At last the demagogues of Ireland will find that they cannot embroil the people of these islands with impunity either to themselves or to their wretched. subordinates. Nobly have the Lords and the Com mons fulfilled the expectations of England. What April was in reference to the multitude, July has proved in regard to the Legislature. When the miserable rabble of the Chartists threatened an insur rection, all party feeling, all the invidious distinctions of classes, all the feuds and jealousies excited by re ligious diffirences, were forgotten on the instant. The population rose to a man ; they stood side by side—the . gentleman and the mechanic, the barrister and the groom, the aristocrat and the shop. keeper—brothers in the defence of their common nationality, fired by the same enthusiasm and animaCd with the most stern determination to vindicate the majesty of the law, the blessing of order, and the glory of the Constitution. In a similar spirit the two houses of Parliament have responded to the threat of rebellion on the part of the miserable fac tions of Ireland. All the bickerings of political ani mosity are lost to the recollection in the indignation excited by the diabolical efforts of the insurgent de mocrats beyond St. George's Channel. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the supporters of his Government, Sir ROBIERT PEEL and his numerous followers, Josfairti Hum; and those who were recently his liege-men in the advocacy of Parliamentary reform, Protection ists, Radicals, 'Whigs, and Conservatives, the bur gesses from the manufacturing towns, and the knights from the shires famous for their agricultural enterprise— a ll combine to attest the fervour of their loyalty and the sincerity of their patriotism. On Saturday the Government Bill for the Sus pension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland was passed through all its stages in a single sitting of the House of Commons through the preliminary forms, through the first reading, through the second read ing, through Committee, clause by clause,. and through the final ordeal of the third readinz o , rd in rapid suc cession. Yesterday the 'louse of Lords ass - ed acted with equal promptitude, the Bill beingp at once through all the formulas of the Imperial Legislature. This very day, while we are writin g thes words, the Bill has becom e the l aw of the land_havingef been ratified by the wi ll of the SOVEREIGN. Before this evening's imp ression of Tie s , n, passe s re from the hands of the p ublishe r , the news of the proceeding of the British Legislature will have been some hours on its road to Ireland. Greater activity could scarcely have been evinced by Parliament, and certainly that activity will not have been useless —seeing that it is a legis lative corroboration of the unanimity displayed on the memorable and glorious Tenth of April. It is an additional and conclusive evidence that the British 1 Empire is indestructible, and that the British Consti tution can never be overthrown by merely human agencies—because it shows that that Constitution is rooted in the hearts of an united people. Voices earthly and unearthly cry out to Ire land in the first paroxysm of her insane rebellion. The Voice of O'CONNELL the Liberator sounds from his august tomb—repeating that noble axiom which fell from his living lips like a diamond of thought—" No political advantage is worth gaining which requires the effusion of a single drop of human blood 1" The Voice of History, the reproaches of England, who, in the days of her own tribulation, lavished ten millions of the public money and four hundred thousand pounds of private charity upon the starving peasantry of Erin ; the warnings of LAMARTINE, who repulsed the traitorous de putation from Dublin; the contempt of the Paris newspapers, at this moment breathing scornfully from the capital of Republican France upon the would-be Republicans of the Ro tunda ; the mandates of the benevolent Pius speaking as their spiritual preceptor to the Roman Catholic population of Ireland ; the horror of Europe, the exe crations of humanity, the anathemas of Christendom —all sound bodingly across the waters of the Chan nel to the promoters of this mad Revolution. Will Ireland hearken to these appeals of reason—or will she listen merely to her own dark passions, to the in sidious war-whoops of her demagogues, to the atrocious dictates of a mistaken and suicidal ven geance P England awaits an answer—earnestly but serenely. And accordingly as the answer is fa vourable or otherwise will the historian of Ireland have to write of 1848 as the year which witnessed the propitious commencement of her happiness or the awful and tremendous consummation of her misery. Italy is now in that intermediate position which is the most perilous to a civilized nation. It stands midway between revolution and tranquillity—be tween anarchy and order--between constitutional freedom and unbridled lemocracy. To retrograde would be to cause a terrific explosion among the passions of nineteen millions of the human family. To precipitate the reforms rendered necessary by the ' age would be to loosen those beautiful ties which bind together in the network of fraternity the different classes of the community. The former step would be dangerous because it would defy into frenzy the natural yearnings of the Italians. The latter would be dangerous because it would stimulate too hastily the already over-excited ambition of the multitude. Never was a medium course more im periously demanded by circumstances than it is at present throughout the Roman peninsula. Never was the holy cause of Moderation more imperatively required than it is at this moment in the council chambers of the Italian Princes. Christendom has recently seen the glory of LAMA&TINE darkened in consequence of his fe;thfulness to that great political creed of Moderation. It will soon see whether the kindred glory of Plus can be obscured by a similar devotion to the interests of humanity. The spectacle, we must allow, at once, is a terrible one, but it is as sublime as it is terrible. A glance at the map of Italy, and a moment's re flection upon the po s iti on o f a ff a i rs in that country, will satisfy the most sceptical that its inhabitants are lying in the intermediate state we have already ex pressed—however similar the situation of the parties in the different divisions of the peninsula, may, at first sight, appear to be. Lombardy, it is true, is still in volved in the doubts and vicissitudes of war—to the eastward, the Venetians are awaiting the issue of the contest between the Sardinian Sovereign and the Pro -consul of Austria, to the westward, the Pied montese (those at least who have not embarked their lives and fortunes in fighting the battle of independence against Germany) are tarrying for the consummation of the vietories already gained by CARL° ALUERTO, in a kind of ecstasy of con fidence. Further southwards the petty principali. ties, such as Parma, Modena, Lucca, Guastalla, and Piacenza, are drifting to and fro amidst the convulsion of the political elements of Italy a circumstance which is scarcely surprising in a time when the moral electricity of civilization is setting all our calculations at defiance, when the needle varies to all points of the compass in the hands of the most ex perienced statesmen, when, in short, even the cele brated " Pilot who weathered the storm " of mis government in England, would find himself distracted by the innumerable shoals and sunken rocks which have suddenly sprung up about the bows of Europe. Tuscany, more than any other of the independent states of Italy, is paralysed into inactivity for the time being, until the prospects of the Italian million are more fully developed, when it must be whirled away either to the right or to the left, either to ultra-democracy, or to constitutional moderation, with a velocity only commensurate with its recent quiescence. Beyond these—beyond Venice, Lombardy, Tuscany, Piedmont, and the minor principalities —are the States of the Church, the kingdom of Naples, and the island of Sicily. For the last-mentioned territory has severed the yoke which chained it to the footstool of the inhuman Bourbon, who only the other day wore upon his brow the crown of the Two Sicilies, and whose name is now the execration of the whole world. Once more the famous island of THEOCRITUS with his idylls, and of POLYPHEMUS with his one eye and his jealousies, has assumed to itself the right of choosing its monarch, and of vindi cating its long derided nationality. The diadem which, according to a beautiful legend, passed from the head of Good King ROMERT, when he slumbered one Sunday evening in a church after the chaunting of the ltegitificat, has descended at last, towards the middle of the nineteenth century, upon the forehead of the Duke of GENOA. The plums of good fortune seem to be falling to the lot of the house of Lorraine. The symbols of Venice and of Lombardy are flung at one moment into the helmet of CARLO ALBERTO, and at another, the symbol of Sicily is tossed into the ducal cap of his son. Meanwhile the fate of FEB- , DINAND of Naples is very different. His troopers and their coadjutors, the brutalised la.azaroni, being his only defenders against an ignominious assassi nation, and the remembrance of his atrocious and dastardly triumph over the unfortunate Neapolitans, being his only consolation for the present abhorrence of his contemporaries and the future execration of posterity. Last of all—most sad, most affecting, most solemn, most unaccountable, amidst all this mournful catalogue of vicissitudes—there is Rome and the surrounding dominions of the Papacy. It was the PONTIFF who gave the signal of regenera tion, it was from the hill of the Quirinal that the tri colour of United Italy was first unfurled, it was from the heart of the Eternal City that first emanated those doctrines of civil and religious liberty which have since, within a few months, carried joy and exulta tion from one extremity of the peninsula to the other. And yet, it is the POPE, who, every now and then, feels most bitterly the sorrows of ingratitude, it is the Quirinal which is inter mittently regarded with the most suspicion, it is the Eternal City which is at all times the most embarrassed by the vices of democracy and by the intrigues of demagogues. Already GIOHERTI has spoken upon this subject—and of the patriotism, of the liberality, of the democracy of Glossier', who dares to raise the whisper of a doubt? GIOSIERTI— this true, patriotic, radical, democratic GIOMERTI—has spoken of the possible alienation of Pio Norio and the R e o r h , a , ns, e and he has spoken of it thus :—" Woe be to m cried, " if, losing sight of the doubl e dignity and double responsibilities of Pius, I can ever have the madness to doubt the sincerity o f remember thate mhiesmpbaetrriottihsamt.'; No, the Romans ever should while they are squabbling i n the p recincts of they shou ldever re member the Roman Parliament the soldiers of Piedmont are fighting for the freedom of their common-land, to the war-cry of " Pfus—ltaly—and CHARLES AL BERT 1" There is at this moment, however, an inter- incdiate pause throughout the peninsula. Let the Italians avail themselves of the opportunity and unite, or—to use that cant phrase of the day, which expresses so much—let them fraternire I No political pamphlet ever appeared more oppor tunely than that to which we have already referred on two occasions—we mean the intelligent " Sketches of the Progress of Civilization and Public Liberty," by Jonx MACGREGOR, M.P. We are induced to recur to this brochure, not only because we have been captivated in a great measure by its serene and masculine declamation, not only because we regard the arguments of a close • reasoner like the author of the " Progress of America," as eminently entitled to consideration, not only because the history of civilization and the spread of liberal ideas during the last hundred years, dating from the middle of the eighteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century, are here epitomised in seventy two pages octavo—but because to all these circum stances may be added just now the extraordinary position of affairs both within the realms of England, and beyond the seas in either hemisphere. So mar vellous, so rapid, so comprehensive, so sudden, be wildering, and tremendous have been the political changes effected since the commencement of 1848, that the average views of the multitude upon the great questions of social distinction and constitutional government are liable to fall into an appalling state of confusion, unless the direct tendency of the popular movement is continually forced upon the recollection of the community, even at the hazard of a wearisome itteration and tautology. Never, indeed, was it more requisite to remind the people of these islands again and again, in language admitting of no possible miscon struction, of the actual sequence of the events which have led England and Europe into their present astonishing predicament. At this important junc ture Mr. MACGREGOR publishes a pamphlet precisely adapted to the existing emergency—a pamphlet which cannot fail, if read with due calmness and deliberation, to place even the most ignorant au courant of the late revolutions on the continent, and to explain away those things which may have hitherto appeared to them of a wholly irreconcileable and anomalous character in the development of modern civilization. Our distinguished pamphleteer has concentrated into some sixteen miniature chapters a narrative which spreads over enormous files of old newspapers, over annotations and commentaries, and memoirs and autobiographies, and the lumber of the most garrulous reminiscences, making in all a library, the very catalogue of which is voluminous. Here, therefore, is more than an " Illiad" compressed into a nutshell. And this, we take it, is sufficient reason for our continual reference to the small but solid and philosophic argument of the Ho nourable Representative for Glasgow. If the Communists of Paris and the Red Republi cans of Dublin could find leisure for reading in the midst of their sanguinary and diabolical intrigues, we should certainly conjure them, in the name of every quality that is best and bravest in man, to pon der over the facts recorded in this pamphlet of Mr. MAcauxaog. Those facts would demonstrate the madness of a merely spoliative insurrection—they would show the French anarchists that their favourite doctrine can only lead to their own destruction and execration—they would prove to the Irish rebels that, by abandoning the Moral Force system of their im mortal LIBERATOR, they have not merely rendered their own political annihilation inevitable, but they have, by a series of dastardly and ignominious crimes, caused Ireland to become at once a curse to England and an abomination to Christendom. It were lunacy to imagine for one moment, however, that the ravings of madmen can be in any respect abated by the wholesome diet of a logical disquisition. Our re peated allusions to the pamphlet of Mr. MACGREGOR are consequently made with a direct reference to men other than the rebel bands of Citizen BLANqur, or the raw recruits of the would-be King of Mori- STER. W speak not to the irrational but to the rational —not to traitors but to patriots—not in the hope of converting insurgents to loyalty, but with the inten tion of confirming in all, their just, patriotic, and loyal sentiments, the thoughtful men of this old Saxon England. With such an avowed purpose then we earnestly direct the attention of the English people to the third section of this interesting and re• markable pamphlet—the section respecting the " Effects of the American and First French Revolu tions." Not that the chapter conveys any novel or startling revelations—its statements, in fact, being every one of them patent to the student in European and American history—but because it condenses the long annals of those revolutions into the most compact and portable compass, while the pamphleteer deduces a great truth from the occurrences on either side of the Atlantic. After recounting the colonisation of Vir ginia and Maryland by republican spirits who sought the realization of their visions of political indepen dence beyond the shores of the United Kingdom— after detailing the struggle which ensued between the descendants of these primitive emigrants and the Government of the mother country, that great struggle which ended in the isolation of the United States, and the dismemberment of the colonies of Great Britain—after telling how it came to pass that the French officers who had fought in North America under the victorious banners of GEORGE WASHINGTON, carried with them to France the enthusiasm of repub lican ideas, and " ingrafted revolutionary principles on the philosophy of the Academy"—the Member for Glasgow shows that the visionaries of an Infidel and Democratic Revolution saw only the chance of the restoration of his natural rights to Man in the de struction of Christianity, and in the subversion of the existing systems of monarchy and oligarchy. That terrible blunder is now goading on the rebels of Ireland, as it did recently the insurgents of France. The catastrophe of their heinous guilt be upon their own heads, and the infamy of the whole movement be concentrated on the memories of their depraved demagogues ! THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They are principally occupied with the affairs of Ireland, and with the exception of the litfernte, the organ of LEDRu ROLLIN, they denounce, in no measured terms, that which they justly designate as the Communist and Jacobinal movement, at the head of which Messrs. SMITH O'BRIEN and MEAGHER have Placed themselves. The fact that the neforme is favourable to the Irish rebels would be alone sufficient to stamp their cause as the cause of Communism, and the war which they declare a war not against England only, but against all order, all property, and all civilization. The .Teurhal des Debuts thus accurately describes :he character of the movement : " It is the Young Ireland, or, in other words, the Ja cobin, party that makes the present movement. It is not only a Republican movement, which can no longer be a crime in our eyes, but also a Communist movement. This is what distinguishes it from the old agitation, by the aid of which O'Connell drew from England religious emancipation, and so many other reforms. The war which the Irish clubbists wish to raise is a servile war. It is an insurrection against property, of which the avowed end is the division of the land. That transfor mation of the Irish agitation is what makes it in the present circumstances so grave, and the reason is this— Formerly an insurrection in Ireland could find no echo in England, while now the Jacobin movement in the one corresponds with the Chartist movement in the other, and the shots fired in Dublin, Waterford, or Cork, may set fire to Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford, or Notting ham. The English Government knows this, and it is on that account it is taking the most rapid means possible to cut short the insurrection." 1 The same writer thus calculates the chances of the success of the movement : " We do not believe in the possibility of the success of the insurrection. The forces are not equal. The movement party is much less numerous than many, on account of the noise they make, suppose. It is composed of the Young Ireland party only, which has against it, not only the English party, but almost all the Old Ire land party, namely, that of O'Connell and the clergy. On the one side, then, there is disunion—on the other there is not only union but discipline. There are about 50,000 troops, who can be carried with rapidity to any point; and besides this, the whole of the north is Orangist and Protestant. We, therefore, consider the success of the general movement as impossible; but we think that a series of partial insurrections, which cannot be suppressed without the effusion of blood, is inevitable. This is our opinion, but with so singular a country as Ireland it is difficult to answer for anything." The Univers, the organ of M. DE MON TALEMBERT and the parti pretre, is also exceedingly severe in its denunciation of the Young Irelanders for their departure from the moral.force system so success. fully practised by the late Liberator, O'CONNELL. It was rumoured in the Salle des Conferences, yes terday, that the Committee on Foreign Affairs were all but unanimously of opinion that, in consequence of the advance of the Austrians to Ferrara, the army of the Alps, under the command of General OUDINOT, should immediately enter Italy. Galignani says that, on Saturday morning, Gene ral CAVAIGNAC received the officers of all the corps of the army present at Paris, of the National Guard of Paris and the Banlieue, of the Garde Mobile, together with members of different administrative bodies, the medical officers of the army, and also the Judges of the Courts of Crssation, of Appeal, of the Tribunal of the Seine and members of other judicial bodies. The Gene ral was attired in plain clothes, with no other decoration than the Cross of Commander of the Legion of Honour. The officers of the National Guard filed off before the General according to their respective legions, the colonels of the legions taking the lead. The Bth, Sth, and 12th Legions, having been broken up, were not represented. The model of a portable barricade was exhibited to the officers. It is destined to protect the assailants of barricades from the shots of insurgents, and has a loophole to fire through, which can be closed when the discharge has been made. The model is in iron, and ball-proof. On presenting themselves to General CAVAIGNAC, the chiefs of the different judicial bodies expressed to him, in the name of the magistracy, the gratitude they felt for the services which he has rendered to the country by his courage and energy, and assured him that he will find support in the magistrates in the accomplishment of his high mission. In reply, General CATAIIIINAC said that the country felt confi dent that they would aid the powers of the State to construct the basis of Republican institutions. The OlEssager of Sunday evening says " We are assured that the Prussian Government has offered to accredit a Minister Plenipotentiary at Paris, but on condition that the French Government shall ap point as successor to M. Emmanuel Arago, at Berlin, a representative who shall manifest less sympathy for the German Propagandists, and more anxiety to cultivate friendly relations with the Prussian Government." The following is the decree of the Assembly au. thorising the new loan : " Art. 1. The engagements contracted by the sub scribers to the last loan of 2 50,000,000 francs not having been acquitted in respect of the last instalments due, that loan is declared null and void, so f ar as regar d s the instalments not paid up, and the rentes not delivered. "Art. 2. A credit of 1 3,131,500 francs rentes Five per Cents., the interest running from the 22d of March, 1848, which shall be negotiated at the price of --, shall be opened in the Ministry of Finance. " Art. 3. The price of th e ren t es negot i ate d , as pro vided in the preceding article, shall be paid at the fol lowing periods :—On the 7th August, 1848, 171 per cent.; 20th September, 10 ; 20th October, 71 ; 20th November, 71; 20th Dec em b er, 7 20th January, 1849, 71; 20th February, 71; 20th March, 10; 20th April, 7i; 20th May, 71; 20th June, 5; and 20th July 5 per cent. " Art. 4. On the payment of each of those instalments, with the exception of the first, which is to be considered as a depnint to guarantee the payment of the remainder, the subscribers shall receive a coupon of renter, repro sentim,,,, at the price of the negotiation, the amount paid. The coupon belonging to the first instalment of 17* per cent. shall only be delivered atter the payment of the first instalment. " Art. 5. The certificates of the two first instalments of the loan of 1847 for 250 millions, forming the deposit or guarantee of 7f. 52} centimes per 3f. rente, shall, un til the 17th of August next, be deemed acceptable for the same amount of 7f. 52i centimes, or 51. rente in the pay ment of the first instalment of the new loan. The sur plus shall be paid in specie. After the expiration of that delay the certificates of the former loan shall be consi dered as null and void. " Art. 6. A sinking fund of one one-hundredth of the nominal capital of the renter issued in virtue of the pre sent decree shall be included in the attributions of the sinking fund administration. " Art. 7. The measures to be adopted for the execu tion of the present decree, particularly as respects the holders of certificates of the new loan who shall not hare effected the payment of the instalments as they become due, shall be devised by the Minister of Finance." It is said that the contract for the loan will be taken by Messrs. lIOTZINGUER and ROTHSCHILD. The Committee on the decree presented to the Na tional Assembly, by the Minister of the Interior, for increasing the Garde Mobile to 26 battalions of 800 men each, and for raising three squadrons of cavalry, has resolved that the effective of that force be fixed at 26 battalions of 650 men each, and that no cavalry be raised. The battalion of Gardes Marines is to form the 25th battalion. The 26th battalion formed at Rouen is to be amalgamated with the other battalions. The Committee recommends that the men who were to form the nucleus of the cavalry, and who distin guished themselves fighting against the barricades in the late insurrection, be draughted into the line. The resolution of the Committee, if adopted, will effect a saving of 3,100,000 f. (124,0001.) The Constitutionnel says that the report of a treaty having been concluded between the Government and the directors of the Northern Railroad Company, for the purchase of that road, is at least premature. The only treaty pending between the parties is the settle ment of the accounts between them. In the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday an annual pension of 3,000 f. was voted to the widow of M. DORNES. M. SARRUT having announced that the Committee on the Ajaccio election had decided that M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE was duly elected, the Presi dent (M. ikauuAsT) communicated the following letter to the Assembly : " London, July 8, 1848. " Monsieur le ?resident,—l have just learned that the electors of Corsica have elected me their representative at the National Assembly, notwithstanding the re► signation ,which I had already sent in to your pre decessor. " I am profoundly grateful for this testimony of con fidence, but the reasons which forced me to refuse the place of Representative of the Seine and the Cha rente Inferibre still subsist; they impose on me a - iother sacrifice. " Without renouncing the honour of being one day representative of the people, I think I ought to wait to return to my country, that my presence in France can not in any manner serve as a pretext to the enemies of the Republic. I trust that my disinterestedness will prove the sincerity of my patriotism. I wish, then, that those who accuse me of ambition may be convinced of their error. _ "I have the honour, Monsieur le President, again to express a hope that I may at some future time partici pate in the labours of the Assembly, and to say how sincerely I desire the happiness of the Republic. " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." —(Loud cries of " Tres Lien, tri!s lien," followed the reading of this letter.) The Assembly fixed the price of the loan at 75f. 25c: In the course of the sitting, the President of the Council announced that the negotiations with the Lyons Railway Company were concluded. General OUDINOT leaves Paris this day for Gre noble, to resume the command of the army of the Alps. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, JULY 24.

GREENOCK RAILWAY.—The agreement between the Caledonian and the Greenock Railway Companies hes been so far altered, that the power the Caledonian Com pany had of amalgamating at par within five years is given up, and the Greenock Company is now guaranteed an absolute minimum dividend in all time to come of four per cent. per annum, with one-hall the surplus pro- fits of their own line, which also the proprietors hold as security for the dividends. Mr. Pinney, M.P. for East Somerset, has been prevented attending his Parliamentary duties by an accident which has confined him to his room. THE TOWN.CLERK OF GREENOCK.—Mr. Gray, town-clerk, an account of whose attempted assassination has appeared in the papers, is going on as favourably as might be expected. A mob, partly composed of Chartists, made an at tempt yesterday evening to get up a meeting on Clerk enwell-green, but they w ere very soon dispersed by a small party of police who were called out from the station of the G division. THE NORTHERN STATE FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the 21s' the following portions of the scheme of fundarnenta rights were adopted:— ARTICLE I. " Sec. 1. Every German has the light of citizenship of the German empire. He may exercise in every Ger man land the rights which accrue to him by means of this right.—Carried. " With regard to the right of electing into the Ger man Imperial Assembly the German imperial election law mukes its depositions.—Carried. " Sec. 2. Every citizen of the German empire has the right of making his sojourn or fixing his dwelling in any place in the German imperial territory—of ac quiring landed or house property—of pursuing any han dicraft, trade, profession, or calling that tends to a live lihood—and of acquiring the right of a freeman in this or that town, borough, parish, district, &c. (Gemeinde burger-recht).—Carried. " - The conditions of sojourning and dwelling will be definitively settled by a territorial law : those for the carrying on of a trade, profession, handicraft, &c., by a trade and profession regulation, enacted by the Imperial Government.—Carried : ayes 224, noes 193. " Until the enactment of an imperial law, the settle ment, &c., of every German in every German state, is under the same conditions as those to which the iuhabi tants of that state are subjected.—Carried almost una nimously. " No German state can make a difference between its own members and those of another state, either in burgher rights or in the rights of civil or criminal pro cess, in such a manner as to disparage the last-mentioned members.—Carried almost unanimously. " The whole of the motions contained in section 2 were then carried in a body. " Sec. 3. No other conditions can be attached to re ception into the state-citizenship of a German state than those which relate to the irreproachable character and the sufficiency of means possessed by the applicant for the support of himself and family.—Carried. " Sec. 4. The penalty of loss of citizenship (capitis diminutio) shall not exist. On the day of proclamation of rights, the validity of the capitis dirninutio shall cease. " Supplement.

Liberty of emigration is not limited by the law of the state.—Carried. " Supplementary motion of Radowitz,—Emigration affairs are under the protection, and are the care, of the empire. —Carried. "Emigration forfeits (gabella emigrationis) may not be exacted.—Carried." A motion for the abolition of the passport system was rejected. By an ordinance dated the 16th the Minister of the Empire for the Department of War has notified to the Ministers of War of the different states of Ger many that the ARCHDUKE, Regent of the Empire, has assumed the supreme command of the entire armed force of Germany. He desires the different Ministers of War to assemble on parade on the 6th of August, 1848, all the federal troops of their respec tive garrisons, to inform them that the ARCHDUKE, Regent of the Empire, has taken the supreme com mand of all the federal troops, to read to them his Highness's "appeal to the people," to make them give three vines in token of homage to the REGENT. From that day the federal colours will be worn by the German army. AUSTRIA. The new Ministry has been accepted by the Arch duke JOHN, and is thus gazetted in the Wiener Zei lung of the 28th :—President and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Baron WEssErinnaG ; Interior, Baron DOBLHOFF ; Justice, Dr. BACH; War, Count LATOUR ; Finance, Baron KRAUS ; Financial Secre tary, Baron STIFFL ; Trade, Mr. HORNBORSTEL ; Public Instruction, Baron DOBLHOFI (who has taken that office provisionally); Secretary to the Ministry of Public Instruction, Baron PEUCHTERSLEBEN ; Public Works, Mr. SCHWARZER. The new Ministry publish in the same number of the Wiener Zeitang a document in which they set forth the principles on which they propose to act- They declare themselves in favour of a constitutional democratic monarchy on the basis of the popular will, expressed in a legal and constitutional manner. They are convinced that a Government cannot be strong unless it leans upon the people. They hope for the confidence and support of all friends of legal progress, and this, they say, will enable them to pro tect the rights of the people and the Throne against all attacks. But liberty cannot be strong unless Go vernment too is strong. The Ministers declare that all just wishes and complaints shall be attended to, but they protest that no power on earth shall induce them to act in contradiction to their ideas of justice and right. A letter from Vienna of the 18th, in the Borsenhalle, states that the opening of the Austrian Diet, which wrs to take place on that day, had been put off for a few days. PRUSSIA. The Committee on the Constitution have deter mined that the Houses ere to be convoked yearly by the KING ; in the event of the death of the Sove reign they are to meet ten days at the latest after his demise. From the death of the KING to the swearing to the Constitution by his successor or the Regent, the Ministers are collectively to execute the royal power. The KING will in future be not styled King of PRUSSIA, but KING of the Prussians; and the ex pression " by the Grace of Gon" is to be used no longer. The coins of the reign of FREDERIC 11. bear the inscription " Frederica Borussorum Rex." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter fromAppenrade of the 20th says— " To•day a prolongation of the armistice, for three days' tranquillity (to the 23d), was agreed upon. It is further stated, that there will be another prolongation of the armistice for three days, if nothing positive has been effected by the 23d. "A document has been drawn up and communicated to the members of the Stock Exchange, at Stettin, showing the loss sustained by that town alone, from the war with Denmark. The calculation is nearly as fol lows I—Value of goods on account of Stettin embargoed at Copenhagen, 502,705 r.d.; value of goods i❑ 89 ships detained in neutral ports. 1,273,000 r.d ; value of ships embargoed or detained in neutral ports bulong:ng to Stettin, 919,000 r.d.; freight loss, 81,000 r.d.; total, 2,777,000 r.d.; to which sum must be added loss of inte rest, wages, supply, &c., calculated at 54,000 r.d. per month. A surmise may be formed from this calculation of the immense loss to which Northern Gei.nany is sub jected, and apparently will for some time be subjected, from this most inauspicious war." ITALY. LOMBARDY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 20th announces that the Piedmontese troops arrived at Venice on the 14th, and were received with loud cheers by the people. They were to take possession of the city in the name of CHARLES ALBERT. The first battalion that arrived was one of the regiment Savona : eight more were expected from Ancona. The Venetian papers publish a convention be tween Lieutenant MARSHAL WELDEN and the Pro visional Government of Venice for the exchange of hostages. In consequence of the arrival of Austrian troops at Ferrara, the Prolegate of Bologna, Count BIANCIIETTI, immediately formed a committee of war for the organiastion and mobilization of a military force. The Opinion ,: of Turin states from Casalmag:oto that, on the 13th, a body of I,OOD Austrians attacked 800 Tuscans and Lombardians at about four miles from Riveli. The engagement was obstinate on both sides ; the Duke of GENOA commanded the Italians. The result was not known. Accounts from Rover bella, of the 16th, state that the operations before Mantua and Verona are still in progress, and that the cannon of the Austrians is heard every now and then directed against the works of the besiegers. On the 15th a person cooling from the Venetian territory asserted that he had seen several dead bodies drifted along the Canal Bianco and the Adige. This would be a sign of a battle having been fought near Veronr The blockade of Mantua by the Piedmontese troops is nevrly complete.' Ralph Waldo Emerson, Esq., after a sojourn of eight months in this country, took his departure for America, o❑ Saturday last, from Liverpool, in the now steamer Express. A QUAKER EXPELLED FOR PAYING TITHES.—Mr. Jelico, a Quaker, having, as agent for a number of per sons in Kilkenny and Tipperary, paid the tithe rent charge to the various incumbents on the properties under his control, has been expelled by the society. Mr. Jelico caused application to bn made to the Court of Queen's Bench last week for a mandamus to compel the Society of Friends to restore him to their body. The Court held that it had no jurisdiction. IMPERIAL PARLIA MENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships assembled in their legislative capa city to-(iay shortly after one o'clock, in order that the Royal Assent might be given by Commission to the Bill which the Government have brought in, and carried though both Houses, for the purpose of putting a stop to the proceedings that have lately taken place in Ireland. ROYAL COMMISSION. Shortly after one o'clock, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Minto, and Lord Campbell, robed as Lords Com missioners, entered the House, and took their seats be low the Throne ; the Commons were then summoned to the bar, and the Royal assent was then given in the usual form to THE HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION (IRE LAND) BILL; The London and Blackwall Railway (Connecting Branch) Bill, and The Edinburgh and Northern Railway (Boscobie,lielty head, and (xlencraig Branches) Bill. The Lords Commissioners then bowed to each other and retired, and the House resumed the hearing of ju dicial business. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. WINDSOR IMPROVEMENT BILL. Colonel REID presented a petition from Windsor in favour of this Bill. - Lurd MORPETH stated, in reply to Colonel Salwey, that the Bill was demanded by a majority of the inhabi tants of Windsor, and that it would be of great public advantage. Colonel SALWEY hoped the Noble Lord would not proceed with the Bill in the thin state of the House. An important public path, used from time immemorial, would be closed, and much public inconvenience would result from the passing of the Bill. Lord MORPETH admitted that one of the public paths would be closed, but in lieu of it, a large part of the Home-park, hitherto shut up, would be thrown open to the public. Colonel REID contended that the people of Windsor would be much convenienced by the Bill. Colonel SALWEY went on to state that when the great improvements made during the reign of George the Third were effected, the path in question, which ran directly under the walls of the Castle, and was, there fore, some inconvenience to the Crown, was diverted to its present course. If it were closed,the people would not be able to get to Hatchet so easy a a they did at present. Ile moved that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. MART, rag a great admirer of Shakspere, trusted the Noble Lord would not proceed so hastily with the Bill. As the amendment was not seconded it fell to the ground. The Bill was then read a second time. POOR-LAW UNION CHARGES Nets 2) BILL. Mr. BULLER proceeded to move the second read ing of this Bill. No anxiety for legislation at this late period of the session had induced him, he assured the House, to introduce four Bills at this late period of the session. —(Hear, hear.) With but half-a.year's experience in his office, he should not have introduced these Bills, but he assured the House that nothing but urgent necessity had induced him to do so. An important Act passed last session expired in October, and it would not be well to let it expire without providing for the continuance of its principles, seeing that they had worked well. He meant Mr. Bodkin's Bill for the removal of the poor. In 1846, as the House would remember, an im portant Bill was passed with respect to the removal of the poor ; but it could not be denied that it had led to much shifting of burdens, yet its effect was to equalise better than heretofore the division of the support of the poor. The burdens were not borne in many places with great forbearance. A Committee some time ago was appointed, of which he: was the chairman, and that Committ ee , t h oug h it considered some details might be altered, yet they came to the opinion that it was not expedient to alter the principles of that Bill. They considered that the area of these burdens should be enlarged. The measure before the house embraced the principle of a Bill introduced at the close of ,the last session by Mr. Bodkin, whose absence he regretted. It would con tinue the principle with respect to the immoveable poor, namely, making their support chargeable, not upon the parish, but upon the union, and to continue the laws respecting vagrancy upon the same footing as they now stood. No matter was more difficult to deal with than the question of vagrancy, but at the same time he was prepared to say that great improvements might be made. lie had indited a letter to the different boards of guardians on the subject, instructing them to use a wise discrimination, and to refuse relief where it was not right to give it; and he was prepared to take the whole responsibility upon himself. But there was another im portant matter in connexion with this, namely, the charge of the relief of vagrants upon parishes. He found that the parishes in which the workhouse, or in which the residoace of the relieving-officer were situated, had a great disproportion of the expenses thrown upon them. Many parishes understood the tactics of these things well, and contrived most ingeniously to throw the burdens which they should bear upon their neighbours' shoulders. In South Devon one parish provided a house for the relieving officer which was situated in another ; and the result was that they got rid of much of the burden that would be other wise thrown upon them. He was fully persuaded that the charge for tho maintenance of vagrants should be made upon the union, because at present the overseers of one parish voted against the overseers of another, in order that they might get rid of their respec tive burdens, and continual excitement and ill-teel ing were the natural results. The funds, out of which the expense of carrying these principles into effect would be defrayed, would bo raised by an equal contribution by the proprietors of all the rateable property in the union. In this state of things the questions they had to consider were—first, should there be one equal assessment? or, secondly, the old system of averages? Since the passing of the old Poor-law Act the management of the parishes was placed in the hands of the collective unions. Ile had provided in the Bill for the payment of any debts that remained in respect of the building of workhouses by the collective parishes. The expenses of the clerk of the board of guardians and the medical officers were as much in the pauperised as the unpauperised parish. For instance, even the most inde pendent workman sought medicine and from the parish surgeon, because his means did not enable him to discharge it. The same remark applied to the other officers of the workhouse—the necessity of such persons in the one parish was as necessary as in the other eihifi showed that the entire charge should be made upots,ti#: union. Much intolerable fraud existed, neve sili,9 l oo ..'" deavours to reduce the average. Great: existed owing to the system of clearance Adtepte . in many parishes, many of whom net.e.teßnX , } : v, convenient to support the poor out of thet4 n tes, TM Lae: much easier course of sending them aw heedless their fate. Many parishes, in uf ord r er e 4tVl i tt rages, raised private rates---- r t thye of the entire th e was for these reasons that he wished to p way no doubt great frauds had been per i P a e c t e ra a t i e l d t . It or p t r ue o g p poor out o matters upo t n 'on. After duo consideration and careful inquiry, he an equal proper rl footing, rate u b p y o upon supporting u h n ad i determined upon embodying this principle in the Bill. These principles were—the support of the establishment, the irremoveablo poor, and of va grancy out of an equalized union -rate.--(hear.) The Bill could not be taken into consideration without reference being made to its general principle, that of substituting union for parochial rating. The Honour able Member was hero interrupted by the appearance at the bar of the House of Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, who informed the Speaker that a Commission of the Lords had been appointed by her Majesty to give her Royal Assent to several Bills agreed to by both Houses, and stated that their Lordships requested the immediate attendance of this House in the house of Peers. The Speaker then left the Che;r and proceeded to the House of Lords, followed by several Hon. Member: On his return, he informed the House that the Lords Commissioners had given the Royrl. Assent to severe' B'lls (for which see Lord.' report). (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeals end give sei oral judgments. The Peers present were the Lord Chan cellor, Lord Brougham, Lord CampLill, the Marquis of Westminster, and the Bishop of Hereford. ZABIIER 1. FARIVIEr. Their Lordships gave judgment in this case, affirming the decision of the Court below with costs. THE GREAT NUN CASE.—FULTIAN Y. rdtARTIIY. Their Lordships also gave judgment on this important case, which our readers will recollect was argued before them a short time since upon an a7peal from the decision of the present Lord Chancel.or of Ireland. The original suit was ;nstitated in the Court of Chancery in Ireland, for the purpose of obtaining two distributive shares of one of the appellants, Mal.a M`Carthy, and of a respondent, her sister, Catherine M'Carthy, in the personal estate of their father, de ceased, Alexander M'Carthy, of Cork, merchant. The appellant, Maria, had, with th© approbation of her father, in 1828, become a nun, end professed of the order of St. Ursula, at Black Rock, Cork, when her father paid to that community 1,000/. for her admission and maintenance for life. Next year her sister Catherine adopted th© same course, and nr'd a similar large sum to the convent. The father s pro e-deesheoefivleodo,otohoa/t.

The Catholic superiors of the convent, Cecilia Fulham and Margaret Lynch, advised them to assert their clrim to two entire ("stributivo shores of the 100,000/ in the liish Court of Chancery. This the heir-at-law resisted for the family generrly. The two sisters had executed deeds transier.ing the' shares to the two supeliors of the convent, which there was reason t 9 believe were not made without the pressure and com pulsion of their religious " vow of obedience" tmon taking the veil, and the Lord Chancellor acting on that impression, decreed " That the Court off e, 'Lug to direct an issue at law to try whether the two deeds of assignment in the proceedings mentioned, beating date the 29th day of December, 1843, end the 13th day of Match, 1844, were executed by the plaintiff, Maria M`Carthy, and the respondent, Catherine M`Carthy, as tree agents ; and the counsel at the bar for the appellants declining to t'ike such issue, they having iusistc.l that, without any well The further arguments on this part-beard case were resumed and concluded to-day; and The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that their Lord ships would give judgment on the case on Thursday. BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE BEADING. This bankrupt was the proprietor of the Standard Tavern and Albert Saloon, Shepherd and Shepherdess fields, Islington, and to-day came up to pass his last ex aminatior, which had been adjourned in consequence of the accounts not being prepared on the last occasion. Since the issuing the fiat the business has been carried on under the management of ➢lr. Brading for the benefit of creditors, under an order of the Court of Review, on a petition for that purpose by the trade assignee, who anticipated being able to pay off the mortgages, and ultimately paying a dividend of 20s. in the pound. The bankrupt passed without opposition. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Ann Burns, a woman of the town, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen from the person of Mr. Robert Cornvon, a gentleman residing at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, a gold watch, value 201. The prosecutor said he was now stayino. at Anderton's Hotel, but his real res id ence was at Newcastle-upon- Tyne. About one o'clock this morning the prisoner accosted him in the Haymarket. After some little con versation he consented to treat her to some wine, after drinking which he went with her to a dark place, where they stood some time. She then suddenly called out " Here is somebody com ing" and ran away. He then put his hand to his waistcoat pocket and missed his gold watch ; He pursued her, and accused her of the theft. She said, " Oh, nonsense," and put her hand into his waist coat pocket and said " Here it is." He then found if there. At that time a constable came up and he gays her in charge. Wells, C 1, said he took the prisoner into custody about ten minutes after one this morning. He searched the spot where the prosecutor and the prisoner had been standing, and found the gold ring which had been cut frost the watch. The prisoner, in tears, denied the robbery, and BEicaAm remanded her for a week. MARKET NEWS. --(THIS DAY.)

On Sunday evening an accident, which, we regret to state, has resulted in the loss of four lives, viz., two males and two females, occurred on the river Thames, just above Putney-bridge. It appears that about a quarter to nine o'clock, the unfortunate individuals were observed com ing down the river in a skiff, on the Middlesex side of the stream, and when nearly opposite the Steam-boat Pier, close to Putney-bridge, it being nearly dark and raining fast, the boat struck against' or came athwart the chains by which a barge was moored, and instantly upset, and the whole of the party were immersed in the water, and almost immediately disappeared. The drags were most promptly procured, and every exertion used to find the bodies; but full twenty minutes elapsed before the efforts were successful, and then the bodies of the two men were recovered, and immediately conveyed to the Swan, Fulham, where several surgeons were in atten dance, but life was th e n qu it e ext i nct. Up to last even ing the bodies of the females had not been found. From one of the sculls being broken in the blade, it is thought that that might have led to the accident. JOHN MITCUEL.—Our readers and the people of Ireland generally, will be pleased to hear some authentic information regarding this sterling patriot. The ac counts that have appeared in the newspapers are, upon the whole incorrect. We are prepared to state, upon the authority of a letter received in this city to day from the Catholic chaplain of Bermuda, the Rev. Mr. M'Leod, that Mr. Mitchel is not subjected to the usual convict severity; his health continues pretty good, though his spirits are not the best, and he labours under asthmatic affection, to which he had been naturally much subject at home.

From that decree the appellants appealed, and upon that appeal their Lordships now gave judgment. The Loaf) CHANCELLOR, after going at some length into the case, stated his opinion to their Lordships to be, that the suit in the court below was improperly framed, inasmuch as two co-plaintiffs having inconsistent inte rests, could not join in a suit. He therefore re commended their Lordships to dismiss the bill with costs generally, but without prejudice to any party filing a new bill ; to reverse the decree of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland so far as it offered the direction of au issue, but to retain it so far as it dismissed the bill of the plaintiff with costs. Lord BROUGHAM and Lord CAMPAELL concurred with the Lord Chancellor, and The llousE ordered the decree of the Court below to be reversed so far as it related to the issue, but retained that part which dismissed the bill. The effect of this discussion is to leave all parties in the position they were before the bill was filed, but enable them to com mence their proceedings de novo, in an amended form.
