A certain Irish Club in Paris! Wonderful source of inspiration —a concourse of mauvais sujets in some obscure parlour—the Delphic oracle of in subordination—the Eleusis of bloodshed ! While LAMARTINE, the voice, the soul, the genius, and the orator of French democracy, is enunciating before the population of the whole hemisphere the determination of Republican France to preserve a rigid neutrality in reference to the internal dissensions of the United Kingdom —a certain Irish Club in Paris, the creme de la creme of the brawlers of that metro polis, encourages Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN to the conviction that 50,000 valuable citizens will proceed from that country, immediately they may be summoned thence by some imminent catas trophe, to the assistance of the marauding demagogues of Ireland. No credit whatever is attached to the declaration of LAMARTINE, and an implicit reliance is placed in the insinuations l ot " a certain . Irish Club in Paris !" Vive la bagatelle 1 When, moreover, the gaping audience in the music hall welcome these sage assurances by long and vociferous acclamations, Mr. DUFFY caps the cheering with this magnificent Hibernian hyperbole. "I hear," says he, "in that shout the tocsin of a new nationality !" In a kindred spirit, the illustrious Mr. MrrcaEn, the genius of the United Irishman—that compromise be tween L'ami du peuple and the Pere Duchesne— cautions the populace from being cajoled into the purchase of cheap Birmingham guns. " They are worse than nothing," said he, in the tone of a con noiseur, in such articles—" a good stick is a thousand times better." In short, if we were to regard the " spouters" of the Confederation as the real mouth pieces of the public opinion of Ireland, we should cer tainly regard that island as overshadowed by the spectre of OLD \YELLER. " SemmlvEL," said that renowned man upon a memorable occasion, speaking at once from a recollection of the potations of Mr. STIGGINS and from the sepulchral depths of his waistcoat, " Samativisn—l'll keep a piker The Young Irelanders appear to have selected that announcement as their watchword—"SamaivEn, I'll keep a pike." Mr. JOHN MITCHEL indeed evinces such an extraordinary affec tion for pikes (of a certain kind) that he actually apostrophizes as a true patriot a man named AHEARN, because, forsooth, he has defied the authorities of Limerick to prevent his selling pikes as useful pieces of ironmongery. As far as the insurgent Dablinites are concerned, the cry of Ireland is "A bas Washing ton ! A bas Rienzi! A bas Verginaud! A bas O'Con nell! Vive Ahearn, the pike-seller ! Vive Smith O'Brien, the toast-eater ! Vive Mitchel," or anybody else, who will talk treason and fan the flames of insurrection with the foolscap of unprincipled journalism! As well, say we, condense all this cla mour into five syllables—" Vice la bagatelle r While the sedition-mongers are prospering to a certain degree in some of the purlieus of Dublin, an attempt is being made to agitate, to an unnecessary extent, the public mind in our own vast and peaceful metropolis. A grand demonstration was preparing in favour of the Charter for Monday next, the 10th instant, upon the morning of which day a procession of great magnitude was to proceed from Kennington common to Westminster, for the purpose of present ing a petition to the Commons House of Parliament. Last evening that procession was prohibited. A Go vernment Proclamation, signed by the Commissioners of the Police of the metropolis, announced to the people that the intended movement is in direct viola tion of an Act of Parliament, passed during the reign of his late Majesty, King CHARLES 11., an Act which forbids, under heavy and formidable penalties, the presentation of petitions by " excessive numbers of people." Before, therefore, the Kennington de monstration can be made with legality, that obstruc tive Act must be ahrogited. There can be no doubt whatever that there are heavy grievances pressing upon the population, grievances which re quire an immediate removal, and for the ex pediency of which removal peaceful demonstra tions like the one projected for Monday, would be eminently justifiable—supposing, in the first instance, of course, that these demonstrations were rendered legal. As matters stand, however, at the present moment, there can be not one moment's hesitation as to the course to be adopted by the SOVEREIGN, by the Government, by the Parliament, and by the PEOPLE. Let the QUEEN, the Ministry, the Legislature, and the Nation be but true to them selves, true to the incitements of their intelligence and to the dictates of their patriotism, and the boastful prediction of the eloquent Paymaster of her Majesty's Forces, will be fulfilled—" Amidst the commotions which everywhere surround us—amidst the crash of foreign thrones—the Constitution of England will remain immovable on its basis." The Emperor of AUSTRIA is playing a double part. He is attempting at one and the same time to wield the sceptre of a constitutional sovereign and the sword of an aggressive usurper. This is sufficiently attested by the totally opposite lines of policy which he is simultaneously pursuing towards his hereditary and his conquered dominions—Austria Proper and Austrian Italy. His recent proclamation to the former breathes a spirit of conciliation and concession, and is on the whole a document not unworthy of a liberal and constitutional king; towards the latter his recent proceedings are written in letters of blood, and are not unworthy of the most ruthless captains of the sanguinary ages of uncivilization. That the EMPEROR'S recent address to his hereditary dominions is characterised by a conciliatory spirit is amply demonstrated by the following passages. After pro claiming his earnest wish to maintain a general peace, for the preservation of which some "indispensable requisitions" must be maintained upon the frontiers, he preceeds : " In regard to the measures which these requisitions may necessarily call for, we shall turn to our faithful 'lutes for their co-operation; and while we acknowledgr the right of those states to concert with us respecting the br st method by which these requisitions can be car ried into ettect with tie least passible detriment to the wfeal 0 1 our country, we promise to lay before them an exactacc , ,unt of t h e state o f t hi ng , , b y su b m i tt i ng to qudi Jteesoduarctaes w ol he t r h eu e p S on tat t e h , e w y hi ro ch ay w g i a.„ them cand i d exp l anat i ons rasp cting the requirements lutions" riloufrninudtshhelrtheresroe: There is assuredly little of the despotic EmyErtota in this, and Still less in the following paragraph, which concludes the address : " Further, as in conjunction with our faithful states we are convinced that the provincial and municipal in stitutions, whose maintenance and consolidation must be the obj. et of our especial care, may be materially ad rane(' in power, stability, and importance, by the en larged co-operation of our loving subjects, wh o have hitherto had a very limited share in the transactions of the Diet, we hereby recommend our faithful states to take this subject into their immediate deliberation, and to submit to us any propositions by which the burghers nirty obtain a more extensive influence in the deliberations of the states, as well as their wishes and proposals respecting the reform and improvement of municipal and corporate establishments. This is our Ro)at will and pleasure, and we hereby send you our Imperial greeting." If this were all we found chronicled of the recent proceedings of FERDINA ND an d hi s employes , might congratulate Europe on th e possession of we an other constitutional sovereign and th e liberal crusade on the advent of another crowned supporter. But, unhappily, this is not all that we learn of the doing s o f the Austrian EMPEROR, as the sufferings of Italy can testify. In order to preserve his Italian conqu es t s , he has had recourse to the most violent and unjustifi able means. He has endeavoured to quench the dawning light of independence with torrents of blood ; he has opposed to the constitutional efforts of patriots anxious to assert their national freedom the brute force of a rapacious and merciless soldiery. As a pendant to the extracts we have just taken from the EMPEROR'S address to his hereditary subjects, here is a hir ssage from a re p or t d e scriptive of the conduct of : I diers towards th e su bjects of his Italian domi n ci.,ieowreerde beyond lat e massacres at 'AI ilan," says this report, children before everythi ng the horrible. ey es of tThehei their ro mothers, t Croatians hers , m o u u r t off the hands of you houses, leaving devastas t g 7 i oo r d ls r i i n og o s r , der to possess them selves of their bracelnegt quarte r of pillaged and burned s p u as p s p a o g s e e itnhaetvetrhyese atrocities thew and death to mark their rnanded by the Austrian EMPEROR,esWe do not e c r it e Y: a ' ctually corn cietly demonstrate what kind but they sufli wwaaTrshfaerye show hadw iin 4t,A, treat ei d i an t tt r e h d s spiritt Italiano o i be paternal t e carriedrr subjects.l al kindnesso n Moreover,i n d t al h y f e .

Intelligenceahhdaodlnifeir' received from the French capital, thus mentioned the rejoinder of the Provisi:onall;NY7 nister for Foreign Affairs, to the Repeal Deputation " The answer of LAMAaTINE had been received, and like all state documents it meant nothing." Of itself this evidence of self-sufficiency would be contempt ible, but coupled with the insane announcement of Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'BRIEN, it is absolutely be yond endurance. " I have seen enough of France," says that most redoubtable person, " to convince the that she is able and willing, if invited, to send 60,000 of the most valuable citizens to sup port the Irish nation in a struggle." And what, it may very naturally he asked, has induced the Honourable and sagacious Mem ber for Limerick to arrive at this encouraging conclusion after the contemptuous rebuff adminis tered to himself and his accomplices by Citizen ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE ? What ? Why the delivery of an address from an anonymous body across the Channel, who are of such 111aMellS0 1111. THE SUN, LONDON, recently given utterance, and what degree of sincerity was contained in his address to the Hungarians and his recent proclamation. The sheep's clothing was insufficient to disguise the savage propensities of its wearer, and neither can the concilia tory demeanour of a constitutional sovereign make us unobservant of the grasping hand of the absolutist, and the naked sword of the resolute usurper. Towards his hereditary and his conquered dominions the Emperor FERDINAND bears himself in accordance to the different positions in which he stands to each. To Austria he is learning how to become a beneficent and liberal ruler—to Italy he is resolved to be only a conqueror and an arbitrary master. Hence the anomaly of his recent conduct. Hence on the one hand he issues a liberal manifesto, while on the other he affixes his signature to war rants of bloodshed and spoliation. The only remedy for these incongruous proceedings is a simple one, and the sooner it is adopted, for it must be adopted, the better will it be for all parties. If to Austria FERDINAND is become a liberal ruler, let him still be the ruler of Austria; but if to Italy, FERDINAND is become a tyrant and oppressor, let him give up Italy. This is the only alternative by which the peace and prosperity of Italy and Austria may be ensured. If it be not forthwith adopted much misery will for a time be the consequence, and the end will inevitably be the same. Italy will ere long be independent. Venice has already thrown off the yoke, and every minor Italian - state has made some preparatory movement indicative of its coming inde pendence. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Provisional Government has published a decree in the Montteur, appointing M. ABACI° Minister of War. The Moniteur also contains a decree relieving tax payers from the ndditional tax of 45 per cent., and the other impositions which had been ordered to be levied by the decree of the 16th ult. A number of Swiss went up to the Government, and, after expressing their sympathy and love for France, noticed the expulsion of Swiss workmen from the different workshops, and requested the Government to explain to the French workmen the injustice of their conduct. M. MARRAST, in reply, said that the proceeding complained of was the error of a day, caused by unenlightened distrust, some times by misery, and that the Government was taking measures to prevent any violence from being done to foreign workmen. The elections for officers of the National Guard have, generally speaking, terminated in favour of the Republican candidates. The following are the results of the elections : In the Ist Legion M. DH TRACY carried the elec tion by a majority of upwards of 6,000 to 15 over M. DE BASTILE, the Government candidate. In the 2d Legion M. C. THOMAS, one of the editors of the National, had the majority ; but the majority not being an absolute one, a second ballot becomes necessary. In the 3d Legion—M. Thirion was elected. 4th Legion—M. Rammono de la Crousette. sth Legion— M. Favrel. 7th Legion—M. Dauphin. Bth Legion—M: Bourdon. 9th Legion—M. Yautiez. 10th Legion—Al. Hurgray. 11th Legion—M. Quinet. 12th Legion—M. Barbes. 13th Legion (Cavalry)—M. Trelat. In the 2d and 6th Legions the final ballot is yet to take place. In general these elections are in favour of the Republican candidates, but the opposition to them was much more formidable than was antici pated. The remaining elections for the colonelcies of the National Guards have closed in favour of the Re publican party. Paris was quite quiet, and the last accounts from Lyons announce the complete restoration of tran quillity in that city. The Constitutionnel says that it was by mistake that the Gazette du Midi announced the retirement of M. TRIERS from the contest for the department of the Bouches du Rhine. M. THIERS, it says, adheres to the terms of his circular, and is ready to accept of the seat of deputy, if offered to him, " as a duty the accomplishment of which no good citizen can refuse." • The Count DB MONTALEULIERT, having been in vited by several departments to come forward as a candidate fur a seat in the National Assembly, has issued an address to the electors of the different de partments. He candidly admits that he was a sin cere admirer of the monarchical form of government, but he adds— " I have always- placed national sovereignty in the first rank of my political dogmas. I recognised its right in the Charter of 1830. I neither can nor will dispute its work in the Republic of 1848. I believed in consti tutional royalty with sincere and completely disinteres ted faith. I still believe that representative government has given to the country thirty-four years of peace, of prosperity, and of liberty, incomplete, it is true, but un equalled in our history. However, God has abandoned it, and France has not defended it. I submit mySelf to the judgment of France arid God, in order only to re member my duty towards the country and truth." In conclusion, M. DE MONTALEMBERT says— "l have passed eighteen years under a monarchy in saying that I believed in the truth above all and for all. I hope to do the same under the Republic. If the Re public, in improving the lot of workmen, guarantees, like that of the United States, the supreme benefit to reli gion, property, and family, it will not have a more sin cere partisan, a more devoted son than I am. If, on the contrary, it follows the trace of its predecessors, if it proceeds by the way of exclusion, of suspicion, of perse cution, if it does not shrink from violence and confisca tion, then it may have me for adversary or victim, but never for an instruutent or accomplice." The Lyons papers contradict the account of the revolution in Savoy, and the proclamation of the Re public at Chamberry. The tbllowing communication respecting the se questration of the Orleans and Vierzon Railway has been sent to the Paris journals : The Boards of Directors of the Orleans and Vierzon Railway Companies met to-day, April 5, extraordina rily, to deliberate on the situation in which these com panies are thrown by the decree of the preceding day placing the two lines under sequestration. They have decided—first, that the shareholders shall be convoked to a general meeting within the delay prescribed by the statutes, viz., for the Orleans Company April 27, and for the Vierzon Company the next day, the 28th. Se conaly, that the removal of the sequestration within the shorte,t possible delay shall be forthwith most energeti cally demanded from the Provisional Government. Thirdly, that during the whole period of the sequestra. non every measure shall be taken by the two boards to preserve intact the rights of the shareholders and such third parties as may be interested in the matter. "A. BANES, "Director of the Orleans and Vierzon Companies." FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 7, 1848. dertake the work at a lower price, and that they should reduce the number of their apprentices. They also require that the income arising from the house belonging to the guild, situated in the Juden Platz, should be duly accounted for. BOURSE—PA us, THURSDAY, APRIL 6. THREE O'CLOCK.- Matters have presented a better aspect at the Bourse to-day; both the Route and Rail way shares have advanced considerably. The Three per Cents. have risen not less than 3f. 50c., closing at 36 1 . 50c. ; and the Five per Cents. 2f., closing at 521. This advance was caused by a rumour which prevailed, that M. Fould, the banker, had been offered the post of Minister of Finance, and that he was not averse to ac cepting it. Towards the end of the Bourse it was stated that he had only been called on by the Provisional Go vernment to give his advice on certain points, and that ho had already sent in a report stating his views. However this may be, the market was ex ceedingly firm, and less despondency was evinced than for some days past. The orderly and tranquil man ner in which the election for the colonels of the Na tional Guards were effected, had also a favourable influence on the markets. Bank of France Shares however, did not participate in the improvement of the Rente ; after openina. at 1,0601., and having been done at 10f. 90c., they closed at 101. 75c., or sf. lower than the day before. The Miscellaneous Securities also remain heavy:-Quartre Canaux are 35f. lower, at 6551.; and Obligations de la Ville 101. lower, at 9301.; Roman is i higher, at 50f., and Belgian Fives (1840), 2i better, at 50if.; Belgian Fives (1842) are at 49if. In Railway Shares, Marseilles are 17f. 50c. better, at 1147 f. 50c.; Rouen, 151. better, at 2901.; Orleans, 101. better, at 420 f.; Vierzon, 71. 50c. better, at 200 E; Northern, 3f. 75c. better at 3081. 75c.; and Nantes, 3t 75e. better, at 3321. 50c, ; Havre are 20f. lower, at 1401.; Strasburg, 21. 50c. lower, at 333 f. 75c.; Bordeaux and Lyons are unchanged, at 382 f. 50c. and 295 f .; B ons du Tstfm:or are something better to-day, closing at 48 per cent. loss; French gold is at from 65t. to 701.; the charge for obtaining specie for the 1,0001. note, about 121, to 15f.; and the value of the sovereign 25f. 50c. to 251. 75c.

DEATH (IF LORD RIVERSDALE. — This nobleman, an Irish peer, and a resident of, the county Cork, has paid the debt of nature. His Lordship was brother of the Bishop of Killaloe. SPAIN. Madrid journals to the 81st ult. have been received. Senor a LOZAGA had been sent in custody to Cadiz, in order to be transported to the Philippine Islands. A renewal of the disturbances in Madrid was hourly expected. Senor OLOZAGA has addressed the following letter to NARVAEz:-• " TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE DUKE OF VALENCIA. " On leaving my house, about eleven this morning, it was intimated to me that I was under arrest by your order, I was unwilling to believe it. I asked for the written order, and was told that they had none. I replied that until I heard it myself from your own mouth I would not believe it. On this a person, who said that he was the successor of Redonda, and to whom I sin cerely wish a better fate than his predecessor, offered to conduct me to your house, which was all that I could de sire under the circumstances. He did more—he sent notice of it to my family by one of his dependents. But on the road, without anything new having occurred, he altered his determination, and being wanting to his spontaneous offer, he took me to the office of the poli tical chief, where there is at this moment neither chief nor secretary, nor any one whatever to hear or attend to me. "That you who demanded the suspension of the con stitutional guarantees may order to be arrested the person who did all that he legally could to prevent the suspension being conceded, is to be comprehended; but that an honourable citizen (not to speak of other titles that might be alleged by one who has served his country as I have done) is to be the sport of the caprices of a policeman, is a thing that I imagine you cannot approve. " It I am not wrong in rendering you this justice, consider the way in which I shall be able best and soonest to know what it is sought to do with me. " That it snav not be interpreted ill, I don't explain to you the family reasons which make me desire the greatest possible dispatch in this business, nor shall I say a single word as to the surprise which my arrest, even under present circumstances, could not but cause me. " If I should ha►e the pleasure to see you I shall per haps be more explicit. " I remain, &c., (Signed) "S. DE OLOZAGA. " Madrid, March 30, 1848, at noon, General Post-office."

The following is the Address voted by the Diet to the King of PRUSSIA : _ " Your Majesty has called us together at a moment when the German people, long repressed by divisions and want of free institutions, is raising itself in all its ancient strength to unity and freedom. The Germans of every race extend the hand of brotherhood to each other, and Prussia demands no more than to become an active member of the entire body. Freedom alone gives life and activity, and freedom is guaranteed to the whole of Germany by the Assembly of the people, which is now being developed; to Prussia it is guaranteed by the institutions your Majesty has secured it, in the bases of the new constitution; and in this, our last meeting, we are penetrated with the cheering conviction that for the future a real representation of the people will watch over the destinies of the nation. _ " We are still, however, the legal organ of the coun• try, and in this capacity have certain duties to discharge. Your Majesty, in the decree of the 18th of March last, in the appeal of the '2lst, and the declarations of the 22d and 28th of the same month, assured us that pro jects of Jaw will be laid before the representatives of the people, relating to— " Freedom of the press; "'Security of personal liberty; "Full right of meeting and association; "Independence of the judges; "Abolition of hereditary jurisdictions and domaie police; " Publicity of judicial proceedings, and viva voce ex amination of witnesses, with trial by jury in penal cases, and especially for political offences; "Equality of civil and political rights to all religious persuasions; " A general arming of the citizens, with free election of their officers; " A thorough and popular law of election, representing all interests; " A decisive operation by a simple majority of the popular assembly in the legislation and administration of the State; " Responsibility of the Ministers; "The army to be sworn to the constitution. " Your Majesty has also guaranteed the active ope ration of Prussia in a change of the German Confede ration into a German Union, with a real national assembly. " In thankfully receiving these assurances and recog• nizing the fact, that from the present time a constou tional monarchy, on the broadest basis, is to be the form of government in Prussia, we are convinced that we are warranted in so doing, not only by our own constitu tional functions, but by the will of the people. " The nation will not, because it has raised itself to freedom, abruptly sever its present history from its past; it honours the monarchy under which Prussia has become great, and sees in the constitutional form of that system the surest protection of liberty, of public welfare, and the unity of the kingdom. It considers it necesary for its relations with other German states; it recognises that under this banner alone Germany can become united, and defend itself victoriously against dangers threatening its national existence and the noble acquisi tions of society. " Germany, firmly resolved to defend its nationality from all attacks from without, wishes to do justice to all. We, therefore, gladly approve the decree of your Majesty, recognising the constitution of the Duchy of Posen. " Your Majesty, in a moment pregnant with danger, has come to a fortunate decision; men have been sum moned to the councils of the Crown who possess the con fidence of the country. The general operation of the power of the State, thus strengthened, will increase the feeling of union between the nation and its princes, in• spire trade and commerce with confidence; the Govern meut w ill pay increased attention to the condition of the working classes in town and country, and at the sametjeescontrary time,in a legal manner, p u t an en d t o many p rac to the law which have grown up in different parts of the country. " Every division henceforth vanishes; the people and the army are no longer two bodies; heroic hearts beat in each of them, and the sacred love of their common country will combine them in one perfect and insepera hle whole. Your Majesty's Government in its efforts to restore law and order in the administration of our public affairs can reckon on the zealous assistance of all good citizens, for all acknowledge that respect for the laws of the country can alone guard us from destruction, and deve• lope the opening blossom cif freedom in its fairest fruit. " Reserving for the present any declaration of opinion upon the projects of law which regard a portion of your Majesty's promises above alluded to, we remain, with the greatest respect, " Your Majesty's true and faithful States, for the second time assembled in United Diet. " Berlin, April 2." There is evidently a financial crisis approaching in Berlin. Several failures (among others that of a large banker) have been announced, and money is very scarce. A letter from Berlin in the Cologne Gazette men tions the arrival of a eourier from St. Petersburgh, who was the bearer of a memorial from the St. Petersburgh Cabinet, dated the 26th of March, in which the EMPEROR expresses his determination to observe a neutral position amidst the dissensions in Western Europe, and to use all his endeavours to maintain peace, adding, at the same time, that any violation of the Russian territory should be punished. The dispatch concludes with a special threat against the Poles, to whom, it says, no mercy whatever shall be shown if they dare to cross the Russian frontier. POSEN• Accounts from Posen to the 31st March state that the Poli s h C ommittee, to w h o m the KING had con fided th e m i ssion of reconstruc ting the ancient king dom o f P oland, have begun b y ca lling the people t o arms, and the whole of the Grand Duc h y is at the p r esent moment a military camp. About 20,000 scythemen alone are prepared to use their formidable weapons. An expedition into the Russian kingdom of Poland is thought of. These and similar proceed ings are unexpectedly opposed by the Polish peasant population of the Grand Duchy. The peasants will not submit to be governed by the Poles; they insist on remaining under the Prussian Government. They have plainly threatened to kill their landlords if the latter should dare to promo te the reconstruction of a Polish kingdom. AUSTRIA. Accounts from Vienna of the 30th March state that a meeting of journeymen tailors, which was to have been held on that day, in the Juden Plat; ha been dispersed without trouble by the National Guards. The demands of the journeymen tailors were-1. That their wages should be raised to a florin a day. 2. That the time fur work should be abridged. 3. That the masters should not employ women, who un- HANOVER. In the sitting of the first Chamber of the Hano verian States Assembly, of the 31st of March, the Government proposed a project of law for the repeal of Art. 180 of the Constitution, according to which no mc w ification can be voted otherwise than unani mously : the Government proposes that an absolute majority would be sufficient. The same dey the Assembly rejected the project having for its object to oblige the Commons to indemnify the proprietors for the damages the rioters had occasioned to public or private properties. BRUNSWICK. The Extraordinary Diet pf Brunswick was opened on the 31st of March. The DUKE said in his speech, "An external foe threatens the western frontier of the Germanic Confederation, and a German coun try (Schleswig-Holstein) is threatened with being violently torn from the Germanic union. The Go • vernments of West Germany recognise the imperious necessity of not suffering such an attack. Accord ingly I will concede military aid to our brethren of Holstein, and I hope from your patriotism that you will furnish me the means of realizing my intention." BELGIUM. The Brussels Emancipation of Tuesday contains a variety of information on the affairs of the continent, of which, however, the greater portion has beet, anticipated. It appears that the tumultuary pro ceedings at Ghent and elsewhere have temporarily subsided, although fears were entertained of renewed disturbances on Monday evening, when the opera tives out of work were expected to assemble in the place publique. _ _ On Monday, the KING received a deputation of Belgian boatmen, who complained that they could not obtain any employment in consequence of the commercial crisis. Hid MAJESTY replied that he would examine their deinand with the most scrupu lous attention, and that it should be referred to the consideration of the Government. Many Germans, Poles, and Italian refugees left Belgium on Monday and Tuesday, taking the direc tion of Rhenish Prussia. They were decorated with the national cockades of their respective countries. At the sitting of the Chambers on the 31st ult., the Minister of War laid on the table a project of law for the granting of an extraordinary credit of 9,000,000 f. From the tables annexed to the expose of the Minister, it appears that the grand total increase of the effective force amounts to 23,740 men and 2,000 horses. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES A letter from Rendsburg, in the Cologne Gazette, states that the Provisional Government have dis patched a letter, containing a summary of their grievances, to the King of DENMARK. They add that they have taken the direction of affairs upon themselves in order to prevent the impending dangers of anarchy, and to open the way to an amicable un - derstanding. A letter from Eider, of the 31st ult., in the Bremer Zeitung, reports that a strong firing of artillery and musketry was heard that day in the direction of Schleswig or Eckernforde. Information was re ceived at Kiel on the 30th (though it can scarcely be relied on) that the Danish war-steamer Hecla had been boarded and taken by the students of Kiel and a battalion of riflemen. The same journal states that a Prussian vessel, as she was passing through the Sound on the 28th ult., was fired at by the Danish batteries. By Hamburgh steamer arrived at Hull this morn ing, we have received the following intelligence : RENDSDURGH, ArRIL 3.—The first sitting of the General ASsembly . of Schleswig-Holstein, convened by the Provisional Government of the United Duchies, took place this day in the theatre, which was densely filled at the commencement of the proceedings, and so continued to their close. There were seventy-five members present, but the delegates for Flensburg did not arrive until half-past twelve. The proposal of the Provisional Government for the annexation of Schleswig to the Germanic Union, was carried with but two dissentients. The resolutions of the General Assembly this day embraced the following objects : ' 1. The appointment of a Provisional Administra tion fic the future Government of the country. 2. The nomination of a committee for preparing a draft of a constitution for the independent state of Schleswig. Holstein. 3. The abolition for the present of all existing taxes. 4. Confirmation of the proposition of the Pro visional Government for the union of Schleswig with the Germanic Confederation. 5. Approval of the proclamations of the Provisional Government securing, one, the right of public assem bly and discussion; two, the arming of the burghers; and three, the freedom of the press. ITALY. We have letters of the 30th ult. from the city of Milan. The King of SARDINIA, at the head of nearly 20,000 regular troops, was close to Marshal RADETSLT, in the vicinity of Crema ; and if the latter means to fight an engagement so imminent, the Marshal must capitulate. 'Venice has re nounced the Republic, agreed to follow the example of Milan, and wait till the Austrians be expelled to discuss the future form of government, so have Brescia, Bergamo, Como, Lodi, Creme, Pavia, Sondai, and other towns. The barricades of Milan are removed. WARWICK ASSIZES—;THIS DAY). (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) THE QUEEN v. GUTTERIDGE.

DISTINCTIVE BADGE FOR SPECIAL CONSTABLES.— The authorities of Scotland-yard have this morning issued to each of the special constables in St. Martin's and other parishes white belts, about one inch in width, to be worn on the hat and arm when engaged on duty. They are all ordered to hold themselves in readiness to be called upon on Monday next. GOVERNMENT MEASUR ES FOR THE S AFETY OF PARLIAMENT.—This mornin g one o f the metropolitan magistrates attended at the New Houses of Parliament and swore in as special constables the whole of the , workmen employed und er M r. Barry, to the number of between 700 and 800. It is also intended to swear in the officers of both Houses in the course of the day. We have also been informed cn undoubted authority that a barricade is to be erected in New P a l ace - Yard, to prote ct the entrance to the Ho uses b y Westminster Hall, and the Committee-rooms. These precautionary measures were arranged between Captain Hay, the Assistant Police Commissioner, and Captain Gossett, Deputy Assistant Sergeant -at-Arms. A strong police force will be in at tendance to prevent the approach of any procession which is likely by its numerical strength to overawe the Legislature, or impede the approach of Peers and Mem bers to the Houses of Lords and Commons. CHANGE OF NATIONALITY.-0 13 Sunday morning, two schooners then lying in King William's Dock, Dun dee, the Regina and the Dorothea, belonging to Blank nese, in the State of Schleswig Holstein, displayed the Danish colours. In the course of the forenoon, however, the skippers of these vessels becoming aware of what was going on in their native country, pulled down the Danish flag and hoisted that of the old German empire. —Thindee Advertiser. CHARTIST CONVENTION. (THIS DAY.) The members of the Convention met this morning at nine o'clock. The proclamation of the Government formed, of course, the chief topic with the speakers. Mr. WNEELMt moved, and Mr. CUFF!' seconded, a resolution authorising the immediate issue of a counter proclamation, stating that the procession would take place, and requesting therein that all persons attending it should act peaceably and orderly. Mr. BALDWIN, who said that he bad previously been imprisoned for the cause of Chartism, stated that he had been sent up to London to superintend the presentation of the people's petition, and no proclamation, or other proceeding, of the Government should intimidate him from doing his duty. Mr. WATSON expressed a similar intention. He did not think that he should be doing justice to the large constituency which he had the honour to represent if he was not prepared, with the other delegates, to stand by the people's petition. Mr. W ILKINSON said that he should deeply regret to see the country deluged with blood. He might be accused of cowardice, but he should still feel it his duty to be at his post. Mr. TURNER, who was deeply oppressed with the sense of his responsibility and duty to his constituents, expressed himself fully determined to carry out his mis sion to the very letter, and it he fell in the performance of his only by the minions of the Government, he would say, " I have set my lite upon a cast, and I will stand the hazard of the die." Mr. F. O'Cosisrou, whose entrance was loudly cheered, then addressed the meeting on the motion before it—he said that, notwithstanding the press of his other private and public, business, he should feel it his duty to remain with the Convention to-day. He had come up from the country for the purpose of publishing, with bis own name attached to it, a letter embodying the spirit of the reso lution before the meeting.—(Loud cheers.) For several years he had been recognised as the ostensible leader of this movement, and in that letter, after noticing the proclamation of the Police Commissioners, he stated that he should attend, and be at his post, on Monday next.— (Loud and continued cheers.) He was happy to see that a better and more distinct opinion was prevailing among the delegates ; he trusted that they would not allow their discretion to be led away, for not only the men of London but the men of England, the men of the United Empire, and of the whole world looked anxiously to their decision.—(Much cheering.) He believed that the ridiculous ebullitions of some of the members of the delegates had induced the Government to take the steps they had done with respect to the pro cession, and they all knew with what ease a strong Government could hang anything on the fears of the selfiSh middle classes of this country. It was not the original desire of the Government to do them any da mage. It was the foolish conduct of some of the mem bers of the Convention in 1831 which embroiled them then with the Government. It now became them to be discreet,' and to take care that no folly of theirs should mar the success of the national cause. He did not anticipate the slightest riot, disaffection, or disorder, and be had observed last night in the House of Com mons, that they had a perfect right to assemble in the manner they intended. He was the scapegoat in the House of Commons for every word said out of the House, and he deeply regretted that many of his friends in the House had told him, that, iu consequence of the language used, they did not see the possibillity of sup porting the prayer of the national petition, as so many of the Chartist speakers had gone far beyond the limit which they had proposed to themselves. So far as he was concerned, he was not bound by the language of any men, more than by the acts of the pickpockets who choose to follow them. He had been taunted at Lancaster with having created excitement, for the purpose of filling his own coffers, and to procure an increased circulation for the Northern Star. Now, he had made up his mind to give every farthing of the profits of the Northern Star to sustain the movements and the expense of this Convention.—(Load cheers.) It should never be said that he had lived by the excitement and ebullitions of the people ; he should consider him self a degraded and dishonoured man if he was capable of deriving profit from the enthusiasm of any body of the people. ,He would not even re serve to himself the remuneration of a common editor, he should be proud to style himself the " unpaid contri butor of the Northern Star." This would tend more to the discomfiture et their enemies than any other course he could adopt.—(Cheers.) The petition which he had the bonour of presenting to the House last night waa objected to by the Attorney General on th,- ground that it was not a legal assembly. He (Mr. O'Connor) was clearly of opinion that they were the real representatives of the wilt of the people.—(Cheers) In consequence of the form of proceeding in the House of Commons he did not think that it was probable that the debate could come on in the House on the presentation of the petition, as the Government had most invidiously placed the Jew ish Bill for the third reading upon that day. He did not think, however, that any injury to the cause would re sult frOm the adjournment of the debate, because the Convention had declared its sittings permanent.— (Cheers.) The Government have proposed to bring in a Bill to give further powers to the Crown and the Go vernment. He had no doubt that the object of that measure would be to draw a very slight distinction be tween sedition and treason, for the purpese of putting down this movement. He should must certainly be it, his place, even it he stood alone, to oppose the granting of further powers to the Crown and the Government aL a time when in all other countries of Europe the people were receiving more power and the old Governments were crumbling into dust. If this Convention should commit a single act which would jeo pardize the cause they had met to advance, he believed in his soul that they would be only promot ing the ends of the Government, which he believed was to bring about a collision between the people and the authorities. The Government, like other Governments, were no doubt very presumptuous, they were looking round and saw what was going on in other countries, and they said this is a monarchy still. The people not only seek to obtain the Charter, but want to upset the monarchy, and with these opinions they tickler; the feel. ings of the middle classes of the people of the country, and endeavoured to join them with them in the dismem berment of the empire, and it was necessary for them to be resolute, but at the same time to be pru dent. He (11r. O'Connor) saw as clear as the sun at noon-day that there was no resource t n h o ei w r left to the Government but to give to theed with heads people long withheld rights He was surrouri d • wise enough to take lessons by to t o h l e low h fo lteliestr hopes to, be oof the past, and by sufficient courage not blighted, blasted, and withered the labour question .—( Cheers .) tantthe present time.

He asked them, in the name of God, in the name of justice, not to make him their scapegoat and give him the trouble of accounting to the House of Commons for every idle and foolish word uttered in that Convention. lie saw palpable signs of the rights of the people being awarded to them, he saw the revenue falling off in Ireland and in England-- he saw that in Ireland every person was draining his money from the savings bank as fast as they could.— (Hear, hear.) The investments in the savings' banks were the foundation of the wealth of this country, and they now own that this, and all the other institutions of the country, were becoming insecure. There were 25,000,0001. invested in the savings' banks of this coun try; and a run upon those banks would be the most dangerous thing to which the Government could be exposed.—(Loud cheers.) He could not believe that the Government was in a sound state which requi re d further powers to support itself. He was determined to oppose the Bill to be brought in by the Government for that purpose, and he was not going to sully a life of struggle, care, sacrifice, and persecution now, in his old age, by deserting a cause dearer to him than life itself.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. KIDD stated that the attempt to put down this movement would prove useful; he knew more of the state of the country than Sir G. Grey, or the writers of the Times or Chronicle. Mr. ERNEST JONES recommended that if attacked they should defend themselves by their strong right arm. He thought that the delegates should head the process sion and meet the first blow of the truncheon, or the attack which might be made upon them, and any attempt to put down the meeting would be considered not only against the men of London, but of the whole United Kingdom. He thought that measures ought to be adopted for holding simultaneous meetings upon Monday next. Mr. MAcARTEY would not say what would be the fearful consequences if a blow were to be struck by the police force or the military. They were determined, in the name of liberty, if attacked, to resist the blow to the utmost. Mr. FRANCIS recommended that if any of the dele gates should be attacked they should go quietly into custody and not resist, leaving it to their constituents to rescue them if they thought proper. Mr. REYNOLDS said that he was determined for one to attend the presentation of the petition, but he would not take even a stick or an umbrella with him. It, however, they were to be driven to desperation by the Government, there was every chance that they would do the same as had been done in a neighbouring country; but it was not until all peaceable means had been ex hausted that they would have recourse to ulterior measures. Mr. CLARK e xpressed deprecated himself in at the similar course manner. taken by Mr. ERNES T JONES the Government. If they followed the course pursued by Louis Philippe and the French Government, they might depend upon it that they would, like them, be driven into a state of dishonourable exile. Mr. DONOTAN said that a diabolical insinuation had appeared in one of the papers, to the effect that Mr. F. O'Connor would bo held responsible for any conse quences that might result from this movement. Now it that gentleman should be run through by the sword of any general, be would not hesitate for a moment to take upon himself the consequence of standing in the place of Feargus O'Connor. If any attack should be made, he thought the men of the not th should rise in a body and avenge their cause. He thought that it must have been some foreigner who had been employed to rake up the musty old Act of Charles IL to prevent the intended procession. Mr. J. HARNEY repudiated, on th democrats resident in England, part of the f ore i gn he ith ch r a e r s ge eet th to at th a o foreigner had b een so employed. With duties of the delegat es , h e thought that they ought to be at their posts at Kennington common on Monday, and if a single hair of his head should be hurt he knew that the men of Nottingham would gloriously avenge the , injury. He wanted not the support of any armed men; let them meet by hundreds of thousands, the Govern ment would then forget the Act of Charles 11. and leave them peaceably to pursue their peaceable course. Mr. BUCIELT stated his intention of attending the procession in spite of the trembling faction of the tyrannical Whigs, who were now trembling beneath the power of the people. If their blood was shed they would not be able to avenge it, but they would leave it to another and greater power—the vast masses of the empire —to avenge their blood after they were laid in their graves Mr. WALTER said that he advocated the natural and equal rights of man, and if the Government attempted to deprive them of these rights, they would be justified in resorting to physical force. The meeting was addressed in a similar strain, and to a similar effect, by Messrs. Wild, Fussell, and Cumming. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the reso lution, said that they were now advanced to a point from which they could not recede. Nothing must be allowed to drive them back from the position they had takes up. The procession must and should be held ; and he was most happy to see the perfect unanimity which existed among the members upon the subject of the proces. sion. He suggested that every man who attended Kennington-common should fall into the ranks of the procession, and not stand listlessly by ; and if the Government, then seeing that they were unarmed, should let slip the dogs of war upon them, then upon the heads of the Whig Government be the blood that might be shed. The resolution was then unanimously agreed to, and a committee, consisting of Mr. Wheeler, Dr. Hunter, and Mr. Walter, appointed to draw up a proclaniation. Mr. J. HARNEY requested that the committee should direct their attention to a leading article in the Tinos of this morning, and in their proclamation denounce as a liar the infamcus calumniator who wrote that article. A VOICE—Let us sack the Times office. A DELEGATE said that he deprecated the advice given that they should sack the Times office ; the person proposing it was no friend to their cause, and was no doubt one of the police force, a number of whom he WO informed were present in disguise. Mr. REYNOLDS moved that a deputation should be appointed to wait upon Sir George Grey, and inform him that they did not advise any armed proceedings. Mr. CLARK seconded the motion. Mr. CUFFY said that he should oppose the motion• The Government knew, through their reporters, what was the opinion of the Convention; they knew that it was a lie when they said they meant to go armed, they knew well enough that their organ, the Times, told the most infernal lie when it reiterated that assertion. The motion was carried unanimously, and Messrs. Reynolds, Wilkinson, and Clark, appointed to form the deputation. A resolution was also unanimously agreed to, instruct ing the deputation to announce to Sir G. Grey the settled determination of the Convention to hold their intended procession.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY•) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) The Court was occupied during the morning with the trial of cases unfit for publication. NETT COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman Sir CitargAo MARSHALL ) John Roe, 24, a labourer, was indicted for felonious l i breaking and entering the counting-house of M e ssrs' Knill and Co., o f F res h- w h ar f , L on d on - b r id ge , a° stealing therein a watch, value 305., and twelve fa r. penny pieces, the property of Henry Cox. On the prisoner (who was the foreman of the portl of Fresh-wharf) bein g pl a c e d a t th e b ar , h e pl ea d e d clot Guilty; but during the proceedings of the case, unde: i the advice of his Counsel (Mr. Clarkson), he aske d leave of the Court to retract his plea of Not G u ilty, an d plead Guilty. It appeared from the statement of the Learned COT sel for the prosecution (Mr. Huddlestone), that the Po: soner bad secreted himself on the pre m i ses , and tbil' eccomPlished the robbery; and that the principal meal of discovering that he was the thief was his own dog! reluctance to be driven from the warehouse in whic'e his master had secreted himself. The prosecutor strongly recommended the peisonn r to the mercy of the Court, and stated that his 'fatbe', was in his employ, and had been for a great number 0 ' years, and that the prisoner himself had been with bi l° almost from his very birth.

BOW-STREET. -(THIS DAY.) The swearing in of special constables was continued , Mr. Henry still sitting in a private room for the put' pose. The passages of the court were thronged, and 10 fact completely blocked up the whole morning, by the increased crowds of most respectable persons waiting t ° be sworn in. Not less than 3,000 persons have bee ° sworn in in the course of the last three days, and * large number more will be, before th e r i s i ng of the court to-day. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) In the course of the morning a great number of th e inhabitants were sworn in as special constables. In answering one of the numerous questions put to him, Mr. TYRWHITT said that it would be well fo r gentlemen who were desirous to know in what quarter their services would be req u i re d, t o ma k e t h e enqu i r y 0$ Scotland-yard. They could be called upon to serve i° any part of the country, but he did not think it likely that they would be required to act out of their olY° districts. Benjamin Ayley, aged 19, and Ellis Gardiner, aged 1 0, were charged with creating a disturbance in the street° and assaulting the police constables. It appeared from the evidence, that last evening s„ mob assembled near King' s - cr o ss , N ew - road, an d crowded so upon the footway as to prevent any one from passing. Two policemen on duty about the spot , were called to by a shopkeeper to disperse the mob. Those officers, and another who came to their assistance, were roughly handled by the crowd. The prisoner Aylet gave one of the constables " a thrashing" upon the bac* with an ash walking stick, whilst the policeman sys ° struggling with a man who ultimately escaped. The other prisoner was seized in the act of throwing a sto ne by Mr. Taylor, baker, of King's-cross, but the three policemen, such was the resistance they met with, toe' ceeded in securing no other prisoner but these two. Mr. TTRWHITT sentenced Ayley to ten days' impri sonment, and Gardiner to fourteen, observing, as he considered the throwing of stones in a crowded thorough fare more criminal and dangerous than the use of the stick, he inflicted the heavier punishment on Gardiner. ERRATUM.--In the revenue tables which appeared in our impression of yesterday, in consequence of the, transposition of the t h e two words " increase " an d " decrease," it appeared as if there had been a decrease on the quarter's revenue of 402,5751., instead of an crease to that amount.
