I fru. r • ,tk) tii.iitn LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1848, ostler and a potboy, that, therefore, the results of that original inquiry were scarcely worthy of considera tion. The hit was by no means so unsuccessful as that made the other evening in the National Assem bly of France, when one of the Republican repre sentatives, an intelligent ouvrier, interpolated the exclamation into an apologetic discourse de livered by M. Louis BLANC, that it was surely unjust to stigmatise the conduct of the Com mission of the Luxembourg, seeing that that Com mission had actually done nothing ! The joke of Mr. STAFFORD about the ostler and the potboy as " mysterious persons" was, when contrasted with this, an exceedingly dry jetke, a joke as unprofit able as an empty filbert, all vegetable leather and shell. Even the most aristocratic could not pre cisely comprehend why an ostler and a potboy were not calculated to be the most important witnesses, from the very circumstance of their calling, in reference to any imputation of election-treati n g . Nor was it incomprehensible to our representatives that a reported conversation outside a tavern door was just the very incident most likely to affect in a visible manner the decision of a Parlia mentary Committee upon questions of elec tioneering corruption. It was because the report of the Committee upon the borough of Horsham was so peculiarly inconclusive that it became necessary for the House to procrastinate the issuing of a new writ. Eith er th e ac cused electors were acquitted, or they were convicted, or their g uilt still remained questionable. If acquitted the case w ould not, could not have c on tinued ten minutes before Parliament. If convicted the constituency would long since have re ceived intimation of its disfranchisement. As every circumstance has tended to demonstrate, the corrup tion of the electors was neither proved nor disproved. Parliament was undecided as to the morality of the constituents ; it therefore delayed the issuing of a new writ. The Prime Minister him self acquiesced in the justice of this determina tion, and the opinion of the Noble Lord was coin cident with that afterwards expressed by the Right lion. Baronet the Member for Tamworth. For this reason, , a reason sufficiently c ogen t, we t a k e i t, th ere was in the first in s t ance a procrastination , coupled with that procrasti na ti on t h ere was the promise of a Bill affecting th e i ntegr i ty of representation by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and ultimatel y private Member Bill of a N Member (Si r JOHN HAMER) a h.been su bstituted for fOrthe Bill announced by the G overnment. In all th ese transact i ons we see no cause w h a t ever for complaint, inasmuch as the Committee, the Par liament and the Ministry have acted from a con sciousness of their several responsibilities. If the constituency of Horsham has reason for complaint, the complaint should certainly be directed against those unprincipled electors who have cast discredit upon the entire borough, and rendered their reten tion of the franchise singularly dubitable. If one truth more than another has been exposed by the various cases of corruption brought under the scrutiny of the Committee of Inquiry into Elections, that truth is most assuredly the necessity of the Ballot. In France the Ballot has been tested under very severe and unparalleled circumstances, and we are bold to say that but for the protective influence of the Ballot, Universal Suffrage would only have proved a most disastrous boon. Guarded by the Ballot, the Re-publican Institutions of France have been inaugurated under favourable auspices. We are now satisfied that the time has come for a successful agitation of the Ballot. The recent extraordinary changes in the political affairs of Europe have given rise to so many incidents of a remarkable and interesting character, from their historical associations, and from their striking evidence of the mutability of human fortunes, that such inci dents have now almost ceased to attract attention. Nevertheless, there was one event which took place last week of too memorable a nature to pass over without comment. A meeting took place in Paris last Friday, which has been almost overlooked in the general interest excited by the meeting of the National Assembly. On Thursday, the 4th instant, the first Parliament of the new French Republic was inaugurated, and that inaugu ration attracted the attention of all Europe, for on the doings of this new Parliament the destinies of France and, indirectly, the destinies of Chri.tendom, in a great measure depend. The meeting of the National Assembly was, however, most propitious, both on account of the high character of its leaders and the moderate spirit evinced by the people they represent. The presiding deity of the great solemnity of Thursday was undoubtedly Hope. On the day following, Friday, the sth of May, another solemnity of a very different nature, possessing a retrospective rather than a prospective interest, took place. On that day, the anniversary of his death, a funeral service is annually celebrated in the Church of the Hotel des Invalides in memory of the Emperor NAPOLEON. This commemoration is of annual recurrence, but on Friday last it possessed a peculiar and extraordinary interest. The members of the family of NAPOLEON, fin- the first time, as sembled around the grave of their illustrious chief— and for the first time the brother and nephews of NAPOLEON were permitted to kneel and weep beside his remains. And those remains now repose not only in France, as he fondly desired thay should-- "au milieu du peuple Francais que j'ai tant aime" They repose not only in France, but in Republican France. The mutability of human fortunes, the in stability of royal dynasties, has long been too mani fest to need the additional corroboration of events like these. Were such evidence required, however, it is here most emphatically afforded. On the sth of May 1821, NAPOLEON expired in his exile at St. Helena— NAPOLEON, whose own career had been an amazing series of vicissitudes—NAPOLEON, who had been a student at college during the monarchy of a Bour bon King, who had made his debut in the army during a reign of terror, who had been General-in- Chief under a Republican Directory, who had been First Consul during the establiAment of a Consular Government, who had been Emperor when the French Republic merged into an empire, who had been Emperor of France, King of Italy, and directly or indirectly arbiter of nearly all the kingdoms of Europe ; who had suddenly found his vast empire a realm— Although we object as strongly as any one to the gratuitous disfranchisement of a constituency simply upon suspicion, we cannot but regard with satisfac tion the decision of the House of Commons last evening, in reference to the issuing of a new writ hat for the borough of Horsham. Not but w we deprecate as strongly as the , Honourable Baronet the Member for the University of Ox ford anything like a partial adjudication in a matter of this character. Writs have been granted, it is true, in succession for Lancaster, Carlisle, Sligo, Lincoln, Aylesbury, and'Harwich, and t a veto has been suddenly put upon the bestowal of a similar in dulgence to Horsham with some apparent degree of prejudice. At the first superficial view of the transaction there is certainly an aspect of undue harsh ness t owa rd s the constituency of Hors , since the corruption of the electors is as yet in a great me asure only conjectural, and the majorty of the cases o f bribery and treating very far indeed from being settaii i pr . oven. Nevertheless we are rejoiced at thearneesYowutio.n of the Commons refus ing the issuing writ for Horsham by a rcajo city of 94 out of a House Our gratification at this result of last night's division 4o. f is in no manner con tradlietory, becaus e it ari'es ou r sense of the dubious probity of the inha to bitants of Horsham, as witness b the previous well as from our solicitude the Honourable success of the Bill introduced th y , Flint l boroughs. Baronet the representative of an Before any concession bye ectoral . kind can be co nscientiously granted to the population of Horsham, from motives of simple justice, th at there la2 L if l o i nly it is essential, of the elect two preliminary proceedings ; first, a further investi gation be into the i mputed corruption and secondly, the rapid passage of Sir John HANmr ' Bill through the Lower House. Until these two as essential preliminaries have been completed, p arl i a went would be acting with an inexcusable lenity in issuing a fresh writ to a constituency whose purity, to say the very least of it, is so a mazin g l y sus p ici ous . It was argued by Mr. STAFFORD with some indi g : nation, that because some of the most c onspicuous wit fietnes examined before the Committee in reference to the treating system praetiud at Flor,hans, were as emotions of sorrow and rejoicing, to do honour to the memory of him whom they had loved. The au spicious circumstance of the reunion were height ened by the fact of three of NAPOLEON'S nephews — the son of JEROME, the son of LUCIEN, and Joacnim MURAT, his sister's son—appearing as members of the National Assembly of France—the two BONA PARTES being Deputies for Corsica. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The position of DE LAMARTINE OR the poll for members of the Executive Committee of Government (fourth instead of first) is the subject of comment in all of them. The Journal des Debals says— " The composition of the committee did not surprise any one. The list which was adopted is that known in the Chamber by the name of the list of conciliation. But hat excited general surprise, on the contrary, was the order in which the names issued from the balloting-urn, M. de Lawartine passing only fourth. It was said in the rooms outside that this sort of unexpected check ought to be attributed to the discontent produced the day before by the support given by that gentl,man to M. ',Am Rollin. Oh, popularity, on how small a matter du) ou depend? Fur us, who look at this matter with the most complete coolness, we believe that M. de La mariine, if he does not feel himself strong enough to bear alone the burden of power, is right in dividing it. We shall not have a good Government, but we shall have the least objectionable one that it is perhaps pos• sible to have at this moment. Even that is much. Be sides, let us wait. We shall see the committee at work, and it would be only fitting for a country which has already had so much revolutionary experience, not to set up idols for itself which it would be necessary to overturn at the end of three days; or bugbears which become dangerous only by the very terror which they inspire." On the other hand, the partisans of LEDRU Ronnug abstained, it is said, from voting for LAMARTINE, and thus he was left with merely his own personal following. The composition of the New Ministry has not yet been decided on. M. Ledru Rollin wishes to have M. Jules Favra as Minister of the Interior, an ap pointment to which the moderate party are opposed. They wish the Ministry of the Interior to be given either to M. Marrast or to M. Recurt. It is said that M. J. Bastide will have the portfolio of Foreign Affairs ; General Duvivier that of 'War ; M. Du clerc, that of Finance ; M. Flocon, that of Marine ; M. Pagnerre, that of Public Works ; while MM. Cremieux, Carnot, and Bethmont will retain their present places. Both the Reforme and the National express them selves as well pleased with the composition of the Executive Committee of Government. The fete of concord remains fixed for the 14th. The towns neighbouring to Paris within a distance of sixty leagues have decided to send a certain number of National Guards to Paris to fraternise with the people and army. Already, on the Boulevards and front of the national edifices, works of decoration and illumination are in progress. The grand estrade is being constructed in the Champ de Mars, as well as the woodwork for letting of the fireworks. It has been decided that the suspension bridge of the Inva lides shall be closed on that day, as, though perfectly firm, it could not safely be entrusted with the great Mass of people that would pass over it on the day of the fete. It was rumoured in Paris yesterday that the Go• vernment had received information of the outbreak of an insurrection in Madrid. The Conslitutionnel states that the magnificent cavalry barracks of Saumur have been burned to the ground. The loss is estimated at one million of francs. The cause of the fire is unknown. The Journal de Rouen of yesterday states that several houses have been consumed by fire in the Canton of Fauville, supposed to have been occasioned by incendiaries. The Presse states that M. TIIIERS is spoken of as the representative of the department of the Seine, in place of M. LAMARTINE. M. TRIERS has made a communication to the electors of that department, informing them that " proud of their suffrages, he would accept the honour of being their representative in the Constituent Assembly." The Constitutionnel states that " the Military Commission appointed by the French Government has recommended that the fortifications of Dunkirk be restored. They were rased in the year 1713, in virtue of the Treaty of Utrecht, and the port filled up. The Convention wished to restore those works, but time failed it ; and it appears that the second Republic is destined to fulfil the wishes of the first." Since the above was in type we have received the Paris evening papers of yesterday. The following is a list of the Ministers appointed by the Executive Committee of the National As sembly : Foreign Affairs War Finance M. Duclerc. Justice Public Instruction Commerce M. Flocon. Public Worship .. M. Bethmont. Public Works .. M. Trelat. Marine Interior.... The Paris journals are otherwise devoid of interest. The appointment of M. BASTIDE is considered as unobjectionable. He was the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs under M. DE LAMAILTINE, and gave satisfaction. There was a report at Paris that LEDRU ROLLIN had tendered his resignation. The National Assembly, which met yesterday, was engaged up to the hour of post in framing and dis cussing standing orders for the regulations of its own proceedings. " Surassing of Ch, Which stretched from that Moscow arl to the emagne southern seas dwindled into one small isle, so insignificant in extent thatfrom exclaim the Emperoron of Elbe could not refrain surveying it, "Eh, men isle est bien petite !" and who, lastly, to complete the chain of marvellous circum stances, had died in exile, subjected to every species of privation —who had died in exile in St. Helena, while Europe was once more subservient to the here ditary rule of Kings, and the theories of Re publicans considered as the vi,ionary dr eams o f madmen.

It is impossible to con jecture what must have been the emotions which thrilled the hearts of the Napoleon family as the solemn service resounded through the chapel in which, for the first time, they knelt together round the grave of their friend and brother. No longer exiles wandering on the face of the world, expa triated from the land of their inheritance, the land with whose chief glories their name is im perishably united, the brothers, and the nephews, and the generals of NAPOLEON assembled, with mingled THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1848. carrying his force, with six companies of Chasseurs and two of Rifles, under General Zobel, retreated in the bet order from Pontone. Field-Marshal Radetzky, who dues not wish, previous to Count Nugent joining him, to ex pose his troops to useless exertions and I.sses, has ordered the brigade, fronted by Pontone, to watch the points of Parona and Pescantina, and has concentrated his whole force before Verona. " According to intelligence received from Field-Mar shal Baron de Welden, dated Trient, Ist instant, we learn that the enemy occupied once more different en trances into the Southern Tyrol. " According to accounts from Field-Marshal Count Nugent, dated Sacile, May 2, that General's vanguard had reached Conegliano, the main body having encamped on that day at Sacile." The Minister of War has published an official statement of the losses of the Austrian army in Italy from the 18th of March to the 27th of April : " Killed —ln the five days' struggle at Milan, and in subsequent e ngagements, six officers, 200 men. " Wounded— Eighteen officers, 351 men. " Missing—lncluding the Italian regiment who joined the insurgents , two officers, 15,935 men." The total loss, consequently, amounts to 16,512 men, to which are to be added 687 horses, and a battery of six field-pieces. The resignation of Count FIQUELMONT was, it appears, caused by the spreac:ing of the news that Count DIETRICHSTEIN had paid a visit to Prince METTERNICH in London. This had caused a great commotion in Vienna. Baron Von PILLERSDORFY, Minister of the Interior, has been called to the Presidency of the Council, and Baron Von LEBZELTERN, Minister of the House, to the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. The Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count HOYOS, Chief Commander of the Civic Guard, has also ten dered his resignation, which has been accepted. Lieutenant-General Von HESS has been appointed to succeed him in the command of the Burgher Guard. bouring Miloslaw forest. Already two regiments of Prussian cavalry were advancing to charge us, when a loud hurrah was heard in their rear. This pro ceeded from Bialoskovski, who, with his lan cers and mounted scythemen, had hastened from Pleschen, and, falling upon the Prussian left flank, their cavalry, thus finding itself cut off, went to the rightabouts, and dashing in amongst its own infantry, bore down everything in its flight. The Polish infantry, which had completely ral lied by this time, again advanced, and, attacking the town on two sides, re-took it, and drove the Prussians before them in great disorder in the direction of Wres nia and Schroda. Had our cavalry been in better con dition, and not drooping with fatigue, we should have taken all the Prussian baggage, and, perhaps, artillery. Much blood has flown. Many brave men have fallen on our side. Only think, General, that with only 3,000 men in all, we fought from eleven A.M. to seven r3l , against from 9,000 to 10,000 men, with twelve guns." The letter then proceeds to say, •` Every district is pre paring for revolt. The whole province will ere long be in flames. A terrible blood bath is preparing. To w hat —to what, I beseech 'if you, can all this lead ? They have driven us to a state of desperation ! Would they have us act like madmen ? Is there no means, no strength, no power, to prevent this ? Do they not foresee the consequences that must result, if we fall, murdered by Prussia, in our exertions for freedom ?" carry out at the commencement of our reign, that man certainly is mistaken, and cannot justly impute such things to us, since we have done no thing but what appeared necessary for the prosperity of our temporary state. With respect to those who in our kingdom have abused our benefits, we shall, in accordance with the example of our Divine Master, pardon them from the bottom of our hearts. We call theca back to better thoughts, and we pray God to turn away from their heads the chastisements which fall on ungrateful men. Besides, the people of Germany canntot reasonably complain of us, becaut.c we were unable to contain the ardour of such of our subjects in the temporp.l order who have applauded what was done in Italy, and who, inflamed with the love of their own nation, united their efforts to those of the other Italian populations. Many other Princes in Europe, whose armies wete more numerous than ours, beheld themselves equally unable to oppose the uprising of their people. In that state of things, we, however, gave no other orders to our troops than to protect the integrity and security of the Pontifical state. However, several persons manifest a desire to behold us, in accord with the other popula tions and Princes of Italy, declare war on Germany; in consequence, we judge it our duty to announc in your Assembly that nothing can be more distant from our thoughts than such a course, which would be alto gether unb, coming our position, as hording on earth the place of him who is the author of peace." The Journal des Debuts confirms the reports that Pope Pius IX. is at present a prisoner in the hands of his subjects, being virtually confined to his palace. Rome has regularly rebelled against him, and the probability is that his Holiness will be deposed as a temporal Prince. In fact, the entire executive authority appears to be exercised by the new Ministry without any control on the part of the PONTIFF. BOURSE.-PARIS, THURSDAY, MAY 11.

The field marshal, t re ngo, made in the afternoon several feints and demons near Pas trations in front for the purpose of preventing ,the enemy from making any further attacks on that da y . On the morning of the 30th, when Lieutenant Field-M ars h a l Voclier had joined the bri g ade of Wohl gemuth and Archduke Sigismund at Pastrengo, and reinforcements from the valley of the Adige were expected, the enemy resumed its attack on Pastrengo with an increased force at eleven. A strong co l u mn of the enemy moved from Cola up the stream of the Adige to turn the right flank of the position at Pastrengo. The Field- Marshal then sent fresh troops from Verona against the enemy's right flank. Lieut. Field-Marshal Vo cher, who had convinced himself of the overpowering force of the enemy before Pastrengo, and between Cola and Lazze, determined, at three in the afternoon, no longer to remain on the right bank of the Adige, and DENMARK. The Cologne Gazette of the 10th of May has the following : BROMBERG, MAY 3, Six O ' CLOCK, P.M.—We have just received fearful intelligence from Wongrowier. All the Polish population are marching to Gnesen, to aid the insurgents. Gnesen cannot possibly hold out against such a force, and the worst is to be appre hended for the poor Germans and Jews.—Cologne Gazette, May 10. RENDSBURG, MAY B.—According to a private letter from Gavenstein, of the 6th inst., the Danes crossed the Straits of Alsen during the morning, under the protection of a heavy fire from their ships. They are now within a distance of two leagues of our troops, which occupy the heights of Dubbel, and amounting to between five and six thousand men, and those of the enemy to about 10,000. An en gagement was expected. General VON WRANGEL has withdrawn his head-quarters to Folding. An order of the day issued by the General declares that after taking possession of Fredericia there should be a cessation of hostilities. A private letter from Copenhagen intimates the expectation of a speedy settlement of affairs. It is inferred that the blockade of the Elbe will not be carried into effect, and that although Prussian ships were condemned on the 6th at Copenhagen, both ships and cargoes will remain untouched till the re establishment of peace. We must observe that none of our other letters speak of the condemnation of the Prussian ships. According to advices from St. Petersburgh, of the 3d of May, the mail steamer Vladimir, shortly before it was about to start from Cronstadt for Stettin, re ceived an order from the Russian Government not to enter upon its voyage. The Senate of Hamburgh has received, through the Swedish Minister, a copy of the declaration made to the Court of Berlin by the Government of Sweden; it is to this effect—that if the hos tilities are not confined to the Duchy of Schleswig, and if the German troops enter any other of the pro vinces of the Danish monarchy, Sweden will feel justified in sending a military force into Denmark to co-operate with the troops of his Danish Majesty in the defence of his territory against such invasion, or the landing within it of a German army. They will act, however, strictly on the defensive ; and, it is added, the Swedish Government will resort to no aggressive measures against German merchant ves sels; they can enter and depart unmolested from all the Swedish and Norwegian ports as before, as long as no act of hostility is committed against these States. It is also announced this afternoon that Russia is about to send. a naval force into the Sound, ostensibly for the protection of her shipping. The statement of some Danish troops having re crossed the strait from Alsen to the mainland is in part confirmed. It was to cover a party of labourers engaged on some works. It led to no conflict, the Germans, by order, not opposing the movement. Three battalions was the utmost force exhibited by the Danes on both sides the strait. It caused, however, a report of the evacuation of the whole island. A suspension of the operations of the force under Gener.Al WRANGEL, at Kulding, is confidently ex pected. (From the Electric Telegraph Company.) HULL, MAY 22. The Transit steamer, Captain Bell, arrived from Hamburgh this morning with a full cargo of wheat, wool, &c., a large number of passengers, 42 head of cattle, and 14,0001. in gold. She passed a heavy frigate and schooner off the Elbe. The parties going from house to house to solicit contributions for a war fleet are believed to have been very successful. The following additional vessels are reported to have been captured by the Danes :—Johanna, CHRIS TOPLE, for La Guayra; Charlotta, for Valparaiso (this ship and cargo are valued at 70,0000 ; and one Bremen barque, mane unknown. The Transit passed the brig Romp and the schooner Roberts, both of Hull, at anchor below Cuxhaven, waiting for the tide to proceed seaward. (From the Borsenhalle.) Mr. J. MAUBS has placed a ship, besides a large sum of money, at the disposal of the German fleet committee. Head-quarters, Ulderup, May 6. The Hanoverian officer in command at Kiel was apprised by estafette, on the 9th inst., that a great movement of troops was taking place at Alsen, apparently with a view to embarkation. A report had arrived from Flensburg that negotiations were in progress, and that a two days' armistice had been agreed to. STOCKHOLM, MAY 4. Although a strong corps of observation is posted at Schonen, the Government is decided on maintaining the strictest neutrality. The KING has published the outline of hi; plan for the reformed constitution of the National Diet. It is strictly representative, and is to con sist of two Chambers—the first to continue for nine years, and to contain 100 Members, of whom a third are to be renewed every three years. The Second Chamber is to be composed of 150 Members, who are to be elected for the entire period of nine years. The brig Zealous, from Glasgow, has been allowed to enter the port of Kiel. The captain of the Danish frigate of Swinemunde is reported to have given until the 11th for all neutral ships to put to sea. CRONSTADT SHIPPING LlST.—Arrived, the Odessa, from Liverpool ; Thames, from Sunderland ; Ca milla, from London; Ekenas, from Newcastle; Fa vourite, from London ; Ann and Mary, from Sun derland; Rob Roy, from Hull. Sailed, the Ranger, for London. RUSSIA. The Constitutionnel states that accounts have been received in Paris that the first division of the Russian fleet quitted Sebastopol on the 20th ult., steering towards the coast of Bessarabia. Many conjectures were formed as to its destination. "It is certain," adds the Constitutionnel, " that for a considerable time past the Cs &x has been en gaged in concentrating considerable forces in the Black Sea, and that extraordinary activity has been observed in the Arsenal of Sebastopol. The Grand Duke CONSTANTIPIE went to inspect the works in person. Those facts merit serious attention. They denote the tendency of Russia to take advantage of every great European commotion to act in the East." ITALY. ROME. From the following extract from the allocution of the POPE in the secret consistory held at Rome on the 29th ult., it will be seen that Pius IX. has no share in the declaration of war to Austria : " Everybody knows, Venerable Brothers, the words which we addressed to you on October 4 of last year, when we reminded princes of the paternal kindness and attentive care which they owe to the people placed under their power, and the people of the fidelity and obedi ence which they Owe to their princes. Afterwards we neglected nothing to impress these same sentiments on all. Would to God that the effect had responded to our paternal exhortations But every one is aware of the public commotions which have taken place both in Italy and in other countries. If any one should wish to pre tend that the path was opened to such events by the acts which our love and kindness prompted us to LOMBARDY. A skirmish has taken place at Rosco, near Verona, between the Austrian and Sardinian outposts, in which the latter had the advantage. The Piedmontese Parliament (Senators and De puties) met in a preparatory sitting on Sunday, the 7th. The Gazette, of Milan, of the 4th, states that— " General Durando had addressed to his soldiers an order of the day recommending discipline and modera tion, and congratulating the Swiss volunteers for having taken up arms for the independence of Italy. " General della Aiarmora has also recommended his soldiers to show the greatest respect to persons and pro perty, under pain of exemplary punishment. " It was reported at Vicensa, on the 29th, that the Archduke John had arrived at Verona." The journals of Turin, speaking of a proclamation of General OUDINOT, which announces to the French army of the Alps his approaching entrance into Italy, are unanimous, while protesting their sympathy for the French nation, in declaring that they desired no foreign intervention in the affairs of Italy. La Con cordia says, " Italy must alone fight against Austria, and the national Italian conquest must be an Italian work." NAPLES AND SICILY. The Alba of Florence announces that disturbances took place at Naples during the night of the 29th ult., to overthrow the Ministry, of whom several members gave in their resignation. The bombardment of Messina had not ceased up to the 25th. It was continued even on Good Friday. According to advices received from Udine of the 3d inst., Count NUGENT had advanced without oppo sition from Sacile to Conegliano. Everywhere the inhabitants came to meet him with white flags. The peasants assert that the inhabitants of Treviso, weary of the extortions committed by the Free Corps and armed insurgents, will surrender without resistance. Palma Nuova and Osopo are blockaded, but still held out; a fire was opened on the former fortress on Sunday, but there are so many officers there who have been compromised in the late proceedings that they will probably defend themselves to the last extremity. It is probable that Count NUGENT will meet with determined resistance before he can reach Treviso. Private letters from Ancona, of the Ist instant, announce :the arrival of several battalions of Nea politan troops in that town, on their march to aid in driving the Austrians out of Italy. It was expected that the entire Neapolitan force would amount to 8,000 men. CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in his court at Westminster today and heard appeal motions, it being the lust day of Easter term. HOLSTEN V. THE LONDON 'AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion to discharge en order made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, granting an injunction re straining the London and North-Western Railway Com pany in the construction of their railway at the point where the line is nearest to the Crown Hotel, Lea miugton, and from approaching nearer to it than was shown by the line of railway delineated in the plan depo sited with the clerk of the peace. The arguments occupid his Lordship the whole morning. Motions of no interest occupied the Master of the Rolls, and the Vice• Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigram the whole day. The Vice-Chancellor of England only sat for a shori time, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Stuart and Mr. Bethell, who were engaged in th 3 Lord Chancel lor's court. The Equity Courts will not sit again till the first day of Trinity term (Friday, ➢iay 26). QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. KING. This was a prosecution for perjury at the instance of a person named Feltham, who it appeared had been nearly two years in prison in consequence. The defendant, Oliver Waterloo King, was engaged in the wine trade, and Feltham and he had had some dealings. The perjury consisted in King swearing that Feltham owed him 461. The case has been tried twice; in each trial the jury found King guilty of the offence imputed to him. Mr. CLARKE prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant, who appeared on the floor to receive its sentence. Mr. PARRY moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had, on the ground of insufficient evidence, and misdirection on the part of the Learnt d Judge who presided at the trial. The Learned Counsel, in a lengthy address, laid great stress upon the fact that the perjury was not sworn to by two witnesses, and con tended that in a case of this nature, after the dictum of Lord Chief Justice Tindal, who held that perjury must be proved by "two living witnesses," the offence could not be held to be proved unless the charge were so substantiated. Lord DENMAN said in all cases they must look at collateral facts. This case had been fully investigated, and the offence had been clearly brought home to the defendant. He did not think that the Learned Counsel had stated any new fact to lead the Court to the opinion that a new trial should be granted. The other Learned Justices concurred in the same . . opinion. The defendant declared that he was as innocent of the offence as any of their Lordships, and that whatever might be the sentence passed upon him, he should be a ruined, characterless man. He had already been made a bankrupt. Affidavits having been read, giving the defendant a good character, Mr. Justice PATTISON pronounced the sentence of the Court—Eight months' imprisonment in the Queen's prison. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERID;_IE.) EAGLE V. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. WATSON applied for a rule calling upon the Eastern Counties Railway Company to show cause why the Sheriff of Suffolk should not be called on to summon a jury to assess the damages sustained by an injury done to a wild-duck decoy, through which an extension of the Eastern Counties line passed. The line passed within thirteen chains of the decoy, and the noise pro duced by the engine and trains running over the line, had had the effect of driving away large quantities of the ducks. Mr. Eagle claimed 6001 as compensation for this injury; but the Company had treated his over tures with silence, and he had therefore been compelled to seek the protection of the Court. Rule nisi. EX PARTE BURNCASTLE. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said in this case Mr. Bovil had moved for a certiorari to bring up an inquisition, , for the purpose of being quashed or traversed. (rile circumstances of the case have already appeared in Thc Sun.) The Learned Judge, after going fully into them, proceeded to observe, that the Court could only grant such an application in cases where the inquisition was detective, or where it contained some material fact, that it was desirable to traverse. Now, in this case there was no defect upon the face of the inquisition, nor was there any material fact to traverse, but the jury had tacked to their verdict an irrelevant observation, which reflected upon the character of Dr. Burncastle, and it was this irrelevant observation which it was wished to have quashed. In the case of ex parte Scratchley, where the jury returned a verdict, that the dece ase d com mitted suicide, while . suffering from the cruel conduct of a Mr. Scratchley, the full Court decided that the jury had no right to cast such a reflection upon Mr. Scratchley, but as t h e wor d s conveying the reflection formed no part of th e ver di ct , the Court refused a certiorari to quash them. This case was precisely similar to that ; and, acting upon the principle it established, he was b ound to refuse the pre sent application. He could not, howe ver , dismiss the rule without expressing his regret th at the' Coroner should so far have exceeded his duty as to consent to take down the statement reflecting upon Dr. Burncastle's character, while he considered that manifest injustice bad be en done to the Doctor by the jury and the Coro ner refusing to hear him in his defence or to receive the evidence which he was prepared to adduce to explain the cause of death. The official Vienna Gazette has the following article : " It was lately rumoured that, notwithstanding the prohibition against taking money out of the country, considerable sums in specie have been forwarded abroad by order of the Rothschild firm. The Govern ment treasurer, who is entrusted by the Ministry of Finance with all parcels of money for the house of Roths child, thinks it his duty to refute this rumour by the following statement:—` The firm of Rothschild has effected tor a number of years every payment the Aus trian Government is obliged to make to the German Confederation Bank, to the bank for the campaign ope rations of Mayence, as also payments to a considerable number of persons possessed of Austrian stock abroad. In ordinary times these payments were made in bills of exchange; but now political events having almost pa ralysed all banking business, they are compelled to pay in cash. ""fhe sending of such sums, always accompanied with the prescribed certificates, may be effected with the less scruple, as according to the fifth paragraph of the Government circular, dated April 2d, 1848, Government reserved to itself a faculty of awarding specie for public necessities, and certificates were even granted to private individuals in cases worthy consideration. The sums forwarded abroad for the above purpose, since the pro. hibition published for the conveyance of specie out of the country, amounted to 648,000 florins up to May 4th. The Government treasurer assures that beyond the sum above specified, no money has been forwarded to the Rothschild firm at F ra nktort-on-the-Maine.' " The students have "printed" a petition to the Minister of the Interior, in which they suggest that the following provisional regulations should be adopted in the election of the first Austrian Par liament :-1. That no property qualification should be required from those who are to elect the Members of the Lower House. 2. That the qualification for the Members of the Upper House should be no t a large landed estate, but merely one that is not altogether insignificant. 3. That the election o the Members of the Upper House should be made by the people. 4. They trust that the Ministry will intercede with his MAJESTY to forego any nomina tion of Members to the Upper House. A committee of the same body yesterday issued a placard, in which they defend themselves from the charge of seeking to excite disturbances, and at the same time urge the working classes to abstain from all turbulent proceedings. The Government has appointed a Commission to visit the different states of the Confederation where open courts of justice and trial by jury are already established, as well as the kingdom of Belgium, with the view of introducing similar improvements into the Austrian States. A special department of the Ministry is to be created for the protection of trade and agriculture. It is announced that the Austrian Parliament will meet in the course of next month. The Suabian Mercury of the 9th inst. announces the arrival of the Duchess of ORLEANS at Eisenach, accompanied by her two sons, a secretary, and two domestics. PRUSSIA AND POSEN. The Poles in Posen are waging a war of exterrn: nation against the Prussians. " The call to arms issued by blieroslawski," says the Cologne Gazette, " has been universally responded to. The towns and villages are deserted by all capable of bearing arms, and left to the care of old men, women, and children. The Poles have no head•quarters, but keep constantly moving. In the last encounter with General Hirschfeld they fought with a disregard of death that was wonderful ; although they were exposed to a raking fire from a battery of four guns loaded with grape, and finally to the terrible carnage of sharpnell shells and grenades charged with 150 bullets, they ad vanced undaunted over heaps of their own slain, and finally broke through the Prussian ranks. No less thon 460 Poles fell i❑ this battle, without counting the wounded." Since the fall of Xionz the Prussians have been beat in every skirmish. The tactics of MlEausLAwsai are peculiar, and puzzle the Prussian leaders, at the azo w dnn h vd o tahtnhec a eee r e wn .ml a nd w ey tae:ddi with w hetting b n yct advance h enoi e fr e nt d shec a ery r g i tysnhcgeys thatt, courage unmrt sends until te. they oe sparks Tt arehhe same time that they strike terror into the soldiery, e close Poleslatter the steel, and singing in chorus the well-known na tional air, "Nock ist Polen Nicht verlorem." They keep step to the air, and on the first volley of the Prussian troops they fall on one knee, and then sud denly rising rush impetuously on the foe. This struggle for the liberty which they had hoped from Germany will be a war of extermination. Thirty-six pieces of heavy artillery and numerous field batteries are on the road, accompanied by grenades and rockets to carry on the slaughter. On the evening of the sth, heavy firing was heard in the neighbourhood of Wimario, well as Fort Wilda, fired guns eleven s o'clock the rappel was at intervals. beaten in the streets of Posen, as it was reported that the scythemen were advancing on the town. The Preussische Staats Anzeiger gives the following particulars of the fighting at Buck : "Captain Boenigk entered Buck at half-past one o'clock A.M., on the 4th inst. His force consisted of one battalion of infantry. He found the place in the posses sion of a civic guard, who assured him of their desire to maintain peace and order. Captain Boenigk quartered his soldiers in thd town, and is said to have been careless in his measures of precaution. He was surprised by the insurgents about four oclock in the morning. The soldiers were partly d i sar med, and some of them mur dered by the citizens, in w hose houses they were quar tered. All the officers were for a short time captives. They were liberated by ten soldiers, most of them Poles, who attacked the insurgents and drovo them back. " Captain Boenigk then succeeded in rallying his men. He drove the insurgents from the town, which he occu pied till eleven o'clock in the morning, when he received information that fresh bands of insurgents were march ing upon Buck. Upon this he evacuated the town and retired to Prinn. Six soldier s were killed, and sixteen wounded. One man's e 3 'es were thrust out by the insurgents in the morning. He died during the night. " An orderly from Buck informed Major Breetz at Griitz of these events, who sent off one company of foot to assist Captain Boenigk. About ten o'clock informa tion was received at Gratz that Buck was occupied by the insurgents, and that the troops were either killed or taken. Major Breetz collected all his available forces and marched upon Buck. Being reinforced on the road by the company that had preceded him, he approached the town, where he did not find that obstinate resistance he had been led to expect. His entrance was chiefly opposed by the priest of the place, who beaded a party of scythemen. He was killed in doing so. The insur gents sacked Buck before they le ft it; the booty was carried off by women who accompanied them. The greater part of the inhabitants of Buck have fled.
