The North Hants electors have seen through the plausibilities of the performers on such occasions, and cut the connexion ; an analysis of the component parts of the Uxbridge meeting, with some itinerations of their manner of setting to work, may help to couch the agriculturists in other places whose visual organs are still obscured. The Uxbridge gathering was what might be termed in muonio phraseology "a tiled meeting." The public, it is true, were admitted to see and hear, which is not usual in the meetings of the mystic craft; but they were denied leave to join in the dis cussion. It was a meeting of tumors attending the market. A working man—a freeholder in the county —respectfully begged leave to esy a word or two, but was teed ; aus anda gentleman on the platform, who ventured to remark that it was unfair not to hear the man, had his arms pinioned for his puns, and was pitched into the body of the meeting. Mr. MONTGO MERY, of Brantford, a magistrate for the county, at tempted to offer a few observations, bat was taken round the waist and tossed from the platform by the son of the chairman, while the chairman himself gave Mr. MONTGOMERY a broad hint that his same might be scratched from the list of magistrates for his pre sumption. By such gentle and gentlemanly means unanimity among the speakers was preserved. The meeting, the chairman declared, was "suck s:::tia yeoman's meeting." Looking to the list of present for some elucidation of this epithet, we find among them an honourable M.P. for the county of Bucks; the steward of a noble duke, whose property (so far as we are aware) is not situated in or neer the county of Middlesex; and along with a number of Middlesex tenant farmers and corn-factors, a copious sprinkling of farmers and millers from Surrey, Bucks, and even as far u Beaks. The free holders of Middlesex—the agricultural labourers and ether residents in the agricultural puts of Middlesex —were prevented from speaking, lest they should ss dissent from the views of the select I mon ists recruited from the neighbouring counties , my, Bill," a Smithfield drover was once overlyard to shy, when well nigh beaten by some obstinate pigs, "lend us a bark of your dog." The protec t:Taoists of Middlesex have borrowed a few bow-wows from Bucks, Surrey, and Berkshire to worry and hunt Mheir own neighbours at Uxbridge, and will return the favour at Reigate, Buckingham, or WaMegford. The performers at the Uxbridge meeting esettered over four counties. At a given signal they can assemble in any one of them, and pass them selves off upon folks at a distance as a meeting of the agriculturists of the county in which they assemble. Four county meetings are thus economically fabri cated out of materials which, when cluiely examined, appear rather scanty for the manufacture of one. When the chairman spoke of a yeoman's meeting, he must have been thinking of the heroes of Peterloo. We have said that these meetings are not, properly speaking, agricultural, but political. The language of the speakers at Uxbridge amply bears out the weer tion. Mr. NASH'a remedy for agricultural distress war a general election :—" Their coarse should be to petition her Majesty to dismiss the present House of Commons and call together a new one." Mr. JORDAN was of the same opinion :—" The remedy was a new parlia ment." The Stanleyites are so cock-a-hoop with the largeness of Mr. DIsRAELI'S minority, that they se lioudy contemplate an appeal to the constituencies. The Uxbridge, and other meetings like it, composed of tory members of parliament, and their canvassing staffs among the farmers, area beginning of the elec tioneering struggle; at all events a reconnoitring of the ground. The object of the protectionist meetings at Ux bridge, at Devisee, at Warwick, and elsewhere, is to aid in obtaining a majority for the old tory party in the I event of a general election. The parties who are active in getting them up are the tory lords and squires, and those whom COBBETT used irreverently to call " the bull-frog farmers." C,oBBETT, with his characteristic prejudices, was rather indiscriminate in his applica tion of the term to all farmers who avail themselves of the possession of capital, and who aim at more of refinement and intellectual enjoyment than their fore fathers. But of the class which ho had more parti cularly in his eye when he invented the name, it is admirably descriptive. It describes the far mer, who, having more money than his neighbours, affects to be above his business; who keeps hunters, drinks wine, gives hie daughters regular "piano exer cise," less because he has a taste for any of these things than because he imagines it gives him the air of being • country gentleman. The bull-frog farmer apm the finery, not the refinement, of the aristocracy. For the sake of • nod of recognition at " the meet" he will do any dirty work for his landlord in the electioneering line; he will submit to be robbed by high preserving of game; he will truckle to the domineering of justices at quarter sessions, and submit without a murmur to the utmost ine quality of rates. He seeks to be continued in his farm not by good farming, but by the meanest political subserviency. And us allowing his landlord's game to eat up half his crops, and permitting his landlord's rates to be lowered by the.eicrease of his own, are rather expensive sacrifices, he seeks remuneration through a monopoly of the markets. The political magnates in every county main tain a regular staff of these bull-frog fumes to take care of their electioneering interests. When you hear of a meeting of tenant farmers, you may be sure if one or two landlords are present, countenancing but not ostensibly taking part in the proceedings, that it is by them all the previous ar rangements and the allotment of the parts have been made. The bull-frogs, who croaked at Ux bridge, are about as legitimate representa tives of the agricultural classes as the strapping fellows in smock frocks distributed in picturesque gedups over the lawn at Stowe, when her Majesty visited it, were of the villagers; as the Yorkshire omekeepers, whom the highland lairds arrayed in kilts when GEORGE IV. visited Edinburgh, were of the indigenous Celts; or as the sham-sailors one sees begging at every corner are of the British seaman. We do not mean to deny that the bond jide agri cultural population have been humbugged by these @shoes and month-pieces of the squirearchy, and have sereliestingly adopted their sentiments hitherto. But it is certain that late events have given them pause. The recent ter gi versations of these county political imionists have been too glaring to escape detection. For years their incessant cry has been .. „ pa l the malt-tax." A time has come when the repeal of that tax is possible. The county members, and the independent advocates of retrench ment, weld carry its abolition in the House ot Com , mina Bat the political agriculturists never meant that the repeal of the malt-tax should be anything Me than a patty cs , y. They draw back their hands id= they see it within their reach. Like babbling Il n i whipped and chidden by the hu n t sman , they L ten ili t on another scent. The real industrious farmers, who have hitherto known little, and cared less, about politics, are taken aback by this sudden change. The agricultural labourers, the shopkeepers in country towns and villugee, whose interests arc bound up in that of their neighbours, arc repelled by awl a barefaced avowal of insincerity. When told by the men who uttered them, that the denunciations of the malt-tax, to which they have been lis'ening for years, were all fudge and exaggeration, they begin to suspect that this may be the case al...with moreof their political professions. They naturally suspect - that evert the declamation about protection is . ybe tax praterea nihil. They begin to ask thsmeelves what are the real sources of the pressure and pinching they feel. They begin to doubt that the squire. and their oratorical bottle-holders of the firmer class, are not exactly the men to relieve them from the unequal in cidence of rates, from the devastations of locust hordes of hares, partridges, and pheasants, from the insecu rky of a tenure of farms at will. The distrust and disaffection which burst into open blaze at the recent election in North Hints, are smouldering in every county of broad England. The agriculturists are be ginning to think, and in such a state of mind it might be dangerous to allow them to speak. Hence the summary measures adopted by the itinerant performers at Uxbridge to gag them. It is not at relief of the agriculturnts from real or imaginary in justice that these agitators aim. Their sole object is to pack a House of Commons that will keep the army, and the navy, and the diplomatic and colonial ap pointments on their present footing for the benefit of the landlord claw. Of what benefit that will b 3 to the 40s. freeholders and industrious tenant farmers and village tradesmen, we leave these parries in the mood of sober inquiry which has come upon them to *one& r. THE ENGLISH VISITORS IN PARIS. RECEPTION OF THE ENGLISH AT THE HOTEL DE VILLE.—On Wednesday evening the saloons of the prefecture were thrown open for the soiree offered to the English party, who arrived in Paris on the tith and 7th. About nine o'clock the visitors began to amiable, and the arrival of his excellency the Mar quis of Normanbv, accozpinied by the prefect, and surrounded by the principal members of the English party, amongst whom Mr. Loyd, in the splendid uniform of a yeomanry cavalry officer, wart very cotspicuous, by several member, of the National Assembly, and the principal French celebrates, was a signal for striking up the national anthem, "God Save the Queen , " which was admirably per formed by one of the regimental bands; this was followed by the " Marseillaise," and by "Rule Britannia," all which were received with much enthu siasm. The saloons presented the most animated ap pearance from the predominance of the various splen did uniforms of the French officers of the regular army, and the nationsl guards present. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. We have news from Hamburg of the 10th inst., and Copenhagen of the 7th. Our correspondent in the former city says : HAMBURG, APRIL 10. According to the official report of the Hanoverian General, Wienecken, to his government, the skir mishing on the 6th inst., near Uldernp, mutt have been severer than was Wed in the Flensburg ac count, there having been eleven Hanoverian officers ' wounded, besides the Badeners who took an active part in it. The letter received by this morning's tram from Flensburg states that there was no fight ing on the ath on the Snndewitt Peninsula, and that the Danes have retired to the Diippel batteries. They write from Hadorsleben that some skirmish ing took place near Erestedt, without leading to any results. Colonel Von Zastrow had arrived, and General Von Bonin, th e commander-in-chief of the Schleswig-Holstein troop., was expected there with his staff. Yesterday, a park of Prussian Artillery arrived from Berlin by railroad, a regiment of Bavarian Light Dragoons and. tome Infantry belonging to other states from Marburg by steamer. They were all pro ceeding to the north this morning. This afternoon, too, there were arrivals of Prussians. A rumour spread on Change tc.day, that our steam ers off Bremeriutfen had been taken by a Danish lugger of 12 gun., but it could not be traced to any authentic source. The blockade of the river Elbe will com mence on the 12th inst. The Benet notified to the Chamber of Commerce to-day, that in consequence of it the pilot boat at the mouth of the river will be withdrawn, but that the light verde will remain on these stations, and that there will be cruising of boats as long as the enemy will permit, so as to provide vessels with pilots en case there should be arrivals) besides the mail steamers who don't want any. The accounts from Copenhagen deplore the looses of the Danes by the destruction of two of their ships. Orders for a fresh levy of sailors, and an immediate equipment of a ship of the line (th ei Dronming-Maria it is supposed) had been given. The Fadreland says that the Minister of the Marine has commanded the outfitting of a ship of the line and of a frigate. Gen. Favier will, it is said, return to Frankfort. Toe two steamers which were mauled in the en- --- counter at Eciernforde, were the Hekla and the NAPLES, Aram 4. Three decree', all unconstitutional, have been pub lished ; one exacting payment of the land-tax ; ano ther imposing restriction on the press; and a third enacting councils of war to try civilians as well as military men. From these decrees it is now evident that the con stitution, which never was more than a shadow in Naples, has, except in name, altogether vanished. The press, however it has been persecuted within the last year, was, comparatively speaking, per mit'ed great liberty, and has been the oily remnant of the constitution now for come time enjoyed. This has been subjected to a repressive law, which effectually puts a atop to the free expres sion of thought, and amounts to a prohibition of journalism—in fact, I know that the editors of all the liberal journals have determined on abstaining from any longer publishing after the lapse of fifteen days; they are unwilling to risk the loss of 3,000 ducats, which under any the slightest pretence may be taken from them. Within a few days, then, as far as the preen is concerned, we:shall be again in Stygian darkness. _ _ _ _ _ _ The third decree is the result of the dangerous and wavering state of the army, and imprudently enough confirms, officially, all the reports which have been floating about for some time u to their dim content and &Indians. The consequence of all that is transpiring about it is that the popu lation is immersed in fear, and doubt, and sor row. Very many are in prison. Many hare fled, and to some the French and English vessels lying in the harbour have served as a refuge, whilst the two great parties are evidently looking to erernal events to determine their present uncertain condition. On Thursday morning, the 29th, our port again presented its usually gay appearance, as parties of the English and French fleet had arrived during the night from Palermo, whither they had been sent. The English vessels now lying here are the Hibernia, the Howe, and tbo Spitfire, Temble and Oberon steamers. The Hibernia came up in 21 hours. She is to sail immediately for England, where she will be docked, and afterwards recommissioned by Captain Will. The Queen, which I informed you had left Palermo en route ti England, will come out as the admiral's vessel in July, with, I understand, the officers of the Hibernia. Meanwhile the Caledonia is now on her road oat to join the fleet. The Bulldog, on the Oberon's (which brought up the ministers Temple and Rayneval) leaving Palermo, bad started to make the circuit of the island, and is now at Marina, whilst the Powerful is at Palermo. It is expected that a steamer will be sent down to Palermo to bring off a number of English families who are ready to leave. A French steamer is to pass at Catania for some families. Of French vessels now in port there are the Friedland (flag ship), L'Hercule, Jena, Inflexible, Jemmapcs, and one steamer, the Norval. On the evening of the 2nd, the Jena went over to Bete. Admiral Baudin, I understand, came up from Palermo on board the English steamer Terrible. _ _ _ _ _ So much for fleet news. Of course the officers and men of the several squadrons brought in a vast acces sion of news from Palermo, which has been received here with intense interest. From a French officer who was sent ashore to reconnoitre and report the state of things, I have the following intelligence : The enthusiasm of the people was beyond all concep tion ; oa going through the city his carriage wee sur rounded by an immense crowd, who Incessantly shouted " War, war !" insisting upon his taking off his hat and shouting, " Viva la liberta, Siciliana! " Yea are going to Naples," said they, "Tell Ferdi nand that we will cut the flesh of his soldiers in bits, and fry it." On pursuing his rued towards the country, he met two bodies of men, 2,000 in each, wlth 40 priests at their head, coming into Palermo. In fact from all directions were coming in the peasantry by thousands, led on and encouraged by their priests. Th'e, in)eed, has been one f the re markable features of the Sicilian revolutior, that the priesthood has taken such a decid.d and patriotic part. Among st the people bad been distributed 10,000 pikes, s ix fret long, and with triangular heads. Trues they had orders to use in preference to any other weapon, the priest' preaching daily in the piazzas, and urging the same counsel—to rush upon the enemy with the pike, regardle.s of anything else but ererminating them. Speaking of the means of defence, my informant further told me that, besides a ltrge force of Frenchmen and people of other nations, there was a body of Englishmen organised, about 300 in number, who were tolled the 6 , Inglese." Their artillery was well served by a splendid troop; ammunition and arms abounded ; round the city a ditch had been dug ten feet deep and 10 feet wide, with towers at the distance of 100 feet from one ano- ther, each having six cannon. A letter from Palermo says— All here lend their aid, even the ladies carrying out the earth in smell lbasketa. The army musters 50,000 men under arms, and is daily on the increase. 26,000 labourers are daily at work in the trenches, and work hard too, so that is • week they have thrown up immense works. They are most enthusiastic and only step working to cry " death and destruction to t he Bourbons.' We (English) are exceed ingly well received here, but the French are excessively dis liked. We hear it reported that there has been a regular row on board the Friedland between the admiral and officas on some question of politic regarding the Sicilians. • Toe last authority I shall cite is a letter from Cata nia, and which is of great importance, as Catania teems to have always taken a part favourable to en ar rangement. Alter stating this fact, my correip.mdent continues : Had the King wished to unite the Sicilians, to destroy the party in favour of • settlement, and to promote a feeling for hostilities , he could not have proposed a docum. rat which could bet ter answer his purpose than that now presented to Sicily. A French steamer arrived hers . yesterday for Palermo, having touched at every port in its voyage round the island, bearing • large number of proclamations and of the diplomatic correspondence respecting the ulti matum. Before the vessel left a large number of copies were jubliely destroyed by the population, who got up a demon stration with tri-coloured flags, parading round the city with shouts for war. For obvious reasons the means and plan of defence will not be touched on in this. It may euffice to say that if the Sicilians are only true to themselves, as it appears they most likely will be, the conquest of Sicily by the Neapolitans will neither be so easy or so certain u many seem to expect. From Messina little, of course, could be learned as to the movements of the patriotic party in the neigh bourhood. Prince St. Rosalie commanded the troops near Bareellona, about 18 miles front Messina, and, it was expected, would commence an attack upon the outposts, driving them in to Melazzo. This prince re ceived the insult of being struck by his Majesty, and probably will nut fight the worse on that account. Of the proceedings of the royalists the following are the only particulars I cap tell you : Filangieri, toge ther with some superior'bfficets, bad arrived at Mes sina on the 24th ult., by the Stromboli. The naval force stariozed there were : the Regina and Amelia, frigates ; Csrlo 111., Archimode, Roberto, Guiscard, Ercoli, and Sannita, large steamers, a em ail steamer, and many gun-boats. From all appearance., it was conjectured that the first attack would be made upon Catania. The road thither from Meesina was broken up, barricaded, or mined and defended by twelve bat talions of organised miens. All foreigners in Alt s- 1 sina had been caged upon to show cause why they remained in the city. Two forts only of the insur gents remained there, well provisioned, commanding the city. Orders had been issued for closing the calls and all public places at two hours of night. On the 25th, two large belle, sent by his Majesty to replace thole taken by the Mesainese for casting cannon, had been consigned to the mother church. On the same day also 1,500 men were dispatched from Gaeta to Messina. It is, however, now uoderstood that Filangieri will endeavour to make his first im pression upon Palermo. Later information from Sicily, by the Duke of Ca labria steamer, which came in on the morning of the 3rd, from Meesina, is as follows :—All was quiet in Messina, yet it was sufficiently evident what was the real feeling of the people. The city teemed emptied of the soldiery, who had marched off in the direction of Catania. On Friday night and Saturday morn ing, 30th and 31st of March, six steamers had left at the same time • but whether with troops or not my informant, who had just come up from Messina, could not tell me. The steamers were still visible on Sunday morning, going in the same direction, from which it is inferred that either a ruse was being prac tised, or that the steamers had been driven back by heavy weather during the night. Reports were circu lating that two villages had been burnt and sacked en route, and that Catania had surrendered. This how ever, must have been impossible at that time. Fil angieri and Pronio were bothwith the forces. There had been' an action in the direction of Melazzo, in which the Neapolitans had the worst ; the Sicilians had killed a person who worked the telegraph, and broken the communication. By this time some important actions will have taken place. Palermo, it is clear, then, has not as yet been attacked, though for two d ays it has been industrially circulated that it had surrendered after four hours fire. At Missina there was three Neapolitan steamers, the Ferdinando, Capri, and Ercolano, besides two sailing frigates, the Amalia and Regina; there were also two Genoese steamers, and one English (the Rosamond), the Bulldog having been sent down to Catania. Our consul at Arming had given notice to all the English residents to be in readiness to embark if circumstances should render it necessary. It was no longer permitted to leave or enter Messina. Filangieri, on the 28th ult., had published the two following proclamations at Messina : Sicilians,—The revolutionary usurpers of power in Pa lermo have rejected the liberal concessions which our august sovereign had empowered the French and English admirals to take down to Sicily. The ministers plenipotentiary of the same powers shortly after went also to Palermo to units their efforts to those of the a'oressid admirals. France and Eng lend, through these their representative, convinced that they could no longer interfere in this affair, have withdrawn their fleets from the veto's of Sicily. The tyrants of the beautiful island not deeming such a refusal sufficient, have chosen to add insults, and use terror, threats, and even as sersinations, to prevent honest cit kens not only from accepting but even from knowing the general and most ample amnesty and the other concessions which the King our lord, in his in exhaustible munificeece, has lavished upon his Sicilian subjects. It is civil war, then, that is desired by those odious anarchists. Civil war it is, and nothing else. For your geed I exhort you, honest and peaceful citizens, to preserve yourselves from such a scourge, the greatest of all those which could afflict human society. Re main tranquil in your homes,. it is not you whom we under. take to combat, but rather those devastators of your coun try—thou insatiable, ambitions men whe lay their hands upon it, if they will have the daring to front us with open bosoms. The peaceful inhabitants of the cities and the country districts we shall enter with the olive branch of peace in our hands will find in each soldier a friend, • pio tutor of their families, of their nbstance ; but those who show themselves hostile to us will have no right to com plain if they shell fall victims to the civil was which they tliemselyeshaveprovoliesL—Lientenaat CleneralComaander in-Chief, CHARLES FILANGIERI, Prince of 'BATMAN°. Another proclamation to " Soldiers of the squadron and of the army destined for the Sicilian expedi tion :" The Sicilians are our brothers. We move from here to libe rate them from the horrid yoke which has covered with blood and ((lief for now 16 menthe this ;put of the royal dominions. If the peaceable inhabitants of Sicily claim our affeeti mate protection, equally is it our duty to assure the anarchists who, in exciting the civil war, cause the ruin of their country, that calumnies lavished by them upon you have prodneed no ether effect than that of rendering firmer that intrepidity of whisk so memorable a proof exists in the occupation of Messina. Europe now knows if you or your adversaries dis ptayed in that war manly courage during action, severe dis upline, and wonderful moderation after the victory. I do not doubt that shortly we shall have fresh proofs that the land and naval forces of the King have more than ever a I claim on the admiration of all for their fidelity to their most beloved sovereign, for their devotion to military honour, for their discipline, for their valour. Long live the King.— Lieut.-Gen. Com:in-Chief, C•ato Furrronuss. Another proclamation to the Meadnese: His Majesty the King yielding to his indulgent and pater nal sentiments rather than to any just resentment against his rebellious subjects, spontaneously offered suchconcenions Is best suited the wants of Sicily aced which were least likely to weaken that permanent security which is due to the whole population. But in Palermo prevailed a epee's of egotism. Those who above all turned the misfortunes of the public to their own advantage—those who have destroyed Tery:check to their most brutal passions —thou, who have i reduced to • precarious state the life and substance of all, have refluell peace to keep at • distance from them that which they bete, and which yet satisfies the supreme wants of society —government. Military operations have then be come &necessity ; when the hinges of society are shaken, when social ties are rudely broken, disciplined armies and a dictatenhip alone su ffi ce to repr oduce them. And in this revolutionary period of Rum e no one can tell whither its evils would have led without the military force. Civilisation would perhaps have perished if armies, as history informs us has happened at other times, had not imposed bounds to the mat degrading disorders. In Germany :lie most exten sive institutions were established ; in France • republic was established and pol.fical disturbances ought to have ceased.

Yest, rday morning eerly, three gentlemen were arrested in the T o l e d o, 1 4 some portion of a conversation which had been ora. heard by an officer. Thus, with the Austrian victo r i es in the north of Irsly, decrees destructive of any remnant of constitutional liberty in Naples, and system of terrorism unknown even in the days of Del carret'o, the people are confounded and donna. What might both Fngland and France have done by the mere exercise of moral power, fir the caused national liberty in the soul, if instead of ccenetfing first with one and then with another party, sad ceivirg both, they had pursued a straightforward ho. nonrable course ! It is unnecessary to make any com ments on our present state. I will only ask yea eke ther the facts which are daily taking place about as do not justify fully the statements I have sent you fa some months back, and whether the couleur dense accounts of royalty, and everything ecnntettd with it, which have been published for the benefit of a Bd. Ugh public have not been gross misiepresentatiom. How could the Sicilians trust to promises, when pro. miss, and oaths aro daily broken ? They therasebts refer to the state of Naples, and ask the sane question. P.S.—Sir Charles Napier came in last night shoat half-past fcur o'clock from Civita Vecchia, and kit again at six o'clock.
