The principal changes indicated ';ius.4t follow :—The First Chamber will undergea o i i.; - ::.A1:111 ganizition ; both commerce and industry will be re presented in it, In the Second Chamber there will be four Members nominated by the KING (instead of two), two of whom must be Ministers, The First Chamber will not have the power of compelling the presence of Ministers. The First Chamber will be liable to be dissolved. The Minister will not be obliged to resign only on account of an accusation by the States. In case of a new successor to the Crown, the Chambers shall not have the power to assemble unless summoned. The KING shall not be obliged on his accession to the Throne to swear to the Constitu tion. The sixth article of the Constitution will be altered ; it does not at present accord with the funda mental principle that the state is Christian. A letter from Venice states that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has given orders to MM. ZANDOMINIFI, sculptors, to erect a monument of marble in that city, to the memory of TITIAN, the great painter. This work is to be placed in the church of St. Mary, op posite the monument to CANOVA. The Independance of Brussels says :—" It has been asked whether the Emperor of RUSSIA during his stay at Vienna had an interview with the Count DE CHAMBORD. It is now certain that these personages have not met. The Count DE CHAMBORD did not even go to Vienna from Froshdorff during the v i s it of the Emperor of RussrA." 1 ROYAL BRITISH B.kNIC, on the Scottish System (Incorporated by Charter), besides the trans action of all ordinary Banking business, grants CASH CREDITS, and allows 3 per cent. per annum on Sums of any amount deposited for Six months.

The Con,stitutionnel publishes the letter of General LAMORICIERE, by which he refuses to take the oath of fidelity to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic. The letter, which is addres se d t o the Minister of War, and dated Brussels, 14th inst., is as follows : " General,—Torn from my home, thrown into prison, proscribed in contempt of the laws, I did not believe you would have gone so far as to ask me for an oath of fidelity to the man whose power, usurped by violence, is only maintained by force. "But a document emanating from your department contains a paragraph which evidently applies to the generals who have been banished, and imposes on them the obligation of the oath. Two months are allowed to those who reside in 11 , 1gium to reply to this summons. "I hear it said on all sides that the oath is not bind ing towards ono who has not kept his ovsn. Widely as this doctrine is now used, I reject it. Delay Ido not require—the oath I refuse. MONDAY, MAY 17. MILITIA BILL.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg. " Dr. Pickier 1 is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct." —London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1831. " The editor-has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are ac curately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1832. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochu e' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 28, 1852. ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 10th states that the Abbe DE &JAR, the new auditor of the Rota for France, and Monsignor FLAVIO DI CHIGI had just arrived there. The latter has expressed himself in the warmest terms for the kind reception which had been given to him by the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic. The arrival of M. Tninns was every day expected. The Pontifical authorities were a little moved on hearing of the expected arrival of this new traveller. It is said that M. TRIERS is collecting documents or materials for a new historical work.

Thrust, and squeeze, and tug, and throng, they would again endure, If sacrifices such as these could similar sights procure ; But noble architectural pile, though brittle House of Glass, There will remain a famous House, which none can ere surpass, Where ornament, and skill, and taste, is always so displayed, That greater, m.re - enduring fa 're, than thine will it pervade. That House has many spacious parts, each stored with gems of taste, And splendid cloths of various shades to every fashion's traced. All these for Exhibitions great, E.

Price, Sir.R. °each, Charles Bra,—ln the following list of the probable starters and riders for the ensuing Derby, although I have but little doubt it will be found to be tolerably correct, yet in some respects it will naturally be otherwise, especiall with regard to the jockies, many of whom as yet are not regularly engaged, and several depend entirely upon the claims of their first masters, who have not yet made up their minds as to the starting of some of their horses, who in reality possess no earthly chance of whi ning. For instance, if Mr. Bowes claims Butler for Daniel O'Rourke, of couiso Lord Orford will have to find another jockey fur Alcoran; and should Nat mount Harbinger, Rogers will ride Kingston, and Pettit Maidstone, but if Templeman backs Harbinger, Nat will be upon Kingston, and Rogers on Maidstone. There are several other doubtful mounts, but I have compiled the best list I possibly could at this early period, from, in some respects, rather scanty materials. B3fore giving the almost certain lint of starters, I will just name those horses which may, or may not start, and which form the third class to which I referred in my notes of last week. I was unable then to say whether this class would send a few starters or not, and shall continua in a like uncertain condition for a day or so. The following list includes all the doubtful starters: — Phantom, Poodle, colt by Harkaway, colt by Hetman Platoff, Golden Age, Filius, Father Thames, Vortex, Hierarchy, Northman, Womersley, Peppermint, Ma sham, Sackbut, Daniel O'Rourke, Princess colt, King Fisher, and Lapidist.

The Cornwall Railway will complete the trunk line of communica tion between London, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Falmouth, anil Pen zance. The length of the line will be 63 miles, extending from Ply mouth to Truro and Falmouth, joining the South Devon Railway at Plymouth, and the West Cornwall Railway at Truro. It received the sanction of Parliament in 1846; the works were immediately com menced ; about seven miles of the line wer3 in a very forward state, the land for which was purchased and paid for, when the monetary crisis of 1847 compelled the directors is suspend the works, and put an end to the contracts which bad been entered into. The present altered state of the money market, and the greatly reduced price at which railway works are now being executed, have just fled the Directors in submitting to their Shareholders a scheme for a large reduction in the capital of the Company, and tile aban donment of branches not likely to yield an immediate return. This SC;.CIIIC having received he sanction of the Proprietory, was sub mitted to the Board of Trade, who, by their warrant, dated the 26th of March, 1352, have reduced the share capital from 1,600,000/. to 1,125,06,1. This capital has by the warrant been divided into 56,253 shares of 20/. each assigning to each holder of an original share of 5' I. two shares of 201: each ; and of an original share of 251., one share of 20/. ; thereby reducing the liability of the shareholders 20 per cent. ; all sums of money which have been paid up on the s'll. and 251. shares are to be deemed to be paid up on the 201. shares, which are substituted for them, amounting to 3/. Iss. per 20/. share. The importance of the line as the last connecting link between the metropolis and the extreme western ports of Falmouth and Pen zance will be apparent. Falmouth, it is well known, is the port of call for a large propor tion of our homeward bound shipping ; 1,324 vessels have called there during the last year. The -construction of the railway, and the extension of I.ll,.:lectrie teleVaphyvould be of immense import ance in the transmission of mails, passengers, cargoes, eorresdond once, and communication between tha first channel port and all parts of the empire. The dangers and delays of the channel navigation are well known to nautical men, and are immensely increased after having passed the Lizard. Falmouth, immediately within the Lizard, offers a safe port accessible at all times, and in all weathers, and most easily protected from hostile attack. Cornwall is well known throughout the world for its mineral wealth, abounding as it does in mince of copper, tin, lead, iron, and other metals; a large proportion of the capital embarked in these undertakings is provided by parties living out of the county. The importance of the line to all persons so interested is obvious. Its fisheries, which admit of unlimited extension, furnish supplies to the home and foreign markets. Its early vegetable productions are even now sent to London, and other parts of England ; and Cornwall will become the garden for the supply of these articles when a railway can secure their fre quent, uninterrupted, and rapid transmission. Penzance, Falmouth, and the various watering-places along the line of the Cornwall Railway, will be eagerly sought by visitors and invalids, as soon as the railway shall be extended into the county. The population is remarkably locomotive in its habits, and the large amount of local traffic attracts the attention of all persons visiting the county. The construction of the line involves no engineering difficulties, or extraordinary works, and the directors have offers from responsible contractors to take and complete the whole of the works at the price stated in their engineer's estimates. From the experi flee obtained in the construction of the West Cornwall Railway, the Directors have every reason to believe the line will be completed considerably within these estimates. The truffle estimated at different periods, and compared with that now realised on the South Devon line, at the eastern extremity, and the West Cornwall at the western, warrants the Directors in stating their firm belief that a revenue will be realised, which will yield a high per centage on the capital to be expended. The landowners are very favourably disposed, and will part with the land which may be required for the line on very advantageous terms. Several large landowners have already consented to take up the value of their land in shares. The importance of the line in a national point of view has been recognised in Parliament ; and very recently by the Treasury and by the Admiralty. The Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Companies are largely interested in the Company. The Directors having resolved to offer to the public a limited num ber of forfeited shares, at a discount of 3/. 15s. per 201. share, on pay ment of 15s. per share—being the call now made, and making 4/. 103. per share paid up—will receive applications for such shares in the undermentioned form, addressed to the care of Messrs. r. W. Thomas and Sons, st), Threadneedle-street, until the 25th of May instant. The incoming Shareholders will, in addition to this di3count, have the advantage of the l and already purchased, the works executed, and the Act of Incorporation.

Yesterday morning the greater portion of this extensive and splendid building—including the Cub-market for the sale and boiling of shell fish—was opened for trade. The opening was preceded by an official visit of Ur. Bunning the architect, of the ward, but no formal ceremony was attached to it; nevertheless, it is expected that the Lord Mayor will o en it in state on its final com p letion in Jul y or August. At present there are six ar cades of the p ri ncipal market finished, each being 180 feet by 20; and w hen . the re maining three are completed the market will occupy an area of 32,400 feet. This extraordinary number is exclusiv e of the space upon w hich the wharf and th e river and Thames-street front stand. In the centre arcade an im mense fountain is placed, the jet of which is nine feet high, and the basin into which We water falls is 36 feet in circumference. The sub-market is 100 feet long by CO feet wide, affording an area of 6,000 feet; this is exclusive of the stores, icerooms, hoilinghouses, eng i ne _ room and staircases; it is li g hted by two large apertures in the floor of the principal market, and in winter or f oggy r weather there are 3 2 jets of gas. -d ay the dem o li t i on of the last portion of the old market sheds and boilinghousee was commenced to prepare the site for the three remaining arcades and the front in Thames- street ; this will extend from Custom House-stairs (West) to the h'onses on the west side of the market, and will be in a similar style of architec ture to the river front; the whole is expected to be com pleted before the autumn.

The n ew p ortion of line opened is nearly thirty extending from the Melmerby station, be tween Ripon and Thirsk, to the port and town of Stockton, in the county o f Durham. A further extension of the com pany's line to Hartlepool, about twelve miles from Stockton, will be opened on the Ist of June, and then the Leeds Northern Ra il wa y will form a direct communication between two of the most rising ports on the north-east coast of England and the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire slid the thole 9( Lancashire. I know the consequence of my resolution. Twenty nine years and a halt passed in the army , t h irty-six campaigns resulting from 18 years' war in Algeria (from May, 1830, to January, 1848), some services rendered to France abroad and during the fatal days of June, 1848, services which, perhaps, are not yet forgotten —all this will be reduced to nothing, I shall be struck out from the lists of the army. Once more it will be proved that rank is at the mercy of arbitrary power. That rank was made the patrimony of the officer by the law of May 19, 1834; he could not lose it but by the sen tence of a court-martial. That law is trampled under foot by a Government which respects neither person nor property. " Thus the sword which I had devoted to the service -of-Prance 13 about - torn - from - my - hand. What could Ido with it under such a Government? But if— which God forbid—our frontiers should be threatened, I would hasten to resume it, and to fight for national in dependence, for history sufficiently tells me that in pre sence of extreme dangers, brought about by ambition, despotism does not require an oath from brave men, who march in the defence of the country. (Signed) " General DE LAMORICIERE." The Presse, in its weekly commercial review, says : " The retail trade of the capital has profited largely by the presence of the number of strangers who came to see the fetes, A great quantity of goods was sold in the shops, and almost every branch of business has been benefited by the influx of sight-seers. The trade of Paris had need of this favourable circumstance, as for several months past the manufacturers of the departments had been better treated, as far as commands were concerned, than the articles made in Paris, where , the revival of business was only partial. The foreigners who lately arrived, and in particular the English, have made consi derable purchases. As to exports, they have been late this year, but the steamers which have last arrived from the United States have brought over orders for French goods. The mercantile position of the United States has much improved within the last six months. It may be remembered that in February the advises from New York announced so great a glut of goods that forced sales were effected, at from 40 to 50 per cent. of loss. But the last letters from North America are more sa tisfactory. A great part of the goods on hand had been disposed of in the interior of the country, and the Ame rican dealers, now requiring now supplies, have sent over large orders, particularly for the goods manufactured at Rouen and Mulhansen. The proceedings of the Legislative Body on Sa turday were not of any great interest. The President informed the Chamber that he had received from the Minister. of State a Bill tending to modify certain articles of the Criminal Code, relative to crimes com mitted by French subjects in foreign countries. This treasure was sent to the bureaux for examination. M. LANGLAIS (de la Sarthe) then read a supplemen tary report from the Committee on the Convict Re habilitation Bill, relative to the amendment adopted by the Legislative Body in the sitting of May 3, and since then agreed to by the Council of State. This document was ordered to be printed and distributed, the discussion being postponed until afterwards. General PARCIIAPPE next read the report from the Committee charged to examine the Bill calling out 80,000 men from the class of 1852. The Com mittee, he said, was altogether in favour of the mea sure. After a report from M. SLVERIN ADBATIICCI ) and . another report from M. ALFRED LEROUX on several Bills of local interest, the House adjourned after a short sitting, at four o'clock, to Tuesday. We read in the Courrier du Havre :—" It is po sitively stated that M. PROUDHON, having obtft from the PRINCE PRESIDENT the remission et punishment, has arrived here, and is about to embark for the United States. It is, it is said, on con dition of his quitting France hat he was set at li berty." We read in the Patrie—" The banquet offered to the sub-officere arose from a happy inspiration of the PRINCE PRESIDENT. After the theatrical perform ance at the Tuilieries on Wednesday, the PRINCE said to General MaGeeet, Genera], an idea has just oc curred to me. We of the grand epaulettes have to day had an exquisite dinner, why should not the gelons enjoy themselves as well as •the giaines depinards ? Can you lend me for to-morrow your splendid room at the Ecole Militaire I' ) Ten minutes afterwards CUEVET received an order for a dinner for 3,000 persons, and the next day all the delegates of the army drank the health of their noble enter tainer." A grand musical mass was celebrated on Saturday morning at half-past eleven . o'clock by the Arch bishop of Paris in the church of St. Eustache, on the occasion of giving the benediction of the Church to the busts of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, which were in tended for the central markets. A great crowd was present long before the ceremony began. The busts were brought in with great pomp, preceded by the band of the republican guard, and followed by 100 young girls in white, blue scarfs, and having each a wreath of white roses on the head. The porters of the markets carried the busts, each being escorted by the corporation for' which it was destined. The cortege was closed by the Prefect of Police, the Mayor of the arrondissement, and the other civil authorities, and a number of officers of the National and Repub lican Guards. After all the persons composing the procession had taken their places, the mass was exe cuted, after which the Archbishop pronounced an appropriate address, and then gave his benediction to the busts. The procession then left the church in the order in which it bad entered, and the busts placed in due form in the places appointed li f linen-hall, at r In the evening a ball took pla ce in the thweemre passed families andfriends were present.

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.---COMBINA TION DEFEATED. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Friday last the Permanent Way Companies Bill was brought before a Select Committee of the House of Commons, Lord Hotham Chairman. The promoters of this Bill consisted of persons connected as engineers or otherwise, indirectly concerned in the construction of railways, consisting of Mr. William H. Barlow, En gineer of the Midland Railway; P. W. Barlow, r. Sa muels, formerly Engineer of the Eastern Counties; Mr. P. Ashcroft, Superintendent of Permanent Way of the aofth together,e i i in railway c r o a n i a lw t ieatly,wtconstruction. purchase would racphpaes appear rup froma These parties had Eastern Counties; and a Mr. Richardson, who has been du employed e i s te s i p h a e t e o n p t e s n i a n t g p a r d e sent obtained relating to permanent way of railways, and sought powers also to purchase future patents relating to the same object—a power that was looked upon with consi derable jealousy by the Committee. The two witnesses called by the promoters of the Bill were Mr. Samuels and Mr. May, of the firm of Ransome and May, who endeavoured to maintain the principle that railway com panies and the public would be benefited by a combina tion of all inventions relating to the formation of rail ways being in the hands of au incorporated company, ' and possessing exclusive powers, to which reference has been made. On this, as on all other questions, there happened to be a difference of opinion; and the pro moters of the Bill found, to their great astonishment, an array of opposition against their dews, as to rail ways anti the public being benefited, which they did not at all anticipete. The opponents to the Bill, Messrs. Adshead and Greases, the proprietors of Greaves's Patent Conical Slccp: , r, which is adopted by Mr. Robert Stephenson for (M Egyptian Railway, found gust unexpectedly an in -llnenee spontaneously off,red to their aid which pre sented such a phalanx of first class engineering strength, that completely paralyzed the efforts of the promoters of the Bill, and they concluded after the first sitting of the Committee to withdraw it. A judgment may be formed of the estimation in which this Railway Construction Monopoly Bill was viewed, when it is seen that out of the number of most eminent eegireets, who tendered to give evidence in opposition to the Bill, are to be found the names of J. K. Blond, Esq., C.E. ' Joseph Lucke, Esq., C.E. J. M. Itt adel,,Es q , C.E., President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Charles Vignolee, Esq., C. J o h n Fowler, E-q , C.E., J.E.

FUZE. — On Sunday, the 1611 instant, between two and three, r. 31., one of the most disastrous fires that has ever half-depopulated a village took place at Bi anc a, in Cambridgeshire. The town or village consists of one long streetswarly half a mile in length. The fire broke out in a pig-stye, and the wind being in the same direction, it rapidly spread from one end of the place to another, con suming everything in its course. One small engine was brought to play, but, through the want of water, was of little use.
