nuwable furlough have been ordered to join with out delay. From these movements and other information, it may be assumed that at the present time something like five-and-twenty thousand men are on their way from various parts of the country to reinforce the army of Lyons.

A' letter from Turin of the Ist says :—" Count de Cavour has returned from Paris with resolutions of prudence ,and patience. He became convinced, if I am not deceived, of two things while he was in Paris. Firstly, that it is intended to carry out, not the Piedmontese policy in a narrow and exclusive sense, but the Italian policy in the wide meaning of the word, that is to say, a European policy. Secondly, that it is necessary to take into account in Piedmont the Catholic opinion, And its great power in France, and that the first interest, of Italy, if not its first duty, is to draw towards 'Rome, and thereby deprive Austria of her principal ally. These considera tions were clearly laid before the Count de Cavour while in Paris." The same letter adds : " Mgr. Renaldi, Bishop of Pignerol. has addressed a pastoral letter to his clergy, in which he alludes to the soldiers having been called out to join the army, many of them having parents, wives, and children, without support, and impresses on the clergy the necessity of their urging those who have the means to contribute to the relief of the persons so left to their own resources." Official despaches from Trieste, dated March 31, say that within the last 10 days no less than 50,000 men have left for Venice and other places. Lately an. Italian regiment, arriving at Trieste f rom A us - I n Italy, indul ge d in shouts of " L ong li ve Italy !" When this regiment reached Gratz; on it way towards some distant central quarter of the empire, every one man i n ten was ordered to be flogged. MONTE VIDEO. From Monte Nideo the accounts are as follow. They include some interesting particulars with re gard to the prospects of immigrants from Europe : —" Our Legislative Chambers were opened on the Ith of February, w h en t h e P resident ' s Message, containing the customary generalties, was read. The real documents, expository' of the principles and views of the Government —viz., the statements of the Ministers, have not yet been presented. The President has requested the authorisation of the Senate to send .a Minister Plenipotentiary —Don Andres Lamas, the present Minister at Rio de Janeiro —to England and France, to procure the guarantee of these European Governments to the treaty recently c elebrated between this Republic and the Argent confederation and Brazil, of which I made mention , in my last. Senor Lamas is considered a man of some ability, was at one period during the siege Minister of Finance, and is well acquainted with the wants and condition mpa,thi es may of his country. Alth oug h hi s sy be considered with the fallen Colorados, of which party he once formed no unimpor taut member, his long residence at Rio de Janeiro will no doubt have moderated his partisanship, and rendered him perhaps the most impartial agent that could be employed. One of his objects is said to•be tc promote emigration fro m Europe to this count r y, and there can be little doubt many thousands might find immediate 'employment at good wages, parti cularly agricultaristS. • The little Vaudois colony on the Rosario is, I am. informed, likely to do well, and the individuals forming. it are reasonably satis fied with their prospects. A new town is about to be formed at Fray Bantos, on the. Uruguay, and from its local position, being opposite Gualeguaychu in Entre Rios, and the channel of the river running close to its banks, it promises at no distant peri o d (with pea ce ) t o become a commercial centre of con siderable importance. Hitherto towns have been established by the Government, but in this case the enterprise is undertaken by individuals the majority of whom are our countrymen. The Government, it is said, will render any assistance required from them. The mixed commission for the arrangement of British and French - claims on this Government for injuries and losses sustained during the war is at a stand, as the Commissioners for the Republic, after receiving all the proofs that were presented without objection, TIONV wish for further proofs—in Ltd, to go over the business again. It may readily be conceived that after so great a lapse of time, when mostof the witnesses have died or disappeared, this is a matter next to impossible, and as the Go vernment pretends to be satisfied with the proofs already produced, and their Commissioners decline to consider them sufficient, it is generally believed to be a mere shuffle to. ward off for a longer period the acknowledgment of the claims. Unless, there fore, the British and French Governments are firm and decided, the appointment of the Commissioners may be productive of no benefit except to those for titnate individuals. It is currently believed that the Minister of Finance will shortly present a ptoject for arranging the gradual liquidation of what is termed the national debt. The amount is supposed to be 120 millions, and the bonds, as the stock is called, have been as low as per cent. ; they recently advanced to 1 per cent., and may now be quoted at 1 per cent. It is rumoured that Baron Maua, acting as the pri vate, agent of the Government of Brazil, will ad vance moneyto purchase certain claims by which tb,e revenue may be released, and either cash at the rate of 3 per cent. for the bonds will be paid, or they will be valued at 5 per cent., and the Brazilian Gov ernment will guar an t ee t h e annual payment of docent. on th e re d uced capital. There is no doubt if this can be managed, it will be a vast benefit to this country, and with ' a little honesty to administer the revenue the Republic might in the course of a few e freed from debt. The diffi culties between' thaers Uni ted States and Paraguay hive been amicably sident of the Argentin the public o knows Confederation , was the me diator.

Although many persons still believe Ur quiza will invade that Republic, and there can be no doubt he has the inclination to do so, there is at pit-sent no' positive appearance of it, and the sum mer season is now faradvanced. Both the Repub. lic , of Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Confedera tion are progressing favourably. The disturbances in'San Juan have been settled. Little is heard from the gold regions in San Luis, but that little continues to be favourable. "Exchange, 695. the doubloon." 'OPAL INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRITAIN.

The supply of English wheat here to-day was almost wholly composed of Monday's unsold samples. Good and fine qualities were taken off slowly, at Monday's currency. All other kinds ruled heavy, at barely late rates. There was very little inquiry for any kind of foreign wheat—the show of which was good —on former terms. Barley met a heavy sale, and prices were is to 2s per qr. lower than last week. The malt trade was in a most inactive state, and prices were with difficulty supported. Oats were a dull inquiry, and rather cheaper. Both beans and peas were firm in price ; but the demand for flour was very inactive, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats.

The report a the committee upon the Indian and Aus tralian Telegraph Company (No. 2) (Agreements, &c.) was received, and the resolution was agreed to. Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the Dundee and New tyle Railway Bill be recommitted to the former committee, with leave to the committee to sit and proceed on Thursday nest.—Agreed tt). Mr. FITZROY moved the following resolution : " That in case the committee on any private bill, or group of such bills, sha.ll report their opinion to thouse that an bill or bills not yet considered by them should not be entered upon, or that the consideration of any bill already partly considered should not be proceeded with, all further proceedings upon such bills shall be suspended during the present session."--Agreed to. Mr. FITZROY then moved to repeal standing order 169, and to move the following order in lieu thereof :—" There shall not be less than three clear days, nor more than seven, between the first and second readirg of any private bill, unless any such bill:nave been referred to the examiners of petitions for private bills, in which case the bill shall not be read a second time later than seven clear days after the re port of the examiner, or of the select committee on standing. orders, as the cast ; may be." The motion wo.s agreed to. NEWSPAPERS. Mr. AYRTON presented a . petition from the Association for the Repeal of Taxes on Knowledge, in favour of the bill before the h ouse f or the abolition of the registration of newspapers. SUPPLY.—PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Lord PALAIERSTON took the opportunity of making a personal explanation, rendered necessary by something said with regard to his conduct by a person whose autho rity in this country was considerable. He had been accused of unconstitutional conduct in questioning the prero gative of the Crown to dtssolve Parliament, whenever the advisers of the crown might think fit, and upon what ever subject they might deem it right to dissolve upon. He never said anything that could bear that construction—no man in his senses who knew anything of the British Con stitution could question the prerogative of Minis ters to dissolve in any state of public business, but there happened to be conditions of public business at certain periods of the cession at which the advice could not be given and acted upon without injury to the public service. When the supplies had not been voted, and no appropria tion bill had been introduced, it was open to the house to_ refuse their concurrence in a dissolution by withholding supplies,and what he said was Government could not onthis occasion dissolve Parliament without the consent of the house. The house might have refused to agree to the dissolution, and they might have gone further and addressed the Crown in favour of the introduction of another Reform Bill by the Government, or to dismiss the Ministry. This would have been a perfectly constitutional course, and he, therefore, repudiated the charge that the opinion he held was repug nant to the prerogative of the Crown, or in any way con trary to the fundamental and fractical principles of the Bri tish constitution. He should not have advised the course to which he had referred ; he thought it better to accept the challenge to appeal to the people, because he felt perfectly confident of the answer that would bo given to the challenge. There was another point to which he • wished to refer on that occasion. The noble lord :the member for London and himself con curred in the resolutions which were proposed, and he agreed in the general outline of a Reform Bill which was stated a few nights ago by the noble lord. He was in favour of a reduction of the county franchise, of a reduction of the borough franchise and a transfer of seats ; but with regard to the particular limits which the noble lord, sug gested these principles should le carried, and he retained the opinions which he had on former occasions expressed. Sir J. PAKINGTON observed that the language of a noble lord in another place was not open to the remarks the noble lord had made in regard to it. The same language was used by him (Sir J. Pakington) in that house, and. he must retain his opinion that the language of the nobly ; lord on She occasion alluded to was not consistent with res - pect to the Crown, and did tend to call in question the prerogative of the Crown with regard to the dissolution of Parliament. But the speech of the noble lord in the debate upon the second reading, and his speech on Monday last, were en tirely different ; and he was . glad to see th a t th e nobje lard had altered th e intention which he at firtt expressed. Sir G. GREY vindicated the observations of Lora Pal. merston. He thought that the house had done well to leave the responsibility of the dissolution exclusively upon the Government ; but, in regard to' the observatieas made in another place, he characterised the notice taken there; of the noble lord's speech in the House of Cor, mons as a most irregular and unprecedented proceeding. After some remarks from Colonel PPENCII, MALINS complained of the course taken by the Opposition in regard to the Refor.ir. Bill, and observed that the issue before the country, iD • tho ap p eal that was about to be made, would be whethr or not te people had confi dence in the present Minist ers Sir G. C. Lewis note; the precedent of Lord Grey's Government in 1831, show that the question which, in the present appeal t",) the country, was to be placed before the country, war, whether the Government Reform Bill was one that F'dould be adopted. It was a mistake to sup pose that atywant of respect to the Crown had been shown by the way in which this measure had been treated, because the question had been well, considered on the introduction and debated for seven nights upon the second reading. Sir J. PAKINGTON explained that the expressive want want of respect to the Crown, as used by him, referred not to refusal to entertain the bill, but to the observation of the noble lord with regard to the dissolution. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he used the words in reference to a chargd made in that house and elsewhere, that disrespect to the Crown had been shown by the bill not receiving due consideration. Mr. BERNA.L OSBORNE eaukl make excuses for the observations of the hon. member for Wallingford, as he had not had an opportunity in taking part in the debate upon the second reading, but he protested against a printer losing lus pay by an address from that house to the constituency. He thought the debate on the Reform Bill had better be adjourned to the hustings. Mr. SOTHERTON-ESTCOURT characterised the speech of the noble lord opposite, to which reference had been made, as one of absolute defiance, and the course which upon the second reading was one that no member could pursue. (LEFT SITTING.) THE PACIFIC. Files of the Panama 'Star and Herald to the 10th of March have come to hand by the West India steamer Magdalena, arrived at Southampton. The steamship New Grenada, from the South Pacific ports, only reached her anchorage in Panama Bay at 12 o'cloc K at noon on that day, so . that the news is very scanty. The news from Chili continued very unfavour able to the present Goverment. El Comereio, which is a strong Government paper, says, " Mutiny and riot are th e or d er o f the day." The outbreaks in Copiapo and Talca had been followed by others in different provinces. Concepcion, Tome, the Arau canian territory, and in fact the whole country, both north and south, appeared to be up in arms against the existing Government. Business appeared in a perfectly stagnant state, and, although the crops were favourable, it was re ported that, owing to the disturbances, hands could not be procured to save them, and they would be entirely lost.

The naval forces of P eru , bl oc k a ding the port of Guayaquil, had seized, before the island of Puna, the Spanish bark Maria e Julia. This vessel arrived at Puna on February 10th from Central America, loaded with a valuable cargo of indigo, and, the mate being in a dying state, the captain went up to Guayaquil in his boat, with the purpose of leav ing his mate in that city, and taking another for going on his journey to Europe. During the captain's absence, a Peruvian man-of-war, of those forming the blockade before the city of Guayaquil, went down to Puna, and ordered the second mate of the Maria e Julia to leave the ancho rage. The second mate told him that he was un able to navigate the ship. The Peruvian comman- der then took possession of the ship, pulled the Spanish flag down, hoisted the Peruvian, and sent the vessel to Paita with a Peruvian crew, putting the Spanish one on shore in Tumbes. The Spanish Consul in Guayaquil made his claim, protesting against these outrages,_ as the vessel, far from forcing the blockade, had remained quietly in Puna. The blockade of the ports of Ecuador still con tinued. The Countess of Longford and Lady Louisa Pakenham have left town for Tunbridge Wells. Lady Susan Leslie Melville has succeeded Lady Fanny Howard as the lady in Waiting to her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent. Mr. Alfred Tennyson, Poet Laureate, has left Little Holland House, Kensington, for his seat in the Isle of Wight. Count de Jarnac has left Claridge's Hotel for Thomnastown Castle, Ireland. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP ARDENT ON SHORE.— By advicee received from St. Vincent, Cape de Verd, dated March 22, we learn that her Majesty's ship Ardent got on shore in the Bight of Benin, but did not sustain anyserious damage. At the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday a winding up order was grant e d i n the case of the European and American Steam Company. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN CIIATIIAM DOCKYARD. A fatal accident happened yesterday afternoon in this dockyard to a workman named Genevan, employed in the machinery department. The deceased was engaged in doing something to one of the pumping engines, when, from some cause which cannot be explained, his clothes came into contact with a portion of the machinery, and he was imme diately drawn in and almost instantly deprived of life, his body, before the engine could be stopped, being torn limb from limb, and presenting a frightful spectacle.. His re mains were collected and removed to the dead-house to await a coroner's inquest. The deceased was an excellent workman and a very steady MAIL lie has left a widow and six, children. ha ;61 RailwaYs. Paid.' Closing Business Price.

THIRSK. racing presented no feature for comment, and its character is fully indicated by the return which is published in another column. The Ludlow Meeting will be merely a counterpart of that at Shrewsbury, and I shall not therefore longer dwell on the events in Shropshire, but will endeavour to anticipate the doings at Thirsk, where the best meeting of the week will be celebrated to-morrow and Friday. The majority of the animals entered belong chiefly to the Northern stables, and the Yorkshiremen will doubtleSs have all the fun to themselves. 'With the exception of Butter cup, I know . very little of the two-year olds nominated for the Mowbray Stakes, and as she is trained in the county she will, doubt less, eschew Ludlow for Thirsk. Should the Lady Mary colt be sent from Shrews bury to Thirsk, and be none the worse for his journey and his race with The Greek, I shall expect him the best of Tom Dawson's to win the Borough Handicap. For the Hurdle Race, Übique is fancied ; at least I stand the usual cigar with his owner. The Lady Mary colt is also engaged for the Sowerby Plate, and should he win to-morrow, he will only have 3 lbs. extra to carry. The distance is, however, short, and will suit the top weight, Martlet. Little Agnes will find the distance and the com pany for the Thirsk Handicap more to her liking than she did at Northampton, and her success may prove that her running with Delia was a mistake. A FRESH MAN. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT--(This Day). OLD COURT. (Before Air. Justice Erle.) WOUNDING WITH INTENT, ETC. Robert Newman, 49, paper-maker, whose trial stood over from the last session, was indicted with feloniously wounding Jessie Newman, his wife, with intent to murder her. The facts of the case were fully reported in 17te Sun when the prisoner was under examination before the Hon. Mr. Norton at the Lambeth police -court. It will be recollected that he was in the constant habit of threatening and ill treating his wife, and his violence rose to such a pitch, that, at last he procured a chopper, and dealt her a violent blow, for which he was in dicted. The offence was clearly proved, and the jury found him guilty. Sentence of death was ordered to be recorded. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) ALLEGED CONSPIRACY. Ambrose Haynes, a solicitor, surrendered to an indict ment preferred against him for conspiracy. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell.) His Honour the Judge Ordinary disposed of several motions for the appointment of administrators in the goods and chattels of several persons deceased dying intestate, and also granted probate of the wills of several persons deceased; but no point of importance occurred requiring a detailed report. BAYLEY V. BAYLEY. This was a motion for an order for payment ofXlOB, costs of a Chancery jury trial, establishing the validity of a will in favour of the defendant. His Honour observed there was no affidavit produced of the service of the order upon the plaintiff, and by whom served. Moreover, the affidavits produced were not stamped, and could not be received. The case stands over for affi davits. OLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(211IS DAl'. MARLBOROUGH• STREET. THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—ATTEMPTING TO STEAL WATCHES.—Edward Cain, 21, was charged with attempting to steal watches, under the following cir cumstances : Charles Cole, 317 A, said that on the previous night he saw the prisoner with two well-known characters (King horn and Smallbones) in front of the house of Nat Lang ham, a large number of persons being there at the time waiting to learn the result of the fight for the champion ship between Benjamin and Tom Sayers. He watched the prisoner, and saw him go up to a young man, seem ingly a countryman, and say, " Who's won the fight, I should like to know ?" and afterwards saw him put his hand on his watch-guard. A rush of the crowd took place in consequence of the police driving the persons back, and he lost sight of the prisoner for a time. Shortly afterwards saw him in St. Martin's-court, and there he also attempted to steal a watch from a person he got into conversation with. On taking him into custody he fought and kicked liked a bull-dog, made use of the most disgusting language, and it took four constables to get him to the station. On being searched nine cards, used by cardsharpers—being marked cards—were found on him ; also a brass guard chain and some money. Police-constable 145 proved being assaulted while assist ing the last witness, a crowd of 400 or 500 persons being assembled. Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, for the pri soner, said his instructions were that the prisoner had been betting on the fight, and being interested in tbe result, had gone to learn the winner ; add although he had touched a person's guard, there was no proof of his having taken a watch out of a person's pocket. Inspector Holder said some watches were lost at the same place on the previous evening. _ _ Committed for three . months. THAMES. ROBBERY IN A BROTHEL.—EIIen May, aged 16, Sarah Paploe, 20, and Isaac Holmes,26---the first -named described as a prostitute, of 5, Harris's-court, Ratcliff ; the others as brothel-keepers, of 1 and 2, Ashley-place, Stepney—were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch, value £2, and five sovereigns and a half-sovereign, from the person of Thomas Jones, a carpenter, of 20, Tracey-street. Two women who have (escaped were con cerned in the robbery. It appeared that the prosecutor was inveigled into a house in Ashley-place by a loose female, and while there he was ill-used and robbed of his gold and his watch. He was then kicked out of the house. He made his loss known to the police, and he also charged a police-con,stable with stealing his watch. Sergeant Cox, 45 K, made in quiries, and not only established the innocence of the con stable so i mproperly charged, but also traced the watch to the possession of the man Holmes. It had been pawned, and the duplicate relating to it sold, by the female prisoners who joined in the outrage upon Jones. It was stated that the prisoners had been engaged in many outrages and rob beries, and that Ashley-place had been the scene of many robberies of a similar description. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Friday. By the arrival at Suez of the Salsette intelligence is received of the departure for England of the Morning Star, on the 7th of February, with 8,6.58 ounces of gold ; Mermaid, 9th, 13,479 ounces; Sydenham, 10th, 15,216 ounces ; and Sussex, 11th, with 24,689 ounces, making a total of nearly £250,000. Including the ships reported by the last mail and still out, about £1,130,000 in Australian gold is known to be on the way to this country, of which a large proportion is either overdue or due within a week. SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.—The screw steamer Saxonia (belonging to the Hamburg-American Company), Captain Ehlers, was despatched hence . this morning for New York, en route for Hamburg. She takes out a large number of passengers from Hamburg, 12 from Fran ce , an d 26 from this port ; 85,000 francs in specie from Fra nce, an d a full cargo. The London and North-Western Railway Com pany have notified that they are ready to renew their bonds or to exchange them f or d e b enture stock, falling due on the 16 th inst., at 4 per cent. for fi ve , seven, or ten years; bearing interest at 4 per cent. in perpetuity. The American ship Florence, of 1 , 000 tons, h as arr ived in the London Docks, from J a p an , w i t h a cargo con fisting chiefly of vegetable wax . T his is the first cargo from that country. Mr. Frail's venture at Shrewsbury was not attended with much success. The sport was insig nificant both with regard to quantity and quality, and although the fine weather induced numerous holiday folks to throng the course, yet there was a marked falling off in the attendance of " enclosure people." This latter fact, however, may be ex plained by the important proceedings in Parlia- ment, which doubtless detained many of Mr. Frail's principal supporters in London. The ___ • CHURCH RATES AT ST. CJEMENT DANES. The CHAIRMAN said the rate had been allow by the surrogate, and duly made and signed. He re gretted as much as any one that, in any church rate, these squabbles and such a waste of time should take place ; but he, as an inhubitant of the pariah, had paid the rate, and believed that it was not only valid, but of a fair and equitable charac ter. When the rate was made all the parishioners might have been present, but by absenting them selves they must be assumed to have legalised the rate. Mr. BRADLAUGH altid that for the reasons first urged he still thought the justices then present should not entertain the summonses. lie objected that the chairman had prejudged the legality of the rate ; and as to the signing of the rate by the surrogate, that was purely a matter of form, granted without the slightest inquiry into the estimates. The CHAIRMAN said that that rate was carried by a poll. Mr BRADLAUGH contended that that did not legalise the rate. - After some deliberation, the Chairman decided that he should entertain the case. Mr. BRADLAUGH then proceeded to state the case, objecting to the rate on the above ground, announc ing his intention of appealing to the Ecclesiastical Court should the decision of the justices be adverse. Mr. NEX, one of the churchwardens, then an nounced that it was not his intention to ask for any adjudication until they should have taken further advice on the subject. The hearing•of the other cases was made subject to this intimation and deferred. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

Yesterday a batch of church rate summonses, disputed on the ground of their validity, were heard before Messrs. Bailey and Stillwell, two of her Majesty's justices of th e p eace act i ng in and for the 1 2 Strand division of the county o f Midd lesex. 3 The first case was that of M r . T ruelove. Mr. BRADLAUGH, from the office of Mr. T. Ilarvey, who a pp eare d f or th e d e f en d ant, said that L as this case came equally within the jurisdiction of the Bow-street police magistrates, would it not be better that the case should go for decision there ? Not that for one moment he would suppose that that court would be influenced by any private feel- ings, but from the fact that Mr. Isaacson, the vestry clerk of St. Clement Danes, an interested party, and who might in fact be called the plaintiff, was on all points the legal adviser of the bench, it might perhaps be advisable that they should decline to hear the summons. Mr. ISAACSON said it was solely on points of law his opinion would be given. On any other he should decline to offer any advice. Mr. BRADLAUGH called attention to the case of " The Queen v. Byron," Li., p. 134, in which it was decided that on a church rate which was ad. judged bad on the face of it, the justices were not bound to enter. In this case the first item was balance due to the late senior churchwarden, £4B Bs. Id. A retrospective item has always been, held bad. Again, " Chatity dispensed as per churchwardens' account, £192 Bs. 1d,," was an item which could not come within the scope of tt church rate; and although it must be urged that a. sum was set down as balance on the other side, yet that was purely hypothetical. Then insurance for vestry-house, alms-houses, &c., had no connection whatever with the church, and could not be in cluded. For ng kin !r, pre he ncl !nt ler ief en no
