WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 19, )318 Vigorous efforts must be made out of doors to en • courage our legislators to undertake in good earnest the organization of a practical and comprehensive system of sanitary improvement. Otherwise the matter will again fall into abeyance, in consequence of the superior attractions of our correspondence with the different countries of Christendom. Parliament will, we fear, if left to itself, restrict its discussions to the profitless investigation of various problematic questions of foreign polity. The Commons will 1—.1“." -* b- , ...<-• ~m,..,,, ut oca,ule In putting Lord PALNIBUSTON on his mettle, than in supervising the reports of the Sanitary Commissioners. The Lords will relish the curiosity by which the leader of the Protectionist Opposition was, not very many evenings ago, pitted against Lord LANSDOWNR, rather than the examination of defective plans of sewerage, or the comparison of un satisfactory bills of mortality. We can readily com prehend the sentiments out of which this preference is emerging. The peculiarly unsavoury character of the details accumulated by the Health of Towns Association, and other subordinate institutions, is sufficient of itself to raise the gorge of your White kid genus of legislators. Their fastidious app e t ency f or swee tness of every description —sweetness of habit as well as sweetness of imagination—renders the Sanitary Qmistion a topic, in t heir estimation, fit o n ly to be tabooed in the discussions of the representative cham bers at Westminster. Personally-, they would as willingly cart ordure in the purlieus of Belgravia, or dabbl e th e ir fi ng ers in the sinks of Pimlico, as immerse themselves night after night in the sic kenin g statistics of the board recently established in the garde as of Whitehall. 'Ventilation has not to them an aspect so decidedly fascinating as the cantonal • feuds of Switzerland; they would rather discuss the career of the Sonderbund than the necessity of em ploying disinfectants; they would prefer a debate on the Greek loan rather than one devoted to the causes which have immediately led to the spread of infectious diseases ; they would more readily observe the pro gress of liberal opinion in i ltaly than the devastation arising from the want of proper drainage in the Metropolis—the intrigues of METTEamcn than the approach of the Cholera—the engineering labours at Alexandria than the erection of decent tenements at Birkenhead. It is because we can fully appreciate SF WS ij A it . certain • " ...fla nabncy of a proportion of our repre .44, to this fruitless field of inquiry that we are ,„.. ~,, 7 1 04 i ' , perceive a renewed agitation in favour of p4l M ... is "PM THE suN, LONDON, ViTEDNggriAlt the admission of well-digested enactments—enact ments calculated to effect a rapid evidence of sanitary reformation throughout these islands. Fri-quently as we have had occasion to comment upon the literary and oratorical labours of the more conspicuous advocates of sanitary improvement, often as we have particularised the merits of lectures,paul phlets, speeches, journals, magazines, and statistical broadsheets devoted to this great qu estion of popular advancement—we do not reme mber a publication m b e o riet observed, bse peculiarly rved, en r t e i s t u l el resulting e t; o f u r e r m a p a p l a o u o s (as m e bio a a ti o w n o r k, of f very considerable industry , re exp eri ence sa gacity) than the volum e published an and upontl " The Regulation of Bu ildin g s in Towns," and recently written by Mr. HOMING.* The arguments con tained in this volume would alone be sufficient to demonstrate the exigency of a speedy movement on the part of the Legislature, and to arouse, not only the Chief Commissioner of her Majesty's , Woods and Forests, but the other members of the Adminis tration and the Parliament to an activity such as they have not hitherto evinced. Lord NORMANDY" has spoken admirably to the point, both in the Upper House and elsewhere, in behalf of the inhabitants of the more squalid quarters of-our populous cities ; Lord LINCOLN has acted effectively, to a certain extent, in the same direction ; Lord MORYETH, in like manner, has not been wholly lethargic. Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH has entitled himself to the lasting gratitude of his countrymen by the unob trusive energy with which he has devoted his genius to the good cause, and promulgated wholesome truths to the populace through his many intelligent and admirable writings. Under his auspices the Health of Towns Association has continued to work as energetically as the Anti- Corn law League worked for the abolition of commercial monopoly. In correspondence with this society a kindred institution has commenced its exertions in the metropolis, under the title of " The Health of London Association ;" and the efforts of both these societies have been nobly consummated by the organization of a Sanitary Commission in Gwydyr House. Of a kindred, disposition have been the monthly organs, The Health of Towns Magazine, and The Journal of Public Health. Both these periodicals have endea voured to correspond with the press, and to concen trate in a distinct publication the anxieties incidentally expressed by the public journalists. With these labourers for the people Mr. HOMING has now asso ciated himself by his very laudable and sagacious production —a production which proves, with un answerable precision, the necessity existing for the better regulation, the systematic and assiduous regu lation, of the different buildings erected in the towns of the United Kingdom. The very divisions of his volume testify, in an obvious manner, the practicable character of his suggestions : REGULATION OF BUILDINGS. RELATIVE POSITION OF BUILDINGS. SAFE STRUCTURE OF BUILDINGS. DRAINAGE OF BUILDINGS. VENTILATION OF BUILDINGS. From the closing sentences of his " Introduction" we may glean an accurate definition of the entire work :—" Education," says the author, " leads the man to impose upon himself restraints more severe than those to which, as a child, he was compelled to submit; and the practice which is herein indicated or otherwise set forth as proper to be adopted, and as a rule to be imposed, is no other than [such as ?] a community rightly taught would impose upon itself." A volume of this character is precisely what is best calculated to forward the cause propounded by the first sanitary advocates. It is by the appearance of such publications, that public opinion is developed to snch a degree of pressure as must ultimately compel the Legislature to act as well as to deliberate, and to secure the health by ensuring the cleanliness of the population. Our readers doubtless remember the case of Mrs. SHUTTLEWORTU, who was incarcerated in a lunatic asylum, at the request of a clergyman, on the certi ficates of " two skilful persons," who was subse quently brought up by habeas before the Court of Queen's Bench, and remanded' back to the custody of the keeper of the asylum (notwithstanding an in formality in one of the medical certificates), because Lord DENMAN held that the opinion of " two skilful persons," that one of the QUEEN'S subjects was insane was quite sufficient to authorise the incarceration of such alleged lunatic without the " skilful persons" setting forth in their certificates the facts on which they grounded their opinions, albeit the Act of Parliament declares that they are bound so to do. This unfortunate lady was, therefore, as we hare before said, remanded back to her place of confinement, where she died about a week since. It might hare been imagined that here would have been an end. Not so, however. The abominable lunacy laws do not release their hold even of a corpse; and the application of Miss RHODES, the sister of Mrs. SHUTTLEWORTH, to have the remains of the deceased delivered up to her for interment, was refused. Hereupon Miss RHODES applied to the " Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society," and the secretary, Mr. PERCIVAL, lost no time in addressing a letter (from which the following is an extract) to the metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy : " Parthenon Club, Jan. 12, 1848. " My Lords and Gentlemen,—On my return home yesterday evening, I was informed that Miss Rhodes had been to my house to inform me that her sister, Mrs. Shuttleworth, was no more, and to request me to interfere in her behalf that she might be allowed to bury her sister. " I hope that the enormities of the system which you have been superintending so many years, and in which you are so slow to introduce any adequate and effectual reform, will not be allowed to extend beyond the lives of the unfortunate persons who are subjected to them, and that Miss Rhodes and the other relations of Mrs. Shuttle worth may have the consolation of discharging the last duties of affection and respect to her remains without any interruption from other par ties." In reply to this application Mr. PERCIVAL received the next day the following reply : _ " Office of Commissioners of Lunacy, 19, New-street, Spring-gardens. Jan. 13, 1848. Sir,—Your letter, this day received, relative to the death of Mrs. Shuttleworth, and conveying the request of her sister, Miss Rhodes, to be allowed to bury her, has been laid before the Commissioners in Lunacy, by whom I am directed to say that they have no jurisdiction or authority to interfere in the matter.—l ani, Sir, your obedient servant, "R. W. S. LUTWIDGE, Sec. " J. Percival, Esq., Campden Cottage." From the statement of Miss RHODES it appears that Mrs. SunTTLEwoieru died on the 6th of January, and that she had received no information of her de cease until the 11th of January; that on being informed of the fact she proceeded to the undertaker's, into whose care the body had been delivered, to demand that it should be given up to her for interment, which was refused, in obedience to orders said to have been received from the Rev. Mr. ROWLETT and Dr. PARKIN (the gentlemen through whose instrumentality we believe Mrs. SHUTT LEWORTH WAS originally confined, and to whom, therefore, in all probability her body was delivered up by Dr. MHAINGEN). It would appear that the undertaker must have misunderstood his orders, as Mr. RowLETT and Dr. PARKIN, when applied to by Miss Rnonas, both seem to have assented to her request, and Mr. ROWLETT indig nantly denied that he had given any such orders. In the observations which we feel called upon to make on the very d e f ec ti ve s t a t e o f th e l aw , we b eg beto tlhe iasa s c distinctlyimputation case. e . ofp in on a r. the of we a not GE intendingp parties ti e s concerned repeat to what il cast a the we have before said, that we know him to be a skil ful, humane, and most honourable man, and we have no doubt but that his treatme n t of Mrs.i LTTLE WORTH was judicious, and that she was as comfort able and as well cared for in the asylum of Dr. MILLINGEN as she could have been in any other asylum in the kingdom. Mr. ROWLETT, it appears, behaved as well as man could behave when he was informed by Miss RHODES of the refusal of the undertaker to deliver up to her the corpse of her sister, and Dr. PARKIN did not finally withhold his consent. But the question naturally arises, why was Miss RHODES forced to apply to these gentlemen (who d o no t a pp ea r to have been relatives of the * "A Guide to the Proper Regulation of Building In Town heahh , , a 3 a means of promoting and securing the het!'lt.h ' Comfort, and safety of the Inhabitants." B y `Viffam lloaking, architect, civil engineer, &C. PP.) 2 93. London; John Murray. 1848. deceased) for permission to see and to inter her sister's body? Why were not the relatives of Mrs. SIIUT TLEWORTH informed of her illness ; or, at all events, of her death ? How comes it that the Commissioners of Lunacy have no power in such cases? There is a great defect in the law here, a defect which opens the door to the perpetration of the most horrible enormities. Suppose a keeper by brutal violence deprives a lunatic patient of life ; as the law now stands, he may escape with im punity. The body is sent to an undertaker to be buried—no notice is given to the relatives, and before they are aware that their lunatic relative is dead, the body may have become so decomposed as to render it impossible to ascertain the cause of death. There have been cases of conspiracies to murder—there may be such again, and in the event of a keeper of an asylum conspiring with the incarcerating relative of an alleged lunatic to remove the only obstruction be tween that relative and a large inheritance, the present state of the law is such as to secure to them an almost certain impunity. The remedy for all these dangers is a very simple one. Apply to lunatic asylums the same rule that is applied to gaols, and have a coroner's inquest held on the body of every person who dies in confinement at a lunatic asylum, at the same time giving notice to all persons known to be near relations of the deceased who reside in the United Kingdom of the day on which such in quest is to be held, in order that they may be present l if they should think fit. _ A letter from Naples dated January Bth says— " The news of the entrance of the Austrians into Modena has produced the most lively sensation. The two English frigates are still in the bay, and, having delivered the dispatches which they brought for the British Minister, they seem to remain stationary as waiting in expectation of events. The King continues to preside daily at councils. The state of the kingdom, the deficit in the finances, the necessity of changing superannuated political forms become no longer prac ticable, were discussed with great animation at the sittings on the 3d and sth, but, as usual, no resolution was come to. M. Fortunate, Minister of Finances, has formally declared that the deficit already amounts to 2,500,000 ducats, notwithstanding the suspension of the annual drawing for the extinction of the public debt. This Minister has proposed a reduction of the army, and a part of the numbers of the law courts as means of restoring a balance between the receipts and expenditure. The King, however, is said to have replied to the proposal for reducing the effective strength of the army, that instead of doing so he was firmly resolved to increase it by three regiments. The Duke de Sierra Capriola still resists; but it is generally believed that the King, in order to induce him to go into Sicily, will grant him certain discre tionary powers for setting at liberty prisoners detained upon suspicion, or absolved by justice, but who are still kept in custody, and to grant within certain districts a species of civic guard. A letter, received from Italy announces that a san guinary collision had taken place at Pavia, between the students and the Austrians. A number of persons were wounded, and an Austrian killed. Subsequent to that affair the celebrated University of Pavia was provisionally closed, and most of the students had left the town. According to the same letter, the police of Milan sent 150 men of infantry and cavalry to surround the house of the Jockey Club, at two o'clock in the morning, and to summon the members present to retire. The establishment was afterwards closed. The grand theatre was entirely abandoned. It was said that a still more vigorous demonstration than that of the 3d would shortly be made. The young men belonging to the Lombardo-Venetian Noble Guard, instituted in 1838, at the coronation of the EMPEROR at Milan, had all tendered their resig nation. Magistrates, and even the Fiscal, loudly re proved the police and the Government. Other letters from Milan, of the 11th instant, mention that six or seven persons had been killed in the collision at Pavia, and upwards of 30 wounded. Our accounts from Turin of the 14th instant state, that on that day a grand funeral service was cele brated in the church of La Gran-Madre-de-Dio, in commemoration of the patriots murdered at Milan and Pavia by the Austrians. The most respectable inhabitants of the city, all dressed in deep mourning, assisted at the ceremony. On the same day the He reditary Prince of PARMA left Turin for Parma. Pontremoli, was surrendered to Ihe Duke of PARMA. on the Bth. The Commissioner, sent to take posses sion of the town in his name, had published a procla mation, informing the inhabitants that the Tuscan laws should provisionally continue in force, and confirming the public functionaries in their offices. The Patria of the 10th mentions that Parma would most probably enter the Customs union. The Arch ducess MARIA. LOUISA had appointed Prince LEO.. FOLD, eldest son of the Archduke RBNIER, her uni versal legatee. The_ official Gazette of Turin, of the 13th instant, publiihes a proclamation of the Marquis DE LA FLA.. NARGIA, Governor of Genoa, in which, after energe tically condemning, in the name of King CHARLES ALBERT, the disturbances which took place at Genoa on the 3d and 4th instant, he declared that the Government was determined to repress with vigour all similar demonstrations. The same journal an nounct s that the King of NAPLES had abolished certain duties on wood and oil. According to the Italia, Pisa journal, of the Bth instant, a number of Piedmontese Bishops had pro tested against certain reforms accomplished by King CHARLES ALBERT. Letters from Rome of the 10th inst. announce that the Pontifical Cabinet was composed as follows : Cardinal Ferretti, President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs. Monsignor Amici, Minister of the Interior. Cardinal Mezzofanti, of Public Instruction. Monsignor Roberti, of Justice. Monsignor Morichini, of Finance. Cardinal Riario, of Commerce, Agriculture, and Fine Arts. Cardinal Ma, , simo, of Public Works. Monsignor Ruscoin, of War. Monsignor Savelli, of Police. The Consulta of State had voted, by a majority of 20 to 4, a loan of a million of scudi. At the sitting of the Swiss Diet on the 14th, the report of the Commission appointed on the note of the Papal Nuncio was taken into consideration. The Commission proposed that no answer should he re turned to the note, although it would be easy to de monstrate that all the accusations contained in it were without foundation ; that no such sacrileges as those alluded to in it had been committed ; that those who had been guilty of disorders had been prosecuted ; that the Nuncio and clergy had excited the fanaticism of the inhabitants of the canton of the Sonderbund against the Federation ; and that the Nuncio had blessed the colours of the rebels of Lucerne; but, inasmuch as the Nuncio stated that he spoke in the name of the PorE, not as a temporal prince but as an ecclesiastical chief, the Diet could not treat with him on matters purely ecclesiastical. The proposition was agreed to after some discussion, in the course of which the Deputies from the different cantons gave an emphatic denial to the accusations which have been so perseveringly, yet so falsely, brought by the Jesuits and their sup porters against the federal troops. A letter from Sion (Valais), of the 11th, says : " Yesterday the Grand Council terminated the new constitution, which is to be submitted to the people on Sunday, the 16th. To-day, it was decided unanimously that all the property of the clergy and of all the religious orders should be secularized. The provisional Council of State, which has been augmented by two members, is to continue its functions until the 20th. You are aware that the hospice of St. Bernard has been abandoned by the monks ; they have with drawn to a villa, which they had built in Piedmont four years back, in anticipation of the events which have since taken taken place. Their flight, notwith standing all the calumnies which have been circulated on the subject, was purely voluntary ; the provisional Government of the Valais did not by any means expel them, and they are perfectly free to return. They have not either been despoiled of their property, but merely condemned to a fine—a measure common to them with all the favourers of the revolt against the Diet. The fine, besides, imposed on this convent, one of the richest in Switzerland, does not amount to more than some dozens of thousand francs, and will be covered, and even more this year by the offerings of travellers visiting the hospice, and by the gifts of the mouiitain. inhabit an ts ; for it is well known that the hospitality, which is to all appearance exercised gra tuitously by the monks, in reality brings them in a very considerable revenue." The .Nouvelliste Vaudois says :—" We have only just learned that an envoy extraordinary of M. GUIZOT, the Count PASTRELLA, Or DE FINISTREL, for he takes both names, arrived on the 24th of No vember at Siou with dispatches from the French Mi nistry ; he then went to Brigue, where he got the representatives of the Sonderbund who were at Brigue at the time to sign a demand for intervention. He brought to Sion a letter from SIEGWART MULLER, addressed to the Council of State of the Valais, by which the chiefs of the Sonderbund applied for au thority to establish their head-quarters in the ter ritory of the Valais, and promised that if the canton could hold out four or five days there should be an armed intervention in favour of the Sonderbund. The Council of State rejected these overtures, in order that it might not expose the canton to the chance of a ruinous war." Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The Gaceta publishes two royal decrees, appointing General Joss FuLcosio Captain-General of New Castile, and General ROMAN BARRENECHEA Governor of Madrid, and Deputy-Commander of the province. . The Committee on the Salamanca impeachment is composed of seven members, namely, M. FERNANDEZ, S. ROMAN, M. SEIJAS, M. ARTECA, M. VAHEY, M. ESTEBAN COLLANTES, the Marquis DE BEDMAR, and M. ZARAGOZA. Of these only two can be considered favourable to the accusation—M. SEIJAS, who was one of those who signed the report on which the re cent debate took place, and M. ARTECA, who voted for the charges to be taken into consideration. All the others voted against the matter being taken up. Thus, then, the Government has succeeded in effecting the object which was ascribed to it—that of getting a Committee favourable to SALAMANCA, so that the accusation may be allowed to drop, whereby it is be lieved that awkward disclosures and great scandal may be prevented. General ESPARTERO is confined to his bed by influenza. General PAVIA', has announced the complete pacification of Catalonia. A letter of the 3th from Malaga states that the expedition from that port to plant the standard of Castile, in the name of ISABELLA 11., on the Zaffarine Islands, at the mouth of the Moulaya, sailed the preceding evening, under the command of General SERRANO. It is composed of the steamers Vaitlano and Piles, towing the brigs of war Isabella 11. and La Fleche, with four transports carrying two companies of the regiment of Africa, some artillery men, and a supply of ammunition and provisions. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 12.—The Three per Cents. were done at 261 for cash, and 261, at fifty days; the Five per Cents., at 13 13-16 for cash, and 16 at fifty days; the Debt without Interest, at 5 for paper; and the Coupons, at 11 for cash. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The debate on the Address was brought to a close on Monday. The discussion on the ninth paragraph brought the affairs of Algiers before the Chambers, and M. DE Boissr took the oppor tunity of expressing in the Chamber of Peers his sense of the impolicy of the appointment of the Due D'AUMALE to the Governor- Generalship of the colony, and particularised the Convention entered into by the young Governor with ABD-AL-KADER as a proof of the impropriety of the appointment. After discussing at great length the merits of the Conven tion entered into with ABD-EL-KADER, M. DE Boissv thus concluded—" It is a cause of deep regret to be forced to disavow the Duc D'AUMALB. If a Marshal of France only were concerned, the Govern ment would not hesitate. It remains then to be seen whether the interests of France will prevail over the consideration due to the word of the son of a king. I call therefore on the Minister to explain himself clearly, and in conclusion will observe that if the convention is rati fied, the interests of France will be seriously compromised ; if it is not ratified, the word of the son of a king will be compromised." This brought up M. GUIZOT, who, after:defending the appointment of the Duc D' AIIMALE to the Governor : Generalship, proceeded to allude to the convention, and thus proceeded :—" We have not considered, we never could have considered, that it was in the power of any General, of any General-in-Chief, even of a Prince, to enter into political engagements which should bind the Government of the KING, without examina tion and without the possibility of escape." After paying a compliment to the Duc DB NEMOURS, who was present, and stating that the Duc D'AumALa had accepted the Governor-Generalship merely as any other General would have accepted it M. GuizoT thus proceeded :—" With regard to the question now under discussion, his MAJESTY'S Government reserves to itself, and intends to reserve to itself the most perfect liberty of examina tion and of decision. The Hon. Member asks what the Government has decided, what the Government will do. In answering that question, he must excuse me from entering into details. There are two great interests to reconcile here first the interest of the State—and at the same time great and honourable account must be taken of words uttered and of pro mises made—made according to the measure and within the limits its which they can be performed. I entertain the greatest confidence that the KING'S Government will be able to reconcile these two in terests. I have great confidence in the possibility of finding means faithfully to perform the promises which have been made, and of obtaining a the same time everything that is necessary for the security of France in Africa: The Hon. Member and the Chamber may rest assured that neither of these duties will be neglected ; and I repeat, after an attentive consideration of the question, of its difficulties, and of the means of resolving them, I feel assured that we cannot fail to arrive at such a solution." The Constitutionnel, in speaking of this declaration of M. GUIZOT, says, it has no sense whatever, unless it means that the promises made to the Emir will be broken, " observing, at the same time, the forms of courtesy towards the makers of those promises." A passage from the Journal des Debats will, perhaps, furnish the key to M. GUIZOT'S mean ing, and explain the reason of the close imprison ment of AI3D-EL-KADEIt (a direct violation of the convention of Sidi Brahim) in the fortress of La malgue. It is intended to coerce the ex-Emir into consenting to an abrogation of the convention, a mode of proceeding even more dishonourable than would have been the bold disavowal of it. The Journal des Debats says, " The Ministry may tear up the capitulation, and disavow the Generals, if - the saftly of the country requires it. But it will have better served the fair fame of France if it can reconcile her interest with her honour, and the care of her defence with the respect due to her solemn observance of an oath; in a word, if it is skilful as well as firm, if it can untie a knot which it might have cut. Such is our hope. The noble words of M. GUIZOT, the prudent conduct of the Government,. the news recently received from Toulon, all inspire us with confidence that this hope will not be deceived. ABD-EL - KADER, what ever may be the ambition which he entertains in secret, will prefer being the guest of France to being her prisoner." Whether or not this notable scheme for pre-. serving appearances will succeed it is impos sible to tell. One thing, however, is certain, that the pledged word of the Duke D'AUMALZ has been already broken by the imprisonment of ADD-SL-KADER in Fort Lamalgue, and his forced separation from his friends, and that the ex-Emir will not be bound either by law, justice or morality, to observe any conditions, nor to perform any promises extorted from him while under duress ; all promises made under such circumstances are ipso facto void. Al Toulon journal says—" When M.'', ROUSSBAU, the interpreter, communicated to ADD-RL-KADER the order for his removal to fort Lamalgue, he invited the ex-Emir to indicate the persons of his suite, in addition to the members of his family, whom he wished to accompany him. ADD-EL-KAMM replied—'They are all my family—there is not one from whom it would not be cruel for me to separate, and, having no preference, I have no choice to make.' All the prisoners wished to follow their chief, but KADOUR and KARA MUSTAPHA, the brother-in-law of ABD EL.KADER, were the only persons in addition to his wives and blood relations, and his servants, who obtained permission. KARA MUSTAPISA, who was the executor and perhaps the only author of the massacre of the French prisoners at the deira of AIID-EL-KADER, is a man of most ferocious appear ance. His countenance is as ferocious as that of ABD EL-KADER is benevolent and mild. The Journal de l'lndre says—" For some days past it has been reported that in the event of ABD-Zle EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1841, KADER'S being detained in France, he will not be placed at Bourges, as was at first talked of, but at Villedieu, in our department. The château of M. MASSON will, it is said, be taken for this purpose by the State, and prepared for the reception of the ex-E mir." The Chamber of Deputies met on Monday for a short time, and the Address as drawn up by the Committee was read. The reform banquets are stig matised in the same words as in the Speech. This paragraph gave rise to a warm discussion in the Com mittee, the particulars of which are thus given in the Presse " When the paragraph referring to the reform banquets came under discussion, three of the Members, Messrs. Plougoulm, d'Angeville, and Cousture, find ing that the reporter (M. Vitet) had drily repeated the expressions of the King's Speech, blind and hostile passions,' thought proper to remonstrate against the dangerous tenor of the paragraph. The Hon. Members suggested the propriety of drawing it up in a less offensive form, and of establishing a formal distinction between the real wishes of the nation and the exaggerations of certain blind and hostile passions.' After a long and somewhat stormy discussion, Messrs. Plougoulm, d'Angeville, and Cousture, resolved to withdrnw their proposition, but almost immediately afterwards they, to the great astonishment of their colleagues, submitted an addi tional paragraph, in which they expressed a hope in favour of a desirable change in the present state of public morality.' The result of this second proposi tion was as unsuccessful as the former ; it was re jected by a majority of 6to 3. We have been as sured that Messrs. Plougoulm aid d'Angeville have announced to the Committee their intention to move from the tribune an additional paragraph on public morality during the discussion on the Address. M. Cousture abstained from concurring in that declara tion. Should Messrs. Plougoulm and d'Angeville persevere to the last in their courageous resolution, it is more than probable that the Ministry will hasten to make some slight concessions on that point, in order to avoid a discussion which would derive a fear ful importance from recent circumstances. "The Committee has introduced into the Address a paragraph on Italy to the same effect as that of the Chamber of Peers, and another on Poland, copied from one of the former addresses of the Chamber." The Journal des Debats announces that the Govern ment will immediately bring in a Bill absolutely prohibiting any agreement being entered into by public functionaries for the resignation of their offices. The KING is recovering. His MAJESTY attended mass on Monday. The grand Reform banquet of the electors of the 12th arrondissement, fixed for the 19th instant (this day), has been prohibited by the Prefect of the Police, but inasmuch as the banquet is to take place in a private house, the electors contend that the Prefect has no authority to interfere, and they intend to assemble together notwithstanding his prohibition. The National publishes a long, but admirably written, letter, by JOSEPH MAZZINI, in reply to the atrocious calumnies uttered by M. GUIZOT, and com mented on by the Count DE MONTALEMBERT and the Journal des Debats, against the principles and the conduct of the Italian patriots. The Constitutionne/, in commenting on the speech of the Count DE MONTALEMBERT on the subject of Swit zerland, says—" The facts of the case furnish a sufficient reply to the virulent accusations which Jesuitism conquered and a Ministry embarrassed to justsfy its policy have not ceased to direct against Switzerland. On reading the report of the proceedings of the Diet on the 14th inst., it is evident that the intelligence on which M. DE MONTALBMBERT founded his discourse was for the most part false, and that the assertions of M. GUIZOT are not better founded than were those of. M. DE MONTALEMBERT. The accusations brought against Switzerland are vague, and specify nothing ; the facts, on the contrary, are precise, and prove that everywhere throughout the seven cantons the clergy have excited the people to revolt ; that the Papal Nuncio—the same nuncio who now comes to protest against the results of that war—had the misfortune to be one of the instigators of it, and blessed the colours of the Sonderbund at Lucerne ; that if some excesses have been committed, the guilty have been already punished, or are at present under prosecution ; and that the fines imposed on the rebellious cantons were absolutely necessary to make good the deficit occasioned by the plunder of the public Treasury by the Sonderbund authorities, and to defray the expenses of the war." The fall in the funds which took place in Paris on Monday continued that night until the Three per Cents. fell to 73f. The cause of the panic was the reported death of the KING, which being disproved, they closed at 73f. 40c.

Boulogne and Amiens, 133x—Northern of France, 10% ex int.—West Flanders, 1%. THE PARIS BOURSE PANIC. (From the Times' Correspondent.) PARIS, JAN. 17, 1848. It would seem that we have not seen the worst on the Bourse. The Bears will have a fall at any price. They succeeded yesterday in bringing down the Three per Cents. from 74f. 15c. to 73f. 70c. on the Bourse, and subsequently to 73c. in the Passage de l'Opera. The chief cause of the panic I stated in my letter of this morning, namely, an unfounded rumour of the King's death. A person, who was present in the chapel of the palace yesterday morn ing, at the celebration of mass offered in thanksgiv ing for the King's progress to recovery, assures me that his Majesty looked in good health and spirits. He wished, on leaving the chapel, to descend to the garden, but was dissuaded lest he should again take cold. The Queen of the Belgians left for Brussels immediately after mass—that is to say, at nine o'clock in the morning. Although culpable reports respecting the King's health may not be available any more for the Bears, there appears an abundance of matter on which they will not fail to act in aid of their " speculation for the fall." One of these is the refusal of the police to allow the Reformers of the 12th arrondissement of Paris to dine together to morrow, while up to the present the resolve of the Reformers to hold their banquet nevertheless. Another is the certainty that the threatened attack upon M. Guizot, for allowing the sale of a place in the Finance Department to a person name Petit, will be made in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday by M. Odillon Barrot. A third is the equally certain fact that the forthcoming discussion of the Address in the same Chamber will be a conflict of life or death for Ministers. That they will, after all, have a majority is more than probable, but the effects of the struggle are looked to by their friends with alarm. Other doniestic circumstances, unconnected with politics, have also contributed, and continue to con tribute, to the depression of the money market of Paris—namely, the immense weight of the New Loan ; unlucky speculations " for the rise," and the consequent failure of very many persons who ven tured largely ; besides the vast amount of capital re quired to meet the calls of several railroad companies : all these several causes have produced, and may yet produce further disastrous effects upon the Bourse. Although the market looked to-day as if likely to recover, you will find that the Three per Cents. fell a moment afterwards to 72f. 80c. This was, however; ascribable in a great measure to the report that, in addition to the large defaulter announced and (in the language of the Bourse) " executed" yesterday, others might be expected. This recapitulation of the causes of the agitated and desponding state of this market is not, however, complete, for foreign political considerations further enhance the prevailing gloom. The yet unsettled situation of Switzerland—the actual state of Italy, which you require not to be told is lamentable and alarming--press heavily on the public mind. Revo lution or insurrection on a grand scale are not, it is true, to be yet feared, but all the people of that peninsula above the very lowest class are in a fever of excitement. Thus predisposed, emeutes, or local insurrections, whether urged by foreign or native emissaries, are probable at any moment. In the facts which I have here stated you have the true causes of the alarming state of the Paris Bourse. /hey will be acceptable, I trust, to all connected with the money market, and they may not be without interest for the general public, as they necessarily comprise all the leading topics discussed to-day in rave. MONEY mid COMMERCIAL NEWS. v CITY, QUARTEIe TO THREE. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the sales were 4,000 bales at steady prices. Railway Shares were flair, with more disposition to press sales. There is still some uneasiness experienced at the com plexion of the news from France and Italy, though no doubt is entertained but that speculation has a great deal to do with the rumours set abroad just now. The produce markets are at the present moment rather improving, but prices are still far below what was paid by the agents of the importers at the place of shipment. Advices of December 21, from Pernambuco, state that extreme mistrust had been excited by the failures in England, and that specie was likely to be sent forward in lieu of bills. Produce had declined, but was still far above the rates obtainable in England. The Cape of Good Hope papers to Nov. 1 have been anticipated by a previous arrival. The Corn Market is:heavy again to-day. It is gratifying to learn that the American States are steadily improving in their financial resources so as to afford every promise of meeting the claims upon them. The Message of Governor Pratt, of Maryland, to the Legislature of that state gives a brief statement of the public finances. It appears that, by the operations of the two years, ending December, 1846, the amount of in terest has been reduced to less than one million three hundred thousand dollars, and during the past year more than four hundred thousand dollars of arrears of interest have been paid, leaving, on the Ist of Decem ber, an amount of interest to be funded of less than nine hundred thousand dollars. The existing re venue system is imperfect in many particulars, aal the Governor recommends that the system be examined and improved by the increase of the present, or the impo sition of other taxes. This is " pay-day " in the Stock Exchange, and there is rather more demand for money. Consols have fluc tuated from 86j- to 87* for transfer, and from 86i to 874 for account ; New Three - and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88 to 881 and the Three per Cents. 86i to 87-11. Bank Stock has been as high as 1951 and 198. Exche quer-bills have been marked 245. to 275. premium, at d India Bonds 1 s. premium. The Foreign Bonds have been depressed. Spanish Five per Cents. are 18k, and the Three per Cents. 28- to 294. Portuguese Four per Cents, are 25k. Mexica❑ have not been dealt in.
