VIRNNA, Ann It The ilorgenpost of to-day publishes a telegram, &wording to which the French ambassador in Berlin has been instructed to state that France considers a radical reconstruction of the Confede ration, not as a question of German home policy, but as one which would admit of the intervention of the signitaries of the Vienna Congress. The Wonderer contradicts the statement that Signor Visconti Venoets, the newly-appointed Italian ambassador to the Porte, will be entrusted with a special mission at Vienna, on his way to Constantinople. Several of the Vienna papers doubt the alleged nndertanding between Bavaria and Prussia relative to the projected federal reform. Intelligence continues to be published here respecting the armaments of Prussia. It is said that important resolutions were taken in the last Cabinet Council held under the presi dency of Emperor.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. —Yester day there was a very full meeting of the magistrates of the (aunty of Middlesex, at the selaions-house, Clerkenwell green. Mr. IL Pominall presided. The report of the com mittee of amounts and general purposes was presented, end in reference to music and dancing licenses it contained the following remarks :—" Your committee have con sidered the letter from the Lord Chamberlain notifying fur the information of the court his intention to grant loleesses for music and dancing previous to live o'clock in the afternoon to applicants who are in possession of a licence under the 25th of Goings IL, cap. 36. By the terms of the last-mentioned license the holder is prohibited from having music or dancing until after five o'clock, and as a doubt had suggested as to the effect of the two licenses, your committee deemed it ad. visable to procure counsel's opinion on the subject, and a ease was accordingly prepared and submitted to Mr. Hannon, who has given the following opinion :—` I am of opinion that the license of the Lord Chamberlain will take the opening of the house licensed by him out of the pro visions the 25th Geo. 11. cap. 36, to this extent—that the opening of the house under such oinnursiances, in conformity with his license, will no longer be an offence under the third section, and wilt, therefore, be no ground for the justices refusing to renew the limn"e at the next quarter sessions."' The report was adopted. Mr. Gloesop, in moving fora rate of id. in the pallid to meet the compensation required ander the Cattle Plague Act, said he regretted to have to state that in this county the cattle plague was increasing, and thet great raveaes of the disease had occurred in consequence of the introduc tion of diseased Dutch cattle, by the ship Mars. These cattle were landed at Blackwell, and driven through the metropolis to the extreme verge of the county of Middlesex. Three cattle had bad been smuggled in by the agents of Lord Granville and Lord Talbot, cad a bole hevingbeen made in a hedge they made their way into other farms. These cattle had died, and the worst of the matter was, that this loos would fall upon the ratepayers. The committee has ordered prose cutions, but it was feared that the only persons who would be convicted would be the drovers and not the persona who employed them, who were morally respriesible. The mo tion was put end ogres& to. A report was brought up from a special sommitlee, stating that the Secretary of Mate for India had ordered a sum of money to be placed to the credit of the magistrates of Middlesex ter the mipport of the Indian inaardsa in the county lunetie whims, whioh posedreceiv sad adopted.

The session of the Corps Legislatif, which is ap proaching the constitutional term of three months— & term never yet found sufficient, will probably be prolonged tilt June 15. The French Academy to-day elected a successor to M. Dupin. The fortunate man is M. Cuvillier Fleury, the writer in the Dibats, who polled 20 votes against 11 given to M. Henry Martin, the historian, and the prot4g4 of the Bieck. The latter gentleman was thought quite sure of his election till a month ago. It has been ob jected that there are too many nfdacteicrs of the -Mats in the academy. M. Silvestro de Sacy, M. Saint Marc Girardin, and M. Prevost Parkbol, all owe their sesta among the envied forty IP,their writings in that journal, and now w' vier Fleury imams a fourth. I am- nag sure that there are not other Thibats academicians, whose connexion with that paper is forgotten. At the election yesterday a candidate of the last hour, specially patronised by M. Boniface, of the Conti ttchesael, on the ground of his having written a history of the twelve Conan, with a Napoleenic leaning, obtained just one vote. M. Cuvillier Fleury, now 61 years old, has been a candidate for the academy any time these twelve years. He was tutor, and afterwards private se cretary to the Duke d'Aumale. Some years ago he wrote some very bitter criticisms on Victor Hugo, whose " romantique" style shocked his taste as a "purist." Victor Hugo retaliated in some lines in which Fleury's name was coupled with that of another hostile critic named Trognon, as follows : Dint is m un e: tti e li n elit affr e e trau c l veg ives:Le. All the papers quote to-day from Dr. Verona new series of the " Memoir°. d'un Bourgeois de Perin," a story which the good doctor tells in all simplicity, never suspecting how damaging it is to the cause of the coup d'etat which he advocates. It was decreed that the confirmation of the coup d'ldut should be submitted to the French people by ballot. A colonel of a regiment having drawn up his men to vote, thus showed his views of the value of the slender pretext of legality which was then observed. " Soldiers," said he, " you and I do not understand this way of expressing our opinion. I know of a much shorter one. I am about to give the word, Carry arms.' Al/t those who mean to vole for Prince Napoleon will r carry their arms, and those who desire to vote agabf e t him will keep them shouldered. Now, pay a ration to the word of command, Carry arms. " Of course the regiment carried arms unanimously, and the position of any recalcitrant may be more easily conceived than described. Dr. Veron thinks this a capital story ; and so, though not precisely for the same reasons, do those who quote it from him. M. de Montalembert is about to make a trip to the United States. As he speaks English like a native ; never obtrudes his religions opinions of ' fensively ; and is, moreover, an extremely agree able companion as well as a man of extraordinary learning and capacity, it may safely be predicted that he will be very popular in America.

(nom OUR Bram!, cosaurosmorr.) SPANISH TOWN, Kowa 24. The inquiries conducted by Mr. Hanle in St. Thomas-in-the-East, lasted five days, two of which were occupied at Monklands, one at Little Kill, one at Golden Grove, and the fifth at Morant Bay. A great deal of the evidence which was taken was confined to the identification of per sona whose deaths had already been proved ; but, in addition to this, it was shown that, in the dis trict traversed by the learned Commissioners, thirty negroes had been hung or shot, beyond the number previously ascertained. Some of the cases were as bad as any of those which I have already recorded. A sexton, named Joshua Francis, who was going home with the keys of the church in kis hand, was met by the soldiers, and was immediately shot down in the road. A black man named Shannon, who had for some time been too un well to do anything more than occasionally work in his provision ground, 'was shot by two soldiers at the I door of his hut. It is said that the perpetrators of this act of violence, when they were informed that their victim had for a long time been an invalid, had the grace to express their regret for the murder which they had committed. No such tardy repent 'Nate Is, howeviapwoorded the part of those [ who shot a blind man, and then set fire to his [ dwelling, and allowed his body to be half-consumed by the flames. All these disgraceful acts were at trilmited by the witnesses to soldiers of the 6th Regi ment. An old man named Cherington, who lived at Fonthill, was shot while shaving himself. After the departure of Lieutenant Adcock from Leith Hall, it was occupied by a party of Maroons, and no less than eight or nine persons appear to have been shot lin the district by the authority of the officers com manding the detachment, who, I need scarcely observe, were not qualified, either by education or experience, to act the part of scrupulous or im partial judges. They went through the form of holding courts-martial, but as no record has been preferred of their proceedings, the only means we have of knowing what were the charges upon which the unfortunates whom they executed suffered death is derived from the evidence given by one of their number yesterday in Spanish Town. Accord inj to his account, theft, Obeshism, and I the reception of stolen goods, were alike deemed worthy of the punishment of death ; but we have no information as to the nature of the testimony by which these offenoes were brought home to the persons who suffered for them. Re peated complaints have been made as to the con duct of special constables, many of whom had, there is little doubt, been concerned in the disturbances, and were anxious to avert suspicion from them selves by the betrayal of their companions. At Monklands, two of their number, named Miller and Lee, were guilty of more than ordinary baseness in order to obtain prisoners to take in to the troops. Knowing that a number of negroes were hiding in the bush, they displayed a white cloth upon a stick, and having thus lured the too trustful blacks from their concealment, assured them that there was to be no more war, but that they must present themselves to the authorities. Mis- led by these assurances, twenty-seven per sons accompanied the constables to Monk binds ; and there is little doubt that several of them were among the thirteen who were shot there at the edge of the trench. At the Post-offioe, at Ironbridge, between Amity-hall and Golden-grove, those men who had been brought in by constables were shot by the party under the command of Ensign Cullen. The evidence of the witnesses who were examined before Mr. Menlo was that Mr. Cullen had ordered these men to be flogged, but that, while the soldiers were making a " eat," Dr. Morris whispered something to him, and he then altered the sentence to one of death. The men were taken to the other side of the road, and at once shot. Several cases of severe and brutal flogging were brought under the notice of the learned commissioners at Golden-grove. The back of one man who had received 100 lashes from the wire cat used at Bath was still dreadfully scarred, and it was proved that one young woman was flogged at the same place by order of Mr. Kirkland when within six weeks of her confinement. She received 25 lashes. One man who was flogged at Golden-grove died within ten days of his punish ment. There was some miggestion Abet his death had been caused by the remedies employed to heal the wounds inflicted by the cat, but his wife and daughter deposed that all they did was to apply cold poultices made of sage leaves to his back. A man named Philippe had stated that Major Prenderville sentenced him to have thirty-six lashes, and that after he had received that number he said that he was innocent, whereupon the major ordered him a dozen more, which were immediately inflicted. Major Prenderville now admitted that this statement wastrue, but defended his conduct by saying that when the man was taken down, and before the other prisoners, he turned round and " in a most impertinent manner declared he was innocent." In one instance, in which a man was charged with some slight offence, it appeared to the major that the accuser was more guilty than the accused, and he therefore at once reversed their positions. He had the handcuffs removed from the wrists of the prisoner to those of the complainant, whom he ordered to get 48 lashes " by way of caution." In addition to one thousand residences burned I or pulled down there have also been destroyed 28 small mill houses and boi li ng places, the property of settlers, and used by them for the manufacture of sugar from the canes grown in their ittle fields, six petty shops, and 304 kitchens, small buildings frequently placed at a short dis tance from the better elms of cottages, but built of the same materials, in which the cooking of the family is performed. In the majority of instances these houses were the ordinary cottages of the negro peasantry, having wattled walls and thatched roof, and some importance seemed to be attached by the representative of the local government before the commissioners that the total estimate of their value did not amount (including the out buildings and some two or three small chapels) to more than 4,4261., or not quite 41. 10s. each. This appears a small value, and doubtless in a pecuniary some the mischief done to the peasantry by the deatiuction of their little homesteads, in many instances their own property, is not irrepar able ; but viewing the matter from another point of view, it is impossible to contemplate without a shudder the misery which must have been caused by the destreetion, at one of the most inclement seasons of the year, of the houses which sheltered a population of probably at least 5,000 persons. Many of those whose cottages were burned amid obtain no other shelter, and men, women, and children alike were compelled io tab refuge in the bush. larting intellignue. EPSOM .

THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 12. The second meeting of the ironmasters of this district for this quarter was held in the town-hall here this afternoon ; there was a large attendance, the trade in distant iron-pro ducing districts . being well represented, as was also the = 6 Pal eltlPorting firms of London and Liverpool The was healthy at the commencement, and so re mained throughout ; there was nothing like animation, but a very fair amount of business was done in all descriptions of finished iron • in that respect st least it was quite an average . quarter- d ay. The principal firms professed to adhere strictly to the regulation pewee, and as a rule such was the owe ; the second-class houses se. copied orders at prices to a great extent dependent on how far they might stand in need of them ; upon the whole, better prices were obtained loan at the January quarter-day. The principal feature of to-day's meeting was the amount of business done in pig iron ,• that was ve ry much larger than usual both as to the make of this district, and of North Staffordshire. For this clams of iron prices are remarkably firm, and the eagerness to buy dis played by consumers to-day would lead to the inference that either their stocks are low, or that the trade with them is more active than it ha s been represented to be. For the cold blast iron of Shropshire there was the usual steady demand, and the bulk of the quarter's make was sold. SUICIDE OP • BANKER AT SILICRWSEURY.—A profound sensation was created throughout Shrewsbury iny morning, by the intelligence that Mr. W. HaiB the firm of Mears. - Roche, Eytme, Camp pity, Old Bank, Shrews bur y , had comma suicide on the previous evening. It appears that the deceased gentleman had returned to his residence from the hank shortly after three o'clock in the forenoon, and almost immediately retired to his dressing. room. At fear o'cluk, his usual hour of dress ing for dinner, his valet knocked et the door and asked whether he was reedy for dressing. Mr. Bayley answered shortly in the negative, and after waiting el 6 o'clock the valet again knocked at the door and in quired whether he might enter. Receiving no answer, he opened the door and saw his muter kneeling over the foot. pan with his bead h angin g clown, and a razor covered with blood in his right band. On lifting him up he found his throat cut from ear to ear. Medical eminence was at ono, obtained, but the deceased was then quite dead. There had been a special meeting of the proprietors held at the bank on Wednesday morning, and many rumours are rife throughout the town as to the motive that impelled the dummied to take his own life, and though none of them am sufficiently substantiated to warrant publication, it is stated on good authority that the causes arose from his private circumstances, and do not affect the position of the bank. Throughou t yesterday m orning there was, as might have been expected, a great run on the bank. but later in the day confidence in its stability seamed entirely restored. The deceased gentle man held a high position in the county, throughout which he was widely ]mown. In addition to his commercial badness he practised as a barrister, and had a good con nexion on tie Oxford Circuit. He was an ex-mayor of Shrewsbury, and at the time of his death occupied a seat in the town council for one of the wards. ADMIRALTY Arm 12.—ArroncricsNTIL —Has tees F. R. Taylie, F. C. Corbett, and A.
