The jaurnals this morning are esptcialls dcsitutc of intelligt nee of any general interest. Among the causes ascribed for the sadden improvement of the funds yesterday was a report which prevailed that M. Achiile Fould, the eminent banker and financier, had axepted the Ministry of Finances, and that M. Gamier Pages would replace M. Arago is the Ministry of Marine. This report had no other foundation than the fact that M. Fould has been charged to prepare for the Mi nister of Fill ailLe a report, in which he has pointed out practical means of remedying the crisis which we are going through. The tleciiims for the national guard proceeded yes terday with the utmost tranquillity, and in a manner which seemed to give general satisfaction to the moderate party. M. BarWs has been elected colonel of the 12th Legion of the national guard, by a large majority. In the 11th Legion, on a second ballot, M. Quinet was elected. M. Clement Thomas has been elected colonel of the 2nd Legiou, and M. Hingray, colonel of the 10th Legion. M. D'Alton-Shee has been elected colonel of one of the legions of the banlieue. The Ami de In Religion says: " It has been an nounced that M. de Forbin-Janson was proceeding to Rome as representative of the republic. This announce ment is incomplete. M. de Forbin-Janson has, in fact, set out, but with the simple title of first secretary of oar embassy a'. the Holy See. The honour of repre seuting France at Rome is, we believe w. can affirm, given to the Duke d'llarcourt." The following are the names of the etat-major of the army of the tlps :—First Division of Infantry : General of division Bedeau ; General of brigade Gues-V dler.— Second Division of Infantry : General of division Ba raguay d'Hilliers ; Generals of brigade Talandier and Duhot.—Third Division of Infantry : General of divi sion Magma ; Generals of brigade Guillabert and Re nault.—Cavalry : General of division Oudinot • Gene rals of brigade Regnauft de St. Jean d'Angellokartas, Lebon, Desmottes.—Artillery : General of brigade Legeudre.—Engineers : General of brigade M.i.rrant, Intendant, M. Dennis. The Provisional Government has issued orders for the works on the fortifications of the citadel of Bayonne to be carried on with the utmost activity. Donations to the Provisional Government for the use of the state, from bodies of workmen, clerks of go vernment and other offices, and members of the clergy, were made yesterday. They amount on the whole to a large sum. A decree appears in the Monileur, from the Minis ter of Public Instruction, appointing M. Henri Martin to the chair of Modern History of the Faculty of Letters at Paris, lately held by M. Guizot. The decree is preceded by a report from M. Charton, secretary-general of the department of Public Instruc tion, dwelling ou the merits of the new professor as an historical writer, and as a man of true republican ten dencies. The report mentioned particularly his " His tory of France," of which fourteen volumes have appeared, and for which he obtained the Gobert prize : and more lately another work, entitled, "De la France, de son Genie, et de see Destinees." On the 31st, the populace at Toulouse made a noisy and offensive demonstration before the residence of M. Martin, President of the Cour Royale, singing the Marseillaise. calling on him to resign, and threat ening him that if he did not they . would make him. M. July, the government commisary at Toulouse, hastened to comply with the demands of the populace, and jawed a decreo under his sign manual, suspend ing M. Martin in his functions. Another disturbance has taken place, in con sequence of the provincial population rejecting the commissaries assigned by the government to rule them with despotic authority. The people of Bourg, in the department of Ain, assisted by the national guard of that place, have, without one dissentient voice, forcibly ejected M. Roselli Mollet, the government cutr.missary. The local journal says that there was such com plete unanimity in these demonstrations, that they were not attended with the slightest disturbance of the town. The Duchess of Montpensier is said to be the only one of the princesses who has saved her diamonds. Those of the Princess of Joinville, which it is said Caine partly from the crown of Braganza, are com prised in the sequestration. M. Ledru Mullin has issued another circular to the government commissaries, which appears in the MOO~ of this morning. He impresses on these pro-consuls the duty, which he declares to be imperious, of promoting by all the means in their power, the election of republican candidates, and of' course of opposing all who would favour monarchy in any form, constitutional or not. He allows his commissaries to be candidates them selves, but forbids them to use in their own favour the influence with which their office invests than.

The Threes closed, for cash, at 34 4 ., being a fall of 1 1 on yesterday's closing prices. Bank shares have dropped to 1,025. Some of the railways have fallen to a ruinous point, the Orleans doling at 385, and the Rouen at 280. I learu from authority, which is all but official, that the basis on which the federative organization of I Italy is proposed to be constituted by the sovereigns who now co-opt rate with the King of Sardinia, when the present war shall be breught to a conclusion, is as follows: The Peninsula will be divided into six great states— 1, Naples; 2, Sicily; 3, Pontifical states; 4, the Kingdom of Etruria, comprehending the present Grand Duchy of Tuscany and some of the smaller Duchies ; .5, the Lombardo -Ve•ietian States ; 6, Sardinit. The Tr 9chese states will be as follows t.--Naples? n e 300,000; Sicily 2,050,000 Pontifical states, 3,000,000 ; Etruria, 3,380,000 ; Lombardo-Veuetian, 4,800,000; Sardinia, 4,700,000. A line of fortresses will defend these states upon ' the Alps, upon the Plain, and on the Appenines. A Diet will be held at Rome, under the presidency of the Pope, for the solution of great federal questions, in which each of these states will be repre sented by the same number of deputies. It is stated in the French journals that, besides the principal army of the Alps, two corps of observation were to be immediately formed. One of from 13,000 to 18,000 men, on the frontier of the Pyrenees, the other of 3,000 men only, on the frontier of the north. It is reported that General Cavaignae has resigned the govenor-generalship of Algeria. The two portfolios c •ntaining private correspond ence and papers of Louis Philippe, which we alluded to yesterday, are ascertained to be in the hands of the Provisional Government. The National of this morning has the following, on the project supposed to be entertained by the government, to ex-propriate the railways : The emission of new renles, to he given by the state in exchange for shares, would contribute to depreciate still further, it is said, the prices of the renter which are in the market. But rentes which would be the representation of a capitol alrein4 realisol, and of which the interest would lie paid by the revenues of the railways themselves, cannot be justly assimilated to renter created for a loan. There would not be in reality any creation of new stock, but simply a traniformation of existing stock. Besides, what is at this mo ment one of the principal causes of the decline of the rente ? Precisely the necossity under which the companies are placed of selling their insenptiont at any price. Moreover, what weighs moat hcavilv on the market ate shares not paid up, and subject to calla which it is at present impossible to pay. The state, by converting into definite shares, the un classed shares, by delivering them from the perpetual menace of calls which crushes their value, would cause one of the most active elements of perturbation to disappear. To ad journ the solution of the question so imperatively laid down by circumstances to the period at which the National Assem bly could occupy itself with it, wontd be not to protect, hut to compromise ',offering interests The proviii .nal, in this matt. r, is disastrous and impossible. And note that we do not even speak of this consideration so grave that it is neces sary- to find labour fur thousands of unemployed workmen. lln definitive. i.. it desired that the railways terminated be worked in conformity with the general interest ? Is it de sired that the railways commenced shall be finished? The state must charge itself therewi-h. It alone has sufficient authority and sufficient credit to do so. The first issue of notes of 30fr. by the Bank of Havre has been made. They were applied for with an urgency which showed the necessity for their issue.

LOMBARDY.—We are still without direct advices from Northern Italy more recent in date than those I have already sent, and much contradiction and con fusion prevails in the intelligence that has been received. We have to-day in the Federal Gazette, of the 4th instant, a letter, dated Kiavenna, the Ist instant, in which it is affirmed that an Austrian corps had a conflict with the Swiss volunteers, when 2,000 Piedmontese came to the aid of the latter, and 3,000 Austrians were taken prisoners. Neither date nor place is assigned for this engagement. It is added that a great quantity of arms and ammunition were also taken. In the same communication it is said that the com mandant of the fortress of Piacenza had retired from that place with 1,300 men and 60 guns; 48 of the latter, with a great quantity of ammunition, were, it is said, seized by the people. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 3rd, publishes several official bulletins from Milan, from which it appears that the Austrian troops arc stationed at four miles from Brescia, occupying Castenedolo, alontechiari, and Calcinadello. General Arcioni arrived on the 30th at Brescia, at the head of a column of Milanese, to reinforce General Monti. The Piedmontese column, under General Bee, is ex pected there also. Many cities of Lombardy have al ready named delegates to represent them in the Provi sional Governm.:nt ; among these are Professor Turroni from Pavia, and Dr. Itezzonico from Como. The citadel of Mantua was still in the hands of the Austrians upto the 31st. The first 1 gion of Lombardy left Milan on the 30th for Antigoate. On the Ist inst., the 12,000 men under the command of Charles Albert joined their vanguard at Creme. The Austtiana intend, it appears, retiring to Verona. The Piedmontese forces, that have actually passed the Ticino, amount to 40,000 men. Two huudrcd Italian volunteers, headed by Princess Belgiojoso, landed at Genoa on the 30th ultimo, on their way to Lombardy. On the Ist inst., General Radetsky marched from Mon techiaro towards Verona with 6,000 men, passing through Defenzano. About 22,000 Austrians will be concentrated at Verona, and 2,500 at Pesehiera. The ex-viceroy, having tried in vain to cross the Tyrol, has returned to Verona. Gen. Radetsky still expresses hopes that he may retrieve his fortune at the head of 1 100,000 men. The new Venetian government is pre paring to send troops against Verona, and has pro mised a considerable quantity of arms, ammunition, and cannon, the arsenal of Venice being very well provided. The /I/sm./p . m...t0 of the 3rd, of Turin, publishes a 1 1 letter from the I)uke of Parma to the regency, in which, after promising the most liberal reforms, he recom -1 mends Parma to return to her allegiance. The regency having accepted these conditions, and recommended them to the people, the authority of the duke has been : again recognised at Parma. Not so in the rest of the duchy ; at Piacenza, the duchal arms have been pulled down and publicly burnt, a Provisional Go- vernment proclaimed, and measures taken to demolish the citadel. The Grand Duke of Tuscany was pro claimed at Pontremoli on the 28th. The Provisional Government has obtained the ad hesion of all the cities of Lombardy, They have already named representatives to the Provisional Go vernment. Padua, Modena, and Parma have thus entered into relations with the government of Milan, to concert with it and carry out the means of consolidating the Italian union. A postscript to our Paris letter says: The Austrian army is in full retreat, its rear guard being harrassed by the armed peasants and the corps of volunteers. SAVOY.—In reference to the reported movement in Savoy, a Lyons paper gives the following : A traveller, who arrived this morning from Chambery, relates that, on the news of the arrival of the column of the natives of Savoy, and which was believed to be composed of 12,000 to 15,000 men, the authorities of Chambery left the town, taking with them all the money, arms, and ammuni tion. All the shops were closed. The column arrived, went to the castle, had the gates opened to them, proclaimed the republic, and named a mayor, chosen froin among them selves. On the next day, the populace, finding that the column did not amount to more than 1,500 men, rallied, and, being joiaed by the people from the muntry, armed with Toy% 503.] LONDON, SATURDAY, ♦PRIL 8, 1848.

The following le extracted from tho Lord Lien tenszes reply to the deputiition from the meeting held at the Dublin Society Howe., who waited upon hil 11.11thalip to ascertain hie Mews as to the steps most proper to be pur• sued In the supply of arms and the organization and drilling of aeparate " Gentlemen,—Allow me to express the great pleasure I have in receiving you on this occasion; for, feeling as I do, that upon the government must chiefly devolve the respon sibility of maintaining order in the mt tropolis, and of pro tecting the lives and properties of its inhabitanta from the designs of reckless agitators. I learn, with infinite satisfac tion, through a deputation from a body which represents so large an ainquut of the property, the intelligence, and the loyalty of Dublin, that the well-disp tsed inhabitants of this city are determined to associate together fur their mutual protection. I, therefore, beg to express my entire approval of the _plan you propose to ~dopt. I trust that these associations will be open to curry l.yal subject of her majority, without distinction, and teat they will neither assemble in arm., nor assume any particular badge, except under tho conditions provided by the low ; and, should your services be required in the cause of public order, it will be my care to give you timely notice. " I trust, however, that no such unfortunate necessity will arise, but that you will enjoy the satisfaction of contri ' buting to maintain tranquility, by having shown yourselves prepared to reproa outrage, and you will thereby, 1 assure you, have rendered a most important service to the govern- Inuit, for which I beg to tender you my sincere thanks."

FINANCES.—Mr. Raymond Barker, chairman of the Finance Committee, presented to the council the report on the state of the accounts of the society on the last day of March just ended, from which it appeared that the inverted cap.tal of the society, standing in the names of the trustees, had been increased, by the purchase of stock, from 8,9591. to 9,8591. stuck in the public funds, agreeably with the official bank receipt, which the chairman submitted to the council. Ile also reported that the current cash-balance in the hands of the society's bankers was 1,7501. (made up of 9651. as the special balance on the York subscription account ; of 4011. the amount of life compositions ' and 311. that of arrears of subscriptions received; and of 3531. as the remaining available balance for current purposes). This report was unanimously adopted. Paine ESSAYS.—The Chairman reported, on the part of the Journal Committee, the awards made in three chums of the society's prizes for essays, which, on reference to the respective motto-papers, were found to be in tryout of the following parties: I.

The Prize of AIL, for the best Essay on the Management of Limo Land, awarded to Lipka Smith, of Burley-on-the-11A Ilutlamhhire. YORK Mzerign.—Sir John Johnstone, Bart., M.P., re ported, on the part of' the General York Committee, their recommendation that there should be a council dinner this year at the York meeting of the society, to take place on Wednesday, the 12th of July, and to consist of of not more than 300 persons ; the committee deferring to a future meet ing their recommendations of arrangements, by which such dinner may be made the means of ad vancing the objects of the society, by the corn sinanication of practical views or facts of interest end importance to the members on that occasion ; as well as their recommendation in reference to the question of a lec ture or lectures on topics connected with agricultural improvement, to be delivered during the week of meeting. The council decided, accordingly, that there should be a council dinner at the country meeting of the society tilt' year, at York. Messrs. Swann, Clough, and Co. of York, were unani mously appointed the local bankers of the society during the period of the ensuing country meeting at that city, in J uly next. CONSULTING E a OINEE it.—Mr. Parkes addressed a letter to the council, expressing the sincere regret with which he felt himself under the necessity—on account of the great pressure of his other engagements, and his inability, from the circumstances under which he was placed, of drawing up such a report of the exhibition and trial of implements, at the country meetings of the Society, as would be satisfactory to the council, the ex hibitors, or himself—of resigning the appointment, held by him so many years, of consulting engineer to the society. Mr. Parkes added, that as his professional eag gements were almost exclusively devoted to the permanent improve ment of land by drainage, his efforts for the promotion of the useful objects of the society would continue to be un abated,—Mr. Shelly and Mr. Miles, M.P., as stewards of the implement-yard at the country meetings of the society, bore their cordial testimony of many years to the efficient and zealous manner in which Mr. l'arkes, in hie capacity' so the consulting engineer of the society, bad devoted himself to the promotion of its objects; and concluded by moving and seconding respectively, that the best thanks of the council be conveyed to Mr. Parkes for the services he hail rendered to the society ; and as a mark of the high estimation in which the council held his scientific talents, that his name should be enrolled in the list of the hono rary members of the society. This motion was carried unanimously. JUDGES.—Mr. Miles, M.P., in the absence of Mr. Milward (on account of severe indisposition), moved, and Mr. Shaw seconded, the amendment of which that gentleman had given notice, in the resolution for the nomination of judges. The resolution, so amended, was accordingly decided by the council to stand as follows :—" That any member of the so ciety who nominates a judge be requested to certi y that, of his own personal knowledge, he knows him to be qualified and willing to act as a judge for the class for which he recommends him ; and who is unconnected with any exit!. biter of stock or maker of implement., and has nu direct per sonal interest in the stock exhibited, as the breeder of any particular animals upon which he might be called upon to adjudicate. That the list of names so proposed (stating by whom proposed) be as heretofore referred to the committee of the council, whereof the stewards of the yard of the year precedieg be ex-ojliio members. That In case a suffi cient number of competent members is not proposed, the committee are ordered to add the names of such other per eons as they may know to be competent and willing to act." On the suggestion of Mr. F. Hobbs, it was decided that a classification should be made of the implements to be exhibited at the country meeting of the society, in order that members in nominating judges in that department, as in the ease of judges of stock, may be enabled distinctly to recommend them for that particular division only for which their practical experience his rendered them pecu liarly qualified.

COUNTEY MEETING OF 1849.—Memorials were received from places situate within the eastern district, connected with the country meeting of the society to be held in that part of England next year. The following committee of inspection were appointed, with a request that they would visit the proposed localities, and make their report to the council at their monthly meeting on the 3rd of May next, namely : Mr. Raymond Barker, Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, Mr. Jonas, Mr. Kinder, Mr. Shaw.

Mr. P. bl'Grath again occupied the chair. The hall was speedily crowded in every part soon after the doors were opened. Mr. F. O'CoNNOR, at great length, denounced themeasure introduced last night by Sir Geo. Grey, called the Treason and Sedition Bill, and advised the delegates present to be cautious in their proceedings, se that they should not be compromised by anything said either within or without the walls of the convention. He announced that Lord John Russell had consented to give him Friday next for bringing forward his motion for the adoption by the House of Commons of •he Peoples's Charter. Had not the noble lord made this concession, he should not have been able to sub mit that motion in less then a month's time. After some further general observations, the hon. member declared his intention to be at his post on Monday, and withdrew from the hall amidst loud plaudits. Mr. CLARKE moved that the delegates should at once form themselves into deputations, to wait noon the liberal members of parliament for their respective localities, urging them to obtain a (Hay of the Treason and Sedition 13111 until the sense of the nation could be expressed upon it, and that • circular be addressed to the simultaneous meetings to be held on Monday next, requesting them to lose no time in forwarding petitions to the House of Commons against the measure. Mr. WILD seconded the motion, and a discussion ensued, and eventually the motion was carried by a majority of 28 to 12, and the convention adjourned at a quarterpast 11 o'clock, in order to allow time for each delegate to wait on the members for his own town or borough. PRtPARATIONS FOR PRESERVING THE PEACE OF THE METROPOLIS. WOOLWICH, SATURDAY, ONR P.M. To-day, at one o'clock, a powerful force of the e Royal Artillery left the field train department, under the command of Colonel R. F. Cleaveland, of the Royal Hens Artillery, and marched over Woolwich Common to London, where they will he billeted for to-night and to-morrow, so as to be ready for immediate service, should the peace of the metropolis he jeopardised by the proceedings of Monday next. The force consisted of the B field battery, under the command of Major R. Tomkyns ,• the C battery, under the command of Capt. G. banes ; and the D battery, under the command of Capt. H. Poole, to gether with a mounted detachment of the Royal Horse Ar tillery, consisting of one lieutenant, one sergeant, and nineteen mounted riders, to act as an escort to the batteries.

We have Cape Town journals of the 29th January last, but their contents are comparatively unimpor tant. The frontier was generally tranquil, but there are some few cases of robberies of cattle noticed—in some instances attended by collisions with the Kaffirs. Sir Harry Smith having pacified Kaffirland, and accomplished an immense extent of political, military, and civil arrangements, bad set out on a visit of in spection to the outlying districts, the extra-co lonial settlements of the Boers beyond the Orange River, and onward to Natal and the native tribes, and clumps of Boers in the neighbourhood or that dependency. He has everywhere received by I th e people with affecting cordiality. " Uprightness, simplicity, and determination," says the Commercial Advertiser, " carry him through the midst of difk culties, apparently unconscious of their existence. Most of those difficulties, indeed, were jealousies * fears, and dislikes, arising from mutual misappre hensions, which kept people at a distance from each other, leaving room for the growth of hatred and revengeful feelings. Overlooking all these himself, from the elevation of a generous mind and daunth ss heart, he insensibly leads three around him to few.: them also,'and with ' one touch of nature makes the whole world kin.'" When last heard of, Sir Harry was proceeding rapidly on his tour of inspection beyond the limits of the colony. He had made the port at the mouth of the Buffalo, in Kaffirland, a British port, called East London ; Waterloo Bay, in the district of Victoria, formerly the neutral territory, is also provided for, custom-house officers being appointed for each, with a board for the improvement of the " Port of Fast London ;" and the collector of customs at Cape Town had instructed officers of his department to proceed forthwith, as sub-collectors, to open the new port+, and to receive customs duties thereat. _ . . The brig Bittern, belonging to Messrs. Smith. of Neweastl., was totally lost on the morning of the 18th of January, on a reef off Robbers' Inland, in Table Bay. All hands saved. A LATE CONFLICT IN THE RIVER AN GOSRA, MOZAMBIQUE. On the 20th of November last, H. M. S. President, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Decree, Commander-in- Chief ; the Eurydice, Captain Anson; and the Portuguese man-of-war brig, 3 uan de Castro, together with a small schooner, anchored off the river Angoaba, for the purpose of bringing to terms a numerous band of piratical Arabs, en gaged in the illegal traffic of slaves. On the morning of the 23rd, the boats of the squadron, well armed, under the command of Captain Amon, moved up the river towards the settlements in two divisions. On approaching the inlet of the Arab town, they were fired upon from an extensive stockade with gingalls and musketry, bite wise from the surrounding mangrove trees. A sharp conflict ensued, which lasted an hour and half, when the tire of our opponents was completely silenced, and the stockade per fectly destroyed, killing and wounding a vast number. The loss on our side is comparatively trifling, and but few of the boats injured, though one or two zi mined round shot through them. The shallowness ef the water not permitting the boats to land, also a rapidly falling tide, we were unable to ascertain the extent of damage to the enemy; but we have since learnt from his excellency the Governor of Mozam. hique, that 'ha Arab town, a distance of three-quarters of a mile from the hi ach, was much injured, and that the Arabs had fled inland, with considerable loss of life. The chef cause of this skirmish was owing to an Ameri can brig being discovers d in the river, smuggling arms and ammunition, afterwards to he sold to the Arabs and a few Portuguese slave-owners, to carry a cargo to the Brazils. This brig was seized by the Portuguese man of-of-war, and carried to the capital of the territory for adjudication. Eight of the President's crew were wound( d. The President sailed from Angosha River on the 25th, for the Cape of Good Hopr.—Cerneen. BILL FOR THE SECURITY OF THE CROWN. --- The following is an abstract of the bill which was lest night bruua. • in.,- - . by tftr o.* Grey, for the security of the crown and the suppression of seditious designs and practices : The first section recites the 36th of George 111., entitled "An act for the safety and preservation of hit majesty's person and government against treasonable and seditious prsc ,l tices and attempt.," which enacts, among other things, that if any person shall compass or intend the death, wounding, itn ' prisonment, or restraint of the person of his majesty or his successors, or to deprive him or them of the imperial crown of this realm, or to levy war against his said majesty or his sucemsors, to compel him or them to change his or their raen sores or counsels, or in order to put any force or constraint upon or to intimidate or overawe both houses, or either house of parliament, or to stir any foreigner with force to invade this realm, and shall express such compassing or intentions by publishing any printing or writing, or by any overt act or deed, being convicted thereof by due course of law, then every such person so offending sltallb.f declared and adjudged to be a traitor, and shall suffer pains of death, and also low and forfeit as in case of high treason. It then further re cites, that whereas by the .57th George 111., entitled" An Act to make perpetual certain parts of an act of the 36th George lIT., for the safety and preservation of his majesty's person and government against seditious and treasonable practices, &c.," all the provisions of the said act of 36 George 111., which relate to the successors of his raid majesty, were mae perpetual; and that whereas doubts are entertained whether provisions se made perpetual were by the last', recited act extended to Ireland, and whereas it is expe dient to repeal all such provisions made perpetual by the las' recited act as do not relate to offences against the person of the sovereign, and to enact other provisions instead thereof, applicable to all parts of the United Kingdom, and to extend to Ireland such of the provisions of the said acts which are not hereby repealed. It then goes on, by sectional, to reveal the provisions of the said 36th George ' made perpetual by the said 57th George 111 save such of the same an relate to the compassing and intending the death, imprisonment, or re straint of the person of the sucertwors of his said majesty, and the expressing, uttering, or declaring of such compass ings, imaginations, or inventions. By the second section, it is declared and enacted that such of the said recited provisions made perpetual by the said 57th George 111. as are not hereby repealed, shall he ex tended to, and be in force in, Ireland. The 3rd section enacts that if any person after the passing of this act shall, within the realm or without, immense, in vest, or intend to deprive our our most gracious to'iv the queen or her successor, of the imperial crown of this realm, or any of her majesty's dominions and countries, or to levy war against her majesty or her successors within any part of the United Kingdom, in order by force or constraint to compel her or them to change her or their measure, or counsels, or in order to put any force or constraint upon or to intimidate or overawe both houses or either houses of parliament, or to move or stir any foreigner or stranger with force to invade the United Kingdom, or any other of her majesty's dominion,, and shall express such comp-m.24lgs, imaginations, inven tions, or intentions, by publishing any printing or writing, or by open and advised sneaking, or by any overt act or deed, shall be guilty of felony, and on conviction shall be liable to be transported beyond the seas for life, or for any term not less than seven years. The 4th section enacts, that nothing herein contained shall lessen the force of anything enacted by the 25th Edward 111., " a declaration which offences shall be adjudged treason." The sth section enact., that if the facts alleged in any in dictment for any felony under this act shall amount in law to treason, such indictment shall not by reason thereof he deemed void, erroneous, or defective; and if the facts proved on the trial of any person indicted for any felony uneer this act shall amount in law to treason, such person shall not by reason thereof be entitled to be acquitted of such felony; but no parson tried for the felony shall be attcrwards prosecuted for treason upon the same facts. The sth section enacts, that in the case of every felony under the act, every principal in the second degree, and every accessory before the fact, shall be punishable in the same manner as the print ipal in the tint degree ; and every seer.- sery after the fact shall, on conviction, be liable to be impri soned, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceed ing two yearn.

Two o' Clock. —Our stock market, notwithstanding the persevering efforts of the Times to create a panic about the Monday meeting, continues steady, with Console at 80;'-, to for money and account,--a fraction better than they closed yesterday. We have, how ever, not mush business doing. Reduced Threes we quote 79 to I ex-dividend. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 80 to ex-dividend. Bank Stock, 183 to 6 ex-dividend.

The second edition of the Daily Non brings the report of the situation of the Bank of France on the 30th instant. The more remarkable item of this document is a diminution of public deposits (Treasury account current), from 38,336,000 f., as per the preceding statement, to 49,331,000 f., so that 9,000,000 f. or 360,0001., had been drawn out by the government in less than a week. A special particularity in addition is, that no pay ments appear to be made into the Bank on account of revenue, the collection of which would seem therefore to encounter much difficulty. But for the late ad vance of fifty millions of francs by the Bank, the Treasury account would be actually minus by nearly 700,000 francs. In the meantime, the specie of the bank was also decreasing, the amount less being 1,1 millions francs, and the note circulation more by 200,000. The bills unpaid, with those under protest, had increased to twenty-seven mil lions, from sixteen millions as per last return. Altogether this is a most discouraging exhibition of downward progress.

Of good ordinary Brazil, about 1.500 bags found buyers, at 191 c. to 201 c. We ouote Java, 231 c. to 24c., but it is expected that prices will give way in conse quence of the unfavourable result of the public sales in Hol land.—Cotton is very flat, and no improvement ran be expected until the political and financial affairs are more 'cult d.—Sugar The demand is restricted to the supply of the most urgent exigencies. Stocks are very heavy, and a further decline is generally looked for. We quote Havana,l2 to 131 fl. for low to fine yellow.—Rice continues neglected: of East India sorts the stocks are very heavy: Caroline, 12 to 13111. Hides : We have several arrivals from Monte Video. There is no change in prices to report. A good deal would be done but for the scarcity of money. We quote River Plate Hides at 23c. to 381 c. ; Rio Grande, 15c. to 18c.—T , hacco meets with a regular demand. 100 hhda. Maryland and Ohio were done at 20c, to 21e. A few lots of fine Havana sold at 110 c. HAMBURG, April 4.—Business in general is very flat, on account of the political events in our neighbourhood.

Linseed Oakes: The production of Hull-made being dimirdshed, and • steady demand continuing, the price has been maintained It 91. 10s. per ton. Foreign, being in good supply. are sold somewhat cheaper from the ship, the prima ranging from 71. up to 81. per ton, according to quality. For Rape Cakes there has bees less demand than of late. Bones have met a steady sale at the rates of last week ; the ar rivals of Linseed this week amount to about 2,807 qrs.: comprising 2,260 qrs. from Odessa ; 540 qrs. from Ystad ; and 14 bags from Carlskamn. Owing to the stagna tion in the Oil market, and the low price of Cake, crushers buy very sparingly, and only to supply the immediate wants at their mills ; many of which are about being closed, unless things alter for the better. Tke Odessacargo is on crushers' account, and is going forward. Stocks in the vrarebouses, a• well as in the mill', are very small.

Nothing doing in Barley, Oats, or Beans. LITEUPOOL, April 7.-At ttis day's market we have to reiterate a very languid and indifferent trade for old Wheat of all descriptions: the importers cf foreign, however, tired of so frequently conceding lower prices, refused to submit to any further reduction this morning, and for such, of which very few sales were feasible, we retain our last quo tations ; whilst, all qualities of new receding Id. to 20. per 70165., the transactions therein were upon a moderate scale at that abatement. Home-made and Irish Flour, although in slow request, was held at Tuesday'a rates; but States and Canadian, except choice brands of old, declined Gd. per barrel, Malting Bari y, from the Into period of the working season, was the turn cheaper; grind ing samples on the contrary remained stemsy in value, and Malt was rather dearer, prime qualities commanding pith. per qr. Beans and Peas, upon a limited inquiry, hardly main tained former prices. Oats and Oatmeal, exciting little at tention, were slightly depressed in value.

Some inquiry for Seed Barley and Oats, and for this purpose fully last week's rates are paid. The de mand for Flour is languid ; most of the dealers are in full stock, and are anxious to get through before the warm weather injuries it. WAKEFIELD, April 7.-We have a large arrival of Wheat to report. A good proportion is inferior old, and of new there is oaly a moderate show of samples. The trade-greatly in fluenced by the depressed state of the manufacturing dia tricts, and consequent reduced consumption-is very dull and inactive ; the prices last week were, from the limited busi ness, generally of a nominal character ; we reduce our quota dons Is. to 2s. further, but at this decline there is more dis position to purchase. Barley is firm and quite as dear. Oats and Shelling each dull, without variation in value. Beans of fine quality are fully as high, but second sorts are slow sale and rather lower.
