LATEST FROM IRELAND. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. There is an insurrectionary movement near Abbey feale, supposed to be headed by O'Gorman. Lord llardinge is gone down to Kilkenny. General Macdonald has removed his camp from Thurles to Limerick. Dr. West, Dr. M'Carron, Meany, and Brannan, are fully committed for high treason. Numerous arrests in Waterford arid other places. —Chronicle. The following is from our correspondent in Dublin " DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. " The mid-day mail from the south reports the continuance of tranquillity ; no further arrests had been made. A letter, dated from Thurles, Sunday three p.m., states that at one o'clock P.M. this day' the light division under General Macdonald received orders to proceed by railway to Limerick en rode to the county of Clare, where a rising is expected. The tents were struck, baggage loaded, and the men off the ground in one hour.' Another account states the final destination of the column is supposed to be Abbeyfeale,. where O'Gorman is reported to be at the head of an insurgent force. "Lord Hardinge left town with his staff this morning for Kilkenny. The Noble Viscount takes command of the southern division. General Mac donald continues in the command of the moveable column. "Colonel Clark, late of the Scots Grays, and Colonel Pennefather, have been appointed to the staff of Ireland. " Among the arrests in Dut,lin are two American sympathisers.'—Thiles. The Irish intelligence, that used to be so anxiously loolce:d for, has lo=t its chief interest since the capture SMITH O'BRIEN. True it is that Mr. MBA- GilEn, Mr. DILLON, and Mr. DOHENY, are still at large, and that the police on more than one occasion have been in rather an unpleasant proximity to the latter ; but they are mere vulgar traitors compared with the descendant of BRIAN Boßnoime, the would be King, of Munster. There was a certain degree of chivalrous generosity about Mr. O'BRIEN, which, combined with his ancient descent, position in society, pecuniary independence, and unques tionable enthusiasm, well qualified him to be come the leader of a revolution. lie was, how ever, deficient in some of the characteristics most es sential for such a position, and chiefly he wanted that stern and inflexible resolution, without which it would be impossible to control and cement together the conflicting elements, which are flung to the sun. flea in periods of popular excitement. There was too much vacillation and want of decision in his conduct. lie was also too tender hearted. lie would much rather endure the most aggravated sufferings himself than see the unfort una t e d upes w h om h e h a d m i s l e d victimised in consequence of having placed too implicit a dependence upon his promises. This amiable weakness (for weakn ess it may b e called on the part of an insurgent leader, who should be prepared to sacrifice numbers of innocent persons to the benefit of the cause,) aftordstheonly probable solution of the .7 4 :- otherwise inexplicable circumstances attendant upon r ,,,. his arrest. He could not possibly have hoped to '474,, 7. escape recognition and capture, when he determined - - . t o proceed to Thurles, a town throu g h which he t.U..? ."-- ,4 S ; ..!..had repeatedly passed, in which he was we ll I ': .:- known, and which was swarming with mili tary and police, all anxious to obtain .4.... ~... the Aarge": rewa rd offered for his apprehension; tk-17-4'''lffelf bSr . rmiracle he had succeeded in evadin g - i ~t0 4 1.,-...1.4 4 1 ~,,,i, iip.:.4 ..,„(WecPon,pfevious to the starting of the train, how *""eS^."Rldiliblave passed from the station at Limerick, where•horwas•universally known, without the fact THE SUN,_ LONDON, TUESDAY . _ EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1848. being immediately made known to the constabulary, and his instant capture being the inevitable result? In fact, he virtually surrendered himself ; but, in place of doing so witha good grace, and thereby re cording his submission and acknowledgment that the rebellion had been completely crushed, he suffered himself to be taken by the first person who chanced to take advantage of his weakness. There was, in all this, a total absenoe of every selfish feeling—a self-devotion that in a worthier cause would have been deserving of the highest `commendation. He might have remained concealed for many months in the mountain fastnesses into which he had retreated. The peasantry would never have betrayed or surrendered him who flung himself upon their generosity, and they would have braved all the consequences that might be incurred for affording shelter and protection to the proscribed traitor. But he himself shrunk from imposing so painful an alternative upon the people. The procla mations which had been posted through out the country announced that, the; punishment for harbouring a party charged with high treason was death. He saw that, although the hospitality he denianded was never refused, yet that it was given with fear amt. trembling, that he was an object of terror, and he resolved to endure any penalty himself rather than bring down exemplary punishment on his humble hosts, more particularly when he despaired of ultimate success. This led to his descent from the mountains, and he would most probably have at once surrendered himself, but that he feared it might be regarded as an attempt to obtain a mitigation of the penalties to which he was liable—a desertion of those involved in the same desperate enterprise with him self. Hence the act itself, and the manner of it—his determinatio❑ no longer to remain concealed, and his suffering himself to be captured rather than to sur render himself a prisoner. It is said that it has been intimated that Mr. O'Beantes trial will not take place during the present Commission sitting in Dublin, that the only political prisoners who will be tried on the present occasion are those who were in custody under the Treason Felony Act previous to the late outbreak. It may, perhaps, be intended to try all the parties more deeply implicated together, so soon as the fugitives are made amenable to justice ; perhaps the prisoners concerned in the insurrection may be kept as hostages for the tranquillity of the country. Whatever may be the object for postponing the trials, we trust most sincerely that mercy may be extended to all the misguided men implicated as participators in the insurrection. A general feeling appears to exist that the law may be sufficiently vindicated without the sacrifice of human life; that the fairest prerogative of the Crown may in this instance be exercised, without any injury to the public in general. There are many mitigating circumstances which may reasonably be allowed their due weight. Not a single one of the police, military, or of any engaged in the cause of order, lost his life during the entire transaction. Even the captured policeman, who, on the day of the contest at Boulagh, was taken prisoner, and brought before Mr. SMITH O'Brunn, was set at liberty, without the slightest injury being inflicted upon him. Life and property were in every instance respected. Now, although these facts cannot possibly justify what has taken place, they may, un doubtedly, be regarded as extenuating circumstances, more especially when it is in-favorent vitce that they are put forward, not as the ground of an acquittal, but merely for the favourable consideration of the Home Secretary, and the extension of clemency by the Crown to the unresisting prisoners. It is not, however, on grounds that we would mainly rest the case. It is on the moral effect which the punishment, whatever it may be, will have on the country. The cruelties that took place in 1798 on the part of the authorities greatly contributed to the atrocities perpetrated on the rebel aide. The hanging and the flogging of parties concerned in, or suspected of, treasonable practices led to the burning and the piking of loyalists. Public executions led to private assas sination, which the ignorant and excited multitude were taught to regard as justifiable reprisals on their enemies. We trust that there may be no repetition of these barbarities on either side—that the rebellion of 1848 may not have the same sanguinary recollec tions attached to it that degraded every class of Irish men in 1798. • Further etlbrts, we observe, are making, among the pretenders to morality, to enforce the injunctions of Holy Writ by Aots of Parliament, or, as it has been happily said by one of the town -councillors of Man chester, to render religion an inconvenience by placing a municipal padlock on the conscience. According to the police authorities of Rotherhithe, a little urchin who vends a handful of figs for the purpose of buying a crust for his Sunday's dinner is violating the prin ciples of Christianity. According to a wretched minority in the House of Commons, it is sinful to sell a mackerel five minutes after eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, and equally sinful to draw a pint of malt liquor before the chimes of one o'clock on the same afternoon have sounded. Glasgow, or at least a very moral proportion of the corporation of that city —the very PECYSNIFFS of Lanarkshire—wished a few months back to signalise their orthodoxy by putting a stop to all railway travelling on every seventh day between their own locality and the capital of Scotland. A kindred group of religionists threaten to ride roughshod over the unfortunate citi zens of Manchester by endeavouring to close the post-office for the space of twenty-four hours in the course of every successive week, in that great mart, from which the civilising influences of commerce are in a state of perpetual irradiation. Indeed, the spu rious morality of these worthies extends beyond th e boundaries of Lancashire—they have an ambition to cast a huge wet blanket of sobriety over the whole of the United Kingdom. During the course of last week a majority of eighteen against twelve of the town-councillors of Manchester decided that a memorial be presented to the Post master-General, praying that the post-office in that city may be henceforth closed on Sundays. But that there is an inherent impotence in this spirit of pig headed fanaticism, we should certainly be roused into a paroxysm of indignation. Fortunately, however, the bigotry which proceeds to acts of such exag gerated and Quixotic piety renders itself for ever harmless by becoming inexpressibly ridiculous. Nevertheles4, as there are many who are doubtless ignorant of the numerous and irrefutable arguments by which this movement against what is erroneously called the desecration of the Sabbath, is proved to be preposterous—we may briefly recapitulate a few of the - most conspicuous. Among other things therefore it must be remembered—That the Post-office is the me dium through which society is illumined by the esta blishment of a connecting link between town and town, between county and county, between nation and nation, and that consequently the stoppage of that medium of communication would throw a tem porary darkness and estrangement among the various divisions of the human family, not every hundred years, not every decade, not every lustrum, not every year, or every fortnight, but for the space of twelve or twenty-four hours in the course of every seven days—fifty-two times in the passage of the twelve calendar months! Besides which, it must not be forgotten—That supposing the post delivery were stopped on Sundays, people would get their newspapers in defiance of the Government. That twenty news-boys would, by that means, be forced to labour on Sundays in the place of half a dozen adult letter carriers. That other classes, such as druggists' apprentices, are compelled to attend to business during church service, and no statistical calculations have yet demonstrated that druggists' apprentices are peculiar for their licentiousness. That great misery, inconvenience, anxiety, and possibly sometimes even ruin and life-long wretchedness, might result from this interruption of correspondence. That the present system of delivery promotes the general emotions produced by social intercourse and visible good fellowship—emotions eminently ap propriate to the day dedicated by Christianity to the service of OMNIPOTENCE. That little annoyance, comparatively speaking, might accompany the im pediment in its relation to the wealthier portions of the population, but that, at the same time, one of the sweetest boons, and certainly one of the most inno cent pleasures of the poorer classes—that of cor responding with each other, and of preserving, in all its original brightness, the light of friendship and love e m u n t t he in u m a i l d i s na t p o o f v t e h r t m a r e k u n t els w o o f u id theirbedai effectually,ly and and, ~;: „ _ in some instances, permanently, interrupted. For Sunday is the only day on which a vast majority of the labouring classes can find leisure for letter-writing, and even for the minor occupation of letter-reading. We must confess, however, without any mental re servation whatever, that we have not patience to con tinue the catalogue of arguments against this ridicu lous and extravagant sham of religion. On former occasions we have insisted that it is impossible to make men moral by Act of Parliament. We reiterate that assertion ; and we maintain, that—once com menced—there would be no end to this legalised and really demoralising morality. If the Legislature were to prevent the running of railway trains, the delivery of letters and newspapers, the selling of mackerel, and the retailing of malt liquor on all Sun days, as a desecration of the Sabbath punishable by the law, we should ultimately have penalties inflicted on the shoe-black and the coachman, on the scullery wench and the butler, on the kitchen-maid who shelled the peas for the dinner table, and the under cook who toasted the muffins for tea. The men who agitate such outrageous questions as these —blowing their little penny trumpets of virtue at the street corners, after the fashion of the Pharisees—are foremost among those who make religion contemp tible, and render the otherwise seductive and majestic doctrines of Christianity ridiculous and repulsive. f Shares not quoted; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents.

" The Ministry, in consequence of this reply, sub mitted to the Assembly the following proposition, which was carried : "The High Assembly will please to decide on an ad dress explaining to his Majesty the urgent necessity fir his prompt return to the capital of the empire, adding expressly that the free action of the constbuted Assembly is guaranteed under every circumstance." This address was to be immediately sent to his MA. JEsTT by a deputation of the Assembly. In the sitting of the Ist August a proposition to constitute Cracow a separate Government was nega tived by a large majority. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRA NKFO RT. THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT-ABOLITION OF DEATH PUNISHMENTS. The Archduke JouN, the Administrator of the Em pire, accompanied by the Duchess and his younger sons, returned to Frankfort on the 4th inst., and was received with great enthusiasm. In the sitting of the German Parliament on that day the debate on the 7th section of the scheme of fundamental rights was resumed, and the abolition of capital punishment was decreed. Mittermaier urged the abolition of capital punishment for political offences. The retention of it lamed the arm of justice and embarrassed individual Governments. It frequently compelled them to show clemency and to raise doubts of guilt, where hesitation. would have been un necessary had the penalty of the offence been lighter. He disavowed all sentimentality, but i❑ the present jun ture more especially; and in consideration of the rapid advances which the social and political world was making, he warmly advocated the abolition of a punishment which the people so generally regarded with abhor rence. If the Imperial Assembly rescinded the standing law, it would be only doing that which the enactments of the newest German local code, that of Luxembourg, had done but a fortnight before. He concluded amid loud cheering. Werner urged the abolition of puniskment by death, not because he regarded it as an inhuman enactment, but because the times and the yoke of the people required its abolition. Schaffrath vehemently protested against the retention of capital punishment. All that could at best be said for it was, that it appalled and deterred from crime. But they had to proceed upon the theory of justice, and of what justice to the individual required. He regarded the retention of this punishment as a direct encroach ment upon the rights of the individual. He regarded it as a monstrosity. The interests of the individual were not to be merge(' in the interests of the State. On the contrary, the State was to be the guarantee for the liberty and inviolability of the individual. He implored them, on this 4th of August, to make a worthy decree, to show their estimation of life, that good which man held dearest.—(Cries of " Divide.") Scheller moved for oral division of the subject of capi tal punishment: -1. That capital punishment be abo lished altogether. 2. That it be, at least, abolished for political offences. His motion was vigorously supported by the Left, as also by a few on the Right and Centre benches. Atter a few unimportant speeches, the House pro ceeded to a division. Sect. 7. The liberty of the person is inviolable.— Carried unanimously. No one may be deprived of his lawful judge. Excep tional courts of judicature shall not be held.—Carried. The apprehension of a person, except when caught in the act of committing the offence, shall only occur on the strength of a judicial order, accompanied by proper grounds of arrest.—Carried by a large majority. This order must, either at the moment of apprehen sion, or, at latest, within twenty-four hours, be put into the hands of the person arrested.--Carried. The pnlice must either release the arrested person, in the course of the following day, or deliver him to the judicial authorities.—Carried by a large maj,rity. Every accused person, on putting in caution (cautio de judicio sisti), or bail or surety ( fide jussio), to be stipulated by the court, shall be realised from arrest, provided no information of a heinous criminal offence be pending against him.—Carried. For every unjust arrest, or unjustly prolonged arrest, the guilty authority, or even the State itself, is liable to pay compensation.—Carried, ayes 248, noes 163. Capital punishment is abolished, with the reservation of a future deliberation upon Kaiser's amendment, pro posing its maintenance as far as martial law is con cerned.—(Loud cries for " oral division.") Ayes, 288 ; noes, 146. The punishments of branding and of bodily chastise ment are abolished.—Carried. THE NEW GERMAN MINISTRY. The following list of the German Ministry has been handed about as the one which will probably be officially announced:— 1. President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs—The Prince of Leiningen (a Bavarian). Under- Secretaries of State (for this department)—Menissen, a Cologne merchant, and Max ♦on Gagern, brother of the President. 2. Minister for Home Affairs (Interior)—llerr von Schmerling, of Vienna. Under Secretaries of State (for this department)—Bassermann, of Baden, Herr von Wurth, of Vienna. 3. Minister of Justice—Hecksch e r, of Hamburgh. Under-Secretary of State (for this department) Brieglieb, of Coburg.: 4. Minister of Finance—Herr von Beckerath, of Cre teld, banker. Under-Secretary of State, (&c.)—Herr Mathy, of Baden. 5. Minister of Commerce—Duckwitz, of Bremen. Under-Secretaries of State, (&c.)-1 (Bl an k). 2 H err von Karnptz, of Berlin. 6, Minister of War—General von Peucher (a Prussian). Under-Secretary of State, (B;o—Brandt (a Prussian). Those among the above -mentioned who are not Members of the Imperial Assembly, are—The Prince of LEINI) GEN, HERR DUCiNVITZ, General vox PELT CHER, HERR BRANDT, HERR KAMPIR. The above-mentioned individuals were in confer ence with the Administrator at 3 o'clock, P.I. PRUSSIA. The tumultuous assemblages on the Linden are continued every night. They have hitherto, however, been dispersed without a serious collision. In the sitting of the Prussian National Assembly of the 4th August, the abolition of the punishment of death, except for offences committed under the exist ence of martial law or of a state of siege, was decreed by a majority of 294 to 37. Accounts have been received at Berlin from Schweidnitz, a garrison town in Silesia, south-west of Breslau, of a serious conflict between the military and people, during which the former fired upon the latter, and killed or wounded some twelve or fifteen. The particulars are not yet known. Several cases of cholera have occurred at Berlin. The Berlineae Nachrichten contains the following announcement : " The Minister of War has made known to the royal troops the army order of the 29th of July last, with the notification that the parade of the troops will not take place on the 6th of August." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, AUGUST 2.—Letters from Trieste, of the 31st of July, state that the taking of Peschiera has been confirmed by letters from Vienna. It is further stated that the Crown Prince of SARDINIA, according to others the second on of King CHARLES ALBERT, the Duke of GENoA, who had been elected King of SICILT, has keen taken prisoner by the Austrian troops. CHARLES, after RADETZKT'S refusal of the armistice desired by him, retired beyond the Oglio. According to reports circulated to-day, Goito and Brescia have also been taken by our troops.— Hanzburgh Borsenhalle, August 4. The Minister of War, in consequence of an auto graph letter, dated Inspruck, July 28, has issued the following army order to the Imperial troops " ARMY ORDER. " His Majesty the Emperor, immediately after the-re ceipt of the intelligence of the splendid military achieve ments at Somma Campagn and Custozzo, i❑ Italy, was pleased to forward to Field- Marshal Radetzky the fol lowing letters, in his own handwriting : " 6 My dear Count Radetzky,—The splendid victories of Somma Campagna and Custozzo have filled me with astonishment and pleasure. I conceive that I cannot give the gallant army in Italy a greater proof of my consideration than to confer on you, their distinguished csnamander, the grand cross of my military order of Maria Theresa, the insignia of which I now forward to you by my lieutenant-colonel, Count Creaneville. " May this highest insignia of honour which a warrior can wear long adorn your valiant breast, and may your deeds of valour be an example to the Austrian army. " ' Inspruck, July 2i, 1848.' FERDINAND.' " It affords me the highest gratification publicly to make known to you this supreme mark of distinction conferred upon our valiant brethren in arms, as well as their veteran leader, Count Latour, Master of the Ord nance." The Vienna Gazette of the lst has the following " A day or two Since questions were put to the Mi nistry as to what steps had b een taken to hasten the return of the Emperor to the ca p ital. The reply was , that penetrated with the import ance of it, the y had sent an address, praying his Majesty to return, to which th e following answer had been given : " • I have charged my uncle, the Archduke John, to replace me at the opening of the Diet of the empire. From this time the Diet is fully authorised to occupy itself with its organization. The responsible Ministers who aro in the capital are invested with all the powers connected with their functions. Until these laws are arranged my presence is not necessary; but it is, abo ve all things, necessary that the Legislative Assembly be nno way impeded in its freedom of action. I consider HANOVER. The magistracy of Hanover had commanded a solemn service in the churches on the 6th of August. BRUNSWICK. Duke WILLIAM of Brunswick has issued the fol lowing army order : " Ills Imperial Highness the Archduke JOHN of Austria, for the more effectual promotion of unity, and for the general interests of Germany, has been charged provisionally with the administration of the central power. While I cordially give my entixe consent to this election, I have placed the armed forces of my dukedom under the subordination of his Imperial Highness the ARCHDUKE REGENT, in the same manner and to the same extent, as the same has hitherto been placed under the German Confederation. I entertain the firm conviction that my troops will continue to favour and maintain, in the cause of Germany, that love for the fatherland, and those military qualifications, for which they have hitherto been so justly celebrated. (Signed) " WIL LIAM. " Brunswick, Aug. 1, 1848." —Handiurgh Correspondent, Aug. 4. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND PIEDMONT. LATEST PROM THE ARMY OF CHARLES ALBERT. The Risorgimento of the 3d inst. states that the head. quarters of CHARLES ALBERT were still at Lodi. His army occupies the line of the Adda. There has been no fresh collision between the hostile forces. The KING is constantly on horseback, in specting the different corps of his army. The soldiers are recovering their spirits, and are preparing to at tack the enemy. The Lieutenant-General of the Duchy of Piacenza, for his Majesty CHARLES ALBERT, has issued the fol lowing proclamation . " Inhabitants of Piacenza, " Our army, which for several months past has borne with admirable courage and perseverance the fatigues and dangers of the war, came a few days since to battle with the enemy, who poured forth from the fortresses of Verona and Mantua. Victory was faithful to our banners, because they are the banners of our own country and of valour ; but the addition of reinforcements to the enemy obliged us to fall back on a more secure line of defence. The main body of the army, however, having rallied under the command of the KING, far from suffering from defeat, is preparing to renew the attack with vigour, and has already recovered some of its former positions from the enemy. The soldiers of Piacenza were the most intrepid of warriors ;:and I warn you to give no credit to the rumours spread by some run-aways, labouring under the shame of having deserted the banner of honour. Rather believe those gallant soldiers who shed their blood—their wounds sufficiently tell you that the army is full of courage and hope. " Viva it Re !.Viva Ilialia ! "Piacenza, July 29, 1848. " SAPPA." " ORDER OF THE LIEUTENANT-GENERAL COM- MANDING THR ROYAL TROOPS AT PIACENZA. " Soldiers !—ln consequence of the fatigues which you have undergone while fighting gallantly, several of you fell sick, and, unable to follow the movements of the army, disbanded, and came to recruit your exhausted strength to Piacenza, where you were received with that brotherly charity which distin guishes these good citizens, to whom we profess the most sincere gratitude. Your strength having been restored, the time has arrived when you must again resume your arms and return without delay to your own corps, and reunite yourselves to your banners and to your brothers in:arms, who are fighting under the orders of the King and the Princes, his sons, for the holy cause of Italy, to the support of which we must devote all otir strength. Do not listen to a few alarmists, foes of Italy, and bribed by your enemy to dishearten you—despise them, and show them that it is not in their power to make you deviate from the path of honour. " Soldiers of all ranks, whom I have gathered here in order to re-unite you and send you back to your regiments, obey the patriotic call, and start at the cry of " Viva it Re !—Viva l'ltalia 1 "PI BRICHERASIO. " Piacenza, 30th July, 11148." " THE GENERAL-IN-CHIEF OF THE NATIONAL GUARD, " Soldiers !—The cause of our independence is in danger. King CHARLES ALBERT does not recede from the danger ; he says to his people—To arms ! " Soldiers of the National Guard I—Now is the time for union,' courage, sacrifices. Were the Austrian to threaten our country, let him recollect that we are the same people as in 1746 ! " Fly, when called on, immediately to arms. Do ❑ot be slow in lending your arm to your country. In famy will stamp its degrading mark on whosoever refuses, and the rigour of the law will fall as thunder on his head. " SoldiersOrtEe National Guard !—ln difficult circumstances I told you that I reckoned upon you —reciprocate with me the same confidence. " The cause of our liberty cannot be lost. Let danger inspire us with firmness, and if Italy can free herself, it should never be said that we had been found wanting in our duty. " Your General, " G. BELBI PIOVARA. " Genoa, August TUSCANY. When the news of the battle on the Mincio be came known at Florence, on the 30th ult., a demon stration took place which had much the appearance of an insurrection. The next day the following Bills were to be presented to the Chamber :-1. Imme diate mobilization of 16,000 men of the Civic Guard. 2. Requisition of Horses. 3. A forced Loan. 4 Immediate departure of the Civic Guard and the Line to the frontier. A similar movement took place at Leghorn on the same day. ROME. The Cittadino Italian of Leghorn states, from Rome, 26th ult., that Count Rossi having resigned, the POFE had sent again for MA.A!IANr, who h a d h opes to make him accept the condition of a declaration of war. The return of the legion that capit u l ate d at Vicenza seems to have had some weight with th e " P o ; for that body, on its arrival, i mme di ately occu pied the Jesuits College, giving clearly to un derstand they would not tolerate th e i n d ec i sion of his independence. Accounts in the war of Accounts from Rome, of the 28th of July, state that at a secret meeting of the Chamber of Deputies, a letter from the Minister of the Interior to the President of the Chamber was read, announcing that the whole Ministry intended taking upon itself the responsibility of its acts in the sense the most strictly constitutional. Upon this the Chamber authorised its President to convoke the Chamber to a public sitting, as, in accepting complete responsi bility, the Ministry indicated that it had changed the conditions of its existence. The Mamiani Ministry was to be reconstituted. On the following day (the 29th of July) the public sitting was to take place, when several questions would be put to the Ministry relative to the war. It appears that the officers in command of the POPE'S troops at Bologna had declared that they were not in a p os iti on t o k eep t h e fi e ld f or a single month. The Alba of Florence states from Rome (29th ult.) that MAMIANI has received full powers; that the offensive and defensive alliance among the Italian Princes will be concluded; and that he has been au thorised to send immediately contingents to CHARLES ALBERT. A considerable number of passengers left town for the Continent on Sunday last, by the Antwerp Company's steam-ship Antwerpen, Captain Jackson. Amongst them were Lord De Mauley, the Hon.

DUBLIN AND. DROGHEDA RAILWAY. ARBITRARY SUPPRESSION OF A STATION. Sir W. SOMERVILLE presented a petition on behalf of the Mayor and other inhabitants of Drogheda and its vicinity, complaining of the arbitrary suppression of the Bettystown station by the directors of the Dublin and Drogheda Railway, and praying for the introduction of a general enactment empowering . the Railway Commis sioners, or Board of Trade, to adjudicate upon disputed questions between the public and railway companies in Ireland, and that the question pending between the public and the Dublin and Drogheda Railway Company may be referred to the decision of the Railway Commis• sioners.

The report upon the Proclamations on Fines Court of Common Pleas Bill was brought up and agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. POOR-LAW UNION CHARGES (No. 2) BILL. On the report upon this Bill being brought up, Mr. C. BULLER moved the insertion of the following clause :—" And be it further enacted, that if any person hereinbefore made chargeable upon the common fund of the union shall be convicted before any justice of any offence committed in any workhouse while maintained therein, or of deserting or running away from any workhouse, and carrying away clothes or other property therefrom, and be liable to be com mitted to any gaol or house of correction, the justice before whom such person shall be convicted, may commit such person to the gaol or house of correction of the county or place containing the parish in which such person, if chargeable to the common fund by reason of being exempt from removal under the statute herein before mentioned, shall have been residing, when ad mitted into the workhouse, or to that of the county or place comprising the major part of such union, in the case of any other person herein rendered chargeable on the said common fund, notwithstanding such workhouse may not be situated in such county or place, or that such justice may not be a justice of such county or place, and the charges of the conveyance of such person to such gaol or house of correction, and all other charges con sequent upon such committal, shall be borne by such county or place in like manner as the charges of per sons committed in the ordinary mode to the gaol thereof, shall be borne. After a few words from Captain PECHELL, the olause was agreed to and ordered to stand part of the Bill. Colonel THOMPSON moved the insertion of the fol lowing clause, after clause 3:—" And be it further enacted that the guardians of any, union or parish may, with the order of the said Commissioners, and in con formity with such regulations as they shall direct, pro cure, or assist in procuring the emigration of any poor person chargeable, or who would, if relieved, be charge. able upon the common fund of such union, or in the case of any parish not comprised in, a union, who may, though not settled therein, be exempt, from liability to removal therefrom; and such guardians shall in the case of a union, charge the costs and expenses incurred in such emigration upon the common fund; and in the case of a parish not in a union, upon the moneys in their hands for the relief of the poor. Mr. HENLEY trusted that the Hon. Member who had introduced the Bill would n9t support the amend ment. • The clause, after a short discussion, was agreed to, and also ordered to stand part of the Bill. Other amendments were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY called the attention of the Hon. Gentleman to the vast increase of vagrancy. In Leeds, the cost of relieving , the wanderin g p oo r had been doubled during the last three years, as compared with '35, '36, and '37. In Manchester, they had been trebled ; in Norwich, almost doubled, whilst in the city of Lon don, it had increased to an enormous extent ; for in stance, 356 only were relieved by the city of London Union in 1639, but 41,743 were relieved in 1847. The gaols were filled with vagrant poor, from 6,000 to 7,000 of whom passed through the city annually, and noetli cient provision was made for their lodgment in any of t he workhouses, except in the city of London Union and the the West London Union. Mr. best attentionßULL Elt was a d s s i r u e r c e t d e dtthoe theH o s n u . b j G e e c n t . t 1 e mTahne measure h e a a t s u h r i e s before the House had been adopted after the fullest con- sideration of the whole matter. But if any Hon. Gen tleman would propose any measure that would bett er promote the great object which he had in view, h e should feel happy to give it the utmost encouragement. Mr. HENLEY regretted the absence of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as the question was one which came more properly under his cognizance, being a criminal matter, than that of the Poor-law Commissioners. He hoped the Government would introduce a Bill to deal with those who committed acts of vagrancy.—(Hear.) Mr. C. LEWIS said the vagrant laws were sufficiently stringent, and that it would be difficult for the House to make them more so. It was extremely difficult to prove an act of vagrancy, and there was great disincli nation on the part of metropolitan and provincial magis trates to send destitute persons proved soliciting alms to prison, because the cost of their maintenance would be greater in the prison than in the workhouse. POOR-LAW UNION DISTRICTS SCHOOL BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that he had hoped some explanation would have been given of the Bill. It was proposed to provide for the compulsory education of the children of the indigent poor of the country in a manner most objectionable. He particularly objected to the mode in which the expense was to be paid—namely, out of the poor-rate. The objections urged against the Bill were so freely stated in a petition from Ashton, that he felt he could not do better than enumerate them. (LEFT SPEAKING. LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY.)

The Gageta publishes an official notification of the appointment of Senor AloN as Ambassador Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Vienna. The contract between the Bank and the Govern ment has been rescinded. The necessities of the Government require advances which the Bank is now unable to make ; it on the contrary requires support itself from the Government. The latter paid the Bank a commission of 1 per cent., which gave the Bank a profit of 10 millions (180,0001.) a year, but the inducement to do this was the facility of obtain ing advances, and as this has ceased, the Government will henceforth collect the revenue through their own agents, and by the machinery which existed before the contracts with the Bank commenced. There appear to have been recently some Carlist movements on the banks of the Ebro, as the Gageta publishes a dispatch from the Captain-General of Valencia, announcing the defeat of a Carlist band, with the loss of one killed and several wounded. It is said that CABRERA has crossed the Ebro, and that he will commence operations in the provinces of Va lencia and Arragon.

In accordance with this decree, the Presse, the Assemblee Nationale, and the Liberte, appeared yes terday morning. The Presse contains an article, signed " Emile de Girardin," :which., somewhat grandiloquently an nounces that " suppressed without cause, " the Presse re-appears without conditions." Having gone at great length into the question of his own personal grievances, M. EMILE DE GIBARDIN thus con cludes : " Behind, then, be the past; let us only behold the present; let us interrogate the future. The gravity of the circumstances has not been diminished; the diffi culties have outlived the peril ; they subsist quite as they were. War is no longer in the streets; but does peace exist is men's minds? Men's hands are disarmed, but their passions are in the utmost irritation. Distrust is extending; resentments are becoming deeper; the existing wounds become more envenomed; more than ever we are at the mercy of a fault, of an error, of a sur prise, of a complication, of au incident. The existing Goverment has for it the force which watches, but it has against it the misery which overflows. The Go vernment of 1830 also had its days of April, of May, and of June, from which it issued three times 'victorious; and yet all that did not prevent its succumbing, on February 24th, to a fourth attempt. Three times already the Republic has miraculously escaped the attempts of April, May, and June—will it be as fortunate the fourth time? It is to be hoped so; but too much dependence must not be placed on it, in order not to slumber on in a dangerous optimism, in order not to entrench one's self behind a fatal egotism. The only means of escaping the terrible consequences of a 24th of February of the new regims, which 24th of February would be the victory of the drapeau rouge, is to act as if that victory was imminent and inevitable; it is to spare nothing to conjure it away, so as, whatever may happen to have no subject of reproach. We shall give the ex ample. To amnesty the executive power, the first act of which was to strike us so heavily in our liberty and our fortune—to aid it with all our efforts to triumph over the grave difficulties against which it struggles painfully— shall be the only vengeance which we will take for the evil which has been done to us, for the greater evil of which, perhaps, the idea and the hope were conceived, for the immense damage which has been caused us, and which we should not now have recalled to mind if it had not been extended round us to more than 300 families, not having any other means of living but their labour." There were various unpleasant rumours circulat ing in Paris yesterday with respect to Italian affairs. According to one of these rumours, CHARLES ALBERT had retreated to the walls of Milan, hotly pursued by the army of RADBTZKY ; according to another account, the Sardinian troops had altogether evacuated Lombardy, and had fallen back on Pied mont. Neither of these rumours have been con firmed ; and it would appear, from a warning given by the National, that they have been invented for the purpose of bringing down the funds. In reference to some of these rumours, the M'oniteur says-- " The public, and especially the Bourse, has been moved by a movement effected by the division of the camp of St. Maur. People forget that this division is a part of the Army of the Alps ; by this title it is consti tuted on the footing of war, provided with materials and au administration for a campaign, which is quite useless in the interior. It was called to Paris at the first mo ment, but ,solely as a provisional measure. Now that measures are taken to bring troops in from other points, this division returns to its cantonments ; but each regi- ment which goes is replaced by a regiment which arrives. The garrison of Paris will, therefore, mot be diminished." The Democratic Pacifique says : " It was rumoured on Saturday at the National As sembly, that the Government had sent to General Oudinut, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Alps, full powers to act as he might consider he was called on to do by circumstances —in other w or d s , to enter Italy if ho thought it necessary." The affairs of Italy continue to occupy the atten tion of the diplomatic body in Paris. Long and frequent conferences are held every day on this sub ject between General CAVAIGNAC, M. BASTIDB, the Foreign Minister, the Marquis of NORMANDY, the Marquis of BRIGNOLE SOLE, the Sardinian Ambas sador, M. Ricer (the Minister dispatched from Turin to demand the intervention of France), and the re presentatives of various of the Italian States. The National publishes an official contradiction of the rumour which was circulated on the Bourse, that the Government intends to contract a loan of five hundred millions. It was rumoured in Paris last evening that the Government had received a telegraphic dispatch an nouncing that RADETZLT had entered Milan on the 4th, in consequence of a popular movement in his favour. last week has made BOURSE.—PARts M fur ther progress The fears effect, and some difficulties in o c a f o P t u ol3 ; e eq A a u n s e s nee TaaEEo'Ci.o to c, d . a — y.
