Lord JOHN RUSSELL last night made his promised statement with respect to the West India colonies. The Noble Lord is resolved that the principle of free trade, in what has been happily termed the corn of " the tropics," shall not be abandoned—that the people of this country shall not be permanently taxed on an article essential to the comforts of all classes, for the benefit, we should rather say for the fancied benefit, of a privileged few. It is, therefore, by no means surprising that loud complaints were heard from the Protectionist benches, and that although the debate on the proposed resolutions was not in tended to take place until Monday, the advocates for menopol f could not restrain their indignation even for that brief period. The West India interest was unfortunately not the only one which has recently suffered under the extraordinary pressure of the times; few indeed have escaped severe losses, and the planters could scarcely hope for an exemption from the general distress "Extreme cases," it is said, " make bad precedents' Permanent legislation could not properly be framed on the state of affairs existing at that particular period, when every description of produce was so greatly depreciated, and when the trials by w hi ch the community at large was afflicted were incre ase d by the results of the vicious legislation that had formerly prevailed. The only statesmanlike cours e then is to be guided by the existing legislation, to examine what just grounds of coa l - plaint can be preferred against any portion of the present system, and, if practicable, to remedy them, without injury to the great body of I the people, and without departing from the great principles which have at length been recognised and adopted both in and out of Parliament. The propriety and policy of the great measures of 1834 and 1846 were fully and successfully vindicated by the Premier. The first, removed the stain of slavery from the British dominions, and declared that from thenceforth no human being should be deprived of his liberty, or kept in bondage by his fellow man, so far as England was enabled to prevent it. To obtain this magnificent result without injustice to any, the enormous sum of 20,000,0001. sterling was freely bestowed by the English Parliament, with the consent and approbation of the English people, and 800,000 persons were restored to freedom and placed in a position in which they might by their own independent exertions maintain themselves in comfort and prosperity. Many restrictions were, however, placed upon the obtaining of free labour, lest by any possibility the abominable traffic might be carried on under false pretences, and the planters were, perhaps, unnecessarily exposed to certain disadvantages which prevented them from enter ing into an equal contest with colonies in which slavery was still tolerated, and from enabling free labour to compete successfully with slave labour. In that respect, therefore, without at all retracing our footsteps, or permitting slavery in any manner, or under a n y form, to exist under the British flag, we are bou nd to grantb obtain n ver a y n facility to the planters to enable them totir shores. o tain t adequate supply of free labour , and too assisttheir pro moting an extensive immigr ation Many of the impediments h ave already been removed by the wise and sagacious re gulations introduced by the Noble Secretary for the Colones ; but some still i remain which it is desirable to abolish with all conve nient speed. Some assistance, too, may reasonably be granted to enable the parties to reap the full ad vantage of the be nefits placed within their reach. For this purpose, the credit of the parent state is to be placed at their disposal to the extent of 500,000/., in addition to 160,000/. already guaranteed by Par liament during the present session. These sums are either to be advanced on the security of the colonial revenues, or loans to be raised by the colonies, for the purpose of a bounty on the importation of immi grants, are to be guaranteed by this country. Other points are under consideration which will also mate rially conduce to the same end. The Africans who are liberated from slavery may, under certain restric tions and conditions, be sent to the West Indies to earn their own livelihood, in place of being supported in idleness at Sierra Leone. Why, however, should not those who have been rescued after having under , gone all the horrors of the middle passage, be at once carried, where their services may be made available. Very considerable expenditure, and much suffering occasioned by unnecessary journeys would thus be spared. On the second point the consumers have also been enabled to procure this necessary article at a much cheaper rate, while the national revenue has also been materially benefited, in consequence of the Act of 1846. The almost invariable result of a dimi nution of price being attended with a vast increase of consumption has been peculiarly remarkable in sugar. The tables last night brought for ward by the Noble Premier in contestably proved the truth of this assertion. We find that their increase within the last three years amounts to no less than 85,000 tons per annum. En couraged by this fact, the Government have determined to make a further reduction of duty, and accordingly the duty on colonial sugar is to be reduced after the sth of July next to 135., and afterwards to be further reduced a shilling each year until the duty reaches 10s., at which sum it is to be maintained. The duty on ordinary foreign Muscovado sugar is to remain according to the Act of 1846, but there is to be a new distinctive duty on brown clayed sugar, or of a quality equal thereto, which, for the year ending sth July, 1849, is to remain at the present duty of 205., and then to be reduced ls. 6d. a year until it reaches 10s. on the sth of July, 1854. There will be corresponding ' changes in refined and double refined sugars, and in white clayed sugar and molasses. The differential duty on rum is to be reduced to 4d., in accordance with the opinion of Mr. JOHN Wool), the Chairman of Excise. The permission to use sugar in breweries, will, however, probably be withdrawn. Such is an . outline of the Ministerial project, which, although it ; may not suit the views of the extreme men of any party, will be viewed with approbation by the moderate portion of the community. After the rejection of its decree against the ac knowledgment of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEAN as a popular representative—after the formal and deli berate rejection of that decree by the National As sembly—the Executive Commission of the French Republic cannot, with any consistency, or with any dignity, continue to hold much longer the reins of Government. It must yield that perilous sceptre which it has only been induced to grasp through a spirit of self-sacrificing patriotism. It must prove the accuracy of the assertion of LAaLARTINE, that one of the most conspicuous characteristics of the Commission was its peculiarly evanescent and ab sorbable nature. Justice, decency, honour, civism —all demand this unless (and there is this exception), unless the Assembly revokes its decision as to the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, and thereby affords the Executive Power more than one of the ordinary triumphs of an Administration. From the latest dispatches which have been received by ourselves from Paris it will be observed that there is every human likelihood of such a revocation ; and that it is probable the young Chieftain of the Bonapartists will be finally expatriated if he be not actually con demned as a traitor, and declared hors de la loi by that very Senate which had first of all banished him by acclamation only to recal their decision the very day afterwards, and to pronounce the validity of his election by the men of Paris, of Yonne, and of Charente-Inferieure. The letter addressed by the Imperial adventurer to the President of the National A ssembly is one of the most precipitate manifestoes any Pretender could by possibility have pronounced. It is absolutely, as though the representative of the Napoleonian dynasty had thrown the gauntlet of defiance upon the floor of the Republican Parliament before he had armed himself personally, much less before he had martialled his supporters. Prince .Louis NAPOLEON should have remembered that such insane tactics were altogether opposed to those of the lirector Gr y e 111 PElsoa ; he should have borne in mind that sup posinghnei his General proposedß 0 NAr c A o R u T E d had etat h a e n fe n r o e un ci c u e i d tti t u o g the e shores of Aboukir, the 9th d p ßrum . aire would, as far as the judgment of c s a h n eal e a termine, have . been . effec tually prevented ; he have considered again whether the Emperor NapoLe in such uninterrupted triumpho from Cannes to the h d ss could have marched Tuileries, supposing he had pub of his journey before the commencement a program me dition. But such reflections— l. they must obvi ous s t as of the his expe be to everybody else — could not present selves to such an imagi n ation as th a t of Princeein LOUIS NAPOLEON. The career which had been illustrated by the schoolboy exploit of Stras burgh, and afterwards by the pistol-shots at Boulogne—had to be worthily consummated, it had to be consummated with consistency, W i th such a consistency at least as might become the prisoner (not of If, but) of Ham. Such a necessity, if it really existed, has been fulfilled by the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON. His letter to the President is the seal of his destiny. He there, under all the sem blance of allegiance to the existing state of things in France, reveals his real after -thought by never once mentioning the word Republic. Beyond this, he whispers a significant hint into the ears of the French multitude—a hint pregnant with his intentions —" If duties are imposed upon me by the people, I shall know how to fulfil them. — Site peuple, 7'n: impose des devoirs, je saurai lee rem plir,"—a sentence that is equivalent to a declaration of his readiness to receive the imperial diadem upon his forehead, and to allow his hands, and his brow , and his bosom to be a nno i n t e d w ith t h e c h r i sm of consecration. So flagrant was the announcement of his intentions, that the whole Assembly was tran sported beyond itself with indignation—so flagrant was it that the hall shook with cries of "A bas les Pretendans !" cries which were nevertheless drowned in one vast and simultaneous shout of " Vice la Republique !" So flagrant was this letter of the 14th of June, 1848, that it was ex piated by a spontaneous apology, dated the very day afterwards by Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON himself. In the communication written from Lon don, on Wednesday, the Prince virtually declares war against the enemies of his cause, and rings the tocsin of a new revolution. In the communication of Thursday he strives, by every means in his power, to obliterate the recollection of his momentary fool hardiness, and for the purpose of doing this in the most signal manner, he gives to the National Assem • bly, as a guarantee of his patriotism and his sincerity, a voluntary resignation of the votes awarded to him by three separate and important constituencies. In acting thus, Prince Louis NAPOLEON has almost redeemed the folly of a moment ; an d hi s repentance is gracefully conveyed to the Republican Legislature. For inasmuch, therefore, as he has penned a document which will prevent a prolonga tion of anarchy, and possibly a great effusion of blood, the son of the ex-King of HOLLAND has nearly ren dered himself worthy of the gratitude of his fellow countrymen. Whatever may have been his errors heretofore, this resignation at least is no blunder. If a selfish ambition was revealed at Strasburgh, at Bou logne,pt and h a e tpatience ce castle w in so f t e h v e ii a t , e r during o f the e patriotismtlh4e t h in o f June, confinement he lett l e r 8 4 io B n; Thursday, and courage worthy of his great name always. Prince Louis NAPOLEON may rest satisfied that he will occupy a much higher place in the esti mation of French citizens, in the obscurity of his self-exile in the British capital, than if he were lead , ing a legion of veterans in the Champ de Mars. Another circumstance, arising out of this apolo getic epistle from London—a circumstance beyond the mere fact of the letter in question forming a new corroboration of the old adage, " second thoughts are best"—is the sudden change which the document gives to the position of the Executive Commission. The letter is a triumph for LAMARTINE. It is literally an acknowledgment from the Organ of the Bona partists that there was wisdom in the original propo sition of the poet-statesman. Although little less than the result of an accident, the second communi cation of Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE will tend to consolidate the Republican Government. TILE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1848 SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 11th have been received. The only intelligence of importance which they con tain is an announcement that the funds required for the payment of the July Government liabilities have been provided. The Bolsa was closed on the 11th. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Prince Louts NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has with characteristic want of judgment addressed a letter to the President of the Assembly, in which he all but announces his intention to endeavour to gain for him self the Imperial crown. "If the people impose duties upon me," says this would-be Emperor, " I shall know how to fulfil them." The reading of this letter excited the most intense indignation in the Assembly. M. JULES FAVRE, who the day before had strenuously opposed the passing of the decree of banishment against Louts NAPOLEON, rose and de clared that, after such a plain indication on the part of that Prince of the designs which he entertained, it was impossible any longer to support him, and it would be dangerous to suffer him to land in France. General CAVAIGNAC drew the attention of the Assembly to the fact that throughout the letter the word Republic was never once mentioned, whereupon the whole Assembly rose, and cries of " Vive la Republique', rent the air. The letter was referred to a Committee, and in all probability a decree a banishment against LOUIS NAPOLEON will be pronounced by the Assem bly. Considerable sensation was produced by the announcement of General CLEMENT THOMA.S, that from information he had received he considered it probable that there might be a Bonapartist outbreak and fighting on the morrow. The following is the letter of Prince Louis NAPO LEON to the President of the Assembly " London, Juno 14, " Monsieur le President,—l was about to set off in order to appear at my post when I learnt that my elee• Lion had been made the pretext for disorders and dis astrous errors. I repudiate all the suspicions of which I have been the object, for I seek not for power. If the people impose duties on me I shall know how to fulfil them—(Movement)—but I disavow all those who have made use of my name to excite disturbance. The name which I bear is above all a symbol of order, of nation ality, of glory; and, rather than be the subject of dis order and of anarchy, I should prefer remaining in exile. I send you enclosed a copy of the letter of thanks which I have addressed to all the electors who have given me their votes. Have the goodness, M. le President, to communicate this letter to my colleagues, and receive, &c., " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The utmost agitation followed the reading of this letter. A number of representatives quitted their places, and saitnated groups were formed in every part of the Chamber. Several Deputies rushed together to the tribune. The Minister of War said he should not express all his thoughts, but he could not help remarking that in the document just read, and which had become a matter of history, the word " Republic" was not even mentioned. ile pointed out this omission to the notice of the As sembly and of the whole country.—(Loud cries of " Vive la R 6 publique.") M. Baune must protest, in the name of all his col leagues, against the declaration of war of the Pretender. They would not have pretenders, but it was necessary that France should know how that imprudent citizen had responded to the generosity of the Assembly. lie handed over the letter which had just been read to its j ust contempt. M. A. Tliouret—From the emotion which animated all the Assembly, it was evident that all present were defenders of the Republic. He must, however, beg to point out one expression in that letter, "if the people impose on me duties I shall know how to fulfil them." That was in his opinion an appeal to revolt, and ho de manded that the Assembly should immediately decree that Louis Bonaparte had ceased to be a representative of the people.—(Loud and violent agitation.) The Minister of Commerce and of War were in the tribune. The Minister of Finance approached them and made some remarks, but which were perfectly inau dible from the extraordinary agitation which prevailed in the Chamber. The Minister of War remained alone in the tribune. The President—While the discussion was going on, and I was adding, that to the letter I had read was an nexed a copy of one sent to the electors, I received a menace of which I should wish to know the authors. Let the doors be instantly closed, it is a threat against the Representatives and against the President of the National Assembly. It is as follows :—" Citisens,—lf you do not read the address of the electors, I declare you to be traitors to the country." It is signed Auguste Blum, formerly a pupil of the Polytechnic School. This note is written by a madman. It has been announced to me as being written by a pub lic functionary, but I now learn that it came from an unknown person who threw it from the public tri• bune. That circumstance takes from it much of its gravity. Tht; Minister of War should make no proposition further than that the Chamber should adjourn the dis cussion till to-morrow. Several Voices—No, no. We must deliberate forth with; the writer of this insulting letter must be declared unworthy to form part of the National Assembly. Other Members—ln his letter of thanks to the electors, he speaks of the necessity of joining the flag of the Republic, but not of being faithful to the Re public. Some Voices—Adjourn to tomorrow. Other Voices—No, no. We must finish the matter forthwith. M. Jules Favre—There is In this Assembly only on© sentiment. A voice—That is not so sure. sa M p . ol J e u oon le f s Favre—l repeat what I said, and I am sure that the persons who thus interrupt me are not aware how much they insult the Assembly. I say that there is only one sentiment here—that of indignation.

Under the circumstances, I think that it will be moat dignified in you not to act in any way precipitately, but to suspend your decision until to-morrow.— (The utmost agitation.) M. Duprat demanded the suppression of the letter addressed by Louis Napoleon to the electors.—(Yea, yes; no, no.) General Clement Thomas said Citizens, a pro position has been made to you to postpone until to. i morrow this discussion. Well, then, if the information which has reached me be correct, it is in all probability a battle which you will have to fight to-morrow.--(Great agitation). I demand that you declare that any citizen who dares to take up arms to support the cause of a despot—(" Yes, yes !" " Viva la Wtpublique !")—shall be placed hors la loi—(Hear, hear. Agitation.) M. E. Arago and M. Duclerc both hurried to the tribune, but the noise prevented any one from being heard. The President—Gentlemen, in the midst of the various propositions which have been made, it appears to me that it is for the dignity of the Assembly not to make any alteration in the order of its deliberations. Let us not impart more importance than it deserve to an acci dent which after all may not be as grave as it at first appears. Let us maintain our order of the day. Besides, we shall have this evening a reunion de famille, at which we can speak of this matter.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman alluded apparently to his own reception in the evening. The ➢linister of Finance —Be certain, citizens, that the Republic will not perish because you postpone your del►beration. (Loud approbation. The whole Assembly rose and shouted "Viva la Republique!") The sitting was brought to a close at quarter past seven, a midst the greatest excitement The following is the letter of thanks addressed by Louis NAPOLEON to those who had voted for him : " London, June 11. " Fellow Citizens,—Your suffrages fill me with gra titude. This mark of sympathy is the more flattering to me as it was unsolicited on my part, and reached me at a moment when I regretted being inactive, when the country had need of all her children to extricate her from the difficulties in which she was placed. " Your confidence imposes on me duties which I shall kne w how to fulfil; our interests and our sentiments are the same . A child of Paris, now a representative of the people, I shall unite my efforts to those of my colleagues to rt- establish order, credit, and labour; to secure peace abroad, to consolidate democratic institutions, and re concile interests whichnow appear h os til e , b ecause par ties are struggling aga:nst each other, instead of working to one common eud—the grandeur and prosperity of the country. 44 Th e people have been free since February 24. They can obtain all they want without having recourse to brute force. Let us, then, all rally round the altar of our country under the flag of the Republic, and give to the world the grand spectacle of a people who have re generated themselves without violence, civil war, or anarchy, " Receive, fellow-citizens, the assurance of my de votedness and sympathy. " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The incidents in this Louis Napoleon affair follow each other with all the rapidity and unexpectedness of a melodrama. At the sitting of the Assembly yester day the President read a letter from Prince Louis NAPOLEON, resigning his seat. The announcement was received with loud acclamations. The following is a report of the proceeding in the Assembly yester day up to the time the post left. The Assembly met at a quarter past one : The President rose and said—l have an important communication to make to the Assembly.—(Deep si lence.) I have received a new letter from Citizen Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. It is dated " London, June 15," and was delivered to me this morning, by a person who left London yesterday evening at half-past eight o'clock. In order to obviate all chance of mistake or mystifica tion, I took every means to verify the authenticity of this letter. The bearer of it was M. Fred. Briffault, homme de lettres, residing of late in London, but at pre- sent at the Hotel de Hollande, Rue de la Paix, at Paris. He placed the letter into my hands this day at half-past twelve, and I firmly believe it to be from the person whose name it bears. Having premised so much, I shall now read the document to the Assembly:— "Monsieur le President,—l was proud of having been elected a representative of Paris and in three other departments—that fact was in my eyes an ample reparation for thirty years of exile and six years of captivity ; but the offensive suspicions which my election has given birth to, the troubles of which it has been the pretext, and the hostility manifested by the Executive Government, imposed on me the duty of refusing an honour which is attributed to intrigue. " I desire order and the maintenance of a Republic, wise, grand, and intelligent ; and since involuntarily I favour disorder, I beg leave, though not without deep regret, to place my resignation in your hands. " Soon, I trust, calm will be restored, and will per mit me to return to France as the most simple of her citizens, but also as one most devoted to the repose and prosperity of my country. " Receive, Monsieur le President, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. "LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." Loud approbation burst torth from all parts of the Assembly as the President concluded. The agitation which ensued lasted for some time. The President—As the admission of the citizen Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was pronounced with the reserve that he should prove his age and nationality, I think I shall act most correctly in transmitting this letter to the Minister of the Interior, to allow him to act on it as he may deem proper, with a view to a new election. This T was agreed to. _ _ M. St. Romme, in the name of the 7th bureau, ren dered an account of the electio❑ of M. Laissac for the Herault, and declared that it considered the Honourable Gentleman entitled to be admitted. Some discussion arose on certain facts relative to the return, and a long and confused discussion ensued, in the course of which an enquete was demanded. The question was then put to the vote by assis et kve; and, after one trial, pronounced doubtful by the Presi dent, the enquete was ordered. M. Bourdon presented the report of the Committee on the Bill demanding 2,000,000 f. to provide the work ing stock for the railway from Versailles to Chartres. The report declared that the Bill ought to be adopted, and durgence. The Bill was at once passed without a dissentient voice. M. Boulay (de la Meurthe) alluded to some case of oppression practised against the proprietor of a journal in the Vosges, relative to the caution-money by a Go vernment Commissioner. That being averred, be thought the Government ought to come forward and state what it intended to do with respect to the caution-money of journals. M. Bethmont, Minister of Justice, said that since the revolution of February, up to the present time, the Bill imposing a certain sum of caution-money on journals had been permitted to slumber.—(Ah ah !) But that by no means meant that the Bill was abrogated. It existed as before, with this difference, that of late it had been allowed to remain in abeyance. There was no doubt that the former state of things was liable to the reproach of having been unnecessarily rigorous. The Government intended to moderate the stringency of the measure— to moderate the sum required. The Government had not as yet decided preet,ely in what way the matter should be fixed, but it was inclined to arrange matters so as to content all seriously-thinking men, who would be satisfied with what should be done. It was evident that some guarantee must be given by the press to the Go vernment, and in that sense a moderate amount of cau tion -money was absolutely necessary. He had to ask the Assembly to have a little patience, as in a short time he would announce what the Government should have resolved on the question. M. Xavia Durrieu must declare that what had just fallen from the Honourable Minister agreed but little with the spirit of the Provisional Government after the revolution. Two questions connected with the press had then occupied the attention of newspaper proprie tors—one was the stamp duty and the other the caution money. A considerable number of gentlemen con nected with the press went to the Hotel de Ville and had an interview with the Provisional Government. It was then declared that the Bill on the caution-money should be abolished, but that as the Treasury was not in a very flourishing state, the sums which had been deposited by newspaper proprietors in the Treasury should not be to-demanded immediately, but should be allowed to remain with the Government for a certain period, spoken of as about a year. A new view being now taken of the matter, he thought it his duty to pro test in the strongest manner against any caution-money whatever being established on the public press.—(Oh.) The matter then dropped. M. Recurt (Minister of the Interior) presented a Bill demanding 300,000 f. for a revision of the lists of the National Guards liable to be called into active service in France, according to the laws of 1833 and 1834. The order of the day was the adjourned discussion on the Bill to unite Algeria to France. After some unimportant remarks from M. Dueoux, the Hon. Gentleman spoke in refutation of the Socia list ideas brought forward the day before by M. Pierre Leroux. General de Lamorciere declared himself altogether opposed to assimilating the colony to the same laws as existed in France, but he agreed with the Minister of War in thinking that the Assembly ought to proclaim that the colony belonged to France. He declared that the present Government had already done much to ad vance the colony. M. C. Didier ascended the tribune to speak in favour of the Bill, and against the views of General de Lamori. ciere. (Left speaking.) Outside the Chamber everything was quiet. Some workmen were collected, but not so many as in the morning. The public tranquillity was not disturbed during the whole of yesterday. The Moniteur does not publish the usual weekly return of the state of the Bank of France. BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, JUNE 16. THREE O'CLOCK.—A great deal of uneasiness was apparent at the Bourse, the Bonaparte question having added another item to the many complicated questiur.s at issue. The funds were weak, and the Bank of France Shares have declined in value in consequence of tho non-publication to-day of the usual weekly return. The Share Market was also flat. BUSINESS DONF, IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON ;STOCK-EXCHANGE, JUNE 16. Boulogne and Amiens, %I —Northern of France, 4% Paris and Orleans, 23—Tours and Nantes, 1%, Mr. Locke, M.P., has purchased the Round Ball and other estates., late the property of Mr. H. B.

CLIELTENIid,M, JUNE 16.—The friends of the' new Reform Leagv,e in this borough, having had a meeting to-day, W. G-yde, Esq., county magistrate in the chair. A petition to Parliament in favour of Mr. Hume's motion on the 20th inst., was unanimously agreed to, and is now in course of signature. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. We have received intelligence from Berlin to the 13th inst. The Whitsuntide holidays have passed off without disturbance. The Government has adopted measures for the protection of the Assembly. Half a battalion of the Civic Guard (500 men) is to be on duty every day at the Academy of Music, and a proclamation, signed by the President of Police, MINUTOLI, and Major BLESSON, forbids any crowd to gather in the space around the building, or in the grove behind the University. If the people do not disperse on being twice required to do so, the guard will clear the ground by force, and any person ar rested will be dealt with according to law. Great discontent is expressed at the little progress made by the Assembly with the Constitution, and this delay is attributed to the peasant deputies, who receive 9s. a day while the Assembly sits, and who, therefore, have a direct pecuniary interest in delay ing its proceedings. From the Polish frontier there are accounts of the gathering of an immense body of Russian troops, in three corps d'armee, destined, it is said, for Poland ; some statements send them ultimately to Prussian Posen, while others predict a Russian advance on Vienna and Berlin, and an utter annihilation of all revolutionary schemes. The disposition of the troops and the names of the commanders are given. The centre is under the orders of the EMPEROR himself, and is marching towards Vienna; the right wing, under ORLOW, is destined to Berlin ; the left, under PASRIEWICZ, is to take possession of Cracow and the borders of Silesia. The Oder Zeitung gives, as in telligence from Warsaw, a statement that the EM PEROR is about to publish a declaration that will exceed the most sanguine hopes and expectations of the Poles! This great movement is the preparation for it. It adds—" We may anticipate momentous events, which will verify what has been announced in many quarters, but hitherto to ears that heard not !" In St. Petersburgh it is stated besides that the Imperial Guard is under orders to march for the Polish frontier of the 15th. HAMBURGH. There was a riot at Hamburgh on Friday night, and some lives were lost in repressing the tumult . The crowd gathered by a fair held in the suburb of St. George attempted to force their way into the city after the hour of closing the gates (sunset) without paying the usual toll enacted from all entering after the thorsperre. The guard resisted, but were over come, and the people broke down the gates and threw them into the moat, afterwards setting fire to the two toll-houses and the Excise station, which were all consumed. The tocsin was sounded, and all the Civic Guard were soon under arms. The riot was repressed by two in the morning. It is stated that three citizens were killed. A great number of the people were wounded, as the guard charged them with the bayonet, but did not fire. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Admiralty Court of 'Copenhagen, on the 7th instant, condemned the following captured German ships, viz. : The Von Weickmann, Brandhoff, Danzig, cargo given up. The Selina, Duske, Danzig, cargo (with one ex ception) as good prize. . The Greif, Schmidt, Wolgast, cargo condemned equally. The Gute Hoffnung, Lepschinsky, Danzig, ditto. The Ellida, Sunftchen, Rostock, ditto. The Helene Ettine, Fischer, Leer, ditto. The Stadt Berlin, Hoenig, Danzig, ditto. The Edward, Krause, Stolpe, ditto. The Finke, Bregemaun, Papenburg, cargo free. The Caroline Ottilie, Hanke, Swinemiinde, ditto. The Bertha, Gran, Memel, ditto. On the 16th two other vessels were aiso con demned, viz., the Hellena Catherine, the Garrels, and the Minerva, Jungeblaed, both from Papenburg. By the Lion steamer, which arrived at Hull last night, we have received the Hamburgh papers of the 15th inst. The following are extracts :-- "FLENSBURG, JUNE 12. "The decision come to by the Confederation on the sth inst. affords the liveliest satisfaction to the German party. _ _ _ _ " It was confidently expected that General Wrangel would immediately advance, but it is not improbable that he will await the arrival of the announced re inforcements from Hanover before he assumes the offen sive. A portion of these reinforcements, consisting partly of artillery, arrived here to-day. Opinions are at variance as to whether Prussia will forward any aid or not. " A rumour was prevalent yesterday that the Danes had voluntarily abandoned the tete•du-pont which they had held in Sundewitt, and that they had also abandoned the island of Alsen. This is, however, suspected to be a ruse de guerre. " RENDSBURG, JUNE 13. It is reported that a corps of 1,400 Schleswig-Holstein troops, with cannon, which had occupied Hadersleben, had been compelled to retire before a superior Danish force to Iloptrup. " A Hanoverian battery of six cannon and two howit zers had just arrived here. " ALTONA, JUNE 13. " Prince Adalbert of Prussia has left this morning by rail for Rendsburg. " A largo Russian squadron was seen at anchor this morning between Moen and Eidsee. Our King landed yesterday from Sweden, and 4,500 Swedes have already arrived in Fuhnen, from Gothenburg; and in proof that the Norwegians are in earnest, it is stated that the three largest steamers had been converted to war purposes. "In Norway the equipment of twelve gun-boats is ordered; they are to be divided into three detach ments, with a steamer to each, and to proceed at once to Denmark. The frigate Frei& is to be got ready, and fully armed, and 1,450 sailors called out. "Letters from Copenhagen state that, in conse quence of the dispatches from England per Rob Roy, the embarkation of troops for the Danish islands was suspended." HAMBURGH, JUNE 14. The brig Ferdinand, Captain Groot, arrived at Port au-Prince from Liverpool, states that in latitude 36 54 and longitude 21 40, she fell in with an abandoned ship, named the Mary, of Liverpool, painted green, and so covered with barnacles that she must have been long deserted, but, owing to the roughness of the weather, it was impossible to board her. Business is quiet, and exchange unaltered. RUSSIA. A St. Petersburgh letter of the 2d says :—" The importation of works printed and published abroad has hitherto been allowed in Russia free from duty. Our Government, however, has now imposed upon all books and pamphlets, however small may be their size, a duty of 5 kopecks a volume; journals are to pay by weight, that is, five kopecks on every 480 French grammes, or as near as may be 17 ounces avoirdupois, English weight. Printed works, ad dressed to diplomatists resident in Russia, are alone exempt. During the last few years, the foreign works imported into Russia have amounted to about 700,000 volumes per annum. It remains to be seen whether the new duty will cause any reduction in this number." ITALY. "ROME. The Contemporaneo of Rome of the 6th publishes the new law on the liberty of the press. The censor ship is abolished. Every publication must bear the name of the printer and the place of publication. Clandestine publications are punished by fine and imprisonment. Public journals must have a respon sible editor. Attacks against the Church or its mi nisters, or against the temporal power of the POPE, or insults against foreign Powers or their Ministers, are punished with imprisonment for six months or a year, and a fine of from 60 to 100 scudi (600 f.) The law contains four chapters and thirty-two articles. HOSTILE DEMONSTRATION OF THE COMBINED ITALIAN FLEET. We extract the following from a letter dated Trieste, June 6 : " According to an agreement with Rear-Admiral Al bini, commander of the combined Italian fleet, Aus trian Lloyd's steamer, for the Levant, was to have sailed the day before yesterday. It did get under weigh when, to our great astonishment, it was ordered back by the Admiral on some frivolous pretext, to which he added that he hoped to drink a glass of wine with the captain that very night in Trieste. In fact, at eleven o'clock the combined fleet, consisting of eight frigates, three corvettes, and three steamers, approached the port and fired three guns without doing any damage. Our batteries returned the fire, and kept it up so briskly that the fleet was compelled to get beyond range, two firigates being much cut up in the rigging, and one steamer haviDg her bowsprit shot awaywhick was afterwards picked up by a boatman, and now adorns the hall of our National Guard, as a trophy. To-day the fleet was ♦isible from the Molo San Carlo, at anchor, about two cannon shot distant from our outermost bat tery, on the Istrian coast." MARKET NE W S.-( THIS DAY.) COVENT -GARDEN.

EXCHEQUER.-THIS DAY). (Sittings in Error). IN THE CASE OF THE BARON DE BODE. Mr. M. D. HILL applied to have this case placed at the top of the paper, with a view to its being decided on an early day. The Crown had interposed every obstacle in the way of a decision, and by its recent proceedings got the cause placed at the bottom of the paper. He trusted that the Court would in this instance depart from its usual rule, and give the applicant the opportunity of an early bearing. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that such a course would be most unfair to those having causes on the paper, and the Court could see nothing in the circum stances to warrant their departure from the usual rule. The application must therefore be refused. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. NEW COURiI. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman GIBBs.) THE CHARTIST RIOTS IN BISHOP BONNER'S FIELDS. George Couling, Dennis Callaghan, Thomas Jones, Henry Illman, lI illiam Moston, Henry Whitehead, George Blackburn, John Kingston, Thomas Hayes, and Charles Bailey, were indicted for unlawfully with others riotously assembling together to disturb the peace, and assaulting divers constables and police in the execution of their duty in Bouner's-fields on Sunday, the 4th June. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarke appeared for the prosecu tion; and Mr. Ballantine, Mr. Payne, and Mr. Parry appeared for several of the prisoners. Mr. BODKIN having addressed the jury for the pro secution, and detailed the occurrences that took place, which must be fresh in the recollection of our readers, called Inspector Shackell, who stated that he was in Bon ner's-tields on Sunday, the 4th of the present month. The prisoners at the bar were present on the occasion, and assisted in pelting and ill-using the police when they broke up the meeting. Witness was very much hurt himself. He saw the prisoners throw stones at the win dows of the church, of which about 35 or 36 panes were broken. Two meetings took place on the Sunday, at which several thousand persons were present. There were about 60 police stationed in the church, who were called out when the windows of the church were pelted and broken ; they were then under the direction of In spector Waller. Witness could speak positively to see ing Bailey and Callaghan throwing stones at the church, and the other prisoners were among the mob. Inspector Waller was at the meeting on Sunday, the 4th of June, and had charge of the police on the occa sion. As witness was returning from the church cries were raised of " There goes the K. inspector ; down with him." Witness was then attacked, stones thrown at him, which hurt him in several parts of the body, but not seriously. He succeeded in getting into the church, and immediately he heard the windows crash. Upon an in timation from Inspector Shackell, witness came out of the church with 41 policemen who had no other arms but their staves. Witness requested the mob to disperse, and upon his doing so another volley of stones were thrown at them: one sergeant and seven men were wounded ; there were several:cut in the head. Witness then directed the men to disperse the mob ; they at tempted to do so and were resisted by the mob most ob stinately, but ultimately the police succeeded. The police were again attacked by the mob before the City of Paris public house ; stones were thrown, but the po lice succeeded, after a good deal of trouble, in dispersing them. Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The police were in the church during the afternoon service. A portion of them marched into the church while the service was being performed. The police had nothing to drink, or any refreshment whatever. Saw none of the police drinking in the City of Paris public-house. The mounted police came up afterwards with cavalry swords. Could not say whether they were drawn or not. Could not tell how many police were at Bonner's Fields on Sunday the 4th of June. Did not see the mounted police riding about the field with their drawn cutlasses. Wm. Charles Potter, one of the police of the K divi. sion, saw the prisoner Couling take stones and throw al the windows of the church. David Kilgour, another policeman of the K corroborated the statemen of Inspector Waller. Witness was struck by the prisoner Illman with a bar of iron. He took him into custody with the assistance of a special constable. Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE—Witness struck Illman on the hack with his staff after ho had struck him. Francis Loader; another policeman, c orroborated the evidence of Kileour. Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE—Believed there were many persons who had their heads broke and otherwise hurt. If Illman was struck before he struck Kilgour witness did not see it. Witness saw Illman's head bleed ing, but that was after Kilgour had been struck. Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—CouId not tell how many heads, legs, or arms were broken by the police on Sunday the 4th of June. Did not know whether the London Hospital was crowded with pati‘nts in conse quence of wounds from the police. Saw the mounted police riding round the fi eld with their d rawn cutlasses, and the mob flying before them. When the police got to the City of Paris public-house they saw several persons sitting outside the house drinking, and they drove them all away. Frederick Shaw, another policeman of the K division, identified the prisoner Whitehead as one of the persons who threw stones at the police, and took him into cus tody. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLA.NTINE—Witness went to Bishop Bonner s. fields by order of Inspector Shac kell in plain clothes, in ord er t o see w h at s going on. Witness was not aware that Whitehead was hurt when he took him into custody ; he had either his hat or cap on at the time. If his head was cut open, it must have been done before witness saw him throw stones. Westby, K, deposed to taking two persons prisoner s ' and hearing Blackburn call upon the mob to res cue them. Another policeman deposed to Kingston's exciting the mob to fall upon the police, on taking him into Os' tody. Heard cries of Shame." Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—Kingston was r it into the vault of the church, with several others. Mr. PARRY—Then the vault was made a sort of cc' clesiasticil station-house ?—(Laughter.) Policeman—lt was.—(Continued laughter.) other Several other polic emen d e p ose d t o se eing the prisoners either exciting th e mo b or throwing stocest and several persons who had been sworn as special ceT: stables corroborated the statements made by the d i l l ferent policemen that had been examined. They a's° deposed to the fact of a great number of the police being severely wounded. Several of the inhabitants of the neighbeurlina of Bonner's fields deposed to the terror cau sed to the peaceful inhabitants of that neighbourhood by tfe. meetings that took place on Sunday the 4th of Juu,so the riotous conduct of the mob, and the forbearance the part of the police who had in several instances bee' violently used by the mob. (The trial had not concluded when our report left.) MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) ohs MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—CharIes Perkis e James, two ruffianly looking fellows, were placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having violently Police-constable Johnson, 82 C. h s tick- The complainant, whose head was bound 19 ' 3 " e ing-plaister, said this morning, about half -past bier o'clock, he was on duty in Greek -street, Soho, when attention was called to the two prisoners, who, withis; veral other men, were quarrelling with some fed i e d assaulted One of the latter called out " police," and witness erosri. over the street and desired them to move on.
