" l U LONDON, MONDAY EVENING 8 1 7 NI F.EBRUARY 7, 1848. - [PR IcE SD. .ev - Jnterior i Don Antonio Statella, Prince de Cassaro, Minister of _State and President of the Consults ; anclDon- Pietro d'Urso, King's Procurator to the - Court of Accounts. Prince de Torella, who is father of one of the young men who were lately arrested for political motives, is highly esteemed, as is also Prince Dentice ; M. Bonanni is a distinguished magistrate; , M. Scovazxo, a Sicilian, is a very able man, but pos sesses only indifferent health. It was said that M. Cianciulli, who is an able administrator, has thought right not to accept the portfolio offered to him. All these Ministers, who are of moderate progressist opinions, agreed, it is said, in declaring to King Ferdinand that under present circumstances it was necessary to proclaim a constitution immediately. This the King did by a decree published on the 29th ult. The decree, of which we give a translation, contains the bases of a projected constitution, which within ten days a ft er i s to b e su b m i tted to the royal approbation. It will be observed that the new con stitution accords two Chambers, the inviolability of the King, the responsibility of Ministers, the liberty of the press, and a national guard. But it does not allow liberty of conscience and worship in religious matters. The following is the decree : " Naples 29th January. " Ferdinand 11., King of th e Two Sicilies and of Jerusalem, Duke of Parma and of Placentia, Grand Hereditary Prince of Tuscany, &c. &c., " Having heard the general wish of our well beloved subjects to have guarantees and institutions in conformity with the present civilisation, we declare that our will is to condescend to the desires which have been manifested to us by giving a constitution, and for that purpose we have charged our new Mi nister of State to present to our approbation, in a period which must not exceed ten days, a project on the following bases : " The legislative power shall be exercised by us and by two Chambers, namely a Chamber of Peers and a Chamber of Deputies. The members of the first Chamber shall be nominated by us; the Deputies shall be nominated by electors on the basis of a pro perty qualification which shall be fixed. " The only dominating religion of the state shall be the Roman Catholic and Apostolic religion, and no other form of worship shall be tolerated. " The person of the King shall always be sacred, inviolable, and subject to responsibity. " The idinisters shall always be responsible for all the acts of the Government " The land and sea services shall always be depen dent on the King. " The national guard shall be organised in all the kingdom, on a uniform mode, similar to that of the capital. " The press shall be free, and only subject to a re pressive law for all that may offend religion, morality, public order, the King, the Royal Family, foreign sovereigns and their families, as well as the honour and interests of private individuals. " In here notifying to the public our sovereign and free resolution, we confide in the loyalty and good sense of our people for the maintenance of the order and respect due to the laws and constituted autho rities.

RECEIVERSHIP OF TUN ESTATES OF LORD GLEN GALL.— In Master Murphy's office, Court of Chancery, yesterday, in the case of Norris v. Glengall, an ap plication was made by the plaintiff for the appoint ment of a receiver. On the part of Mr. Norris, two names were suggested, Mr. J. Sausse and Mr. Mau rice Colic.. On behalf of Lord Glengall, Mr. R. Pennefather, late Under Secretary, and brother-in law of his Lordship, was propOsed. After much dis cussion, Master Murphy appointed Nlr. Pennefather as receiver, directing that his recognialnces should be completed within six weeks ; if not, Mr. Cones to be appointed. INQUEST ON THE LATE Ma. WALDRON.—On TUNS* day and 'Wednesday the investigation before the coroner into the circumstances connected with the death of the late Mr. Waldron, at Ashfort, in the county Roscommon, was held. After the examination of several witnesses, the jury returned the following verdict :—" We find that Hubert Kelly Waldron, Esq., came by his death from a pistol shot fired by George Church, aided and assisted by Mr. Thomas Peyton, coroner, Thomas Church, a man named Thady Crawley, and others, whose names we do not at present know. From the legal difficulties con nected with the transaction, we leave it to another tribunal to decide how far the accused parties were justified in so doing. We fully acquit the police of any participation in this affair. ' Upon the verdict being found, the coroner at once issued a warrant against the principal, George Church, and it is ex pected he will issue warrants to-morrow against Mr. Peyton and the others. DUILIN CORN EXCHANGE, Fez. 4.—Although the canals are not free, the supply to our Corn Market to-day was larger than on Tuesday. Wheat and Barley met a better demand at the currency of Tues day. Oats were 3d. to 6d. cheaper. Indian Corn was held more firmly, but without alteration in value.

Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., has left Dublin for Paris. NAPLES AND PALERMO. Our last accounts from Palermo were up to the 21st ult., and from Naples up to the 24th. We hare now received letters and journals from Palermo to the 24th, and frown Naples to the 29th ult. The fol lowing is a summary of this later intelligence : After the first moment of tumult, the different committees formed at Palermo by the insurgents, as we have already described, felt the neccessity of strengthening themselves by centralising their action. This junta of the govt rnment formed itself into two instead of four sections, one of defence, the other of administration. In order to regularise and extend its relations with the people, which till then bad only taken place by means of printed placards, it caused a journal called Th e Citi zen (It Cittadino) to be este. blished, and the first number appeared on the 22d January. The object of this journal, according to an inscription placed at the head of each number, is to " mention the most important facts connected with Sicilian regeneration, to make known the determina tion of the representatives of the people, and to treat on all political questions as to the system adapted to Sielly." Perceiving the impossibility of reducing the city with the tr oo p s at their disposal, the authorities again endeav oure d to enter into negotiatio n w ith th e insurgents. F or thi s purpose General de Sauget, commandant of th e t roops from Naples, sent a Sicilian captain to the junta on the 22d, with the following propositions :—lst. To conclude a suspen sion of hostilities ; 2d. For the Junta to forward pro visions to the criminal prisoners confined under the care of the royal troops; 3d. To send an envoy of the Junta to Naples, to expose the demands of the people to the King iCh. An offer of a decree of general amnesty. With the exception of the second, all these propositions were rejected with disdain; and the de cree of amnesty, communicated by the Junta to the people, was publicly burned. Numbers of placards were published from time to time in order to excite the enthusiasm of the people and strengthen its resolution. One of those which excited the greatest interest, and produced the great est effect set forth a speech delivered in ISO by . King Ferdinand I. before the Sicilian Parliament. In this speech, the King stated that the necessity of provid ing for the defence of the kingdom, under the cir cumstances in which Europe was then placed, obliged him to call on the Parliament for prompt and extra ordinary means of supplying deficiencies of the Treasury. The cause, he said, which he defended, and for which those means were required, interested " his family, their h o l y religion, the privileges of the different orders, and generally all the po litical institutions of the kingdom to which all were sincerely attached from love to the country." " I remind you," continued his Majesty " that these gifts and these advantages were possessed by other nations as distinguished as yours. They hare almost entirely lost them by the want of public spirit and national energy, so that it may be said that these advantages are not to be found any where except in the two most famous islands in the world, Great Britain and our Sicily. Direct then your sacrifices to the pre servation of these valuable prerogatives, the precious heritages which the Kings our predecessors left you, and which, at the risk of all personal sacrifices and dangers, you are obliged to preserve for your de scendants."

Cou'el the veil, which covers the e . gin o domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many" could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advanter;e, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular exees!ses, on natare and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity if misery to lite human Vane, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Phy s lelogy of the Reproductive Organs, sad of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject caa be of more importance than the preservation of the health, lad of the physical capabilities of which every man, should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy ♦ictim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired la early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone It can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discriminatien; n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent mid practical physician, and to the medical man who caa show by his possess ion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is Witted to esteem and respect in his profes *tonal pursuits, the utmost confidence sh.euld be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has Wailed the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, w latch has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Two testimonial extracts shall suttee : (TRANSLAYION.) " Most Illustrious and Reverend Lord,—The reports now for some months circulated by the Eng lish newspapers, concerning the political party strifes in which some ecclesiastics hare allowed themselves to be carried away, and the desecration made of some of the Irish churches for the purpose of aiding and promoting secular concerns—nay, more, the reports which have reached us relative to the murders which, we are informed, are so frequent, and by reason of which the clergy have been stigmatised, and some of them charged with imprudence, and as giving indi rect provocation from the pulpit —or, at least, exte nuating the guilt of these murders—these reports must, surely, awaken the solicitude of the Sacred Congregation. " ' This Sacred Congregation cannot bring itself to believe that such reports, so extensively noised abroad, can be true; nor can it believe that ecclesiastics have forgotten that the church of God should be the house of prayer—not of secular concerns, or the meeting place of politicians; neither can the Sacred Congregation believe that ecclesiastics have ceased to recollect that they are the ministers of peace, dis pensers of the mysteries of God—men who should not involve themselves in worldly concerns—in a word, men who should abhor hlood and vengeance. Never theless, this Sacred Congregation deems it its duty to require satisfactory and speedy information concern ing all these matters, that it may know what im portance it should attach to the above-mentioned damnatory reports. Wherefore, at the suggestion of his Holiness, I have deemed it my duty to for ward this letter to your Lordship, praying you to satisfy this most reasonable solicitude of the Sacred Congre gation ; and meantime, it exhorts you to admonish the clergy, that seeking the things which are of Jesus Christ, they sedulously apply themselves to watch over the spiritual interests of the people, and in no wise mix themselves up with worldly affairs, in order that their ministry may not be brought into disre pute, and those who are against them may not have wherewith to charge them.

" The people of Palermo," says that journal, " in arms for a just cause, and strong in the success which crowns their enterprise, might have extirpated the government even to the roots. They might have followed the example of American independence, they might have aspired to institutions radically demo cratic. They have not, however, done that, in order not to place themselves in opposition with the pro testing nations, and not to exceed the limits of the political rights of Europe. Thus the intentions of the people are just and honest, and as such they can maintain them in the face of the policy of all nations." N ' GI, AND to INDIA and AUSTRALIA.

The attention of the Junta had specially to be directed towards the supplying of Palermo with provisions, and it appears that not only was food not deficient, but it did not become sensibly dearer. In the web of narrow and tor tuous streets of which Palermo is composed, an innumerable crowd circulated incessantly. The greatest part of the population was without arms ; a certain number of persons, however, had guns, and many swords and cutlasses. In some streets the shops had re-opened, and a sort of tranquillity pre vailed. The tranquillity would have been perfect, if ' the garrison had not amused itself from time to time by sweeping with grape-shot the l o ng str ee t ca ll e d Toledo, which divides the city in two. On the 22d the insurgents and the royal troops fought fiercely near the Palace of Finance, but the great effort made by the former on that day was, as we men tioned, in our last accounts, to obtain possession of the convent of the Noviaisiato. Towards the evening they succeeded in carrying that position, and in making prisoners a considerable number of soldiers. The people treated them well, and at times employed them to point the seven or eight pieces of artillery which it had been able to collect.

" North Walsham.—At this ire the Portable Engine was •f great service, and by having one of them ready, there Is no doubt but half the preperty new destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro aide, ♦ugust 22, 1846. At a Norwich lire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the Witte. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will de the work, which proved true. The fear large engines present proved useless. Pertahle Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fast is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pimps, Lift Pumps, andChaln rumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction. which wastes two-fifths ef the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. "Young and Molten, with many ether ensir.ent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity •f water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeds half the Tower consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in bycfraulie machines, nevertheless, at last the ♦ictery is won, and won for ever ; fir friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rellieg principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (sr about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most urea can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but seine men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tiea Pump an naive s•ard-winded young man of 140 LA. weight can raise 11,000 lbs. of water ono feel high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Than a continual end mist extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and aid versal ignorance, clearly previm; that linewlccl,ge is l'ewer. Jobe Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular wort, No. 1,110, did well in placing Goss'A's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because hip. Mullett, Dnblin, a theroagh-bred pump maker, Mr. Baddley, Landon, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an Iguerant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull aid Paddy in No. 1.153, and in No. 496, Book-maker remarks are preposterous. However, *a the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Abcrdeur, Hay, Parkington, with many ether discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity if the relling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain able character:—The Fountain rump is the most Important improve ment In the art •f rasing water that has appeared within the last twe thousand years—the greatest advaacement is the useful arts in modern times. The Ceasammatien Fountain Pumps are successfully carried oat for privete and public uses, at lifts below and above IP() feet altitude, for man, hnrsc, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 108 barrels of water per minute, And rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

The oh.ect of this Association Is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, reLwithstrtrding the penal: ice to which those empitying them are suh.;eeted by the 3d and 4th 'Victoria, cap. 85, arc continually rescued to. This breach of the law is acqrlesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innumerab l e cases of cleansing a chimney e." flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of futthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infiingeceent, the inge nious and effective Rarreneur machine has been invented. This Inventie.l ccnsists of lour brushes forming a square head, which by weans of elastic springs contracts or expands, accord ng to the small or extended space in watch the machine moves, thereby sreatmg an even pressure en all four s!des of a chimney. The rads attalied to this head or brush are surylied at intervals with eniversal spring j oints, caeah'e e` turning even a right angle and the whole is su"moanted w.th a doable revolv'ng ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its rialto most perfectly. The capabilities of V. 15 machine are belt: demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively use , : a the Government and nurre - sus public offices, while the patioaage bestowed by a large nureber of the robility and gentry in continuing their anneal con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

Attendance daily at 19, Der ' uses-kreet, from nem Ka Two, ABA 3111 to MOW a laatan gin Mina t• ose, Letters were received at Lloyd's on Saturday, dated Sydney, August 17, communicating the total less of the barque British Sovereign, a whaling . ship, Captain W. 11. Jones master, on the eastern side of the Sandwich Islands, and the reported horrible mas sacre by the natives of nearly the whole of the ship's crew. The vessel left Sydney on the 9th day of January last, for New Zealand, and thence to the South Sea Islands. In the course of the passage she called at the island of Thanna, where she shipped about twenty of the natives, to assist in procuring sandal wood. The captain then determined to make for Sandwich, first sending back the natives to Thanna in the ship's boat, in charge of the chief mate and several of the men. The ship left Erro manga on the evening of the 23d of April, and at daybreak the next morning, the 24th, she was found to be close in upon the eastern coast of Sandwich. She was immediately hauled on a wind, and two boats were lowered for the purpose of keeping her off the land, but being within the influence of the ground swell the boats had no effect upon her, and she soon struck upon a rock, within a cable's length of the shore. She then fell on he" broaiside, and though her masts were cut, and every means adopted to save the vessel, she in a few hours broke up and became a total wreck. For three days the crew remained near the wreck, in the hope of saving some of the stores, the natives behaving in the kindest manner. The captain and the crew, it should be observed, were r escue d f rom t h e roc k b y t h e natives, who threw ropes to them from the shore. They wished them to remain, but it was considered necessary by the captain to make to the leeward harbour, to which vessels resort in visiting the island. After about four days' travelling, they came to a bay on the south aide of the island, where the natives appeared on the same friendly terms. They gave them sugar-canes and cocoa-nuts to eat, and the chief to whom they were introduced took great liking to a child, a fine little boy, who was along with the captain. Amidst this apparent good feeling a tumult broke out among the natives, who fell upon the unfortunate crew, who were off their guard, and most of them were brutally slaughtered. The captain endeavoured to escape, and retreated into the water. They were, however, too close upon him, and his skull was smashed in. The man Welt and three others suc ceeded in getting clear by springing forward into the sea, and swimming to a canoe, with which they reached an adjacent island. The natives pursued them, and Weir's companions were overtaken, but their fates were unknown ; Weir contriving to con ceal himself in the bush, where he remained for several days. Fortunately, the first day he ventured out to the beach the Isabella Anna hove in sight, when he swam off, and was picked up. The number supposed to have been massacred is twenty-nine. THE NAVIGATION LAWS. A. public meeting of seamen, relative to the navi• gation laws, took place on Saturday evening, in the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road, when more than 2,000 seamen were present. Lieutenant Smith, R.N., was called to the chair. Mr. JAMES MATHER proposed and Mr. TUCKER seconded the following resolution :—" That this meet ing perceives with surprise and indignation the at tempt., new making to repeal the navigation laws, for the avowed purpose of substituting foreign ships and foreign seamen for British ships and British seamen in the merchant service, which will eventually reduce their wages and living to the level of the worst paid and coarsest fed seamen in the world, and will termi nate in driving British seamen from the service of their country into that of another state." The resolution was received with tremendous cheering, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. DUNN, delegate from Sunderland, next moved and Captain SCOTLAND seconded the following re• solution :—" That this meeting recommends that the seamen of Great Britain, in this serious emergency, present their case at the foot of the throne, imploring her Majesty not to allow British seamen to be reduced to the most degraded condi tion by the repeal of the navigation-laws, nor to subject the throne and the country to the dangers which would surround them by the substitution of foreign seamen for the British seamen that now so loyally guard them ; and that the memorial of the committee of delegates just read be adopted by this meeting, and transmitted to the Secretary of State for presentation to her Majesty." This resolution was also unanimously agreed to. Mr. MATHER then proposed the following resolu tion, which was seconded by a gentleman on the platform, and unanimously adopted :—" Resolved, That this meeting, upon Wednesday next, the gth February, will proceed in their boats to Westminster, each boat bearing the union flag of England, to deliver the memorial for her Majesty to the Secretary of State in Downing street;- that on this occasion, so vital to the interests and very existence of British seamen, every ship's crew in port is invited to take part in the procession, and sustain by their presence their loyal and urgent representations to her Majesty. The Committee of Seamen's Delegates were re quested to issue the necessary instructions and make the proper arrangements at the earliest moment. The meeting then separated. ROYAL HORSE ARTILLIRY.--.-WOOLWICII, Feb. 5. A number of smart young men (recruits), who have recently joined at head-quarters, have been placed under instruction to qualify them for the Royal Horse Artillery branck of the service, it beinglintended to add 15 gunners and four drivers, with two guns and 25 horses, to each of the seven troops in April next. This augmentation will not add any expense to the present staff of the corps, while it will render the troops more efficient in men and horn,. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Fan. s . —Several of the Roman Catholic bishops have arrived in town to attend a meeting, convened by the Primate, Archbishop Crolly, which is to be held at the Presbytery, Marlborough. street, on Tuesday next. The rescript from Rome will no doubt be the first subject for consideration. AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT Socum.—The monthly meeting of this society was held on Thurs day, Lord Clarina presiding. A communication from the Lord-Lieutenant was read, allocating the sum of 1,0001. for promoting the project of practical instruc tion, and eight more instructors were appointed, making the entire number sixteen, the districts being reduced in sire, to allow of more concentrated and efficient exertion in the teaching of the peasantry. The Secretary stated that since the last day of meeting his Grace the Duke of Devonshire had in timated his intention of applying the premium of .501. which he had gained for thorough-draining in Muns ter last year, to Lord Clarendon's fund for practical instructors. The following additional contributions have been also received :—The Earl of Essex (per the Earl of Clarendon), 20/. ; Wm. Henry Curran, 101.; Hon. Charles J. Trench, V.; and Captain Wm. Stuart, Royal Artillery, 51 . The thanks of the council were ordered to be con veyed to his Excellency, for his munificent contribu tion, and the confidence he still continues to repose in the exertions of the society, and to assure his Excel lency that no effort will be spared by the council to render the project of practical instructors for the farming classes as effective as possible during the ap proaching season. STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—There was a meeting of the magistrates and landowners of Upper Ossory, Queen's County, on Tuesday last, to consider the state of the district, in consequence of the discovery of a conspiracy to take away the life of Mr. J. R. Price the agent of the Lansdowne and the Fitzpatrick estates. The Right Hon. J. W. Fitzpatrick, M.P., presided. Resolutions Ware adopted, expressing horror at the contemplated crime, attributing the conspiracy to strangers who had come into the dis trict, and recommending the formation of local asso ciations for the preservation of tranquillity.

"The provincial journals of the south and west contain further afflicting intelli gence of the spread of destitution and the progress of the " clearance" system. In Macroom union, county of Cork, the ratepayers have sent an address to the guardians , declaring that " hundreds of the poor must inevitably perish if not assisted," and calling upon them t o grant " out-door relief to the aged and infirm and other helpless classes." The Ballrhannon (Donegal) herald states that threatening letters have been sent to the poor-rate collectors in that union. THE MURDERS OF THE REV. MR. MAGUIRE'S RE LATIVES.—In the Gazette of last night a reward of 1001. is offered by Government for the apprehension, &c., of the perpetrators of the homicide of Terence Maguire and Anna, his wife, by admini s t er i ng poison to them in January last, at Ardrum, county of Leitritn. The Anglo Celt, a Cavan paper, contains the fol lowing A col reepondent, upon whom we can place implicit reliance, informs us that notwithstand ing all the denials to the contrary, the body of th e Rev. T. Maguire was exhumed last Tue s d a y evening, and the stomach sent to Dublin for analyze tin,:. It appears by the evidence of Mr. Maguire's confidential housekeeper, who was eighteen years in his service, that the Rev. Gentleman stated several times, immediately before his decease, that he was poisoned by some pills which nad been administered to him. The witness states that she considered the NEW DANISH CONSTITUTION. We give below a translation of a decree, dated January 28, in which King Frederick VII, declares his intention of granting a •.new constitution to his subjects. His Majesty seems determined to meet at once the difficulties which disturbed the reign of his predecessor, and to leave the disaffected—if any there be—in his kingdom no shadow of an excuse for com plaint. It will be seen, on examination of the docu ment, that unless the Schleswig-Holstein party are of an Hibernian turn of mind, they can hardly help being delighted with the King's decree. Though the inhabitants of those provinces are in a vast minority as compared with the Danish population of the kingdom, still the number of their representatives in the Council of Delegates, to whom the plan of the con stitution will be submitted, precisely equals that of the delegates from Denmark Proper. This circum stance alone ought to convince that portion of King Frederick's dominions that no unfair advantage will be taken by him as regards his German subjects ; but that he is resolved to place the component parts of his kingdom, whether Danes or Germans, on exactly the same footing in the eyes of the Crown : " For the purpose of putting in execution the plans projected by our beloved father Christian VIII., and which we had ourselves advised, and in our desire that this work shall co-operate in maintaining the independence of the different parts of the kingdom, as well as their union in a well-ordered whole, we have resolved to take into consideration the introduc tion of such a constitution as will insure equally the inalienable rights of our Crown, guarantee the rights of our dear and faithful subjects in general, and secure the interests and privileges of the inhabitants. For these purposes we propose to establish Common States for our kingdom of Denmark and our duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, elected in equal number in our kingdom and our duchies, to assemble regularly at fixed periods, alternately in our kingdom and our duchies. The rights which we intend attributing to these states will consist in decisive votes for the change of tames and for the administering of the finances, as well as passing laws touching the common affairs of the kingdom and the duchies. We will also authorise the same states to present propositions relating to objects within their sphere of activity, immediately concerning the common interests of the kingdom and the duchies of our several provinces. By this constitution of the states nothing is to be changed in the general ordi nances of the 28th of May, 1831, or the 15th of May, 1434, respecting the organization of the provincial States in our kingdom of Denmark and our duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, or in the present relations of those duchies, or in those of our duchies of Hol stein and Lauenburg with the Germanic Confedera tion, or in the constitution of this latter duchy, or in the organisation of the Althing of our island of Ice land. In fine, the law of the constitution will pro tect equally the Danish and German languages in those districts of Schleswig where the languages co exist. Before giving to the new constitution the force of law, we shall submit it to int( lligent and ex perienced men enjoying the confidence of their coin trymen. In order to give our dear subjects a proof of our great confidence in them, we shall leave the choice of the majority of these delegates to the different categories of the deputies sitting in the lassemblies of the provincial States by right of elec tion, as well as to the clergy, prelates, and landed nobility in the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig, and to the consistories of the Universities of Copen hagen and Kiel. " For this purpose, as far as regards our kingdom of Denmark, the deputies of Copenhagen and of the provincial towns, who are named members of our faithful assembly of provincial States for the dioceses of Zealand, Funen, Laaland, and Falster, shall choose from amongst themselves three delegates; the depu ties of the great landowners, two; and the deputies of the smaller landowners, two ; the deputies of the provincial States of Northern Jutland for the towns, two ; of the great landowners, two ; those of the small landed proprietors, two ; the bishops and clergy of the said dioceses, and of Als and ..Tsroe ' two; the bishops and clergy of Northern Jutland and the parishes of the duchy of Schleswig which belong in ecclesiastical relation to North Jutland, two; and the University of Copenhagen, one. " As to our duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, the members of our faithful assembly of provincial States of Schleswig belonging to the category of great landed proprietors shall elect one delegate; the depu ties of the towns, two; those of the smaller landed proprietors, two; and the same shall be the case for their various classes in the duchy of Holstein, except that the great landed proprietors shall elect two delegates from their body. The great body of the clergy in Schleswig and Holstein shall also send two delegates, and the prelates and landed nobility of those provinces, four. " The elections for the choice of these delegates will take place in March next, in various towns which we shall name, as soon as each member of the assemblies of the provincial States shall receive an order by a royal rescript ; commissioners, appointed by us, presiding over the proceedings. When the elections shall have terminated, and the results have been made known to us, we will nominate, to be added to the delegates, eight persons from our king dom of Denmark, four from the duchy of Schleswig, and four from that of Holstein. The whole number of delegates to be appointed is, therefore, 52, 26 for Denmark and 26 for the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Two months afterwards, at the - latest, these delegates shall assemble on a day fixed by us in our palace of Copenhagen, under the presidency of some of our highest functionaries, and shall commence their labours, continuing them until we think fit to cause them to cease. We reserve to ourselves, however, independently of the special object of their convocation, to submit to their ex amination certain matters relative to legis lation and administration, which at a later period shall be laid before the provincial Statei when assembled this year ; particularly the establishment of a general militia, the regulation of the monetary system, and the final dispositions touching the order in which royal and private propositions shall be dis cussed in the provincial States. In the discussions any member may employ, as he thinks fit, the two languages of the country, and the minutes shall also be drawn up in both tongues. The result of the discussions shall afterwards be submitted to us, that we may declare our royal will concerning them. If we feel a lively joy in finishing the work commenced by our deceased father, our satisfaction is doubled by the thought, that we are enabled to publish this decree on the anniversary of the birth of King Fre derick VI. of glorious memory, and thus unite the remembrance of the founder of the institution of the provincial States to the undertaking which he pre pared by that institution. " STEMANN. HALM. ORSTED. ALGREEN. BEUTZEN. USSNIG. " Jan. 28." Letters corning direct from Palermo do not an nounce that the insurgents had made any further progress. But we read in a letter of the 2Ath from Naples that the intelligence had been received that, after a bloody struggle, they 114 succeeded in pos sessing themselves of the Bank and the Royal Palace. The battle lasted a whole day, and it was said had led to the city being again bombarded. The Duke de Majo had sought refuge in the c imp of General de Sauget ; General Vial had embarked, and had arrived at Naples at the date of the last letters. It is said that the insurgents found in the Bank 2,000,000 ducats (about 0,000,000 francs) ; and it is added that the number of soldiers they had made pri3oners was very great. As always occurs in such cases, the two parties addressed accusations and re criminations to each other. The insurgents reproached the soldiers with having massacred Benedictine monks without defence, and excused themselves for having been guilty of cruelty towards the police Agents who had fallen into their hands. The enthusiasm of the people had not declined. The lists of subscriptions increased rapidly, money pouring in in all directions for the relief of the poor and wounded. The 'Jesuits had subscribed for 1,200 f., and transformed one of their houses into an hospital for the wounded. There is no intelligence from other parts of Sicily ; but letters from Messina of the 20th announce that every thing caused it to be feared that a bloody collision would take place in that city. As we have already said, the intelligence from Naples had caused a profound impression. The first concessions made by the Ling had not satisfied public opinion, as they had appeared tardy and insufficient. The people were, moreover, greatly surprised at not seeing any change of Ministry under circumstances so grave, and when public opinion was so manifestly hostile to the Minister of Police. Clubs were organised and those faces were seen in Naples which never show themselves except on the eve of great popular move ments. Every one was expecting a movement, and the least rumours, some cries uttered by accident, caused a panic. The people seemed as it were to be preparing themselves for an outbreak. In the mean while the Government seemed paralysed. Neverthe less, in compliance with the general wish, the King had consented to separate himself from Monsignor Code, his confessor, who retired to a convent at Be nevento. In the evening of the 26th M. del Carretto, Minister of Police, received an order of departure. He was conducted from the palace on board a steamer prepared in advance. He was not allowed to take leave of his family. We perceive, by the Official Gazette of Turin, that this ex-Minister had arrived at Genoa on the 29th, on board the Neptune. On the 25th ult the chiefs of the moderate liberals were in communication with the chiefs of the move ment, and it was determined, before nuking any po pular demonstration, that they should wait to ascer tain the effect of the petitions to the King, praying for a constitution, which were being signed in all directions. But the chiefs were not able to check themassea. On the 26th a great crowd, about thirty thousand persons, assembled in Toledo-street, which is the principal one of Naples. This mass shouted "Long live the King! Long live the Constitution !" The icurious immediately assembled from all sides and all the adjacent streets were encumbered. There upon [the military suthorittes, believing the move ment serious, executed the orders given for a case of riot. The red flag was hoisted at the fort of saint Elmo, and three guns were fired. The fort of the Wife replied, and at this signal all the trcops of the garrison issued forth, surrounded the c hateau, and went towards the street of Toledo. But it was impossible to penetrate the compact crowd which filled the gigantic street, continually shouting, "Long live the hilig ! Long live the Constitution ! ' The windows were crowded with people. The women waved handkerchiefs of the Italian colours. Some dragoons, having attempted to make a charge, fell with their horses, but they were immediately raised by the people. The young nobles and citizens em braced the Lazzaroni, and the civic guards fraternized with the people. General Slatella having succeeded in forcing his way on horseback into the midst of the crowd, called cat them to be orderly, and to cry " Long live the King !" The people uttered the cry, and then called upon the General to shout, " Long live the Constitu tion !" The General did not comply with the re quest, but it is asserted that he answered "L'avrele" —" You shall have it !" The crowd subsequently gradually dispersed, and two hours after order be came re-established. After some hesitation, the King accepted the resignation of all his Ministers, andt formed a new Cabinet. The decree, which i s daed the 27th, nominates the Duke de Serra C apriole (Ambassador at Paris), President o f the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Prince Dentrie!,Mi nister of Finance ; Den Gaetano Scovasso , M inister of Commerce and Public Instruction ; Prince de Torella, Minister of Public Works ; _Don Cesido ) Bonanni, Minister of Just ice tainis e and Ecclesiastical Affair§ ; Don Carlo Canczulli, ter of the e h er witht o The town of Palermo has been divided into eight military quarters, in each of which there are a . chief and two sub-chief.•, who are charged to organise all able men into companies, one portion of wisish are to g m P u r a n i t i n s t e a t t i h n t ew h o d e a sroduce city against t ao i a bf l ictshhhoemsdea:nhweawitttarhso:t, swords. N s i c.boheredpnsad.i reinforcements quarter generaloo st could be obtained. Recompenses in money and honours were to be given to the men who distin guished themselves. The tricolour flag, surmounted by an eagle, were to be confided to the bravest men in each quarter, and at the quarter-general. We have stated above that the junta was divided into two sections—one of defence, the other of admi nistration. The section of defence consists of the Prince de Pantelleria, M. Jacomo, M. Colona, M. La Masa, M. I3ivona, M. Burgio•Villafiorita, M. Castiglia, and M. Crispi, secretary. The following gentlemen farm the section of administration :—Baron Iliso, President M. Balsam), Chevalier Fardella, 31. Vergava, Prince de Rammacca, Baron Porcefli, Marquis Pilo, Count d'Aceto, 31. Napoli, M. Cianciolo, M. F. Napoli, M. Zappulls, M. Caruso, M. Miloro, Cher. del Castillo, M. Cascio, M. Ondes, Prince de Grammonte, M. Palicaolo, and M. Minnelli, sec. ; M. Bentivegnu, and M. Parinella, vice sec. In the proclamations published by the junta, the names of several of the insurgents who have must distinguished themselves by their bravery are given, accompanied with some what enthusiastic laudation. Particular mention is made of a lady of distinction named Maria Testa di Lana, who had assumed male attire, taken the com mand of a detachment, and fought for the country. The I'retor of Palermo had caused all the depots of corn to be publicly sold. Ile previously disposed of his own corn at a moderate rate, and Baron Tasca Mas trogiovanni had followed his example. The general committee addressed an appeal to the clergy, to re open the churches, celebrate the usual offices of reli gion, and encourage the people to show their love for the country. The Princess Scordia had offered to attend on the wounded in the hospitals, and to dress their wounds. The Duchesses de Monteleone and Gualtieri had made similar offers, and it was not doubted that all ladies of rank in the island would imitate them. To show the disinterestedness of the Sicilians, the committee had published a letter from M. F 8140112, in which he modestly disclaimed the honour which had been erroneously ascribed to him, of having b een one of the young men who composed the provisional committee of the 12th. He could not, he said, con sent to receive any share in an honour which belonged wholly to others; but he hoped by his own actions to attain distinction, and he was ready to sacrifice his life for his country. The following correspondence between the Duke de Majo and the general com mittee had been published for the information of the people : " TO THE PRETOR OF PALERMO. " Most Excellent Marquis, I send to your Excel lency a distinguished officer, Major Ascensa Spada fora, who is charged to inform you of the events of yesterday and the day before, in order that the people may know how the troops have conducted themselves towards the citizens, and vice versa. Be lieve me to feel towards you sentiments of esteem and consideration. " DUKE DE MAJO. " Palermo, 23d January." The reply was as follows : " The general committee has read the note of your Excellency, which Major Ascenso has remitted to me. The committee charges me to inform you that, when we shall have gloriously terminated our present struggle, history will know what judgment to pass on the conduct of both parties. Accept the assurance of my most distinguished esteem. " MARQUIS SPEDALOTTO, " Preter of Palermo. " Palermo, 231 January.

OLIVER CRQXWELL.—Mr. Lemon, deputy-keeper of the State papers, pointed out to the narrator a re markable proof of Cromwell's suspicious accuracy in as certaining how far the particular members of his council were to be held responsible for the acts of each sitting, by causing their names to be inserted in the margin of the council book in the order in which they arrived, and not, as in all ordinary cases, by enumerating, in the com mencement, those in attendance, as aiiplying to the whole of each several Sitting.—Poynder s Likrary Es tratts (New Scrim). 1
