West. !j v btUillit LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1848. We carefully abstained from noticing or making the slightest allusion to the subject of the recent Chartist trials, so long as a single one of the cases re mained sub judice, s 6 id a jury had as yet to pro nounce its verdict on the guilt or innocence of any of the accused. The last and most important of these trials took ;place yesterday. In every instance the offences charged have been most conclusively es tablished against the several prisoners. The majesty of the law has been vindicated, and those who at tempted to disturb the peace and tranquillity of the entire nation, and to stimulate men suffering the privations consequent upen a general c essa ti on o f employment, to armed resistance against the authorities, are now undergoing the severe but salutary punishment due to the crimes for which they have been convicted. It is now, therefore, perfectly legitimate to direct the public attention to the serious character of these offences, to show that it was essential to the safety of the country that such proceedings should be nipped in the bud, and suppressed by force of law before matters had assumed a still more formidable aspect, and the unhappy dupes of those misguided men had been plu nge d i n to guilt of still greater magnitude, which could alone have been expiated by an ignomi nious death on the scaffold. It cannot be denied that the law officers of the Crown, in selecting the cases for trial, and also in preparing the indictments, tem- , pered justice with mercy, and exhibited a striking instance of forbearance. An example had become necessary to convince those who desired to effect changes in the law of the land by violence and in timidation, and to coerce those who conscientiously differed from their political views and sentiments, that the law was supreme, and that alterations and reforms, however desirable in themselves, could only be sought for by strictly legal and constitutional means. In doing so, however, none were prosecuted but the ringleaders, and those who, by the audacity of their language and the seditious and inflammatory sentiments to which they gave utterance, proved that they were ready to go to the utmost lengths in the dangerous course on which they had entered, to poison the minds of their hearers, and, if possible, to prepare them for becoming in turn instruments of mischief. Every person who was present, in any manner participating in the proceedings, was legally responsible for the consequences ; but none such were selected, and in no single instance can it be asserted that the party was not morally, as well as legally, guilty of the offences laid to his charge. There was no less leniency shown in the nature of the charges preferred. The indictments were for misdemeanour only, although, had the Government desired to inflict a heavier measure of punishment, convictions could as easily have been obtained under the recent Act, which would have led to the expatri ation of the convicted parties for a long term of years. It should be mentioned that there was no creation of a new crime in England by that statute. Under the law previously in force the parties guilty of that open and advised speaking might have been tried, and, if convicted, would have suffered death as traitors, The law was then assimilated in all parts of the United Kingdom, and while it was rendered more stringent in Ireland, where the privilege belonging to every British subject of full and free discussion had been most grievously abused, its severity was materially mitigated in this country. No reasonable complaint could, therefore, have been made if the Government had instituted proceedings thereunder, and if the fate of JOHN MITCHEL had been awarded to those who professed his principles, and strove to propagate them amongst crowded auditories of the poorer classes, who, without occupation or employ ment, were too ready to lend a ready cre dence to the insidious statements made, and to follow the fatal advice offered to them. It was not, however, necessary to go to such lengths in this country. The people generally had not been led astray—the magnificent demonstration of the lovers of order on the 10th of April had testified that there was no real danger beyond the temporary in convenience that might take place. The Executive could, therefore, afford to be merciful; a prolonged imprisonment of the offenders would show the power and determination to enforce the law, and to prevent a repetition of similar conduct, as well as their banish ment, and therefore the mitigated charge was only pressed against them. We cannot conclude without remarking on the contrast exhibited between the state of Lon don during the past week and of Dublin du ring the continuance of the state trials. There everything was excitement and feverish anxiety —here nothing more extraordinary was apparent than if some of the most paltry pickpockets had been placed on their trial ; and Messrs. FUSSELL, WIL LIAMS, VERNON, SHARPE, LOONEY, and JONES, are consigned to their respective cells without awaking one single emotion save of pity and contempt. The minority of Eighty-four must not be forgotten. Although Parliamentary Reform—as embodied in the motion of Mr HUME—has been denied to the popula tion of England by the House of Commons, that Reform has only been stayed off, not rendered impos sible ; it has only been impeded for a moment, not indefinitely postponed ; it has not been dropped into the bottomless pit of oblivion, but has been buried for a while only to prepare for a more glorious and trium phant resurrection. As far as the records of Hansard can influence us in such an opinion, it would really seem that questions of reform grow something after the fashion of asparagus— sprouting up fruitlessly for the first two or three seasons only to be lopped off, to wither away, and to rot into the ground, again to sprout up, again to be lopped off, and again to wither away—until the crop rises up at last in its real strength and maturity. Such is reform. Such was the progress of the famous measure passed in 1832 ; such was the progress of Catholic Emancipation ; such was the progress of negro emancipation ; such was the progress of free-trade in corn, and in other articles of mer chandise. The doom of procrastination is inevitable ; the ordeal of disappointment must be passed through ; the patience of the community must be exercised. Or, if we would have it otherwise—if we would avoid the misery of procrastination, the annoyance of disappointment, and the discomfort of compulsory patience—we must abandon the moral-force system for the physical-force system ; we must run the hazard of destruction instead of tarrying for the certainty of success; we must listen to the advice of the clever madman, JOHN MITCHEL, instead of listening to the rational and logical recom mendations of RICHARD COBDEN. Which shall we do ? How shall we act ? Reason, humanity, pa triotism, expediency—all give the same answer. We must wait I Not sullenly, or doubtingly, or in actively—but with resolution, with unanimity, with ardour in our exertions, and with a perfect confidence as to their result. So then let us act ; but mean while let not the minority of Eighty-four be for gotten. Since the popular movement began in real earnest with the commencement of the present century—no reform has ever, on its first introduction, experienced a defeat so singularly propitious. No first division upon a motion chalking out such enormous innovations has ever given such a splendid and auspicious minority—a minority of Eighty-four. Those eighty-four names are worth remembering, as the names of eighty-four real Reformers, staunch friends of the people, politicians entitled henceforth to the perfect confidence of their fellow-countrymen. Look at the names of those already familiar to the Parliamentary historian. Besides the two distin guished tellers JOSEPH HUME and RICHARD COBDEN, of whom it were superfluous for us to speak in terms of eulogium—there are such men as— CHARLES VILLIERS, the staunch antagonist of Pro tection in the days when to be a free-trader was to be an outcast from the political circles JOHN BRIGHT, the second man of the League—GEOßGE FREDERICK MUNTZ, the Member for Birmingham— THOMAS WAxLEY, of Finsbury—PEYRONNET THOMP SON, the author of Catechisms, as witty as Peter Plymley and as unanswerable as Peter Porcupine— RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE, of Middlesex—the Right Hon. CHARLES TENNYSON D'EYNCOURT, of Lambeth —Alderman HUMPHERY, of Southwark—the Right Hon. TRoaus MILNER GIBSON, of Manchester—the Hon. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, of West Gloucestershire —the lion. CRAVEN FITZIIARDINGE BERKELEY, the Liberal representative, who, as a long-tried, bold, and Radical Reformer, has just been returned for the fifth time for the borough of Cheltenham—Dr. Bow- RING, the Learned Member for BoIton—WILLIAM SHARE AN CRAWFORD, Of Rochdale —Gen. Sir DE LACY EVANS, of Westminster—WlLLlAM EwART, of Dum fries—GEOßGE THOMPSON, the eloquent representative of the Towernamlets—Osmax Ricaapo, of Worcester —Lord.INuoENT, the noble philanthropist who sits for the borough of Aylesbury —Sir BENJAMIN HALL, of Marylebone, with his noble colleague Lord DUDLEY STUART—besides sixty-three others, amongst whom —the most marvellous of all—must be especially re membered the gifted representative of Canterbury, the Honourable GEORGE, AUGUSTUS, FREDERICK, PERCY, SYDNEY SMYTHE ! These men, and especi ally the names we have enumerated, must not be forgotten. They deserve our recollection and they shall have it. When the ballot is gained, when the country is mapped into electoral dis tricts, when Parliament is triennial, when there is a household suffrage—and the day when all these things shall have been accomplished is by no means distant—the names of COBDEN, HUME, VILLIERS, the Bzair.ELßra, the THOMPSONS, BRIGHT, BOWRING, D'EYNCOURT, and their confreres, shall be remembered. We promise them that. We, who are compelled by our nature, by our inclination, and by our responsibilities into a perpetual vigilance. They shall not be forgotten. THE S UN, LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Paris was perfectly tranquil, but new arrests and new searches continue to be made every day. Among other houses which have been searched is the hotel of Queen CURISTINA, in the Rue de Courcelles. The LFgitimatists are, it is said, deeply implicated in the insurrection, and many of the elite of the Faubourg St. Germain have perished in the barricades. Among the slain the blouse and casquette of the workman has been frequently found covering the fine cambric shirt of the noble, and the small white and delicate hands which clutched the musket had evidently never toiled. None of the bodies thus discovered have been owned by ther relatives, although several of them have been recognised. The Journal des Debats says : " The investigation into the circumstances of the late insurrection is far from being terminated. MM. La caille, Puget, and Haequin, juges d'instruction ut the civil tribunal of Paris, and MM. Deusy, Vincent, and Rene Dubail, advocates, adjoined by the Government to the military commission, act permanently at the fort of Ivry. They have already heard upwards of 800 prisoners. It is in that fort that are detained the leaders of the barricades, the principal insurgents, and the presumed assassins of General Brea and Captain Mangin. One of these pri soners, the head of the barricade of Fontainbleau, re lates with a frightful cynicism that when General Brea perceived that he had been drawn into a snare, he came up to him and said, Friend, save me, and I will always regard you as my father—it is easy for you to save me!' A quarter of an hour after, the General was dragged into a guard-house and pierced with upwards of thirty balls. It was the same man who gave the signal and fired the first shot. Captain Desmaretz, of the 24th Regiment of the line, who escaped by means of concealing himself under a bed, has just identified Dain, Nourrit, and Milliard as parties concerned in that dreadful act. There are still 700 prisoners to be inter rogated at Ivry. Several insurgents have signified their readiness to make revelations. On their indications, 250 warrants were issued on Saturday, principally against marchands- de-vin, keepers of lodging-houses, and even some persons in a high position." The Union says— " The insurrection of June has mysteries yet un known. The Investigating Committee is on the path of great discoveries. We are informed that an insurgent, depositary of a terrible secret, has written a letter to M. Antony Thouret, representative of the people, to offer to reveal it to him, in exchange for his liberty, stating that on the secret depends the safety of the Republic. M. Antony Thouret, without prejudging anything on this grave proposition, instantly remitted the letter to the President of the Committee of Investigation." The number of prisoners alreaiy arrested amounts to 16,000. A meeting of the mayors of the arrondissements was held two days ago, under the presidency of the Mayor of Paris. At this meeting reports were re ceived of the results of the general or partial dis armaments in the different legions. The following account is given of them, and other subjects of dis- cussion : "The disarmament was greatly advanced in the Bth Legion, and was going on without any difficulty; but in some quarters it was not complete. To effect this, it was necessary to make further search with the concur rence of the Gardiens de Paris. The Boulevard Beau marchais remains still to be inspected. In several places considerable quantities of arms have been disco vere d ; particularly on the Quai Valmy, where 200 muskets were found in one depot. In the 9th Legion, the dis armament is completed. The magistrates have obtained 7,500 muskets, without reckoning those which, after the fight, were found in the houses which were occupied by the insurgents. And yet only 7,086 muskets had been delivered out by the authorities. In the 12th Legion the operation is terminated, and a great many more arms have been recovered than had been regularly given out. In the other arrondissements the disarmaments have been only partial. In the Ist Legion 11 companies have been disarmed, and 1,500 muskets brought in. In the 2d Legion only two companies have been dis armed completely, but there were to be also some par tial disarmaments; but the operation was not finished on Thursday. In the 3d Legion there were to be only some partial disarmaments; but some of these remained to be done, particularly in the streets near the Clos Saint Lazare. In the 4th Legion the operation was not finished. One company had completely dis armed. In the sth Legion the disarmaments were to be partial, but in this seven or eight companies are of neces sity to be disbanded. In the Bth Legion a complete disarmament of six companies is to be effected. In the 7th Legion the operation is to be only partial. A great number of arms have been found in wells and on roofs of houses, and it is expected that a much larger quan tity will be discovered. In the 10th Legion the disar mament is partial only, and has been made without any difficulty. In the 11th Legion the operation is not finished. Four companies were disarmed completely,but the arms have been partially returned. In general the disarmament was not met with any resistance, and has been dune with the greatest facility. We are assured that the meeting recognised the neces sity of a new law for meeting the various objections that presented themselves. It was con sidered desirable that no citizens living in fur nished apartments should be armed. At the same time the attention of the Mayor of Paris was called to the passports with money for the expenses of travelling to be delivered to workmen applying for them in order to return to their own countries, and it was resolved that the Prefect of Police should be requested to make the necessary arrangements. The mayors entered into the details of the service of the ateliers nationaux, and of the relief to be given to the workmen at their own homes. In all parts the ateliers nationaux have disap peared, and relief at home if afforded, in concurrence with the Bureaux de Bienfaisance, to all who are in want of it. In some arrondissements the gratuitous services, in this distribution, of the National Guards have been required and accorded, in others salaried agents are employed. In most of the arrondissements the late brigadiers of the ateliers nationaux earnestly desired to be employed in the distribution of relief at home, but the mayors have all rejected their offer, being resolved not to . leave a germ of the o rgan i zat i on of the ateliers na t ionaux. In general the relief has not exceeded Bf. a week, and it was agreed that it should be distributed with the greatest discernment, so as not to become any obstacle to the resumption of work. The meeting received with satisfaction an ac count that the paper manufactories had resumed acti vity, and that the cabinet-makers had received some orders. The mayors stated that they willingly received applications for work, and would act as mediators be tween the masters and the men in any questions which might arise, and would strike out of the relief-list all such men who might refuse to take such work as was offered to them. Finally, several of the mayors have called to the attention of the chief administration em ployment of women. It would be desirable if the mayors of arrondissements were enabled to distribute work at home to such women as are in need. This would be a means of reducing, by real work, the assistance granted by the Administration. The meeting, before it broke up, on the proposal of one of the mayors, expressed a wish that measures should be taken by the Government to revive work and assist the necessary resources." General BEDEAU has at length consented to accept the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs. M. PROUDIION, the Socialist Member for Paris, and the proprietor of the journal called the Representant du Peuple, the gentleman who recently proclaimed the doctrines that " property is theft," and " family a prejudice," has proposed that there should be a confiscation for three years of all rents, whether of lands or houses, with a third of the interest received by mortgagees, and of the incomes derived from the public funds, &c. ; one half of this he would give to the state, and the other half to the shop-keepers, lodgers, and all who are in want. In commenting on this scheme of wholesale plunder, the Constitutionnel says:-- " The question is no longer for the writer to sustain, as if for a wager, the detestable paradox, that property is a robbery ; the question is to carry his views into practice, to take back from the landlords the third cf their revenues for the advantage of their tenants, their farmers, their debtors, and the State. But of two things, one—either M. Proudhon really is of opinion that pro perty is a robbery, and in that case the robbers ought to be made to give back, not the third, but the whole of what they have unlawfully taken from the public ; or M. Proudhon is not convinced of the truth of his doctrine, and then his plan is nothing more than a proposition .of. legalized robbery. It is at the same time a leaven of hatred thing down amongst those who would have to lose and those who would have to gain in the execution of this plan of spoliation. M. Barbes, on May 15, wanted to take a milliard from the rich ; the insurgents of June inscribed pillage as the device on their flags. M. Proudhon proposes to decree at the same time . a forced taxation and legal pillage ! Such is the whole groundwork of communism I " We shall not attempt to discuss this odious extrava gance. It is much better at the present moment to ap peal to th e goo d sense of t enants , w h o w ill certainly comprehend that at a period when the financial situation of the country is recovering itself, from the mere fact of all at the Gov e r nmen t h as announce d i ts i n t ent ion to faithfully keep a ll t h e engagements • o f t h e state; a re spectdra revive, tvdi for ovonef, ottfhhet a ah l I p a r b iv o a u t r e engagements is the paramount duty t e good citi zens, o f a l l s i ncere fr i ends of the country Republic.workingd should classes f s it be is should be et reanimatedha t, ameliorated, c t h re a d t i t t h se con dition d that money sho u ld get into circulation; that the pros perity of France should resume its course, it is necessary that the rights of th e l an dl ords should be protected not on ly by the firmness of the G overnment and the watch fulness of justice, but by th e good sense of the servants themselves. After alluding to the readiness with which landlords have come for war d to meet the pressure of the time with regard to - their tenants, the Conetitu tionnel proceeds—" it may be remembered that in April last, in certain quarters, a system of refusing to pay rent was adopted, and the landlords wh o refused to yield to the exigencies of their badly-disposed tenants, were subject to all kinds of threats and ill-treatment. I n some places furniture was removed in open day in spite of any remonstrance or rosistance6 in others, intimida- TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1848. tion of all kinds was used; black flags were placed at the windows, the effigies of the landlords were hung at the door, and even threats of death put forth, and the flags and illuminations employed as signs of rejoicing became the means of forcing the landlords to abandon their rights. "If this state of things were to continue, property would become annihilated. Many of the landlords would be unable to meet their engagements, to pay their taxes, or to provide for their families. A general de preciation of property would thus take place, which would involve both landlord and tenant in the same ruin and misery, and condemn them both to the direst want. "Such Cannot certainly be the intention of honourable and patriotic citizens. They have taken up arms in the ranks of the National Guards, when on the 16th April Paris reduced to nothing ahandful of factious men to the cry of 'A Las le Communisme !' and they fought in the terrible days of June those ferocious insurgents who, had they have gained the mastery, would have decreed pil lage, and annihilated property." On Saturday the report of General OuDisoT, in the name of the War Committee, was distributed to the Representatives. The report proposes that the effec tive force of the army in Paris and the environs shall, from the 20th of this month, and until otherwise ordered, be 50,000 men at least, and that they shall be so placed as to be able to be concentrated in Paris in less than a day's march. The Committee does not fix any period during which this force is to be main tained, but makes it dependent on the general inte rests of the Republic and the decisions of the As sembly. From returns presented by the Minister of War, it appears that sixty-three battalions of in fantry, forming an effective force of 47,250 men, can be brought to Paris or the environs, as also fifty-two squadrons of cavalry, consisting of 6,000 men, in all 53,250 men, without including the special of sedentary corps of artillery, engineers, gendarmerie, and veterans, and the battalions of the garde mobile, amounting to 15,000 men. At present, the total number of troops in Paris and the vicinity is 45,000. The journal of the Abbe DE LAMENNAIS (the People Constituant), and that of M. PRUDIION (the I?epre sentant du People) have been suppressed by an order of General CAVAIGNAC. The project for imposing a heavy legacy duty on successions was yesterday considered in the bureaux of the Assembly. In most of the bureaux the Mem bers declared themselves against the measure. The heart of General N EGRIER was yesterday trans ferred from the Hotel de Ville to the Hotel des In valides, in the vaults of which it is deposited. A great many general officers, and a large body of National Guards and troops of the line, attended, as well as a deputation from the Assembly, and most of the members of the Government and other public authorities. The vase containing the heart was re ceived at the Hotel des Invalides by Marshal OUDI NOT, and deposited by him in the vaults along with the remains of a great number of the greatest war riors of France. The National Assembly met yesterday at a quarter past two. The President read a letter from the Committee of Inquiry appointed to examine into the circumstances connected with the late insurrection, stating that as M. Landrin, one of the Members, considered that he might be called on to appear as a witness relative to the events which had preceded that crisis, thought it advisable to give in his resignation. The Committee fully appre ciated the delicacy of sentiment which had prompted this conduct, and had to express their regret at being deprived of the co-operation of their colleague. " The National Assembly will now," said the Hon. President, " have to decide whether it will be advisable to replace M. Landrin or not. The Committee have been sitting for a fortnight, and perhaps it may not be unattended with inconvenience to now introduce another person amongst the Members who has not been present at all the proceedings. What does the Assembly decide?" It was decided that no person should be appointed in M. Landrin's place. The President—l have also the melancholy duty to inform the Chamber that I have received a letter from the testamentary executor of General Duvivier, inform ing me that that distinguished officer had expired on Saturday morning at half-past four o'clock. His last thought was given to France, which he always loved so well, and for which at last he gave his life. I think the Assembly will agree with me in the propriety of sending to the funeral of our deceased colleague a grand deputa tion of fifty Members.—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") The names of fifty representatives were then selected by lot. The President had also to state, that on Saturday he and several of the Vice-Presidents, accompanied by the Bishop of Orleans, one of the representatives, had visited the civil and military hospitals in the name of the National Assembly. They had found that 1,500 patients still remain in these establishments.—(Sensation.) " We beheld," said the Honourable President, "much suffering in the course of our said tour ; but we also perceived marks of the greatest resignation. As much as the pa tients manifested courage and resolution in the late con flict, so much do they now exhibit calm and patience in their hour of suffering. We everywhere assured them of the sentiments of interest which actuate the National Assembly with respect to them, and in all cases our words were received with every mark of gratitude. We also heard on every side the strongest declamations in favour of order and liberty. —(gear, hear.) I cannot conclude without paying a proper tribute to the devoted ness nsisifested by the medical men, the dressers, the sisters of charity—in fact, all the persons engaged in affording the necessary cares to the patients. Intelli gence has been received as to the state of our colleagues Bixio and Dorns. The wound of the former is making but slow progress, but strong hopes are entertained of his eventual cure ; as to Domes, he is going on satis factorily. I have also to say that General Bedeau is in a way of cure, and that he will appear a m ongs t us be fore long."—(Marks of satisfaction.) A Representative—l can state that the accounts from the hospital of the Val de Grace state that General Da mesme, though still suffering from fever, is going on favourably.—(Hear, hear.) The order of the day was the discussion on the Bill to encourage the voluntary engagement in the army of young men of from seventeen to twenty years of age. The only point of interest was a declaration from M. Senard, Minister of the Interior, who stated that the object of the Bill being to furnish to the young men in national workshops a means of provision for the future, he thought it right to say that though these establish ments were dissolved, the same necessity still existed for the adoption of the Bill. The Bill was then adopted. The Assembly next adopted without opposition the Bill demanding a credit of 500,000 f. for hospitals and other charitable institutions. The Bill, according a pension of 250 f. a year to such of the Guard Mobile as had been decorated for their gal lant conduct during the late insurrection; was also adopted, without remark. The Bill demanding 500,000 f. for the service of tho secret police was next brought forward. The Minister of the Interior wished to observe that the credit demanded was evidently not sufficient, parti cularly after the deplorable events which had lately taken place. The Government, however, thought it better not to demand any larger sum at present. When the credit now granted was exhausted, the Government could again come and demand funds from the Assembly. As to the additional article proposed by the Committee, that a Special Commission should have the power of examining how the funds were expended, the Govern ment accepted it fully. M. Creton observed that it was most essential that the adoption of the Bill now under examination ought not to be considered as drawing a sponge over the accounts of the Provisional and Executive Governments. Such an act would not be worthy of the attention which the As sembly ought to pay to everything relating to the ex penditure of funds, nor would it be just towards the Governments which had directed the affairs of the coun try up to the late insurrection. Ho trusted light would be thrown on this matter. M. Garnier Pagi , s observed that undoubtedly the As sembly had a right to inquire into and verify all accounts connected with the Government. He had, when before the Finance Committee, demanded whether it would not be its pleasure to have a full and detailed account brought before it of the expenses of the Government, from Februrry 24; the Committee had considered such a course advisable, and had ordered the accounts to be sent in. He would say that the Executive Committee, far from having any objection to that course, on the Contrary, were most anxious to have a full statement laid before the Assembly.—(Hear, hear.) M. Pagnerre observed that the accounts would be all ready to be presented in a few days. The Bill was then adopted. The next order of the day was the discussion on the Bill to regulate the service of the short-hand writers employed to take down the discussions of the Assembly, but on the proposition of a Representative to postpone it until the budget of the Assembly was fixed, the discus sion was deferred. The Assembly then resolved itself into a Secret Com mittee, to consider the budget of the Chamber. The public tribunes were cleared at four o'clock. it being understood that the public: sitting was over for the day. It was rumoured yesterday in the National Assem bly that M. ARMAND MARRAST had resigned the office of Mayor of Paris. The Orleans Railway Company intends to contract a loan of ten millions of francs. BOURSE—PARIS, JULY 10. THREE o'CLocx.—There was a stormy reaction at the Bourse to-day, which may be attributed principally to the too rapid rise of last week. There is no doubt, however, that it was partly occasioned by the uneasiness now felt as to the designs of the Communists, who are said to be preparing a new movement. The Bank of France fell no less than 150 f., the returns published yesterday being more unfavourable than was expected. For the account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 2f. 50e.; Five per Cents. have fallen lf. 75c. For money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 2f. 25c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 2f.; Bons du Trosor are at 14f. 1 die.; Bank of France Shares have fallen 150 f.; Belgian Bank Shares are not quoted; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., not quoted; Roman has fallen l per cent.; Rothschild's Receipts have fallen per cent. Railway Shares for the account, settling of July 13, have fallen 30f.; Marseilles, 11f. 25c.; Northern, 21f. 50c.; Lyons, 2F. 50c. The others are not quoted. For Money the Orleans have fallen OF.; Rouens, 30f.; Ilavres, 301.; and the others in the same proportion. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 10. . . . _ .

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The expectations of the peace with Italy, which wore for a moment entertained at Vienna, have dis appeared. Austria endeavoured to impose upon Ger many a debt of 250,000,0001., and to retain the Vene tian provinces. Not only have these proposals been rejected, but CHARLES ALBERT intends to comprise the Italian Tyrol in his kingdom. of but little consequence. The very same informa tion is contained in another letter, written by an other of the prisoners to his brother. We must how ever observe that it is not the fault of General WRANGEL. We refused to regard the Schleswig prisoners as insurgents, which the Danes insisted upon in the terms of exchange. These minute details of the actual state of things are most carefully kept from the prisoners, and it would appear that even the Ministers do not hesitate to give a false colouring to facts in order to excite the hatred and indignation of the Schleswigers against their lawful authorities. HADERSLEBEN, JULY 4.—The general in command arrived here yesterday from Christianfeldt, and it is inferred that he will establish his head-quarters at this place. The north is garrisoned and protected. Ge neral BONIN is established in Christianfeldt, Prince FREDERICK in Wogensguard, and further west the frontiers are patrolled by the outposts. No one anti cipated so speedy a retreat of the enemy, considering that the place is calculated for defence even against a superior force. The armies, however, are now about equal, being from 16,000 to 20,000 men. General WRANGEL appeared in the Schleswig-Holstein camp a few days since, and heartily thanked the Prince for his late able conduct of the troops as well as for his admirable bearing. Our men are in high spirits, and if it should come again to an encounter would certainly fight the Danes most manfully. A speedy cessation of the war is generally expected here. GOD grant that it may be concluded without a sacrifice either of the country or of the people. Should the Danes again occupy the finest part of the country the emigration of the greater part of the in habitants would immediately take place, for they would recognise in such a proceeding the germs of a new war. HUNGARY. The KING has appointed the Archduke STEPHEN his Viceroy in Hungary, and the neighbouring countries. The Archduke STEPHEN is to sanction the projects of law of the Hungarian Diet, and exercise all those rights which the Hungarian Con stitution reserved exclusively to the KING. The KING has also given his promise that he will take up his residence in the capital, with his family, in the course of this month. KOPUTIi, the Minister of Finance, has remained in the Cabinet, MESSUROS, the Minister of AVar, and SZEMURE, the Minister of the Interior, having de clared that they would not remain in without Ko- PUTII. Indeed it would be impossible at the present moment to form a new Ministry in Hungary which was not animated with the guiding spirit of KOPUTrJ. Four regiments of cavalry have received orders to march to the threatened points. A Hungarian ge neral has been dispatched with the supreme command to the Bannat. From Szegedin downwards on both banks of Theis very strong forces are stationed, both of military and National Guards. FRANKFORT. THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the Bth instant, AUEASWALD'S report on the armed force of Germany came under discussion. The main features of this report are the follow ing The military force of Germany consist at the present moment 1. In the federal contingents 'according to the federal enrolment of 1819, which amount in round numbers to 403,400 men Deficiency in the obligatory contingents 6,000 „ Remainder 2. In these troops supplied by Prussia, Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Hano ver, and others of the larger States, over and above their stipulated ratio of contingents, these amount to 88,900 men; deduct 15,000 for recent changes and casualties, and we have a re mainder of 73,000 „ 3. In the contingent troops of those parts of the Prussian territory which have but lately been received into the Ger man Confederation, these amount to about 40,000 „ Total 510,000 men The report does not regard this number as sufficient to secure Germany against foreign invasion; and moreover, it does not consider the number of disposable troops to ex ceed 428,000. It therefore proposes that the National As sembly be pleased to call upon the German Governments to increase their contingents, that the aggregate denied force of Germany may amount to 908,000 men, thus requiring an additional levy of 480,000 men. This is only to be a preliminary step to the general arming of the people. With a standing army of 900,000 men, it is considered that Germany will be enabled to withstand all possible invasions. liadowitz proposed the raising of a powerful land wan., to consist of young men of twenty to twenty-five years of age. . _ Wiesner disapproved the motion of the committee, and suggested a national guard of 500,000. Mayer did not consider that any hostilities were to be apprehended on the part of Russia. Germany, in case of foreign invasion, might well trust to its own resurces, and its safety could not bo better ensured than by placing itself in the position proposed by the committee. Blum would not hear of a standing army, it wi always the organ of tyranny. The discussion was adjourned. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, JULY 6.—The Zeitungs/alle says the report that M. MARCKER will quit the Ministry, in consequence of a difference of opinion respecting the elections of the jurymen for the new courts of the trials by jury, is confirmed. M. TIANSEMAN wishes to connect this election with a census, to which M. 'MARC/ ER is decidedly opposed. Accordingly the Ministry would again be as good as dissolved, for it is affirmed that M. VON AUERSWALD has also re quested his dismission. Hamburgh .Borsenhalle, July 7. At the close of the debate in the Prussian Na tional Assembly, on the 4th of July, M. AUERSWALD made the following declaration : " Upon first accepting office, the Cabinet devoted most serious attention to the German question. His Majesty's Government, as well as the Frankfurt Na tional Assembly, being convinced of the necessity of a provisional executive power in the person of a general administrator, hailed with joy the election of the Arch duke John, whose noble and popular character offers the best guarantee for a solid Government. We are disposed to believe that his Imperial Highness will accept office, and we cannot call to mind any circumstance that should cause these functions to be vacated by him. We approve of the salutary decision by which the administrator is rendered irresponsible; nor do we object to his enjoyment of the attributes of power from the 28th of June (that is, from the day of election). It must, however, be pre liminarily understood (nut seta sick voraus) that the (Frankfort) Assembly must not conneet previous with future decisions as to peace or war. If these Frankfort decrees (regarding the war with Denmark) were pro nounced without the previous knowledge of the late Cabinet, then we are ready to admit the pressing urgency of circumstances as a satisfactory motive; but we must consider this an extraordinary case, not to be taken as a precedent for the future. We start on the ground that the work of union may be brought to bear through the union of all. If we build a house, we erect it on the principle of adherent unity, so that it may resist the storm. Hist o ry w ill b e the judge of all. May those who cast an eye upon our tombstones read these words—He lived in 1848, and was the son of our German fatherland." At the meeting of the Assembly on the 7th July, Dr. JACOBS of Berlin rose and asked leave to move— " 1. That the Prussian National Assembly cannot ap prove of the vote of the German National Assembly, which has constituted a national irresponsible adminis trator. 2. That the Prussian Constituent As sembly acknowledges the full right of the German National Assembly to come to such conclusion without consulting any Governments ; and that the Prussian Government is not justi6®d in making objections in this respect."—(Leave granted.) The question will, therefore, come on for debate in a day or two; and as the President of Council openly declared on Tuesday that the Government would not admit the right advocated by Dr. JAcons, he and his Cabinet must resign if outvoted. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. STRALSUND, JULY 3.—An English brig lying in our harbour has hoisted the Danish flag for the last week. This unequivocal insult to German nationality in a Prussian harbour, though, of course observed by the authorities of the harbour, was not prohibited by them. Several young seamen of Stralsund, whose patriotism took fire at this arrogance of the English, last night carried off the Danish flag from the English brig. The captain was dreadfully enraged that the Germans had stolen his flag, and swoie awfully at them. Early this morning, however, it was seen Boating from its former elevation, with the addition of a large ape's head, painted in striking colours, amid the hurrahs of the German seamen. " These arrogant English," cried they, " are taking the bread out of our mouths this summer. It is notorious that they hold more with the Danes than with us ; but we will not suffer them to heard us in our own barbour." With many vociferations the captain ordered the flag to be taken down. RENDSHURGIT, JULY s.—We give the following extract from a letter found on one of the prisoners on board the Dronning Maria, dated July 2 : " Our situation is becoming more intolerable, and I cannot imagine why the exchange of prisoners is so long delayed. Both the Ministers LEHMANN and YSEHERNING had been on board. The latter said to one of my fellow prisoners, in reply to his petition, that the monied men might be released. I have Already three times proposed to General WRANGEL an exchange of prisoners, but he would not hear of it. " Hook upon you as prisoners of war, your Gene ral, however, does not appear to consider you as such." The exchange of the federal troops has already taken place, but it seems that our release is thought THE ARMISTICE IN SCHLESWIG. HULL, MONDAY NIGIIT.—The Helen MacGregor, Captain FROST, arrived at seven o'clock this evening. She brings Hamburgh letters and papers down to the Bth inst. Since Thursday 2,000 Prussian troops have passed through Hamburgh to join the army in Schleswig, and 3,000 were expected by Tuesday next. It was reported that the King of PRUSSIA declined to ratify the treaty proposed by England and Russia without the consent of the Germanic Parliament, which was not expected to confirm it. The feeling against the proposed terms of the treaty was very strong among the Germans. The account; received from Copenhagen to. day are still warlike, and the nation is fully prepared to con tinue the contest with renewed vigour ; they say that the Germans cannot ratify such a treaty, and if they do not, assistance is certain to be given to Denmark by other Powers. POLANI). UNEXAMPLED BRUTALITY OF THE PRUSSIAN TROOPS. The village of Stempuchow, in the district of Wongrowier, belonging to M. MOSZIZENSKI, has been three times searched for arms by the Prussian soldiery. They plundered the house of the proprietor, fired after the flying villagers, flogged several among them, carried off whatever they thought worth anything ; and when they had nothing more to take, they seized a girl of seventeen years, MARIANNE TAGODZINSKA ; four among them held her down, whilst seven others violated her person. After this unheard-of act of brutality an officer came up, and seeing the girl covered with blood, he offered her—in order to pacify her—a dollar, which she flung back with indignation. The poor girl is now lying in a most precarious state. During the search for arms the corpses of the proprietor's ancestors were flung out of their family grave. The above was sworn to by two eye-witnesses, JOSEPHA GULEWIG and ANDREW LIPINSKI, and the person communicating this to the Gazeta Polska, (June 23), offers to prove the facts before any court of law. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. JASSY, JUNE 26.—A dispatch has just been re ceived from the Consular Agent at Jassy, to the fol lowing effect : " JASSY JUNE 26.—1 n Wallachia, Prince Bibesco, in compliance with the wishes of his pesple, bas accepted the constitution, and has formed. a committee of eight members. " The Russian General Dichamel, who left Bucharist for Reussich-Leona, by the i'ruth, has returned to Jassy, and has communicated to the Turkish commis sioners that a Russian army of 25,000 men, cavalry and infantry, had entered the Moldavian territory, and might be expected this evening at Jassy. " A portion of the army had remained in Moldavia to protect the Government of Prince Stourdza, and the greater part of the army was continuing its route to Wallachia. " Even before the first intelligence of these events i❑ Wallachia had been received here, the Turkish commis mission had dispatched a courier to Constantinople to give orders to the Turkish troops to enter the princi palities of the Danube." ITALY. LOMBARD Y. The siege of Verona is postponed till the second week of July, and it is exceedingly problematical if it will take place even then. The Ventidue Alamo of Milan, of the 4th, an nounces that the Provisional Government of Lom bardy has invited General Zuccnr to Milan, where his long military experience may be profitable to the Italian cause. On the 29th ult, the Civic Guard of Venice being assembled on the Campo de Marte, cried " Viva CARLO ALBERTO I" and the President harrangued them, recommending the fusion of Venice with Piedmont. His words wer e received with loud cheers. NAPLES. The Piednzontese Gazette of the sth publishes a letter from Naples of the :30th, announcing as cer tain the defeat of General NUN ZIANTE in Calabria. No particulars had transpired, except that the con flict was a very desperate one, and that the Cala brians fought hand to hand with the military. The artillery has fallen into their hands ; a column of 500 soldiers who had been cut °lf from the main body had taken refuge on board the Archimedes steamer. Major LEBZANY is killed. Nothing is known about the fate of NUNZIANTE. SPAIN.. Madrid papers of the sth have. been received. The Bank of St. Ferdinand was, it was believed, in a position to meet all its obligations. It was re ported that the QUEEN'S troops bad been defeated by CABRERA. The Heraldo states that Sala manca has joined the Mon temolinist party. MADRID, BOLSA, JULY s.—Three per Cents., 20i Five per Cents., 12i ; exchange on London, 42 50. BIRMINGHAM AN I) OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY.---(THIS DAY.) The adjourned special general 112 eeting of the proprie tors of the Birmingham and Oxfo rd Junction Railway was held this morning at the King.' s Arms Hotel, in Pa lace-yard. Mr. William Mathews in the chair. There were only two shareholders presen3, one of whom moved and the other seconded that the 3m,eeting do adjourn till this day week, at the same place na id hour. The motion was put from the chair, and, of C , Jurse, carried unani mously. Mrs. William Mitchell, siTLl'e of Mr. William Mitchell, lessee of the Olympic Theatre, New York, and formerly known to the Lend( at public as a favourite comedian at the Covent-garden and New Strand Theatres, has arrived in London, from America, by the Acadia steamer, for the purpose e f engaging some pro fessionals of high standing in the metropolis. Miss Julia Bennett, of the Haymarket a'heatre, has received a most liberal offer to join Mr. Mi ti:thell's company in the ensuing winter.

The Huddersfield Improvement Bill was read a se cond time. POOR LAW (IRELAND). Colonel DUNNE presented a petition praying for an inquiry into the whole of the present poor-laws in Ire land. SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the Com mittee on Sugar Duties. The CHA'iICELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the insertion of the " 10th day of July" in the place of the " sth day of July," which was agreed to. The report as amended Was then agreed to, and a Committee appointed to bring in a Bill embodying the resolutions. ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL. The adjourned debate on this Bill was then resumed. SADLIER said the lion. Gentleman (the Solici tor General) in describing the object of this Bill, stated that it would have the effect of doing away with re ceivers in chancery, and of giving a fresh and clear title to property in Ireland, but he asked what portion of the Bill could warrant that assertion? He objected to the machinery of the Bill, believing that it would not do away with expensive litigation nor prevent fraduleut and collusive sales of property. He was as anxious as any one to see the number of small resident landowners in creased in Ireland, but the Bill would not promote such an object. The intricate and complex nature of titles made it necessary for the House to exercise great caution, so as to prevent the commission of fraud, which might now be perpetrated with great faci lity. What was wanted in Ireland was a prac tical and comprehensive measure, diminishing the expense and curtailing the delay in the sale and disposition of landed property, and giving faci lity for the better administration of the proceeds of the sale. If, however, any Member thought that the Bill, as it at present stood, would effect such an object, ho would find himself grievously disappointed. He had no serious objections to the measure as it came from the House of Lords, and ho felt bound to say that he firmly believed that the Government were desirous sincerely of passing a useful and practical one, but the Bill in its present state he could not assent to. Sir J. GRAHAM had long looked for a measure like the one now before the House on the present state of Ireland. He must confess that be did not like the measure as it came down from the House of Lords, but ho looked upon it with hope since it had been amended by the Solicitor-General, whose speech was worthy of him as a lawyer, and bearing the great and venerated name he did, and also as the Solicitor-Ge neral. He thought the objection of delay and expense which the Bill would entail was well worthy of the con sideration of the House; but he thought the pro position of the Solicitor-General would greatly tend to relieve that delay and expense.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He thought every encourage ment ought to be given to the sub-division of land—(Hear, hear)—and he was anxious to reunite to the soil of Ireland the Roman Catholic capital of that country.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that such a step would be the saviour of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) lie would give the Protestants of Ireland also every facility to relieve themselves from the burdens under which they laboured.—(Hear.) He viewed the necessity for this measure with great pain, although he thought the Bill sound in principle, and believed that political objects of great importance would be effected by it. He felt the necessity of proceeding with caution, but in the present circumstances of Ireland he thought the time had arrived when something must be done.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the measure highly creditable to the Government.—(Hear.) He cordially supported it, and would give its details his best consideration in Cora mittee.—(Hear.) Mr. lALLO - N BROWNE supported the Bill, be cause he believed it would have the effect of remedying in a great measure the evils under which Ireland at pre sent laboured.—(Hear.) Sir JOHN WALSI - 1 opposed the Bill, believing that the House or a Committee of it was not the proper tri bunal of settling the question. (LEFT SITTING.) --- MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAM. SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation continues dull, only 360 hhds having been sold, including 100 hhds Barbadoes by auction from 39s 6d to 43s for mid to fine yellow, and 40 tierces Jamaica at 373 to 418, and prices since this day week have declined fully is per cwt. The public sales have comprised 8,000 bags 120 tierces Mauritius, and 1,000 bags Bengal; the former mostly found buyers at about previous rates ; brown 30s to 37s with grey and yellow, at 37s 6d to 42s ; and the latter at 42s to 43s for good to fine white Benares, which aro steady prices. The stock of British Plantation in the port of London on the Ist inst. was 21,082 hhds 2,996 tierces, against 20,573 hhds 3,011 tierces at this time last year. The stock of Mauritius to the same period was not quite so large as last year. The stocks of Bengal and Madras are much larger, also of foreign. COFFEE.—Fifty-two packages Jamaica, 359 bags, 14 casks Plantation Ceylon, and 340 bags native ditto have been offered by auction. The Jamaica and Plantation Ceylon was only partially realised at fully previous rates, but native Ceylon brought a slight advance, viz., 30s to 30s 6d for good ord quality. The stock of Bri tish Plantation in the port of London on the Ist instant was 2,775 casks 3,312 barrels and bags, against 2,497 casks 2,201 barrels and bags at this time last year.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.-ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST MAIL TRAIN AT WATERLOO-ROAD STATION.-- rms DAY.)—Precisely at halt-past four o'clock this morning the first mail and passenger train from South ampton arrived at the Waterloo-road terminus. The engine employed for the purpose- was the Horton, No. 80, and conveyed seven carriages, with about 40 passengers. The workmen on this part of the line were employed on Sunday throughout the day, and likewise the whole of that and last night; still, however, they had not been able to form a clear entrance for passengers into Waterloo-road on leaving the train, and they were obliged to make the best of their way between masons and labourers to the road. Considerable work remains to be done before the booking-offices, Ste., will be com plete. On inspecting a portion of this line, we were particularly struck with the appearance of the cast-iron skew bridges over five of the principal thoroughfares. The one over the Westminster-road is particularly deserving of notico from the great span (90 teet) and peculiarly light appearance; this, with four of the others, were cast at the works of Mr. James Hay wood, of Derby, and are magnificent specimens of cast' ing. The one over Church-street is in two arches, and was made by Messrs. Grissell, London. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The postponement of the Piste in aid of the Distressed Needlewoman's Society had little or no effect on the attendance at the royal property last night, judging by the numerous and ele gant crowd of visitors congregated during the night. The extreme beauty of the evening, the most genial of the season hitherto, seemed to have had its effect by drawing together an amount of fashionable pleasure seekers that has not been exceeded during the past month. The various entertainments of equestrianism, music, vocal and instrumental, with the talented exhibi tion of Professor Hemming and Son with Signor Bead bury on the corde volante ,the inimitable Juba, colossal picture of Constantinople with the renowned Vauxhall fireworks, stamp the royal property a place of amuse ment par excellence, and entitle the indefatigable director, Mr. Robert Wardell to a large share of credit and a solid proof of public appreciation. 4111ZT.11.4.
