The Sun. — London, England, 1852-06-01 00:00:00

party was formed of four companies of the 51st Light Infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel St. Maur, with the Madras Sappers, under Major H. Fraser, commanding, engineer, and advanced under cover of a jungle, on get ting through which the musketry was so steady and effective from the stockades and adjoining buildings, that s great many of our party were killed and wounded, amongst whom were several officers. I have to deplore the temporary loss of Lieutenant-Colonel Bogle, the Commissioner of the Tentusserim Provinces, who was very braitely attending the army to witness its opera tions. Major Fraser took the ladders to the stockade most gallantly, and alone mounted the defences of the enemy, where his example soon brought around him the s t or ming party, which carried the stockade, but at a very severe loss on our part. " It was my intention to move on to the main object of our operations, but on l oo king around me at the com plete exhaustion of the storming party, it now being eleven o'clock, under a sun that may be understood, since Major Oakes, of the Madras Artillery, was struck down by it at his battery, and died, Breve'-Major Grif fith, Madras Army, while conveying an order, died on the read; Lieutenant -Colonel Foord, Commandant of Artillery, was . nearly a victim to the heat, and obliged to quit the field; Brigadier Warren and Lieutenant- Colonel St. Maur also suffered greatly; so that, under such destruction, I resolved to halt where I was, and to concentrate the force in as strong a position as the coun try admitted of. We were teazel by parties of the enemy hovering armed us till the night closed, whet all was quiet under the protection of our guns, which had been brought up to the front. "On Tuesday, the 13th, it was reported the heavy battery guns could not be landed, and with me, before the middle of that day, and also that ratioes for the troops could not be prepared in time to enable me to advance. I therefore held my position till the next morning. " His Lordship in Council knows w ell t h e of where I proposed to force my way into the Great agoda; and the road I was about to move on entirely turned all the defences of this real stronghold. The present position wh . stood on the river bank, of Rangoon is entirely altered. sie last war; within a few years the old town, has been utterly destroyed, its bricks now lying in heaps on its site. A new town has been formed about a mile Mid a quarter from the river; it is nearly a square, with a band or mud wall about sixteen feet high and eight broad; a ditch runs along each side of the square, and OD b e e n Very north aide , where the P agoda stands , it has b et Very cleverly worked into the defences, to which it feriae a sort of citadel. The distance from the Pagoda to the south entrance of the lowa is about three-quarters of a mile, and it is something more than that breadth from ea st to west. The old road from the river to the Pa goda comes up to the south gate, running through the new town, and it was by this road the Burmese had settled that we should attack it, and where they had made every preparation to receive us, having armed the defences with nearly one hundred pieces of cannon and other missiles, and with a garri son of at least 10 ; 000 men. The attempt to as sault on this side would, I am convinced, from the steady way the Burmese defend their works, have cost us half our force. "On Wednesday, the 14th, the troops were under arms at 5 .LDI.; all in as fine a temper as ever men were. Our march was to the north-west, through th;ck jungle; four light guns, 9-poundere, 'their flanks pro tected by two companies of her Majesty's 80th Regi• merit. the rest of the wing of that corps following, with two more guns, and the 18th Royal Irish and the 40th Bengal Native Infantry, formed the advance. The 51st Light Infantry and the 35th Madras Native Infantry were in reserve; the 9th Madras Native Infantry keep ing open the communication with the shipping. We pro ceeded in this order for about a mile, when we opened the Great Pagoda, and its fire was turned on us. An excellent position for two guns was taken by Major Turton to our left flank; these were left under the cog mand of Major Montgomery, of the Madras Artillery, who served them well. The ground to the front getting very difficult barely admitted of the 80:h and Royal Irish occupying it in close order. We had now c ompletely turned the enemy's position, having passed their etockaded toper, and got opposite the east side of the° Great Pagoda, our main object. Major Tartan iuforined me that he had a favour able position to place in battery his heavy guns; but it took some time to bring them up, a service in which the navy brigade of e about 120 men, under the command of Lieut. Dorville; of her Majesty's frigate Fox, assisted by the Artillery, rendered their invaluable atd. under a heavy fire of guns and wall pieces from the Great Pa goda and town, from which they suffered severely. While this was going on the enemy's artillery had got the range of our crowded position, and their skirmishers had somewhat closed upon us, and it took 500 men to keep down their fire. The practice of the heavy battery, under Major if.ck, was very effective. My intention was to have stormed the Pagoda at noon, but at a little after 11 Captain Latter, of the Bengal Army, my inter preter, assure d me he felt confident, from what he could see of the east entrance of the Pagoda, on which our battery was playing, that the en trance was clear, and that he was prepared to show the way. As our people were dropping. fast where we stood, I determiued on an immediate assault. The storming party was formed of the wing of her Majest)'• 80th Regiment, under Major Lockhart, two companies of the Re ) al Irish, under Lieutenant Hewitt, and of two companies of the 40 h Bengal Native Infantry, under Lieutenant White, the whole com manded by Lieutenant-CJleuel Coote, of the 18th Royal Irish, Captain Latter accompant iug the party to show the road. Tee advance to the east entrance of the Pagoda was or .beut 800 yard which the troops crossed in a most steady manner, under the fire of the wtrls, crowded with the enemy, the remainder of the force fol lowing closely. W hen the storming party reached the s t e p,. a tr e m e ndous rush was made to he upper terrace, and a deafs-ning cheer told that the rzgod,a no longer belonged to the Bur Lee:“,. The enemy ran in confusion from 'the southern and vv‘stc,rii gates, where they• were met by the fire of the steamers. Ail the country around has fallen with toe Pagois; acid, I unf!trstand, the once strong post of Keneiaendine has been abaudoued and destroyed. ' In this united service there hits been not only a cor dial co-opsration between the army and navy, but so much good-heartednesa that toeir joint efforts have tended to secure the rapid success of this expedition. I cannot presume to say of Rear-Adenirel Austen, C. 8., commanding the navy, mere than to express my admi ration and respect fur his qualitien'and to thank him for his able and never fading assistance. Commodore Lambert, whose epii it never is at rest whilst anything is to be done, and whose heart is ever ready to accomplish what he undeinakes, has my cordial thanks and warmest gratitude. I particularly wish to draw the. attention of his Lordship in Council to Commander Fish bourne, of her Majesty's steamer Hermes, who from the first fitting out of the expedition in Calcutta to the close of these operations has been inde''atigable in assisting in the embarnation of stores and troops, and in removing diffi culties, and finding resources, which alone-enabled the expedition to sail at the time appointed, and nothing will give me such satisfoctien as his aid, were a forward movement to be made hereafter. " My most difficult task now commences, that of re bel:emending to the protection of the Governor General • in Council a number of brave men who hr.ve had oppor tunities of distinguishing themselrea in a service where !ie utmost emulation and gallant devotion were shown by all.

Lynch, of the Indian Navy, command ing the Indian Naval Squadron in the Bay of Bengal, to the address of Sir Henry Leeke, containing particu lars of the capture of Rangoon by the British naval and military forces on the afternoon of the 14th ult. " CAPTAIN H. B. LYNCH, COMMANDING THE SQUADRON OF THE INDIAN NAVY IN THE BAY OF. BENGAL, TO COMMODORE SIR HENRY LEEKE, CO3IMANDER•IN CHIEF OF THE INDIAN NAVY. " Sir,—ln continuation of my,last letter of the 10th inst. I have the honour to inform you that Rear-Admiral Austen and the whole of the squadron having joined us below the Hastings Send, on the evening of Saturday, the lOtle, the squadron under my command—each vessel having two transports in tow on the morning of the 11th (with the exception of the Zenobia, which vessel un fortunately grounded on the De Silva Shoal, and was not in company) crossed the Hastings Sand, and anchored a little below the stockades, having cast off the trans ports when clear over the Hastings Shoal. Almost immediately on our anchoring, at 9 30 A 31., the enemy opened fire, which was returned by the Fer(in. Sesostris, and Moozuffer,. the B-?renice and Mediisa having anchored some distance below. At 9 40 AX. the magazine of the principal stockade at the King's-wharf was blown up by a shell from the squadron; at 10 A.M. her Majesty's ship Fox passed up in tow, and opened fire. The enemy's fire was soon silenced; at 10 15 &la. (leased firing, and at 30 minutes past noon a party from the Fox landed, took and burnt the Della stockade, on the right hand of the river. At 5 P.M. weighed and stood up the river, anchoring ahead of her Majesty's ship Fox, abreast of the King's-wharf, the Admiral having previously taken and burnt the stockades on the right, or Dane bank of the river; at 5 15 Pat, two stockades just above •us having opened fire, were quickly silenced by our fire, and the maga zine of the stockade on the upper wharf bjown up, the enemy's lite ceased for the night. At 4 Lea next morning (12th April), landed her Majesty's 51st Regiment from the Feroza and Sesostris, and the 9th and 35:h Madras Native Infantry from the Moozaffer and Zenobia, the Zenobia having joined during the night. Having landed the troops, and obtaired the Admiral's permission, proceeded up the river and anchored abreast the upper stockade, with the Sesostris, Mo. zuffer, Zenobia, and landed parties from the ves-e1; of the squidreu under commend of Captain Gimped!, and burned tho stockades with Alt opposition, the slieray having evacuated them previously to the lending of the party. " Being now abreast of the Great Pagoda, and the line of the principalml dhe ui,nee sto s cks i d i jouga,t and upper end of an open plain, e found we could do so with effect, the shells bursting over the pageda. Ceased firing by signal from the Admiral. Corainodore Lambert came on board and desired me to proceed up to Kernmendine, where her Majesty's brig Serpent, and Phlegethon steamer had attacked the stock ade, weighed aid stood up, Moozuffer in company, and anchored at dark a-head of the Serpent, about three quarters'or a mile below the Keromenaine stockade. "The next morning (April 13), flood tide having made, the river being too narrow to allow the ship to swing at anchor off the stockade, dropped up in company with the Serpent,,Muozuffer, and Phlegethon, abreast the stockade, which not returning our fire, landed a party from the vessel, as previously arrang,d, und er .command of the first lieutenant of the Serpent, and burnt the Stockade, the enemy having evacuated it on the approach of the steamers. I then returned, Moo zuffer in company, and rejoined the admiral off Rangoon, anchoring, in the same positions as yesterday, abreast the Great Pagoda, and the squadron shelled the pagoda daring the night, by order of the Admiral. At two A at. ceased firing to allow the troops then near the .steckado to advance; and I am heppy to inform you that Rangoon was taken by our troops this afternoon. " I send this off too hurriedly to be able to forward any other papers from the sqaadron, which I am happy to state is all in good order and health. "It is prohebte the Moozuffer will be detached for the protection of Martaban, the Zenobia, and Berenice for troop to Vizsgapatara, end the Sesostris to Calcutta with dispatches., • " I have;&c., " U.

JUNE 1, 1852. Several important resolutions for the readier dis• patch of business were &greed to by the House of Commons on Friday evening—having been proposed by the Ri g ht H on . Gentleman the CHANCELLOR of the E XCHEQUER . Wh atever may b e t h e r esult, the mere circumstance is one in the highest degree satis' factory. It evidences at last that solicitude to bring 1 the Parliamentary dii.cussicns to a close which has been earnestly, hitt hitherto vainly, anticipated from the members of her MAJESTY'S Government. Minis' tars would appear to have at length recognised the impossibility of ptottutilag the debts much -longer without in some sort violating the temporary confidence reposed is them at the commencement of the session by the people of the United Kingdom. Ample time has been afforded them for the preparation of their electioneering arrangements—the only reasonable re ward which it was possible the nation could bestow upon statesmen who, at an emergency like the pre sent, have ventured to assume the somewhat thank• less responsibilities of the administration. They have long since obtained the various estimates re quired for the carrying on of the numerous depart ments of the Government. They have acquired even a certain amount of popularity by the liberal form and free-trade tendency of their financial statement. Thry have been feasted by goldsmiths, by Royal Academi cians, and by the chief of the metropolitan municipality. They have found their political pathway—a pathway that threatened to prove so peculiarly rugged and distrustful—smoothed before them by the magnani mity. of the multitude, and even strewn in some places with the flawers of after-dinner complimeat. It was but right, therefore, that the Easter recess, having passed by without any anxiety, on the part of the Cabinet,to expedite the lab ours o f th e sess i on , some testimony of the existence of that feeling should be given at least before the arrival of the holidays at Whitsuntide. To a sense of this we may attribute the series of resolutions agreed to on Friday evening, i n compliance with the suggestion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The wordink of these resolutions will be found on examination to be indicative of a really earnest desire to hasten the labours of the session to a conclusion. The first on the list, for example, suggested " that whenever the House shall sit for dispatch of busi ness o'clock on an y d ay except W e d nes d ay and a t Saturday, wteive if such business be disposed of not later than three o'clock, the House will resume its sittings at five o'clock; and if such business be dis posed of after three o'clock and before four o'clock, the House - will resume its sittings at six o'clock." Nothing could, 'surely, be more rational than this, and eq..ally admirable in its tendency is the proposal immediately following, to the effect " that when such business has not been disposed of at four o'clock, Mr. Sreaxeit (or the Chairman, in case the House shall be in Committee) do leave the chair, and the House will resume its sittings at six o'clock, when the orders set orders d of the d ay not disposed ' of at the morn ing sitti ng, and any motion which was under ow d a iscu ba ssio t n be at orde f r o_u b r ook o'c a lo ft c e k r , , tb sh e all otb b er be of the day." speakin g , By such an arrangement as this it i s man if est t h at a cons i derable amount of the busin ess still upon the papers mi g ht "b e go t through" in an i n t erva l o f t i me, comparatively insignificant. Equally meritorious are the two subsequent resolutions—the one 0 that whenever the House shall be in Committee at four o'clock, the Chairman do report progress when the House re sumes its sitting ;" and the other, " that all dropped orders of the day be set down in the order-book, after the orders of the day for the next day on which the House shall sit"—thereby ensuring, as far as it is at all practicable to ensure,.the assiduity of those who may be in attendance in the Lower House of the Legislature. For these resolutions, it will be observed, that the country is directly in debted to the Right Hon. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—the Minister who, out of the whole of the present Cabinet, has evinced the greatest readiness and, in many respects, the largest capacity to carry out some at least among the wishes of the population. It cannot but be a source of profound gratification to observe, that in these particulars at any rate, the only " man of the people " in the ranks of the Tory Government has been the very one to evince, by act, as well as by word, a practical anxiety to further the cause of the national welfare, and the very one who, in doing this, has revealed no inconsiderable capacity for conducting the labours of administration. It must be remem bered, for example, that among all his colleagues, Mr. DISRAELI was the first to recognise the inde structibility of the free-trade system, 'and the folly of still insisting upon the wholesale or even retail re vival of monopoly. It was only the other evening that the PRIME MINISTER was induced by the force of circumstances, reluctantly, and even then some ' what ambiguously, to make the same acknowledg ment. That acknowledgment, hewevee, had been made long before—honestly, and, considering its im portance, we may add boldly—by the Right Hon. Gentleman the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. While Sir FITZROY KELLY was • still declaiming vociferously upon the necessity of insisting upon the restoration of the principles of protection, and while the possibility of so doing was still in a great mea sure believed in by Mr. G. F. YOUNG, at one time the recognised BOANER OES of the agriculturists, Mr. DISRAELI had come to the conclusion that such a coutse would be found to be erroneous, because dia metrically opposed to the wishes of the general com munity. Thinking thus, he bad the candour to avow his convictions; and 'within the last fortnight we have seen that conviction acceded to as just by no less a personage than the Noble Earl the Leader of her MAJESTY'S Government. Before Lord DERBY allowed himself thus to scatter despair among the ranks of the country party, it must not be forgotten that way had been prepared' for the final decla ration the of the PRIME M INISTER u p on th e su bj ec t b y the financial statement submitted to the House of Commons by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Of that financial statement, indeed, it could scarcely be possible that the Liberal party throughout these islands could very speedily lose a recollection. It constituted a magnificent eulogium upon the system founded as far back as 1842. by Sir Pear —the system of free trade, the system of remitted E t E azation, the system sung by ELLIOT, g COBDEN, proposed and re-propos e d by ait oiEi idTt t e by originally yL 1 VILLIERS, argued and re-argued by iIUSBISSON, and suggested by ADAM SMITH, the Corzaincus of the political economists. There was magnanimity as well as wisdom, therefore, in the conception of Mr. DISRAELI'S Budget, and there was courage as well as skill in the manner of its actual announcement. For this the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is en titled to the approving voice of the multitude, whose praise will be not the less willi ng ly accorded to a it man of the people," whose distinguished abilities have elevated hi m t o one o f t h e mo st difficult and responsible. offices to which he could have been nominated the duties of that office he has already displayed his capacity, whil e , as l ea d e r of the House of * Commons, he has his S OVE R EIG N. For the discharge of has revealed en aptitude for the manage ment of affair s , an d a t e mper i n the governance of debate, such as could hitherto have alone bee n a n • ticipated f rom an adm i n i stra t or of prolonged experience. These facts, we repeat , it is satisfactory t o recall to t h e g eneral remembrance. For, so l ong as the nat i on i s f a ted to behold the Tories in the possession of the seals of office, it is consolatory at least for the people to recognise in the group of C a bi net Mi n i s t ers one who, suddenly selected offered to hi s gen i us by fro m among themselves, has justifie d the tribute thus evidencing an intuitive capability for presiding over the machinery of government. Nothing could possibly have been in better taste than the speech in which Sir Hanny SMITH yester day thanked the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Portsmouth for their spontaneous address of congratulation. In offering him those congratulations, honeyed over with the phrases of panegyric, the municipality and inhabitants of Ports mouth were at the same moment, unconsciously it may be, but truly, forcing upon that unluckly per sonage Earl GREY a cup filled to the very brim with gall and wormwood. We suspect, moreover, that it will not b e th e on l y d raug ht o f the lik e kind ad- minister e d t o t h e ex- C o l on i a l S ecre t ary . Th e m otion of Mr. A DDERLEY it was possi b le to eva d e by the resignation of th e sea l s Of government. But we rather anticipate thit it will prove somewhat more difficult f or th e wr i ter o f the notorious dispatch, dated " Downing -street, 14th Janua r y ," to esca p e from the exposure consequent upon the return to England of his Excellency the late Governor of the Cape. There will inevitably be not only pro. vincial evidences o f sympathy accorded to 1 Sir /Imlay SidITII by town councils emulating the course pursued by the corporation of .Portsrnouth,- but there will b e demonstratiOns of a rimilar cha racter, we d ou bt not, in more than O ne part of the metropolis, to welcome home the gallant veteran 'vrhal wvs grossly and want;;nly insalted by Eni GE at I the very time when, in a remote quarter of the globe, he was doing good service to his country and his SOVEREIGN. Besides which, it is just possible—we hint this for the satisfaction of the peace of mind of the late Colonial Secretary—it is just possible that the matter may be brought under the no tice of the House of Commons before the approaching dissolution of Parliament. We can pro mise the Noble Lord, moreover, that whatever may be the issue of these proceedings, it is by no means probable that he will secure for himself any very considerable amount of commiseration. There is one passage in those incomparable verses of an in comparable poet, the " Universal Prayer" of POPE, which—without profanity we would say it—natu rally rises at this moment to recollection, suggested by the course pursued towards Sir HARRY SMITH by the Colonial Secretary under the late Adminis tration— ".Teach me to sooth another's woe, To hide the fault I see; That mercy 1 to others slaw, That mercy slew to me !" From the gallant veteran to whom the dispatch of the 14th of January was addressed, it is not by any means probable that the blow of retaliation will descend—or might we not rather call it ?—the blow of expiation. The character of Sir HARRY SMITH precludes us from the idea that he will avenge him self; instead of allowing himself to be avenged by others. Besides, he is altogether so obviously in the right that he can afford to regard the course of events in the matter with a serenity having the appearance almost of indifference. As af ' fording an incontestable proof that this serenity is unaffected, it is only necessary to turn to the remarks uttered yesterday by Sir HARRY SMITH when addressing the inhabitants of Portsmouth. His observations were as devoid of any evidence that his feelings bad been for a single instant wounded, as the language had been which was used by 'Amin responding to the notorious dispatch of the ex-Colonial Secretary. Referring to his peculiar and perilous position at first in Southern Africa, he very aptly and strikingly remarked, that he was " a Governor without a legislature, and a Commander-in-Chief without an army." Nevertheless, such had been his conduct during the period of his administration of the affairs of the Cape, that he was enabled to assert that his policy had hitherto been attended with successes, and that at the period of his leaving the colony it gave promise of proving very speedily triumphant. Sir HARRY acknowledged that his object had been, from the outset, in the desire of saving the " money and blood" of his country, to vanquish his an tagonists without applying for assistance either to the mother country or to the adjacent colonies. "I was endeavouring," he said, " to hold my ground as others had recommended, feeling that if the Minister of the day wished to retain Kafraria he would furnish me with the men to do so, whilst, if he did not want to keep Kafraria, a good retreat might be made, with less disgrace with a small army than with a large one." At that moment, he remarked, reinforcements arrived at the Cape, and both as Com mander-in-Chief and Governor he was com _pelled thereupon to extend the scene of his operations, and the difficulties of his situation were of course at once vary considerably multiplied. Speaking of those difficulties, he said, "I had not only 30000 or 40,000 warlike savages to contend with, but I had a large body of Hottentots, who were supposed to be our friends—if savages ever can be friends—but who now turned agaiost us. I then stood alone in a storm in which, I maintain, no other man ever did before in our own time. But the Minister sending out forces, time should have been given me ; but," continued Sir HARRY referring to his subsequent ill-treatment in a tone of the noblest magnanimity, " he, like myself, of an ardent temperament, believing I was acting slowly, though I was not asleep—(Cheers) — was dissatisfied. Still I was doing as much as could be done, and I speak now the opinions of a general who has been in every description of warfare." Than these surely no words could be more temperate, and to appreciate their generosity it should be remembered that they were spoken after the bitterest provocation. The concluding portion of the speech delivered by Sir HARRY SMITH upon this in teresting occasion is altogether too remarkable, as throwing light upon his policy, and upon the conse quent position of affairs at the Cape at this • moment, not to command for itself the most serious considera tion. "The measures I had commenced," he said, " I left to the gallant officer, my successor, who relieved me with the greatest courtesy and kindness, and I left him in command of an intrepid army in as good a position as could be desired, for the enemy bad been driven over the Kei ; and I still think that my measures will ultimately be those which will bring peace, tranquillity, and the ex- Govern or o f the " the which Such were the Cape acknowledged th e con g ratulations of his fellow countrymen' at Portsmouth , on . again netting foot p he ro fi s t p ti e n r g ity terms y. to incolon upon the shores o f England. Simple though his language was, we regard it as yielding conclusive evidence, if only from the very fact of its amenity, of his complete and honourable vindication. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Sunday, being Whit-Sunday, was kept as a close holiday at the office of all the newspapers except that of the Pays. In that journal there a re t wo l ea di ng articles, o ne on the notice in the Moniti ur ( g i ven i n yesterday's Sun) on the rumours that have been cur rent respecting t he foreign r e l at i ons of France, the other on the reports. of accounts of 1848. Ou the first subject the Pays says " The declaration published in the official journal, in reply to the reports accredited by the foreign journals on the attitude of Earope towards France, has met with unanimous approbation. There are three things which result from this important declaration;-1. That Europe has not threatened nok &ea it think of threatening France in the independence of her political sovereignty; 2. Th a t Prince Louis Napoleon has not changed in his intentions and in his sentiments, so nobly expressed in his apes eh of the 29th of March, when he declared that the Empire could never come except as the result of a necessity for the safety of the country in the crisis of parties; .and 3. That France, deciding on respect ing t he - rights of other nations, is not less so in tusking her own respected' in the acts which shall manifest her will to preserve of to modify her' institutions. What the Government has just said in the Moniteur, we have said every day for the last two months in the pays. But the Government, in piing it the authority of its word, will have produced a result which we alone could not obtain; it will have restored calm and confidence in the public mind. There is nothing now unknown in our future situation. What is shown and what is known to all is the force of right both at home and abroad. At home nothing will be done by surprise or from adven ture; the nation will decide on its fate; it will accept that which may appear to it just and necessary. Abroad France 'will threaten no one, and will make herself respected by every one. This policy is really wise and. noble. It secures the order and stability of France and guarantees the peace of Europe. The Government of Louis Napoleon has employed the best means of discon certing its enemies both at home and abroad; it has co vered itself with the only buckler which is invulnerable --•-the force of its right. When a government has right on its side it is just enough not to threaten, and strong enough not to draw back." - The same journal says—" We have already stated that the Bill on instruction had not been withdrawn, as sots e journals have erroneously stated ' , but only postponed. A religious journal now states t lh_ atseve ral members of the episcopacy have presened obser vations to the Government on the subject of this Bill. We know not whether th is be correct or not, but we know that objections have been raised against it by some of the most devoted partisans of the Uni versity, Thus this Bill, which somebishops opp ose d as being too uoiversitary, was objected to at t h e satae time by some universitari an as being too Catholic. Does not this show that the new . law has given an equal share to the civil and religious powers, and has found theaneans of reconciling their respective rights without exaggerating or weakening eith er ?" The advocates of the Council of State, M. P. FADES and M. MATHIEU BUDET, charged to defend the appeal of the Princes of the Orleans family against the decrees relative to their property, have published a memoir, from which it ap pears that they intend to rely on four points— viz., 1, th:t the Princes possess the property in virtue of the deed of the 7th August, 1830, and that that property could not return to the state before the 9th August; 2, that they are heirs of the ICING, their fether, for that part of Neuilly which was purchased subsequent to 1830, and of Madame ADELAIDE for part of the domain of Monceaux; 3, that they have : enjoy e d th e proper ty f or more than twenty Yearsrci what they considered a good title and with subjec t of ; 4,, that the property has been made the e of marriage secreate d ttletnents, which havea their cable rights for. the married 'parties an trrbjevo-6 chil dren_.; and finally, that the ordinary, .111dicial UM nal& have jurisdiction in the case. tin &moo:NINA is Btated iu 4 retie letter , in _ of Brussels, that M.

The Madrid Gazette . ot the 26th contains a royal decree nominating a special commission to examine and revise the regulations respecting theatres and public spectacles. A letter states that Lord HOWDEN had returned to Madrid from his excursion in Andalusia, and had left for Aranjutz to take leave of th. KING previous to setting out for England on leav , of absence, the First Secretary of Legation, Mr. OTWAY, to act as Charge d'Affaires until his return. The letter adds : —" The proposed reforms in the organic laws are abandoned ; but some political men are strong!y of opinion that they are only postponed." A letter in the Espana, from Cadiz, announces the arrival there of a steamer from the Havannah, with accounts to the 30th ult. At that date, the island enjoyed perfect tranquillity. The committee of the patriotic subscription for rewards and succour for services rendered to the Government, in the invasion of LOPEZ, have distributed to the wounded and to the heirs of the persons who were killed, 149,184 dollars (745,905 f.) The Queen of SPAIN has just created a new deco.. ration for ladies. It is to be called the Medal Cross of Queen Labelle, it is in enamelled gold, and orna mented with brilliants. On days of ceremony it will be worn suspended round the neck by a red ribbon, and on ordinary days it will be attached to the left shoulder with a small ribbon of the same colour. The Three per Cents. were done at 44; the New Three per Cents. at 22 1-16; the D bt of the First Class at 8i; and that of the Se and at 5 5-16. GE tillidds4 Y. The New Gazette of Bremen states that thirty.•four of the persons arrested there, on the charge of having been concerne = d in a conspiracy, have been set at liberty, after having undergone an interrogatory. The plot was, it seems, concocted by a young man, noted for the violence of his political opinions ; but it is, it appears, far from having the importance which was at first supposed. The Hanoverian Chambers were adjourned cn the 28th to the 4th June. Thr Diet of Oldenburg decided on the 28th, in a secret sitting, by 32 votes to 12, that the treaty of September between Hanover and Prussia ehould be acceded to under certain conditions. A meeting of 400 manufacturers and tradesmen, belonging to the different Sates of the Z .11verein, was held at Halle a few days ago, and a series of reso lutions were paseed pro•esting against any naeai_re calculated to compromise the renewal of the ZJll verein. A Berlin journal states that the arrangement con cluded by the King of DENMARK and the Duke of AUGUSTENBURG, relitive to the succession of the Danish throne, id about to be discussed by the Ger manic Diet. The official journal of Carlsruhe contains a notifi cation frum the Regent, declaring that the state of siege is to be pmlonized. The Coloa 6 ne Gazette stat es th a t i n the Customs Congress at Berlin, on the 25 b, the propositions of Bavaria agreed to at the meeting at Darmstadt were printed, and that they were signed by the plenipo tentiaries of twenty-five States, including the Grand Duchy of Baden. On the same day, the Gazette adds, a note relative to the Zoilverein reached the Prussian Cabinet from Vienna, but its contents were not known. The Nuremberg Correspondent states that several of the States of the Germanic Conffderatio❑ have addressed to the Diet a protest against the decision come to by Russia and Austria, in the name of the Confederation, respecting the differences between those States and Denmark. The Emperor of RUSSIA quitted Potsdam on the 26th, to return to Warsaw. The EMPRESS remained at Potsdam, but was to leave the following day for Sehlangenhad. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Ber lin, dated the 28th :—" The Emperor of RUSSIA did not exhibit such marks of hostility to the constitu tional system as might be supposed. It is oven said that his MAJVSTY would have seen with pain the dis solution of the Chambers. The CZAR, it is said, declared that Prussia ought not to weaken any ther her mor a l au th or ity, but ought to prove that Con servative interests could only gain by the scrupulous execution of the promises made." The difficulties which have arisen between the Ba varian Government slid the high clergy are not yet removed. On the 23d, the Bishops handed to the KING a reply to the resolution concerning the execu tion of the Concordat. The Bishops unanimously 'insist on their former pretensions. Baron AN SELME DE It oTHSCHILD, of Frankfort, whoT for some time past has been seriously ill, is now much better. An unportinit commercial firm at Hamburgb, Messrs. E--- and F---, has, says the Independence of Brussels, just failed. Its liabilities amount to 1,500,000 f. The failure is partially ascribed to heavy losses sustained by a bankruptcy in London. BELGI UM. Negotiations, says a Belgian journal, are being carried on between Bolgium and England for a treaty for the extradition of criminals and civil offenders. HOLL ;ND. The Stoats Courant ann unces that on the 27th ult. the Dutch Minister of Foreig❑ Aff4irs concluded with the French Ambsssadur a treaty for the sup pression of literary piracy. SWITZERLAND.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the LoRD CHANCELLOR.) Pap • IN RE NORTH OF ENGLAND BANKING CO3IPANY EX HOLMES—JUDGMENT. t ia, The LORD CHANCELLOR, in delivering jadgui-th this case, said the questian for his decision was, wh er "iC a person who traeeferred his shares in a joint-9074., company three years before the stopping of the cotallie could be made a contributor to the liabilities under o t is t wintling.up Act. In all the,ecor,cerns there acres gr.;o - floating bAlances and open accounts, sod the scarcely possible at any given moment to aF.certm°„—ne, actual profits or losses. Therefore, generally sPen -- a when a person became a purchaser of an interest to " t i e a these concerns, he took it just he found it, wi th v er . I:iss or benefit, which ever it might turn Out to r pa l t•' therwise an acco u nt o f every li a bili ty i n 00°- ot ocular transaction up to the ti m e of tra p , would have to bo escertained, in Ofde i r in so . arrive at the actual amount of loss, 30d "r-rialeot a special provision were made to meet a difficulty eL .kind it would be almost impossible to perform l' °ch e or_ operation. In this company there had been 1,2%0 1 300 transfers, and if the argument of the apPed ant a,. a right, the amount of loss ought to have been Wef t :ft s t; in each of these instances up to the period of MO' o f It was quite clear this could not be done. The O °T, P b llll. went on tee sure road to ruin, for the securities an. hoe they held were scarcely worth the paper on whic h : „ l . o os were written, except so far as they were used for fiet' - ri e. purposes. hew was it possible to ascertain at wha t t r - u e. ocular period a debtor was insolvent. The E s ' a " be doubttdly said that when a man sold his she res oill should be absolved from future liability,- but shoul d t he be liable for his proportion of loses sustained by be_ company up to the period when he ceased 1. 0 0 a holder, but in what way was the ascertainm ent o losses provided for in the deed of settlement. It P of vided that the directurs should kee books_. • • account, and make explicit and true entries of all traol'i. actions of the bank, acid also that at the half - Y eSf r . , meetings they should exhibit to the shareholders a 0 8 0 0 , atarement of the profits c! p proper rect baiance-sheet, and a had probable amount of losses. If the directorsid their duty, which they entirely neglected, there have appeared on the face of the accounts a consiOszo'f. able loss; but the accounts were frau dulent ones, ;he, they showed a large amount of p rofits when, in fact, a., undertaking had rust from its commencement. lie e il t . sidered that the balance-sheet as rendered bY : di rec tors at the lialf-yearly meeting were bin-,-0 be 3 , an all the partners; but if be lot at Di es , he saw no evidence of any-loss to which Mr. 1 1 ° 11 :/ r ,' could be made liable. It was true that one viitnesg.,,, h e Headlatio, stated he knew from the first moment 0' the insolvency of the company; but he was a very cul,P b d, person, for he had the charge of the books, s e " j o g assisted the directors moat improperly in preisshr'oo false balonce•sheets, and in decetvieg those to w hf a 're they were bound to act fairly. Notwithstanding , t- d e sl, fire, the statement of that person, he had no Pr a ,L e et evidence on•which he could act before him, wbio b j - iesti, prove that the company bad sustained any It genes, when Mr. Holmes sold his shares. there was 11 , A ea he was undoubtedly responsible none so far as the evidence went. From the be lt/11 4 W sheet the company appeared to be in a prosperous par not only were there no losses, but there we re goi° 9 ! - bit divided. He was, therefore, clearly o f o pinion th% t er, gentleman was not liable for any l oss i ncurre d by the k -6 - ° a - pany, and, without any reserv a ti on of any Bert or -1 he would clawith costs, the appeal . Appeal dismissed. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY' ) (Before Mr. Jus ice WIGIITMAN.) THE QUEEN v.
