allow themselves to be priest-ridden in matters relating to railway management, and parliamentary and municipal elections, they will frequently find the hierarchies of the free and established kirks inter mitting their angry brawls, to extract money from the pockets of the reluctant laity, and put down every one who ventures to call in question the right divine of presbytery. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY, 0.30 Y.Y. In the Assembly, to-day, M. Bastide, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to some questions put to him, read a sort of manifesto on the present state of the foreign relations of France. Ile said that tha position of the country with relation to foreign states has never since February been better than at present. That France bad contributed to the pacific solution of the Schleswig question ; that she had induced Russia to give a separate administration to the grand duchy of Posen ; that she had the best relations with those Germanic states which had adopted democratic forms; that she had brought the war in Sicily to a termina tion ; that her mediation had been accepted in Upper Italy, where difficulties had only arisen as to the place a the conferences, but that no serious dissent had arisen, that the negotiations wero interrupted by the insurrection of Vienna, but that they could be resumed, and that the best result might Ir:expected. The project for proroguing the Assembly front the 15th inst. to 11th December was discussed. The committee rejected the proposition, but recom mend, nevertheless, a temporary suspension of the session of the Assembly. Gen. Carsignac announced that the government remained neuter on this question, but had no tears for the tranquillity of the country in case of an ad journment. On a division there appeared a3ainst the adjournment 507, and in favour of it 214. Nothing further of interest took place up to the time our reporter closed his despatches. ITALY. The National Saroisien of the 3rd hid. states that a rumour was current at Turin that a fight had taken place near Piacenza, between the Pwdmontese and Austrians. General Pepe is said to have driven back the Austrians as far as Padua, and taken 8 cannon. The Sardinian minister has declared in the Chamher of Deputies of Turin, on the 2nd inst., that the King of Sardinia would accept of no other than the Anglo- French mediation. The (]pinion of Turin of the 3rd inst. states that, notwithstanding the entrance of the Austrians at Chi avenna, the insurrection extends in Lombardy. Col. Apice has taken the steamer on the Lego Maggiore ; 2,000 of his men drove the Austrians from Lucino on the let, and a part of that force then proceeded to Como. The SarcUnian fleet had cast anchor before Venice. A correspondence took place immediately between Rear-Admiral Albini and the Austrian Ad miral.

For it: Messrs.

That ap peared to be the only obstacle in their w iv.—Mr. Brand seconded the motion, which was also lost —The Attorney- General next moved : That his excellency be requested to give instructions for the intro. duction of an ordinance renewing the Tax Ordinance of 187 from the 30th of September, 1848, tothe WM of June, 1 8 49, unless In the meas. time a tax oidizunace be pesenL The Chief Justice seconded that resolution.

Because the general distress prevailing throughout the colony is so great, that it is utterly unable to continue the prevent rate of expenditure. 2nd. Because this distress has not been produced by the ordinary fluctuations of enmmere, but by the acts of her Majesty s government. 3rd. Because at the time the said tied list woo renewed, the colonial legislature conaidered that the faith of her Majesty's government and of the imperial parliament wag pledged to the exclusion of sugar , produced by slave lab or, and they never contensolated tho possibility of that faith being broken. 4th. Because the compact fur the renewal of the civil list, haring been vim sted by her Majesty's government, is no longer hinting or the cob nista; and it in bath unjust and unreasonable to expect the eolonyto maintain the compret, when, by its violation, on the part of her Is. trsrtfoveroment, the reaources of the colony have been M y curtailed—Wm.

The absurd system of egistasors hitherto prevailing, under which the law, as well se the fady kll to bejudged by the meson, who also tech an equal pert with the learned judges on the bench in awarding the punishment for each cafe of guilt, will henceforth come, and the simpler task devolve upon the jurors of confining their inquiries to the fact charged against the primer, leaving the law and sentator entirely in Ihe hat &of the Judges.

FRANCE.—ABD-EL-ICADER.—We announced yea terday the departure of Abd-el-Kader from Pau on Thurs day last for his new residence near Nantes.

On Friday the mayor and muni cipal council visited the prisoner, being introduced to him by Capt. Fournier of the staff, whn is Appointed by the go vernment to attend him during the whole of his journey from Pau to Amboise. Oa Saturday evening Abd-el-Kadar was prevailed upon to go to the theatre. He was rewired by the audience with every mark of respect, which, in mita him of his oriental gravity, he evidently showed afforded great satisfaction. He did not retire until the whole of the performances were finished. Re was to leave Bordeaux cm Sunday morning. WEST COAST OF AFRICA.—ST. PAUL DE LOANDO, SIIPT.—The Portuguese corvette Oito de Junho ar rived here about the middle of tut month, with a new governor and anew commander-in-chief of the naval forces, nape unexpectedly the late worthy and respected chiefs Oil whom a great stop had been put to the slave-trade by Portuguese cruisers. Fears are entertained that we shall not look on their like again, for they were most zealous in assisting our commodore to abolish thts traffic, and instants h a ve occurred of slavers, fearing the vengeince of the Go vernor of Loando, running down to an rote of to avoid being taken by a Portuguese cruiser, in s i g ht at the sometime.

AUSTRIA.—The intelligence from Vienna of the 3rd inst. is to the effect that that capital was in as quiet a state as could b‘ expected, after the late scenes witnessed there. Several houses in Vienna have been plundered by the soldiery. It is said that in most instances it was impossible to prevent them, as the aggression generally came from ',hose houses which were forcibly entered, and, as • natural con sequence, robbed of their contents. Wherever houses were entered for the mere purpose of plunder, it is stated that the culprits were immediately shot. The battle between the Hungarians and Austrians, which ended in the repulse of the former, is said to have been very sanguinary. It was supposed that the Hungarian army had proceeded against General Simonich, who though once beaten had reappeared with 10,000 Austrians in Hungary, coming from Galicia. Accounts from Presbarg of the 31st ult. state that active preparations were being made by the Hungarians to defend that town. FRANKFORT.—In the sitting of the German parliament on the 3rd inst. the motion of the com mittee on Austrian affairs was carried, to the following effect : The National Assembly resolves to call upon the imperial ministry to take all possible care—l. That the imperial com missaries make a point of obtaining full oonsideration and re cognition for the German central power in all quarters. 2. That everywhere in Austria they may endeavour to pro. tent the interests of Oertaany. 3. That they may exert the whole of their influence to disengage the complexities of Austria in a peaceful way, and without bloodshed. 4. And that finally, whatever this irlinopein , nl may result in, they may take under protection and defend from every attack the rights and libettces awarded to the AUStIO-OULIIIII races In the month. of March end May. PRUSSIA.—The Berlin journals of the 6th inst. have reached us, but they contain nothing further re scting the ministerial crisis. COLONIAL. JAMAICA.—The season had been excellent although the regular October rains bad not begun at the time the mad was despatched, sormaional showers had visited the whole island, and been of great benefit.
