FRANCE. PARIS, WIDNESDAT, 510 P.m. The qucs'ion of prorogstiun of the Legislative As sembly again came under discussion to-day. The President read a motion, the effect of which would be to prevent the Amemhly from sitting for ten days previous and subsequen. to the sittings of the Con seil, °entree:. Toe erg ney of this proposal was allowed, and it was referred at once to the committee, which has already received the proposal made yester day. It may be as well to notice that as the Conseil' Maine: meet about the sth of Sept., the vacation made by the tOr.ve motions will thus commence on the 23th of August, and last probably to the ead cf September. The authorisation to prosecute three membersof the Legislative Assembly fur perticipatiog in the affair of the 13rh of June was not granted yesterday. Chance had somewhat to do with this. In the first place, when the case of M. Cantagrel came on, it appeared that this repr er.ntstive basins requested permission to appear before the committee to give explanations of his conduct, by some mischance he was not fornd by the usher innt by the committee to inform him that he c uld come forward. The As semb'y therefor.: decided to postpone to this day the vote on his ca-e. It decided, however, to vote at once on the cases of the other two, and cotamsaeed with that of M. Commissaire. The ballot was twice annulled from an insufficiency of voter,, the left having abstained. During the debate which was raised on these de mands M. St. Romme put it very fairly to the As sembly, whether it would not be much better first to authorise the prosecution, and then, if the case was made out in the instruction, to grant authorisation to arrest. This would .. prevent the subjection of mem bers to those long imprisonments which they must undergo by the sys'em at present pursued. How ever, M. El'. Itomme's proposal was merely laughed at by the majority. To-day the scrutiny was re-opened in the Assembly, and authorisation was granted to prosecute M Commissaire. The scrutiny as regards M. Cantagrel was proceeding up to post-hour. The bureaux of the Assembly yesterday named the per manent committee of finance that is to examine the budget of 1850. It seems that General Ondinot is very often in a considerable quandary es to his mode of proceeding at Rome. Tne instructions sent simultaneously from Paris by the minister of war, M. de Tocqusville are, it appears, so different as to lead to considerable diffical y. On Monday General Lamoriciere paid visits to the different ministers, and left yesterday morning foe the bead quarters of the Emperor of Russia. By a decree of the president of the republic, dated the 14th, Vice-Admiral Parnival-Deichilnes is ap pointed commander of the squadron of the Mediter ranean, in place of Vice-Admiral Bandiu. By ono- Cher decree of the same date, Rear-Admiral Montag nies de la Roque is appointed major-general of marine at Brest, in place r f Rear-Admiral Dcsfessil. PARIS, 'cur I. Pia •V 11 la Amara.

ROMAN STATES.—The news from Rome of the 10th brings notice of the continued arbitrary proceed lugs of the French in the Eternal City. The cudi-1 eels were gradually returning to the city and showing their pink stockings about the streets. General Oudinot has generously raised a subserip- 1 tine amongst his army to employ the poor in Transit- Tees. The benevolent idea produced but 1,000 francs, and unless a miracle takes plate the 30,000 people of that quarter will have very little apiece. What is that among so many ? OILNIRAL OUDINOT 70 TUE KAGISTRALT. Voiotia military rain of different rade', having heard that many inhabitants of Trani:tame are in want of work, hare spintanequily opened a subscription to assist them. The lit list has at once produced a sum of a thousand francs. This shall b, applied in the first instance to the de- street ioa, anger the diration of our sold it re of the engineer corps, of the barr.cades th.t still mist in the tows. I also Intend employing many inhabitants in the worke of artillery and engiseering, which I might have ...nodded to our soldiers. In every circumstance y. u will find as ready to second your elf.ats to guarantee public and plivatq interests. Receive, gentlemen, the meurance of my datinguised con sideration. The Gemarel-la-Chief, OUDINOT DI Rzooto. Rome, July 8. The following proclamation hare ale, b.en lamed a'. Rome by G.neral Oudinot: Dearee.—The fl .g and issignia of a government that hes ceased to exist, and also the red cap, sign of terror and anarchy, shall disappear within 24 hours. The commanders of the various corps stationed in the noni (quarurs) of Rome, are charged with the execution of the present decree. Rxue, July 8. the Oeaeral•in-Chief, OUDINGT Di REGGIO. By an order of the sth all fore*goer., subjects of the starve, and a idlers with passoorts, are ordered to leave within 24 hours, on pan of being arrested and conducta-d by the gendarmes to their place of residence, it Romans, or to the fronier, if treigners. These who are an - horised to remain et Rome are to present themselves at Vie regionary preedeneire with their card., from the 6th to the 15th, to obtain a carte de aurae'.

The sacred utensils, ornaments, aid bells, taken from the religious eetablishmeres of Rome, still in existence, are to be • eturnei to the hea Is of the mid establishments. All the former presidents of the rioni of Rome are reinstated in their offices. The commissaries whose functions cease are immediately to restore their offices to their successors. Homes and conveyances pet in requisition by the late govern ment, and which are still in existence, are re,tored. It is believed that the studies at the oman College will soon be resumed. Letters from Cavite Vecchia of the 11th state that Viterbo was occupied on the 9th by 3,000 French. M. Ricci, president of that province, and M. Mauwei, president of Civita Vecchia, sr re arrested there. The triumvir Armellini, with his family, has embarked on the Virgilio steamer for Marseillis, with an Rag dish and an American passport. All the politer! prisoners confined in the Castle of St. Angelo have been set at literty. Viterbo has been entered by 3,000 French. Garri baldi has escaped as yet from the bands of his pur suer.. _ _ NAPLES.—Letters from our own correspondent at Naples raise a doubt as to the speedy re'urn to Home of the Pope. The Canino at Castel!amare was being prepared for Pio Nono's reception. I have jut beard (says our correspordent) that the Pope's visit to the city of Napl'•s will be made an occasion for gran ting a general amnesty to the innumerable political victims now in prism.. His Majesty makes use of his Ilul , n,se to a considerable extent in the way of " blessing "—the brave fellows who ran away from Garribildi have been thus honoured. A Pope now-a-days is used by these paty princes as if be were nothing more than an old coat, which they put on to do their dirty work in, as occasion suggests—quantum Neapolitan Five per Cent., 83g. IT* djixprt SWITZERLAND. The number of the Baden insurgent army which has entered Switzerland, either by Egliteu or ltheinao, wee nearly 4,000. They had with them 30 guns, seve ral baggage waggons, and about 800 hordes. They allowed themselves to be disarmed. The federal council of Switzerland ban addressed a circular to the different cantons, setting firh that, in consequence of the great numbers of political refugees who have sought an ae3lum in Switzerland. they (the refugees) have been divided among the different °in tone ; and the council calls on the cantons to receive them, and to exercise a strict surveillance over them, so as to prevent any attempt to disturb order, or the foreign relations of 8 aitzerland. The council mils that it will neglect nothing to hasten the departure of the I refugees, and for that purpose has applied to the I French republic to receive them, or at lea t allow I them to piss through the territory, and to the Ger man governments to grant an amnesty as won as THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. MEETING AT NORWICH. (most OUR OWN RSPORTEIL) NORWICH, WEDNISDAT. The beeriness of the show really cemmenced this morning, when the imp!. ment yard was thrown open to the public. Eight o'clock was announced a the hour for opening the exhibition, and very shortly after the farmers—the practical men who attend these meetings, in the hope of daring', some wild advantage from them—began to throng in. Up to twelve o'clock no fewer than eighteen hundred hail paid their half crown each fur admission, and at that hour the crush of visitors only commenced. The exhibition, both in the num ber of implements, and the improvement in agricultural machinery they evince, is decidedly apt nor to then of pre vious years. The field which is set apart for the display of the nume rous mania' a brought together from every part of the king dom coupling several seres,and is laid out in long pendia stands, forming so many Imam., in the open alio' s of which the exhibit n stand inviting the attention of the passers-by to the qualities of their in general somewhat ponderous warm The catalogue of the articles entered extends to near 300 closely print..d pages, and the list of the exhibitors comprises the names of most of those who are known to the public as neensful competitors at the society's former shows.

The Duke af Cars,bnilge and the other uistinguished personages attended at a later period of the day, when the show assumed more the character of a fashionable lounge than a pl.ce of business. In addition to the fair outside the stowyard, there is an horticultural site going on at shout a quarter of a mile dis tant, which appears to share in the p pulatity which all the public amusements prosided t.r the gratification of the participators in the great holiday, which tbis meeting is re garded as, obtain.

This, the first and the most select of the two grand festivi ties of the meeting, took place last evening in St. Andrew's Hall, a building rendered memerabla as the scene of the discuseith of the principle cf free trade, which, on the chal lenge of Mr. Wodehouse, took place some four years ego be tween I im and Mr. Cobden, end which, it will be recollected, resulted in a unanimous verdict in favour of the challenged. The apartment, which is in the Gothic style, and which, having some years ago done duty as a church, has, in the mutation of things ethlesiarical as well as lay, brie since teansformed into • banquetnng-room, was fitted up specially for the occasion. The area was contracted by screens. which parted eff the Bids aisles from the nave, and cut .if the space occupied by the organ gallery. The seats were not much more than half occupied, probably from the reluctance of those who have suffered from the exorbitant charges made in the town to pay an extra guini a even for the pivinge of dining with protectionist peers. The affair altogether might fairly be designated as dull. The chair was occupied by the Earl of Chichester, and the tic, -chair by the Marquis of Downshire.

He sr pressed his surprise that two of the priz s for r outh-downs had not gone to Sussex breeders, though he must admit that the Sussex men were much aocustomned Vi this kind of treatment at the hands of Mr. Webb. Mr. FISHER HOBBS, as the most sr.ceeasful candidate in the class of sheep end pigs, rose to r e t u rn th an ks. H e felt very proud in standing in the high position of the most successful candidate on the present occasion, and not the less so in being declared the most sitcousful competitor for south-down sheep. (Hear, hear.) Little had he expected that, coming es he did from a cernitrowing county, be should beat - Mr. Shelly and many other eminent Susie: s o u th-down breeders.

He felt it his duty to r' low that the farmers of the eastern counties were not unmindful of the importance of rearing well-bred animeks. (Heir, hear.) For his own part he would do all in Lis power to introduce the best bred animals in the kingdOes throughout those counties. (Hear, hear.)

The dessert having been served, The CHAIRMAN proceed ''The Queen," " Prince Albert end the Royal Family," and " The Army and Navy." Mr. COBDEN was called on to reseend to the toast, but declined the honour amid general laughter. The CHAIRMAN said that before proposing the next tout he begged to state that letters apologising toe their absence from various causes had been re ceeved from Lira Lincolo, M.P., Lord Polwcrth, M.P., M r . Disraeli, M.P.. Lord Jocelyn, M.P., Mr. Hume, MP M.. Napier, 111. P., Mr. A. Stafford, M.P., Mr. Bri g ht, ALP., Mr. Tellemuche, and others. There noblemen and gentlemen reereVed them steely that unavoidable engaie menet preven•ed them trona attending, but he might be permitted to add for them that they all cerdially approved of the object whisk the company bad assembled to promote—namely, the good government arid prosperity of the colonies, by obiaiiiitig for them • larger control over their own :thin. (Cheers.) The toast he would take the liberty of preposing to them was, " Proms. rity to the Colonies." (Cheers.) In giving that toast he might be permitted to observe that in order that the colonies might be proeperoue, and in order that they miebt be well governed, it was essen tially necessary that the people of Wm country should take a lively interest in colonial affairs. (Herr, he r.) Ile was therefore happy to see around him on that (meatier.' so many gentlemen who took a deep and unaffeettd interest in the fortunes of the British dependencies. Ile was happy to perceive that the affairs of the cobbles were beginning to occupy a e oodderable portion of public attention i n this country. Of late years various taus.* had coincided to pro duce that moat desirable result, mid to render it of the greatest importance to this mug , ificent empire that the colonies should be well governed, prosperous, and contented. Amine those causes he might mention the great emigration that had been going on of late ytare He tad found that within the last year ro less than 2110,000 persons had left the shores of the Urited Kingdom as emigrants, and that within the last twenty years 2,000,000 of human beings had emigrated. Now, though a great portion of that emigration had no doubt been to the independent dominions of the the colonies, w or United States, still the question of the state of our own hh had colonies generally had become a matter of the rested im portance to all classes, especially the humbler and middle Tft o r e h r t e h e war, e o f no a about tre o nd emigrate rlato o n t i h n , one m duets, because there was scarcely an iiidividual among therefore, se deely an individu to be Lurid who Lad not some individual or immediate interest its the North Ameri can colonies, or in Australia or New Zealand, or some of the other weelenients of the British empire. Again, the attention of a great portion of the population of the United Kingdom had been of late very much directed to the colouies, in consequence of the discussions that had Wien piece during the present session on the subjected Free Trade and the Navigation LANs. There had always bsen an inti mate cohneaion between the colonies and the commercial population of Great Britain. In former times the colonies were supposed to be chiefly ireful for the purposes of aff. rd ing a market for the manufacturers, and of creating a trade for the shipowners and merchants of the mother country, but the 'ban ion of mimeos privileges had operated to pro duce a great change in the feelings of the commercial classes, and had led them to entertain a wellfoundrd belief that with improved institutions I the colouirs might become a much mere valuable market for the manufac tures and commerce of this country than they at present were lie considered that this belief was warranted by the fact, and that no class was more deeply interested in the prosperity of the colonies than the merchants, manufac turers, and shipowte re of Great Britain. (Hint, hear.) Again, great Retention had been directed to the euhject in consequi nee of the writings of eminent and disinguished men who had care fully studied this subject, with a view to planting R considerable portion of the ear h's surf ice now under the possession of the British crown with the Anglo-Saxon race. He rejoiced that one of the most emi nent of those writers—his friend Mr. Wak field—had ho noured them with his society on that occasion, for it must be acknowledged that that gs net man had rendered most important services t 3 the British dep..eidencii s, and that there were few men more utirnstely stet minted with their present condition and future requirements. (Cheers.) Another reason why so much of the attention both of the legislature and of the public had been devoted of late years to colonial all eirs, was to be found in the facto that events of an unusually exciting character had recently occurred in the colonies, and the demands which were mode for colonial purpose* on the national Exchequer, were day by day be coming larger and more frequent. During the last twenty years no a soon than one hut deed minions sterling had been expended on our colonies. (Hear, hear.) This amount so incredibly enormous, weuld not have been required if the colcnies bad been properly g d. But they were not— (bear, hear) —and the cones quence was that the colonists were discontee ted, and all our Leo; le at home im poverished. In Canada there had been two rebellions, followed by an expenditure —a criminal expenditure of as many millions—in South Africa there were perpetual Kaffir wars, followed by a foolish outlay of the public money, and still more foolish acquisitions of valueless territories—in the West Indies there had been a lavish gift of twenty millions sterling, and the utter and irretrievable ruin of the planters —in Ceylon civil disorder and drum head courts mania/ were the order of the day—in Australia was to be found the most vicious and profligate community on the surface of creation—and in New Zealand all the legitimate functions of society were paralysed and obstructed because of the irrational and despotic restrictions which wets imposed on the Angle-Saxes population, who were conscious of their fitness for fm institutions; yet they themselves, year after year, persisted in their legitimate and most reasonable semi rations. (Hear, hear.) Such was the present deplorable conditions of the most magitheent colori d empire in the universe. The evil was of enormous magnitude, and day by day it was forcing itself en the consideration of the legis lature. A greater nun.ber of tie asur. sin reference to colo nial affairs had been submitted to the consideration of parliament this session than on any previous ses sion that he could rem. tuber. Mr. Baillie had worthily opened the session 1 y calling attc ntion in a speech of remarkable ability to the condition of British Guiana and Ceylon. Mr. Mderley had saved S:uth Africa from the rdlutioa of convict emigration, and had inflicted a death blow on that pestilential system. (Hear, hear.) Lord Lincoln had endeavoured, though in vain, to rescue Van couver's Island from the tad fate that impended over it. Mr. Aunty had does good service in showing bow military colo nist governors were in the habit of dealing with independent judges ; and Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Roebuck had each in his turn directed the attentioa of the govern ment and legislature to the grievous abuses which existed in our colonial system. (Hear, hear.) It could not be doubted that there were great errors and most serious de fects in our whole system of colonial government, and that ft was essentially necessary, as well for the interests of the mother country as for those of the dependencies, that • most severe and searching inquiry should be instituted into those defects and errors. Ha had not the least doubt that the result of such an inquiry would be to show that the evils of the present colonial system bad their source and origin in the fact that sufficient control over their local affairs was sot allowed to the colonies. The tendency of the central authority—the Colonial-office—had aver been, and would ever be, to grasp as much authority as it could, and to resist to the death all measures which could have the effect of diminishing that authority. The Celonialnificie laid claim to infallibility, hut it had not the slightest pre text for putting forward any such pretension, the lementuble fact being that the colonies had been brought to the verge of irretrievable rule by their negligence aud. These were forty-three colonies, and they were presided over by a Secretary of State, who rarely wee in office for longer than two years at a time. Though he were gifted with superhuman powers, he could not per form his allotted task in a satisfactory milker, and it was not to be wondered at that the system was found to work badly. The fact was, the whole system must lie reformed, otherwise the colonies, instead of being a gain and a glory to England, would be a source of misery to her, and a Wee of degradation.

With questions of local taxation., municipal insti tutions, the allocation of waste lands, sad provision for the religious acquirements of the colonies, the Colonial Office had no !business to interfere. All such matters should be left to the colonists themselves. If they were, the colonies would be much happier and. England would be much richer. The colonies, if properly managed, ought not to cost the mother country anythie g, tither for defence or govern ment. If the pelm e t , : for which he contended—that of local selfgovernmene—were practically acknowledged, the colonies would be toosperous, and their prosperity would, of inevitable consee,uence, ensure that of the empre at large. (Hear, hear.) W ith these feelings he begged leave to pro pose the toast Pi " Prosperity to the Colonies," and he would couple the firotiment with the " Health of Lord Mont/eagle," to whom Site praise was due of having, while Colonial Secre tary, fenteded the first free colony in South Australia. The toast was enthushutically honoured. Lord MONTEAGLE in returning thanks, acknowledged that during his official career, as Colonial Secretary, he was obnoxious to the first two charges the hon. chairman had Weight against the Unionist Department—those of igno ranee and negligetese--(laughter)—and he feared that the only reason wile ke was not guilty of the offence charged
