Morning .. 13 min. after 1 I Evening .• 3i min. after 1 blighted prospects and damaged character, the case is altogether different, and we unhesitatingly assert that, under such circumstances, he is entitled ex debito justitice, to the fullest, and most unreserved statement of the true facts of his case, and a thorough investi gation as to the truth of the charges that have been preferred against him. In such a case the rules of official subordination and etiquette can no longer be violated. He has ceased to be the servant of the Government, but he still remains a member of the great body corporate, and as such is entitled to the undoubted privilege of every British subject, that he shall not be condemned unheard, and without the fullest opportunity being afforded to him of repelling the accusations that have been made, and of vindi cating his character, conduct, or acquirements, which , ever may be called in question. It is due to the com munity in general, that the grounds upon which any person who has once held an honourable and respon sible station, and who has been removed therefrom, should be clearly and explicitly revealed. If he be a bad man who has degraded his office, the sooner the public receive full information as to his delinquencies the better, and he has no just claim that his errors should be shrouded under the official shield, and he himself protected from the contempt and reprobation which he had richly deserved. But if, on the other hand, he has been the victim of a faction, or of the personal dislike or hatred of a superior officer, every manly feeling in the human breast, every principle of fair and impartial justice demands that he shall not be permitted to perish in silence, his wrongs being not only unredressed, but unheeded and un known. The subsequent full and unreserved expla nation also answers another good purpose. The knowledge that these explanations may be demanded, and, if so, that they will undoubtedly be granted, exercises a salutary influence, and imposes a whole some moral restraint upon those in power not to abuse the temporary authority with which they are invested for any private or personal motives, as they must be conscious that the secret springs of their actions may one day be brought to light. We have been led into the foregoing observations in consequence of a conversation which took place in the House of Commons, upon Ai onday evening, rela tive to the case of Mr. THOMAS O'BRIEN, late Colo nial Secretary for Sierra Leone. It appears from the statement of Mr. llswEs, in reply to a question asked by the Honourable Member for Youghal, that Mr. O'BRIEN had been removed from office in consequence, first, of his general unfitness, and, secondly, of his pecuniary embarrassments. Towards the close of his statement, however, another and a very different ground was put forward, namely, that it was neces sary to choose between Mr. O'BRIEN and the present Governor of the colony. As it was impossible both could be retained in the public service, one or the other should be removed, and therefore Lord GREY decided upon dismissing Mr. O'BRIEN. Now this appears altogether at variance with the former part of the explanation. It does not distinctly appear what were the real causes of the dismissal. This, however, is not the portion of the case with which we desire to deal. Mr. O'BRIEN may, for aught we know, have been deservedly suspended. But that is not the question. Upon public grounds, we protest against the distinct refusal to produce to the country the papers explanatory of the circumstances. This is the portion of the case in which every Englishman must feel interested. Even the humblest felon is entitled to a copy of the indictment preferred against him ; while a gentleman—from his recent official position alone, if he possessed no other claim to that character—is refused the production of the documents which must completely crush him, or which will vin dicate his character in the public estimation. Could a more effective mode be adopted of damaging the Governor, and serving the ex-Secretary ? Why should they not be produced? It appears rather a lame excuse to say, " that they abound in personali ties, and display a most acrimonious feeling." Let it be conceded that Mr. O'BRIEN has not displayed tact or discretion, points for which his countrymen have never been very remarkable. If that personality and acrimonious feeling be wholly unwarranted—if the charges against the Governor (charges which, if rumour be correct, are of a very serious character) be unfounded, upon whom will the missile recoil ? Manifestly upon him who now demands the produc tion of these documents. If it be intended by the refusal to shelter the Governor (we do not hereby de sire to be understood as offering an opinion on the case, for we know nothing of that gentleman or of the merits of the controversy), surely a more silly expedient was never adopted. The Hon. Member who moved for their production states that he has read them, and that so far as Mr. O'BRIEN is con cerned, he sees nothing objectionable therein. Should the refusal be persevered in, can it be doubted that when the motion is renewed on Monday, for which evening the Hon. Member has given notice of his in tention of bringing it forward—that he will quote everything serviceable to his client and injurious to his opponents? Mr. ANSTEY is by far too acute an advocate, and Mr. O'BRIEN, who we believe ventured to enter the lists with the departed Liberator, with whom he waged a wordy war for several years, is too practised a controversialist, and too hard a hitter, to permit the Governor to obtain a safe and efficient shelter under the official robes of the Colonial Secre tary. Let the acrimonious documents be permitted to lie upon the table of the House, and the public will then know upon what grounds Mr. O'BRIEN has been dismissed from the service of his QUEEN and his country. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 9th instant have arrived. The troops in garrison at La Granja, during the sojourn there of the Court, are under the command of ESPELETA. NARVAEZ was to leave Madrid for La Granja on the 10th. The inhabitants of Madrid are still kept in a state of profound ignorance of the state of things in Cata lonia and the Basque Provinces. They are told that there is not a single insurgent in Biscay, Alava, or Guipuzcoa, and that CABBERA is laid up with the gout at Toulon. It is with great delight that we have read a second proclamation, issued by CABRERA, which we give below : " True to my oaths, and in pursuance of the honour able mission with which the King our Lord (whom God preserve) has deigned to entrust me, I come to com mand, in the kingdoms of Aragon, Valencia, and Murcia. " Men of all parties will find in me but a friend who will protect their persons and their interests. Being the first in observing most exactly the sovereign anti beneficent instructions of the King, those shall be the only rule of my conduct. I will only be severe towards those who may interpret them falsely, or elude by ter giversation their fulfilment. "Let nobody prejudge my actions before knowing them, or doubt that they will be conformable to the just, conciliating, and admirable policy adopted by the fore sight of his Majesty. According to it all parties disap pear, and only Spaniards remain ; hatreds are put au end to, and a happy reconciliation, founded in complete forgetfulness of the disunions of past strife, promises us an era of peace and happiness, so much desired by deso late Spain. " Let no one abandon his home, or interrupt his ordi nary avocations. Everybody will be respected in his own abode ; all just claims or complaints will promptly be attended to, and justice done to them. " I make war upon the common enemy—the Govern ment of Madrid, and those who by orders of the same Government may come to oppose me ; but even these, from the moment they have surrendered or are con quered, become also my friends. "The officers of all ranks, and the sergeants, will be received in their grades and according to seniority. The soldiers will be incorporated in our ranks, if they wish it ; if not, they will be left at liberty to go wherever they please. " I shall make no reprisals, or imitate atrocious deeds such as disgrace the generals of the enemy—deeds which an experience of many years makes me condemn in my heart and conscience. " Spain, that ought to be independent, found herself exposed to be sold by miserable and disloyal men, whose rapines and mismanagement have sold her to a pusillanimous and covetous foreigner, who does not know even how to respect his own ln.nour. Spain ellims your supp or t to s h a k e off the ignominy which ruins her. " Let us be Spaniards, and nothing but Spaniards ; let u:.4 all march united to the restoration of the throne of St. Ferdinand, so miserably outraged and soiled; that we may attain the reestablishment of order and equity, under the aug us t di rect i on of the King our Lord, w nose enlightened experience and misfortunes offer a precious guarantee . of . the legality o f hi s acts, o f t h e eco nomy of his administration, and o f t h e foun d at i ons o f his government being in perfect agreement and harmony with our usages, manners, wants, and beliefs.

A very erroneous impression has been engendered by the development of free trade as a system. It is imagined by many that our mercantile interests are opposed to our agricultural interests, that the manu facturers of cotton and the manufacturers of corn are sworn and irreconcilable enemies, that the factory labourer of Manchester and the farm labourer of Lincolnshire are beings whose pursuits are incom patible the one with the other as the pursuits of fellow-countrymen and contemporaries. No one can have the fool-hardiness, however, to entertain such a preposterous notion any longer after the enthusiasm which on Thursday evening greeted the toast pro posed, at the great meeting of the Royal Agricul tural Society, by the Earl FORTESCUE—that toast being " AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURES, ♦ND COMMERCE." It was a most felicitous combination of words—words symbolical of the three enormous sections of this industrial community, upon the prosperity, enter prise, and harmonious alliance of which the glory, the nationality, and the constitution of Great Britain are immediately dependent. And it was a felicitous circumstance that this fraternal toast should have been proposed under the shadow of that glorious old minster which the American Ambassador (Mr. BANCROFT) eloquently apostrophised as " the most stupendous monument ever reared by the genius, the delicate taste, and the religious sentiment of our ancestors," that it should have been proposed at an epoch when, according to an allusion made by the same distinguished citizen, " the tree of peace is so firmly rooted into the soil of these islands that its boughs only rustle in the breeze of the stormiest revolutions," and that, above all, it should have been proposed in Yorkshire, that im mense county, which, in the words of the Earl Foa- TESCUE, " comprises within its bosom. the varied manufactures of the West Riding, the shipping and commerce of Hull, and the fair and fertile fields of Hulderness and Cleveland !" Under this auspicious and appropriate coincidence of time and ‘ locality the triune toast of " Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce," acquires a very peculiar and attractive significance. Within our recollection we cannot for a long time past call to mind a more interesting and, in a social point of view, a more important demon stration than that which the day before yes terday crowded the venerable precincts of the city of York with " a living and moving panorama of the industrious English of to-day." It was a spec tacle racy of this old historic England—this England which has ripened in its maturity under the warlike pomp of the Romans, and the maritime audacity of Scandinavia—which was not effeminated by the pre cocious civilisation introduced from Normandy, and which, amidst all the vicissitudes of conquest and rebellion, has preserved even to our own day the evidences of its Saxon origin in its robust and masculine nationality. It was well to be reminded of this at a crisis of such peculiar im minence ; and it was impossible that we could have been more forcibly reminded of it than by the assem blage of such an association as the Royal Agricultural Society. We will assert at once that, to our think ing, the interest and importance of the demonstration in question was very materially enhanced by the pre sence of the illustrious Consort of our SOVEREIGN, the young Prince whose amiable disposition, whose conspicuous intelligence, and whose largeness of heart have endeared him to every right- thinking patriot in the length and breadth of England. If we wanted any corroboration of the sincerity which appeared to characterise the noble speech in which a very few weeks back his Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT advocated the rights of the labourer—that speech which quickened the whole pulse of the popu lation by the eloquence of its earnest simplicity—we should find sufficient testimony of its truthfulness in the remarks uttered on Thursday evening by the same august personage. In the course of the address, in which his Royal Highness proposed as a toast, " Success to the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng land," the Prince Consort observed, that " agricul ture, which was once the main pursuit of this like every other nation, holds even now, notwithstanding time development of commerce and of manufactures, a fun damental position in the realm." That sentence contains a golden truth, a truth which we would see ap preciated among all classes of our enterprising population. We would see the minds of our farmers and of our manufacturers, of our artisans and of our field-labourers, of our corn-makers and of our cotton-makers disabused at once and for ever of that blundering idea that the establishment of free trade must necessarily lead to their estrangement. Away with the old bugbear which teaches that emancipa tion of commerce is the annihilation of agriculture ! which asserts that the diminution of the Customs' duties must inevitably lead to the insolvency of tenant-farmers ! which declares that the yeomen and the traders of Saxon England have not derived their existence from the loins of the same ancestors ! Now that the cause of so many heart-burnings has been long since settled, let all chafferings and hagglings, let all ill blood and rancour, let all jealousy and contention be forgotten, off hand, in a manly spirit, and, while the rest of Europe are convulsed with revolutions, let the people of England be one in heart and in hand, de voted, unanimous, resolute, and enthusiastic, in their determination to promote the national happiness. We really cannot discover any sufficient grounds for the mystery maintained in some of the public de partments, and more particularly in the Colonial Office, with respect to a certain class of documents, which may not perhaps be very important in them selves, but which acquire an extraordinary interest from the attempted concealment. Curiosity is one of the strongest passions of our infirm natures, and men who would not take the trouble of cutting the leaves of a blue book in which those documents had been inserted, will eagerly seek for information if there is any the slightest appearance of a desire to withhold it when there are reasonable grounds for its production. John Bull hates what are termed " State secrets." lie cannot understand the refined diplomacy of his continental neighbours, but desires a fair and candid exposition of naked facts, that he may himself be enabled to judge how far the public officials are justified in the line of policy they have adopted, the course they have pursued. Let there be but a single hint of suppression, of garbled reports, or of extreme secresy being attached to any public matter, and his attention is immediately arrested, his sympathies awakened, and he cannot be contented until an open and unreserved revelation is made of the subject matter in dispute. We do not mean to assert that the greatest possible reserve should not sometimes be maintained, in order to conduct the public business efficiently. There may be confidential communications which it would be extremely wrong to publish, unless, indeed, they have been so far acted upon that any individual has been thereby prejudiced without further proof or investigation. For instance, we believe that it is cus tomary for every governor of a colony to forward periodical reports respecting the character and official ability and conduct of every subordinate officer under his control and direction. It would clearly be most unreasonable to suppose that any such subordinate who might fancy himself to be aggrieved by a com munication of such a character should be entitled to demand a copy of that confidential dispatch so long as he may be retained in the service of the Crown. But I should he be dismissed from his situation in con sequence thereof, and cast upon the world, with .p V . "1N" IN" a, .I 1:r1.4 V l6, 18t it independence of his beloved country, to occupy himself without intermission in promoting your happiness. " Long live the King!' The orders given by the Count DE MONTEMOLIN are said to be imperative not to make reprisals, not to confiscate the property of anybody, no matter what may be his party, and not to oblige any Spanish sub ject to seek refuge in expatriation—and it is satis factory to find CABRERA declaring that, with regard to reprisals, and other atrocious deeds, an experience of many years. makes him condemn them in his heart and his conscience. Let us hope that the partisans of the Government of Madrid will imitate the example set by the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, and that URBIZ TONDO, the murderer of ALZAL, will be left alone in his infamy. A letter, dated Tolosa, 4th July, gives the following account of this atrocious act of treachery and murder : " General Alzaa was the first to cross the frontier on the night of the 29th to the 30th of June. Some nego tiations having been set on foot in Guipuzcoa with some important chiefs of the enemy's troops and with other persons, these parties asked for an interview with one of our Montemolinist chiefs. A colonel was sent to them, but they demanded a person of higher rank ; the General then resolved to go himself. He accordingly proceeded to Tolosa, whet e he saw the traitor Azcarraga, who sold him, and after a long conference with him, was retiring towards Navarre at two in the afternoon, when he was taken. The General was accompanied by some of his men, the whole divided in three groups. The troops which had been posted beforehand in the place where they knew the General was to pass had orders to allow the two first groups to proceed unmo lested, and only to attack the third group, with which the General was. Many other precise circumstances showed that all the dispositions had been directed by one whom the General had trusted. Being suddenly attached, the last group dispersed. The General, who was on foot, tried to escape with his men. Having something the matter with his feet, he could not run long; when a famous tennis-player from Oyarzun, named Arrondo, carried him on his back a long way. Being, however, more and more closely pursued, the General told this brave man, and another who was with him, to leave him and to save themselves, as it was better that only one should perish than three. This being done at last, Alzaa threw himself on the ground. The first who approached him was a civil guardian, a former Carlist, who knew him at once, anct exclaimed in great sorrow, • You here, my General!' Alzaa asked this man, and the others who soon arrived, if quarter would be given to him, and they all answered in the affirmative. They took him to Zaldivia, and lodged him in the house of a certain Ariizsbal, or Lardizabal, where he passed the night, always believing, as everybody else near him, that he was not to be shot. At three o'clock in the morning an aide-de-camp arrived, with the order for having him immediately shot. The officers of the three companies in the place, and the civil guards, endeavoured to oppose the execution, and told the aide-de-camp to entreat the colonel to come himself to the spot ; but, instead of coming, he sent six more companies, renew ing the order, and General Alzaa was shot at half-past eight of the same morning, Monday, July 3. This act of treachery and cruelty will not remain unrevenged by the worthy General's own countrymen. He has been regretted by all; the deputation themselves, even Yturbe, used their interest to save his life ; but Urbiztondo, the instrument of the ferocity of Narvaez, had given the order, and was inexorable. This Urbiztondo had been, from his infancy, one of the King's pages, had received numerous favours, had been made a general without ever exposing himself to danger of ball or bullet; and having been one of the principal abettors of the treason of Ma roto, makes himself now gladly the executioner of his former comrades and friends. " On the side of Navarre, the Carlists prosper accord ing to their wishes. Zubiti, with Colonel Soto, operates towards the Aldudes. Yzarbe has come down with above a thousand men towards Estella, having taken prisoners at Barranca between fifty and sixty men and ten horses. The two battalions which were at Elizondo have re turned to Pa - mpeluna; and near the frontier have only remained those detachments which were there before the insurrection, and which, little by little, will fall into the power of . the Royalists. Villalonga went out of Pump luna the day before yesterday, with a column, in the direction of Lumbler, Languesa, &c. Everywhere he was saluted by numbers of people, who from the heights to the right and left, shouted to him, and to his troops, ' Viva el Rey (Long live the King r—Montemolin); but he did not remain, and continued his march in haste, we do not know yet its precise motive. Colonel Zabaleta has marched in pursuit of him, to establish himself at Carrascal, with 600 men—to wait for him there at his return, and give him a warm reception. Navarre, in fine, is all up and stirring for the King, and has nobly responded to what was expected from her." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Up to the hour that the post left everything was tranquil in Paris, notwithstanding it was the anni versary of the taking of the Bastille, the day that the 25 centime dinner was to have taken place, and the day originally fixed on by the enemies of the Re public for the outbreak which took place in June, and which it was rumoured was to have been renewed yesterday. Thanks, however, to the firmness and sagacity of General CAVAIGNAC, the insurgents, if they ever entertained any serious intention of re newing their culpable attempts at producing anarchy fur the profit of the monarchical factions have be. come convinced of the hopelessness of their position, and have abstained from everything calculated to in terrupt the public tranquillity. Measures are also it seems to be adopted against those who, by the in culcation of false rumours of pretended conspiracies, keep up the agitation of the public mind. The Patrie contains the following official announcement : " A political . journal , L'A een i r N ational, published yesterday certaT circumstantial details relative to a pretended conspiracy whi c h i t was sa id was to break out some day this week. Those details are false from one end to the ether. Every statement in this strange recit a l is the work of a diseased imagination, which has mistak en . drea ms f or rea li t i es, unless it were that the author intended to write a novel with a view to terrify his reader!, and to create uneasiness amongst the public. At a period wh en f a l se statements are so dan gerous, when all honourable journals are anxiously con tradicting them, and reassuring their readers, we cannot too deeply deplore that certain journals should give a place in their columns for such fables. The article in the Avenir National has been laid before the law officers Oil;;:oovernmellt; and if we rightl;ini,;;.ea, - ;; Minister of the Interior has given the most positive orders to prosecute the propagators of alarming reports." The J(oniteur alludes to the alarming reports abroad, and says that they are spread by designing persons. It adds, that all good citizens may be satisfied that no disturbance will take place, and that the Government knows its duty, and is prepared to fulfil it conscientiously. It would appear that in consequence of the rumours of an intended outbreak on the 14th July, M. Emizac DE GIEARDIN has thought it prudent to postpone the publication of the history of his imprisonment until after that day. lle has addressed on this sub ject the following letter to his family : " The pamphlet you announce as being about to be published by me, is in no degree a justificative pam phlet, and fur this sovereign reason, that I have done nothing for which I have to justify myself. I have not been accused of anything ; for what then did I need any justification ? In 1843, M. Armand Marrast pub lished, on coming out of prison, a pamphlet entitled, Vingt Jours au Secret.' I have done as M. Marrast did (what path more sure could I follow ?), not having, when in prison, any better employment for my time, I have written the history of my captivity, under the title of 'Journal d'un Journaliste au Secret.' This pam phlet is printed, and would have already been published, had I not been told that it was feared that Friday, July 14th, the anniversary of the Taking of the Bastille, would not pass over without new disturbances. Were these fears well founded? I know not; and a month ago they had nut arrested me, but they did my pen the dangerous honour of attributing to it such great im portance, that I thought myself bound to defer the publication of my humble narrative until the day came when the political horizon might admit of a hope that the morrow might pass without a storm. By acting thus I have rem a i ne d faithful to my antecedents. A single word from General Cavaignac, on June 24th, would have sufficed to have induced the Pr esse to shut itself up in silence as long as the new Executive Power might judge necessary. My patriotism has never been ap pealed to in vain. Who knows this better than you? Fraternity! • "July 12." 4, E. DE GIRARDIN." This is a cunning trick of the cunning Or leanist chief, and is worthy of himself and his party. All the harm that could have been done by the publication of his pamphlet has been done by the publication of this letter, which at the same time gives him the prestige of a " persecuted innocent," and is an admirable puff preliminary to his forthcoming work. Whatever EMILB DE GI RARDIN may be as a patriot, there is no denying him the credit of being one of the shrewdest of tradesmen. The funeral of General DUVIYIER took place on Thursday. The service was celebrated at the Church of Val de Grace, and the body was then taken to the Invalides for interment, where it was received by Marshal MouToa, the Governor, and the officers of the establishment. The funeral was at tended by General CAVAIGNAC, Generals LAMORI CIERE and CHANGARNIER, M. ARMAND MARRAST, Mayor of Paris, and a deputation of fifty Members of the National Assembly. The insurgents, who have hitherto been confined in the prisons of Paris, were removed on Thursday night to the detached forts. Four camps, of 15,000 men each, are to be orga ganized at the four cardinal points of Paris : they are to be under the command of General OUDINOT. The Revue de l'Ques publishes the following as 1 the programme of the proceedings at Communist meetings for the admission of a new candidate, and of the oath taken by him on becoming a member of the society In the name of the Sovereign people and of the Executive Council, the sitting is opened. To the Candidate present ,, cl.---Citizen, before pro ceeding further, you swear not to reveal what takes place here ? " Answer.-1 swear it. "To the Candidate.—Listen with confidence and without fear; you are amongst Republican Communists, and, consequently, you will begin to live under the era of equality. They will be your brethren if you are faithtul to your oath, but you will be for ever lost it you betray them—they have sworn to it as you have just done. Listen, therefore, with the greatest attention. Communism is the true republic—labour in common —education, property, and enjoyment in common. It is the sun, the symbol of equality—it is the new faith for which we have sworn to die ; we know neither barriers, nor frontiers, nor country; all Communists are brethren—all aristocrats are our enemies. We wish for a dictatorship after the revolution to apply our princi ple s and destroy all aristocrats and consequently to up root and overthrow all that is impure. The community net established, functions and intelligences being differ en t, everything will repose on the universal sense, classed with order. Your brethren and the committee will in struct you in all the details. Now, if you fear any fear of the dungeons, torture, or death—if you feel your cou rage fail you, retire! In order to join our ranks you must brave all those sufferings. Once the oath is taken you belong to us; you are engaged on your own life and that of the person who has brought you hither for the rest of your days. Reflect, therefore, and answer. " What is the name of the citizen who has brought you among us? " Then, - addressing himself to the person who has presented the candidiate, the questioner says,—You know, citizen, that you answer with your head for the person you have brought hither, and you aro fully aware of all the consequences? " What is your age, your profession, and your resi• dence? Have you never formed part of any secret so ciety? Rise—you are about to take an oath to obey the laws of the association. Swear to march at the first order of your chiefs, and to combat until death; swear to devote your fortune and your life to the estaklish ment of the Republic, founded on the principles of com munism. If you act with treachery your blood be on your own head, and not on those who may shed it. Be just, be virtuous, for that is the duty of a Republican. " Are you now disposed to unite yourself to us, and to brave all the perils of such a dangerous mission?— Yes. " We accept you—we are ull to you if you never be come perjured, but if you deceive us you are lost. Will you, therefore, give yourself up to us for ever?—Yes, without reserve." The Union says—" It was stated a few days ago that the directors of the Lyons Railroad had entered into negotiations with the Government, either for a monthly subvention, to enable them to continue the road, or for a purchase, on the best terms that could be obtained. We now understand, but cannot give the news as official, that this has been concluded on the following terms :—The Government consents to enter into possession of the line, giving a rente of 10f. Per annum in the Five per Cents. for every 250 f. that have been paid up by the shareholders." The following note has been sent to the journals from the Government:— " Several journals had announced that, in almost the whole of the Banlieue of Paris, the employes of the indi rect taxes had met, relative to the application of the de cree of the National Assembly of June 22, with such an opposition that, in order to avoid imminent collisions, they had considered it necessary to give up the accom plishment of their mission. Almost everywhere, on the contrary, the employes have met with but little resistance, they were not even obliged to have recourse to the in tervention of the local magistrates, and except in the commune of Grenelle, where, in fact, some marchands de-vin, at the instigation of four of their confreres, re fused to submit, the decree of June 22 has been in every other point carried into execution. Measures have been taken to have the decree applied in that commune, as in all the others of the department of the Seine." The club of Republican members de la vielle, which meet in the Palais Royal, have split among them selves. The club when first formed was intended to support General CAVAIGNAC'S Government, but since the party of M. TRIERS has obtained so much in fluence with the men now in office, many of the members of the club have refused to support the Go vernment measures. In consequence of this, an important fraction of the club has seceded, and a►nong those who have left are M. MARIE, M. PAG.. NERRE, M. MARRAST, and some other supporters of the Provisional Government. Tnese gentlemen have now established themselves at the Institute, and have taken the name of the Club of Conciliators. The intention of the members is to come to an ami cable understanding with the club of the Rue de Poictiers (TmEns' party), in order to influence the decisions of the Government, to support it in the adoption of sage and energetic measures, and to resist the ultra-revolutionists. In the Committee on the Laws of the Press, M. BERRYER proposed that the writers should sign their respective articles, and that the printers should also be held responsible. The Committee on Labour adopted on Thursday the proposition of M. ASTOIN, DE LA BOULIE, and OLIVIER, tending to guarantee to workmen, in case of the Cailure of their employers, the money due to them for work. The proposition declares that they are to take precedence of all other claims to the extent of three months' wages, and that the payment is to be ordered durgence, even without the formali ties prescribed by the commercial code. The National Assembly met yesterday at half past two. M. Babaud Laribiere presented a report from the Committee of the Interior, on a proposition brought forward by M. St. Picert, recommending that a statue be erected to the memory of the late lamented Arch bishop of Paris. The Committee coincided in the views of the Hon. Representative, and proposed to the As sembly a Bill to the following effect.—That a statue of white marble should be erected to the deceased in the Pantheon, on the pedestal of which should be inscribed the last words he uttered, " May my blood be the last shed in this matter;" that, in addition, a slab of black marble should be placed where he was struck in the Faubourg St. Antoine, to mark the spot; and, lastly, that the expenses be attributed to the budget of 1849. M. Montreuil presented a proposition tending to en courage the employment of 2,000 workmen in works of colonization in Algeria. He hoped that the Government would see the propriety of encouraging such a plan. M. Touret, Minister of Agriculture, replied that the Government was most anxious to forward whatever plans could give relief to the labouring classes. Since his accession to power, he had devoted the utmost at tention to everything in his department which bore on the condition of the labouring classes. He should con. sequently pay every attention to the plan of the honour able representative. He took that opportunity of stating that the next day or the day after he should present to the Assembly a Bill to insure to the children of the poorer classes, particularly in the agricultural districts, it special education to prepare them for some particular station in life.—(Hear.) The order of the day was the discussion of the Bill to encourage associations of workmen to tender for and execute public works. Some discussion took place on the probability of workmen being able to give proper guarantees as to their power to fulfil any engagements that they might enter into. Eventually, on Art. 1, authorising such associations to be formed, M. Renard proposed as an amendment that " the Mi nister of Public Works should be authorised to grant to associations of workmen such public works as there might be to be executed, either by concession or by te ad- • i lication, as he might deem most sui t a b l e ; also, that he might have the power to determine on what condi tions and zuarantees such works should be entrusted to the said associations." This amendment was adopted, thus rendering the Minister of Public Works judge of the cases in which the said works were or were not to be adjudicated or conceded. M. Flocon was bringing forward a sub-amendment to the amendment just adopted, when post hour arrived. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 14.

We find the following in a letter from Berne, dated ,he 10th instant : "The Diet has to-day been occupied with a question which, after the affair of the revision of the federal com pact, is perhaps the most serious of all th a t h as come be fore it this session,intimately connected with European rights and international laws. It is to pronounce the federal guarantee of the constitution, which has defini tively transformed Neufchatel into a republic, forming the 21st canton of the Confederation. " After a dignified and mature discussion, inwhich se veral deputations pointed out from official documents that the sovereign state of Neufchatel had a right to con stitute herself egreeable to her own ideas, in her relatioqs with Switzerland, the guarantee was pronounced by all the states. No one, in fact, voted against it, since the Deputy for Schwytz himself, after declaring that he joined in the satis!action felt in the political changes which had made Neufchatel a canton exclusively Swiss, confined himself to keeping the protocol open until he had rt ceived instructions on the subject. What more particularly characterised the affair was, that all the Deputies expressed their satisfaction at an event which removed Nt.ufchatel from Prussian domination." The Duke and Duchess of Nemours, accompanied by their interesting family, visited the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens yesterday, afterwards returning by railway to Claremont. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—We are well supplied with wheat, and having a continuance of very fine weather, the trade rules dull, with only a limited sale at a decline of is. per quarter. Not much passing in oats and shelling, and prices receding. Beaus remain as last stated, GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. - - - AUSTRIA. Accounts from Vienna cf . the Bth state, that on that day Baron PILLERSDORFF and the whole of his Ministry resigned, in consequence of the differences which have arisen between the Cabinet and the Committee of Public Safety. The following account of these transactions appears in the Wiener Zeihing, of the 9th instant : "The Minister of the Interior, ad interim, who at the same time provisionally filled the post of President of the Cabinet, has this day resigned those offices into the hands of the Archduke, as Regent of the empire. " Hereupon the Rtgent wrote the following autograph letter to the Ministers : "‘ Dear Baron Von Pillersdorff,—As you have re quested to be relieved frOm the commission imposed upon you to form a new Ministry, and desire my sanction, I hereby accede to your request, and delegate this office to my Minister of Agriculture, Trade, and Com merce, Baron Von Doblholf: " 'bear Baron Doblhoff—Baron Von Pillersdorff hav ing declined the mission to form a new Ministry, I am induced, in full confidence of your patriotism, to com mission you to lay before me, with as little delay as possible, your proposals for' the formation of a new Cabinet, and, in the meantime, to discharge the office of Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and of the Imperial household.' " " Baron Von Wessenberg, who was delegated according to constitutional forms to attend his Imperial Highness the Archduke John to Frankfort, in order, as respon sible Miaister, to maintain the correspondence between the Regent and the Cabinet Council, has adopted mea sures that, during the short interval of his absence, all important reports and communications shall be sent after him ; in case they require any immediate attention the decision of the Cabinet Council shall be obtained ; but in the current chancery affairs the business shall be trans acted by the head of the department of the Interior un der ordinary circumstances." FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. ARRIVAL OF THE ARCHDUKE JOHN. On Tuesday, the 11th, the German Parliament met and the President stated that the report of the festivity committee recommended that, on the arrival of the Administrator, he should be waited on by the Committee, who should, in the name of the Assembly, welcome him to Frank fort, and then, on ascertaining when it would be convenient for him to appear amongst them, a deputation of fifty Members should be chosen to conduct him to St. Paul's Church. A Member of the extreme left now ascended the tribune and stated that, as assertors of the sovereignty of the people, it was beneath the dignity of the As sembly to wait on the Administrator—he should wait on them. On this, old Professor ABNDT, of Bonn, in a speech replete with good feeling, replied, and ex pressed the opinion of almost the whole house when he asserted that the Administrator having been chosen by them, the representatives of the people, so much the more were they bound to honour him and uphold his authority. On the question being put from the chair, the measures recommended by the committee were car ried by an overwhelming majority; leaving only a miserable minority of about 20 dissentients. The Deputation of Fifty was then chosen, and the House adjourned. During the whole day the principal line of street was thronged by people in anxious expectation of the ARCHDUKE'S arrival. The black, red, and gold flag was waving from most of the houses ; this, indeed, with here and there a few wreaths of oak, &c., about the windows, was all the festive decoration that the short notice of the Administrator's coming ad mitted of. At half-past six in the evening Archduke JOHN, Administrator of Germany, arrived amid the roar of cannon, ringing of bells, and the acclamations of an immense multitude. The Administrator was dressed in the grey uniform of an Austrian general. Herr VON ANDRTAN, one of the deputation sent to Vienna, sat beside him. He came in a light caleche and six. He bowed frequently, and stopped now and then in acknowledgment of the joyful acclamations of the multitude. He was escorted by the burgher cavalry, and received with all the usual military honours. The ARCHDUKE alighted at the Hotel de Russie. PRUSSIA. The Berlin Anzeiger publishes a note from the Sar dinian Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated June 26th, in reply to the remonstrances of the Prussian and Ba varian Envoys on the blockade of Trieste. According to this document, the Admiral in command of the Sardinian squadron had received orders not to molest merchant vessels, but to confine himself to prevent the smuggling of arms and ammunition. This confirms the report of the raising of the blockade of Trieste, as far as merchantmen are concerned. HUNGARY. OPENING OF THE HUNGARIAN DIET. The solemn opening of the Hungarian National Diet took place, on the 9th of July, at Pesth. His Imperial Highness the Archduke STEPHEN, after laying before the Assembly the forms which constituted him the royal plenipotentiary and repre sentative, spoke as follows : " His Majesty our King wai pleased to convoke the Diet of his faithful Hungarian subjects on the second of this month. It was the gracious and paternal intention of his Majesty to open and conduct the Diet in person ; but to the sincere grief of his faithful people, severe illness prevents the carrying out of this intention, and, by Royal command, I am commissioned to open this Diet in the name and in the person of the King. I therefore lay before you this Royal commission, and at the same time another Royal ordinance, in which his Majesty informs the estates of the empire, that so long as his illness continues, and he is thereby prevented from appearing among his faithful Hungarian subjects, he has been gracious pleased to appoint me the repre sentative of his sacred person for Hungary, and the countries included in the military frontier." After the Minister SiRMERE had read the rescript the ARCHDUKE delivered the following speech from the throne : "In the name, and as the representative of our glorious reigning Sovereign, Ferdinand V., I hereby declare the present Diet to be opened. " The extraordinary state of the 'country rendered it necessary to convoke this Diet without dela - y, and vvith oat waiting for the working out and completion of all those proposals and arrangements which the responsible Ministry of his Majesty had, by the command of the late Diet, been commissioned to prepare and complete. "in Croatia there is open insurrection : in the lower provinces of the Danube insurgents have broken the peace of the country, and while it is his Majesty's earnest desire to avert a civil war, he is, at the same time, convinced that the united representatives of the nation will consider it their primary and important object to adopt such measures as may be requisite for the re-establishment of peace, for securing the integrity of the Hungarian Crown, and p reserv i ng the sacred in violability o the laws. The defence of the country and the finances, therefore, are the chief object to which, under the present extraordinary circumstances, in the name of his Majesty especially,] I call the attention of the representatives. " The responsible Minister of his Majesty will lay be fore you suitable proposals on these subjects. He con fidently expects that the representatives of the nation will adopt speedy and suitable measures for the security and weal of the country, " With feelings of pain and great displeasure his Majesty has been informed that although he, who has the welfare of all his su bj ec t s a t h eart, was following the dictates of his own free will when in the late Diet he sanctioned, on the petition of his faithful subjects, and granted those laws which are call for by the requirements of the times for increasing the welfare of the country ; yet, notwithstanding this, in Croatia and the Lower Danube provinces, evil minded rebels, by false reports, excited against one an other the various inhabitants of the country who dif fered from them, and said that the said laws were not the free result of his Majesty's royal will, and thereby in cited them to withstand the power of the law. " To calm all the inhabitants of this country, of what ever religion, I hereby declare, as being specially charged to do so by our illustrious lord and master in his name, and as the representative of his person, that his Majesty is firmly resolved to protect the unity and inviolability of the Hungarian Crown against any aggression from without or within, and at all times to maintain inviolable the laws sanctioned by him. • "The union of Transylvania with Hungary has been sanctioned by his Majesty with the most heartfelt plea sure, the more so because he has thereby acceded to the wish of his beloved Hungarian and Transylvanian sub jects. It is only by the amalgamation of the two coun tries into one body that they will, by the combined de velopment of their vigour and prosperity, be a firmer 'bulwark for the throne and liberty. " His Majesty's Ministers will submit to the Diet everything that remains to be done in regard to the de. tails of the already effected amalgamation of the adminis trative body. " With regard to foreign relations in the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom, where the hostile troops of the King of Sardinia, and some Italian powers, have attacked the army of his Majesty, the war is not yet terminated. With regard to other foreign powers, our friendly relations remain inviolate; and his Majesty less ques tions the continuance of this since it has ever been the chief care of his Government not to neglect anything which, without infringing upon the dignity of the royal throne, the security of his people, and their legitimate interests, might consolidate this amicable un destanding. " His Majesty entertains no doubt that the National Diet, in the indissolubly-combined interests of the royal throne and constitutional liberty, will, without delay, re gulate everything which is requisite for the welfare of the country. In conclusion, I must now fulfil the injunction of his Majesty, by assuring the Diet, and the whole of his faithful subjects, of the royal favour and affectionate SATURDA.Y sentiments of our illustrious Lord and King."— Wiener Zeitung, July 9. RUSSIA. he cholera appears to rage with great intensity at Moscow. From the 12th to the 19th of June there were 1,724 new cases and 728 deaths. On the last named day no less than 327 persons were seized with the dreadful malady, and 153 others died. Thd cholera is gaining ground at Kasan, Nigi, NOO - Kostoma, Jarosla, Wologda, Smolensk°, Toula, and Kalma. It has also made its appearance at Pensa, Twer, Tarkow, Olonetz, Witbka, And Orsa. The Aix•la-Chapelle Gazette contains news from St. Petershurgh, received by way of Berlin. The capital of the Russian empire had been the scene of a certain agitation produced by the ravages of the cholera. The patients conveyed to the hospitals died so soon that the people imagined the fountains had been poisoned. Crowds assembled in the streets in a menacing manner, and seemed disposed to attack the cholera hospitals. The troops were called out, and cannon pointed in the streets and squares. The EMPEROR was be having admirably amidst the general desolation- He daily visited the hospitals wherever the d an ger was greatest. A cigar manufacturer having been so ill-treated by the people, who accused him of being a poisoner, that he died in consequence, the Elt7 PEROR caused three of the ruffians to be knouted oQ the market-place, where the crime had been cow mitted, and sentenced to serve in the army for life. The EMPEROR addressed the people, and threatened the severest penalties to those who should be guilty of similar acts. These events, greatly exaggerated, had given rise to the absurd reports, lately circulated, respecting $ ll insurrection in St. Petersburgh. ITALY. L OMB ARD Y. Marshal RADETZKY has published the following bulletin : " Head-quarters, Verona, July 5. " The position of our army continues the same, and just now there is no change in the movements of the enemy opposite to me. " The King stands with about 30,000 men of his army betwe€n Villa Franca and Roverbilla, where he still has his head quarters, and appears, by fortifications and bar' ricades, to be securing that place against attack. "Yesterday afternoon, after two days efforts, and cut ting a passage through the rock, the half of an eighteen' pounder battery was drawn by oxen to the highest point of Monte•Rastello, which commands the Chiusa and the plateau of Rivoli. This battery immediately silenced two of the enemy's guns, which, from the lower stun' mits of the rocks above Chiusa, on that side of the river, had played upon our pickets on this side, killing one man, and severely wounding an artilleryman of the rocket battery. _ (signed) "RADETZKY, F. M." RADETZKY, it is said, expects to receive large re inforcements from Vienna, and on their arrival he will immediately undertake offensive operations. The Piedmontese hold Rivoli and other strong positions on th e r i g h t b ank of the Mige, which . command the road from Tyrol to Verona, hut have been driven from Dolce and Ceraino on the left bank. The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 10th, states that the Archbishop of Milan has offered the Govern' ment a part of the silver utensils belonging to the churches as a loan to be employed in the support of the poor, the wounded, and other beneficent acts. He has addressed a circular for this purpose to the curate' of his diocese. The Provisional Government of Loin' hardy have addressed their thanks to the Archbishop , for his patriotic offer. Advices from Venice pats that that city is well provided, that the sea is open, and that she has seventy armed vessels and one thou sand cannon at her disposal. Pere has all his troops under arms, and ready to march at the first signal from the Piedmontese. A great battle is in preps ration to retrieve the time that has been lost. A rumour was also current of proposals of peace from Austria, who would consent to give up Venice, Lom bardy, and the Italian Tyrol, on the condition of im posing 400,000,000 of her debt upon Italy. CHARLES-ALBERT has taken Schio, and the Duke of GENOA is said to have entered Roveredo. Advices from Modena announce that a part of the Piedmontese army has crossed the Po to enter the Venetian territory by Ferrara ; 5,000 Piedmontese, with a fine park of artillery, had arrived at Cremona on the 29th ult., and Lombard troops were continually arriving. General GARP BALDI arrived at Piacenza on the Bd, whence he left for the Italian camp. General Zuccui arrived at Bologna on the 6th. The preparations for the attack upon Verona continue. The Austrians made a sally' on the night of the sth towards Villafranca, to de stroy the enemy's works, but were repulsed. It was stated at Roverbella on the 4th of July, that a serious battle had taken place at Bardolino, but the result had not been ascertained. AARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN.

People often wondered what motive had induced the collection of such a large cairn in such a place, but none had the curiosity to explore it. until the other day the farmer had it pene trated for the purpose of obtaining stones to fill up some of his farm drains. All at once the sacred nature of the mound became manifest; and it appears to have been the burial-place of chieftains or persons of distinction. IS contains stone coffins constructed w i t h great care , a nd placed at equal distances from each other, in which the skeletons are quite visible, although much decayed. IC is singular that there is no tradition which alludes to this place of sepulture. The Bags of which the coffins are ,made must have been conveyed by sea.—lnveraiss Couriff• - Ito Th and i Wis. daina basin' Th Bank press( e c year 1 meat 1 ci: tionar Later the G •Ter t The upon t genera state o: should We 1 Paris ..
