White forced a handkerchief into the complainant's mouth to pre vent her screaming, and afterwards drew a knife and threat ened to murder her if she resisted. He also demanded all the money she h a d, and searched her pockets for the purpose of taking it The charge was fully substantiated against both the prisoners. T . he def ence set up by both of them was that they had seen ale girl in 4 public-house in the neigh bourhopd, but . did not go out with her ; that they were in nine o clock, and requested that the orderly ser barracks by geant might be s?nt for,, for, could prove such was the fact.

Whether the Parliament is to be dissolved before the 10th or subsequently to the 18th of June, is the question for the solution of which the electors of the United Kingdom are now looking forward with some solicitude. That the appeal to the country must, in all likelihood, take place before the approaching summer has far advanced is by this time generally admitted. From the commencement of the present session, under the auspices of the new Cabinet, it was obvious that the interest of Ministers leant decidedly towards the policy of procrastination. It was clearly advisable for them to delay the period of the general election until such time as their tactics could be arranged, fur it cannot be forgotten that their elevation to office was even to the most sanguine amongst them not only altogether unex pected, but literally a cause to some of indifferently concealed amazement. The late Cabinet resigned upon a question of subordinate importance, after having been again and again defeated with impunity upon subjects, the condemnation of which would in fallibly have led to the downfall of any Government less tenacious of power. After clinging to the Treasury benches during a sequence of disgracefully overwhelming minorities, upon little more than a point of etiquette, in regard to the precise mode of re-organizing the militia, the Whigs hastily—one might almost say, petulantly—sent in their resigna tion, being induced to act thus from the bittter sense that the statesman who had placed them in this ridiculous position was (of all men in the Hcuse of Commons) Lord PALMERSTON. Smarting under the lash of his rather summary vengeance, the former colleagues of the Noble Viscount, and the Earl GRAN• VILLE, hurriedly tendered their resignations. At the time Lord JOHN RUSSELL waited upon her MAJESTY to announce the speedy dissolution of his Adminis'ra tion, Lord DERBY was then out of town, and an ex press had to be forwarded into the country summon ing the future Prime Minister to London, in order that he might be in readiness to respond to the summons of his SOVEREIGN. The political circles were in a state of almost unprecedented agitation, interviews took place hurriedly between the various leaders of party, in the hope that some com promise or combination might be effected. MI these expiring efforts termina`ed, however, almost imme diately in the Earl of DERBY being entrusted by her MAJESTY with the task of forming a new Adminis tration. Every one remember, of course, the perio dical publication of the list of Ministers arranged by the PREMIER, and the announcements which followed each other in rapid succession of the different per sonages who consented to take office in the new Government. Nearly a week elapsed before the catalogue was sufficiently filled up to admit of its insertion in the Gazette, but at length, by the most energetic proceedings on the part of the First Lord of the Treasury, the Ministry, not definitively con templated a month before, was called into existence— its advent to power being celebrated by the memo rable_inaugurative address delivered by the Earl of DERBY towards the close of February from his place in the Upper House of Parliament. Summoned thus abruptly into Existence, it would clearly have been preposterous in the Protectionist Cabinet to dream for an instant of appealing to the country before some reasonable time for meditation and preparation had elapsed: Indeed, the business of the country demanded the attention at least of the House of Commons before there could be any reasonable prospect of a dissolution. Since then a quarter of the year has sped by : the estimates have long since been granted : the Budget has been brought forward by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER : some of the routine labour of the session been got througk Ministers have had time for reflection and for prepare ration—but as yet there has not been a whisper as to the time when the cities, boroughs, and counties will be called upon to return anew their respective representatives. As usual, there has been an into lerable amount of discussion about subjects which, in their nature, are really, as fat as the public is concerned, of subordinate interest. Mr. SPOONER has made a great deal of fuss, for example, about the grant to the College of Maynooth. Mr. WAL POLE, again, has laid upon the table of the House one of those unlucky Bills which, while they give voice to a momentary panic, would, if carried into effect, confer little advantage upon the community, and which, nevertheless (or, perhaps, because of those two very reasons) are provocative of discussion after discussion, and adjournment after adjournment. And meanwhile the spring is rapidly developing into summer without the slightest intimation as to when the general election may be anticipated. Consider ing the forbearance shown towards them by all par ties after a little factious opposition at the outset, the course thus pursued by the members of the Pro tectionist Government is scarcely fair towards the nation, and is assuredly anything but calculated to extend their popularity. Granted that for a reason able intervsl it was ungenerous to demand at the hands of her MAJESTY'S Ministers an explanation of their intended policy, yet, surely, when three month s have passed by, when every facility has been afforded the Cabinet to carry out the requisite labours of ad ministration, when the House of C nnmous, with the consent of the Opposition, has loosened the purse strings of the nation with more than even its customary munificence, it is somewhat ungenerous in the leaders of the Cabinet to continue their silence thus obdurately, leaving the population in doubt as to the real character of their intentions and even as to the probable period to be fixed for the dissolution. Having at the moment of their elevation to power urged the necessity of fair play being shown to the New Ministry, in consideration of the really extraordinary difficulty of its position—we may now, in the fourth month of its existence, demand at the hands of the PRIME MINISTER some candid avowal of his intentions without being charged with either pertinacity or precipitation. The good of the country requires that the present situation of affairs should be brought as speedily as possible to a conclusion. Before the grain has well ripened the elections should have terminated, so that the new Par liament might be assembled for a brief supplementary session before the harvest has been reaped throughout the United Kingdom. Unless the Government itself spontaneously announces its intention very speedily, th e subject of the Ministerial policy and of the the Probable time either of the dissolution should be revived in House i o t f h eCr Commons on the cross somes bbenches c independe ntamong repre sentativetheOpposition. 4c We are t o l d by the OLONIAL SECRETARY that ----- ' 2 " --- - - o f to f the Emigration Commissioners is 0 C the atte n ti on at present directed the great importance of emi gration to Australia," and that " they have already relaxed the regulations i with l the view of facilitating em igration from th e h Scot land, and he believedg h they were qu it e ands and islands of Scot fd so as to facilitate willing to relax the regulations still further, t h e e migration of the hand-loom at home, until it has Scot land." This admission i ndicates the nature and ex tent of the loom weavers of Scot onouraebmleanßatoianrgd.frolmt services of not unti l the general complaintshe H the colony b iv beenre-echoed b een a scertained that t he manufacturers woollen England must participate in the serious,of ruinous, losses it A p ending over the flock owners of Australia, that " t he attention of the Commissioners" i 3 directed to the imp ortance of the subject. were We are not aware of any oth er ob j ect that s hould occupy their time than that for which they directly appointed. I,:rge sums of money have been trans mitted from Australia and placed at the disposal of the English people, not for the benefit of the people, but of those by whom the funds were supplied —urgent remonstrances have from time to time been N D 0 N, preferred, which have become far more pressing since the gold discoveries, and the enormous profits obtain able at "the diggings" have drawn so large a pro portion of labourers from their ordinary pursuits. But it is only at the eleventh hour that the Commis sioners are beginning to shake off their apathy and to discover that something more is expected at their hands than to obstruct and impede the emigration hey were appointed to promote—that they acknow ledge the necessity of relaxing the restrictive regula tions which they have laid down. We might feel surprised at the conduct and pro ceedings of the Commissioners, but, unfortunately, we fiad that a large proportion of officials seem to think their chief duty is to resist every appeal, and to find excuse, whether plausible or otherwise is of the most trivial consequence, for refusing every application. Ilad the tenth part of the funds entrusted to the hands of the Commissioners been at the disposal of a private society, where the managing committee felt that theirs was "a labour of love," we should have seLn very different results indeed. But we find that thousands and tens of thousands of pounds h..;ve been permitted to remain idle and unproductive, while the colony was languishing for a supply of that labour which has been a drug in the home market, which in England can scarcely procure the commonest necessaries of life, but in Australia would afford every reasonable comfort, and allow the parties to set aside a handsome surplus for old age or sickness. The change of circumstances in Australia since the discoveries of Mr. HARGREAVES render it essential that the most summary means should be resorted to of sending out the much-required supply of working men, that the 240,0001, now in hand, or a large pro portion thereof, should be rendered available with all convenient speed. New regulations, too, will be re quired. The applicants for public assistance should, before going out, enter into contracts to serve, at fair and reasonable wages, at the occupations for which they are best qualified and in which their services may be most urgently required. There can be no sufficient reason either why they should net be required to repay by easy instalments the entire expenses of their passages and outfits, and all the other expenses incurred in their behalf, and work under the directions of a local society until their entire liabilities had been liqui dated. There are few, if any, of those who, although highly eligible in many respects, have been arbi trarily rejected by the Commissioners, who would not willingly comply with such regulations, and un dertake the repayment of the entire outlay. We con fese, however, that from experience we do not place much reliance on the tardy exertions of she Commis sioners, unless some unusual stimulant be applied, and it be clearly shown that any further negligence or carelessness will be visited with the severe dis pleasure of bath branches of the Legislature. It is possible that additional powers may be re quired to enable the Commissioners to enforce the agreements that may be entered into by the intending emigrants. If this be so, and that its ne cessity be clearly and distinctly shown, we have no doubt but that,, notwithstanding the late period of the session, every reasonable demand will be com plied with; but the utmost promptitude must be exhibited. The Commissioners have slum bered long enough, and now that they have at length been awakened, they must di,play extra ordinary activity, as some slight compensation for past deficiency. Full publicity should be given to the regulations. Those who would be really useful emigrants should be clearly informed of the benefits tendered for their acceptance, and of the positions which they might easily obtain on their arrival. EaCh particular case should be dealt with on its own merits ; and where the parties are of good character, and eligible in other respects, the rules as to the number of children and other minor points, which appear as if they had been framed rather for the sake of showing that the Commissioners were ❑ot altogether idle, than from any beneficial results that could be anticipated, might readily be dis pensed with. If the Honourable Board would take a hint from Mrs. CHISHOLM —if they would for once set aside red-tapisrn, and avail themselves of the experience of that benevolent and kind-hearted lady—they would render the most important services as well to the mother country as to the colony, and well and efficiently fulfil the duties confided to their charge. THE FRENCH REPUBLICS We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Count MOLE has addressed a letter to ... the Consti tutionnel, denying that he ever attended a meeting at the Tuileries, at which it was proposed by General CHANGARNIER to arrest Louis NAPOLEON, and to send him to Vincennes, or that anything of the kind was ever contemplated. His indignation at being made to play the part of an informer and denouncer is strongly expressed. The letter, which we subjoin, administers an angry rebuke to his accuser, M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC : "TO THE EDITOR OF THE CONSTITUTIONNEL " Sir,—l have just read in your joe'nal an article in which my name is mixed up in the most disgraceful manner with facts which I declare to be completely fake. I was never present at the meeting at the Tuileries, of which that article speaks, ant I affirm that to my know ledge nothing of the kind took place. As to the part of denunciator which I am made to play on leaving that meeting, I shall only make one remark—it is an infamous calumny. I will moreover add that so much audacity in insult, and so much boldness in outrage, injures the cause which it is pretended to serve. France seldom forgets the services which are rendered to her; but if she could cease to remember them, insult and calumny would instantly revive the remembrance of them in her memory and in her heart. It certainly is not either of myself or of my own career that I speak thus. They are the re flections which have arisen in my mind from reading the article entitled M. Changarnier et M. De Lamoriciere.' I beg your insertion of thi3 letter, and have the honour to be, &c., (Signed) " MOLE, " Paris, May 18, 1852." The following communicated note appears in the Mon ite ur " S-3veral jTsrnals, in the hope of evading the penal ties decreed against the authors of false news, make use of terms such as on dit,' on annonce,' in order to spread reports which are without any foundation. Thetie exprei,dons being only a subterfuge in order to render illusory Article 15 of the organic decree on the press, cannot be allowed to screen the journals which make use of them from the penalties enacted by that decree." The Legislative Body sat on Tuesday at two o'clock. The Convict Itehabilitation Bill was ulti mately adopted by 112 votes to 11. The next subject of discussion was the Bill to call out 80,000 men of the class of 1852. M. DomtvAL ex pressed his suprise that some attempt was not made to reduce the expenses of the army. General ALLARD, member of the Council of State and C omm i ss i oner o f the Government to defend the Bill, replied that the question of a reduction in the army could only be dis cussed properly when the war budget was under con sideration. The Chamber then adopted the Bill by 226 votes, no vote being given against it. Nine Bills of local interest were then adopted without remark, after which the sitting was brought to a close at half-past four. No day was appointed for the next sitting; notice of the time will be given to the members at their residences. Before the public sitting the mem bers met in their bureaux to nominate a committee on the Bill which proposes to effect modifications in the articles of the Criminal Code, relating to crimes com mitted by French subjects in foreign countries. We read in the Patrie— "The American journals speak of disturbances at Ta hiti, and of the republic having been proclaimed there. This is completely false. The state of Tahiti is excellent, and the best understanding has never ceased to reign between the Government of Queen Pomarb and the French authorities." The secretary of the Archbishop of Paris has, by his desire, addressed the following letter to the Presse You have been incorrectly informed in announcing that the Archbishop of Paris had given his benediction on Saturday last in the Church of St. Eustache to busts of the Prince President of the Republic. The Archbishop had been earnestly entreated by the fortes of the Halle to be present at the mass which they caused to be celebrated on that day. Not being able to comply with their request, he promised them that, in going to administer the sacrament at a neigh bouring church, he would attend at the end of the mass, and give them his blessing. This is what the Arch bishop did after addressing to them some words of pater nal advice, but he never blessed any bust. It is not the custom of the Church to bless the busts of living per sons. It only blesses them after death, when they have been placed among the number of the saints." The Presse say there is not the slightest truth in the statement that M. Proudhon has arrived at Havre on his way to the United States. He has, adds the Presse, only a fortnight more to remain in prison to complete the three years to which he was sentenced, and he has no intention to quit Paris. We read in the Public—" At the late ball at the Ecole Militaire the Princess Mathilde was the he etchteoffoglelonwerianlgconadvevresnattuioren. Ins dhraesssb,ethene r t e in s e u o b f j freshness of which set off her exquisite beauty to T LtURSDAY advantage, the Princess was ascending the staircasei which led to the tribune of the President, when her progress was impeded by a chasseur de Vincennes. You cannot pass,' said the soldier, endeavouring to modulate his otherwise harsh voice. But,' re plied the Princess, it is probable that your orders do not apply to me; I am the cousin of Louis Napo leon.' Were you the cousin of the Bon Dieu,' re plied the inflexible sentinel, I would not allow you to pass.' The Princess was embarrassed, but per ceiving a captain who was one of the stewards of the ball, she spoke to him end the scruples of the sentinel were removed. The Princess afterwards good naturedly explained to the President what had oc curred, and congratulated him on the sentiments of fidelity with which the army was inspired." General Parchappe has presented to the Legislative Body a report, in the name of the Committee charged to examine the Bill authorising a levy in 1853 of 80,000 men, of the class of 1852. The report states that, in order to keep up the armed force of France at 600,000 men, it is necessary to call out 80,000, as has been done annually for 20 years past ; and, as an additional reason for the levy, it says :—" Fo reign countries do not reduce their armies. England feels great anxiety with respect to our progress, and the firm and becoming attitude of the country; her Cnambers have voted subsidies for the organization of a numerous militia, and the increase of the navy. In Au.tria, the Sovereign of that empire and the Em peror of Russia have passed in review the troops as sembled at Vienna." The marriage of M. de Persigny and Mdlle. de la Moskowa is to take place on Saturday, the 22d, in the chapel of the Senate. The Prince President and all his household will attend it. The Council of State has for some days past been engaged in the examination of a Bill on the customs' duties. Among the principal clauses there is one which removes the duty from raw materials used in shipbuilding, and another which does away with the prohibition on earthenware. The Marquis DE MORNAY, Count H. Da L'AIGLE, and M. VIET, ex-Mayor of Compeigne, members of the Council-General of the department of the Oise, have refused to take the oath prescribed by Article 14 of the Constitution.

Russia is understood to be favourable to the re construction of the Verein, and adverse to the for mation of a third " commercial " group of States. In the Augsburg Gazette we find the following : " In the early part of this month, M. de Meyendorff, Rukdan Ambassador at tho Court of Vienna, handed in to the Austrian Cabinet a note lo; hich the Czar de clared himself in favour of the preservation of the Zil verein, and consequently against the formation of a third group of German Customs, which would fur n i s h fresh facilities to radicalism and foreign influence. Th e Emperor of Russia does no' , any way pretend to meddle in the affairs of Germany, or to trace out the limits which Austria, should make in the interest of her ootiaracrcial policy, but he desires for the interest of Germany that the petty states should attach themselves to one of the great Powers of the Germanic Confedera tion. 4 therefore, they wish to detach themselves from the Zollverein, they should rally to the side of Austria." The following address has been issued by the German manufacturers who are favourable to the maintenance of the Zollverein "To the Trading and Commerciallnterests of the German Customs Union. " Since the year 1848 the commercial activity of Ger many has been oppressed by the nightmare of our po litical circumstances, which has paralysed the spirit of enterprise and fettered intercourse. More recently this difficulty has teen increased by the uncertainty as to the future extent of the commercial territory and the impending modifications of the existing tariff. And now we are tbyeatened with th e worst t h at can b e f a ll th e com mercial activity of Germany, and its interests gene rally—a breaking up of the Zoilverein itself. This, in a mater i a l point of view the most important and bene ficial creation of the century, the Trade and Customs Union which has existed for 18 years, a work which to pr-serve, strengthen, a n d extend, ought to b e t h e fi rst object of every .German Government, appears at the rese nt in the highest degree endangered: for, in fact, the Darmstadt resolutions, of the authenticity of which there can be no doubt, attack the very existence of the institution. No one can be for a moment uncertain on this point, that the North German Governments, united by the treaty of the 7th of September, cannot comply with such demands, whi c h wou ld re d uce t h em , more or less, to passive instruments. All that is most calami tous hre national and of d un - commercial appears by them to enter into the p u and the phantom of a division of o territ o ry i n to t wo ho s til e camps, sr possibility,em a n not long ago laughed at and despised, seems about to take shape and substance. Its realization would pro nounce the doom of German commercial enterprise. The trading interests of North and South Germany—of Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg—are all alike The c onsequence o f suc h a di v i s i on must bee ff explained to all of thew, and the steps necessary to prevent it must be considered. The undersigned, there tore, invite all connected with the mercantile and ma nufacturing interests of the Zollverein to assemble at a meeting at Halle, on the 27th of May ; they are con vinced, considering the urgency of the present state of afriirs, that every State of the Zollverein will take an active part in the proceedings." This is the first public appeal that has been made to the parties concerned. The Emperor of RUSSIA, on leaving Vienne, pro ceeded on the 12th to Prague to pay a visit to the ex-Emperor FERDINAND. His MAJESTY arrived at twelve o'clock, and found a large crowd near the railway station waiting to see him ; he proceeded at once to the château of Hradschin, where the ex- EMPEROR resides. After breakfasting he left for Dresden. Prince ALBERT of Saxony left Dresden to meet him. After attending the anniversary of the marriage of Prince CHARLES of Prussia, at Potsdam, the EMPEROR is to proceed to Warsaw to attend the military manoeuvres. In the month of July the CZAR is to return to Potsdam for the E M PRESS. The Earl of WESTMORELAND, the British Ambas sador at the Cou r t o f Vi enna , gav e a grand ball there on the 13th, at w hi c h th e E m p e ror of AUSTRIA and several memb ers o f hi s f am il y we r e present. A Vienna l e tt er o f t h e 14th states that during he had during the stay of the E mperor o f R USSIA in that city, several confer ences w i t h t h e Austrian Minister for Foreign Aff a i rs, at wh i c h C ou nt NESSELRODE was present. It i s state d i n the same letter that some angry notes have been exchanged between the Aus trian and Prussian Cabinets on the subject of the cus• toms' conf erences, b ut that a co mpromise is expected through the intervention of Count NESSELRODE, in the rn a name of th e E mperor o f R USS IA. The Austrian G ov ernment has, it is said, resolved on imp or t ant reductions i n t h e War department. A letter f rom M un i c h i n forms us that Prince ED.

It was thought that the Government would comply with the request. EGYPT- A remarkable phenomenon took place at Cairo on the Ist inst. regular contest between the Kham sin or wind of the desert and the North wind, the latter was at length the victor, after a hurricane of unheard of violence. Trees were torn up by the roots, and the magnificent garden of Choubra and others i n th e environs of t h e c i ty were ser i ous l y in jurtd. Never in the memory of man was thunder heard, or h a il seen at th i s season i n E gypt. Th e hur ricane was succeeded by a heavy rain, which lasted all the night of the Ist, and on the following day the Is.hamsin was more suffocating than ever. ----- DEATH OF THE HON. JOHN C.

Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was well supplied and closed tamely. The lower qualities of American were easier ; all other kinds firm except Maccios, which were id. dearer. The sales comprised 4,500 American, 600 Yernam and Maranham, at 6d. to 71d.; 100 Bahia, at 6411.; Egyptian, at sd. to 10fd.; and 600 Surat, at aid. to 441. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. I Id. per quarter, and the sales officially reported for the past week are 94,297 quarters. At a meeting held this morning of the proprietors of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, the usual half-yearly dividend of 4 per cent., being at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, was declared, and a satisfactory report was made of the progress of the bank, which has better pro spects before it in proportion as the state of the country improves. An account has been made up of moneys remaining to be raised on the Bth May, 1852, to complete the aid granted by Parliament for the service of the years 1850 and 1851. Consolidated Fund, 12,341,7261.; per Act 13 and 14 Vie. c. 107, 248,9741. 193. 6d.; Consolidated Fund, 11,706,8351. 17s. 3d.; per Act 14 and 15 Vie., c. 101, 2,313,7101. 2s. 81; making the total amount to be raised, 2,562,6851. 2s. 2d. There are no moneys in the Exchequer. The steamer of the Collins' line has been telegraphed, and brings the large amount of 400,000 dollars in specie. The Amsterdam Bourse, on the 18th inst., was firm for Dutch Stock, but there was no animation. Russian Bonds were in much request, at improved rates. Spanish and Portuguese were very firm. The Honourable East India Company, following the example of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, has given the requisite notice that when its bond debt becomes payable a year hence, the new issue will be made at 2k, instead of 3 per cent. In this way the abundance of money tells, and every step in the same direction must bring railway debentures, and all securities yielding a fair return upon the capital invested, more into favour. At the present moment, strange as it may appear, spe culation for a fall seems to be most in fashion, and not only is this the case with railways and gold mines, but also with the Funds. It is true that Consols are relatively high, but there is absolutely little resource but to buy them where a guaranteed 3 per cent, is wanted. As to railway property, it seldom was in a healthier position, and tho motives that encourage the Bears will not stand the test of examination. The Ex hibition last summer did much to increase traffic, un questionably, but the whole influence was expended in about six weeks ; and what with increased expenses and keen competition, the net profit was much smaller than that arising from ordinary excursion trains. This season the rolling stock provided last year will be available, the payment upon the company's bonds will be lowered, and it is probable that, if the dividends are smaller, they will be fully equal to expectation. Since every one has looked for diminished traffic, we can hardly suppose the weekly returns will influence real holders to sell; however, it may encourage speculators, and it will be useful to remind shareholders that if they remain firm, the mere time dealers must eventually be worsted. Upon gold and other mining companies, it is more difficult to give an opinion. The greatest possible difference exists in the constitution and prospects of these undertakings. Some, if not mere bubbles, are in the hands of weak and inexperienced parties, and are not getting a tith e of their subscriptions paid up. Others, on the contrary, are first-rate, and those especially which have already dispatched their agents and intend to act independently of leases and crude arrangements made here, and liable to alteration by local circumstances, will do well, if any company can. We say can, because s ome d ou b t whether individual mining will not prove too strong a competitor seeing the large average earni ngs . M ining, however,, is a mere lottery, and men may toil for a month and get not an ounce of the precious metal, while their neigh bours are making 101. to 201. per diem. Admitting, then, that the very uncertainty is attractive, we think the companies may easily get labourers on terms that will handsomely reward all concerned.
