Morning .. 4 min. after 2 I Evening 31 .. min. aftor 2 offers a loophole for the admission of those unprin cipled persons who would lie without a blush in the face of earth and heaven, it is impossible to maintain that no modification is requisite. In fidels and Socinians individuals who deny the existence of a Deity, and who scorn all credence in the divinity of CHRlST—Atheists, Deists, and Freethinkers, Latitudinarians, and others, who are openly antagonistic to religion, may enter, and have entered, Parliament, swearing their allegi ance solemnly before GOD and man " on the true faith of a Christian !" GIBBON acted thus— derisively no doubt—with a chuckle at the credulity of his com patriots and at the ingenuity of his prevarication• There is, consequently, no obstacle whatever in the Oath of Abjuration against the entrance of those who are totally devoid of any sense of moral obliga tion ; whereas, in the instance of a conscientious man, such as a believer in the creed of MOSES, the "phrase" already mentioned offers an insurmountable and certainly a most unwarrantable obstruction. Therefore it is that Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposes to abolish this unjustifiable distinction by erasing the expression altogether from the formularies of Par liament, and by that means to worst the intentions of a mistaken or fanatical opposition. Against the first of these two important notices of motion, we can, as we have already ob served, raise not one shadow of objection. With the second it is altogether different. We are, on no account, disposed to blink the matter or to glose over the reason of our dissatisfaction. As far as the innovation itself goes, it is all well and good enough. As far as the notion itself is concerned —of repealing so much of the existing law as makes it necessary to pay the assessed taxes in order to be on the register as an elector in cities and boroughs— that notion is admirable. But the improvement is not sufficiently great to excite in any manner our enthusiasm. On the contrary, it is so utterly inade quate that we cannot but regard it with jealousy _ we cannot . but look upon it as a sullen and reluctant yielding to popular intimidation—we cannot consider it, in fact, as otherwise than a mere Ministerial sop to the Cerberus of Democracy. A change, and a very comprehensive change too, is essential in regard to the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill. No doubt of it. But that is only a segment in the vast circle of reforms which are now becoming absolutely necessary For the maintenance and development of the British Constitution. In reference to the manner of the elections of our representative legislators alone, is this the only in novation that is essential ? We ask common prudence. We ask common sense. We ask common honesty. Look at the result of the last general election, the election of 1847, and deny if you can the fact that the boasted Bill of 1832 has been very far indeed from destroying the system of bribery, corruption, and intimidation, which were the evil consequences of the execrable practices of bDroughmongering! Deny that deplorable fact if you can ! Remember that Horsham was a corrupt election—that Harwich was a corrupt election— that Yarmouth was a corrupt election—that Derby was a corrupt election—that Cheltenham was a corrupt election—that Aylesbury was a corrupt election—that Leicester was a corrupt election—that Lancaster was a corrupt election—that Bewdley was a corrupt election—that Walsall was a corrupt elec- tion--that Kinsale was a corrupt election—that Lin coln was a corrupt election—that Carlisle was a corrupt election. Remember that the grossest treating was proved against an unsuccessful candidate at Lyme Regis, and that the most shameless intimidation was re sorted to by another unsuccessful candidate at Stamford. Remember all this, and then pronounce a veto against the new movement for Parliamentary Reform—if you can, with an untroubled conscience. Assuredly, such a veto would " stick in the throat " of the Sovereign as obstinately as the Amen in the throat of the Thane of Cawdor. For these reasons we cannot but regard with very different sentiments the two remarkable notices of motions made last evening by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons. We cannot but view the first with the most unconditional pleasure, and the second with the most positive dis , satisfaction. The advocates for the present system of navigation- Laws, before they can call upon the public to consent o a continuance of the exclusive privileges that en- ail such extraordinary expenses upon the genera' body of consumers, and operate as such grievous re strictions upon the legitimate extension and full development of our commerce and our manufactures, must clearly and unequivocally establish that the shipowners, the parties for whose supposed advantage the obnoxious provisions have been enforced, are really benefited thereby; and, secondly, that there exists some great national necessity for the perpetuation of a system so manifestly inequitable, and that if the stringent enactments and regulations were relaxed to any considerable extent, it would prove fatal to the maritime superiority so dear to the heart of every Englishman, and so essential to the maintenance of the national safety and the national honour, no slight or fancied benefits would be suf ficient. The simple question is, will the commercial marine of the country be sacrificed, if the vessels of other nations are permitted to enter into a fair com petition in the European carrying trade, the long voyage trade, and the colonial trade, in all of which it has heretofore enjoyed a practical monopoly ? To that extent it must be carried, and nothing less would justify the taxation of the many for the personal advantage of the few. Now, in the very first instance, we must be per mitted to doubt whether any actual benefit accrues to the shipping interests from these exclusive privileges. It is true that, in some instances, they may demand, and possibly may receive, higher freights, in consequence of riot being exposed to the competition that would otherwise exist. But the result of these exorbitant freights is to slacken trade, and to prevent the con stant and remunerating employment which they would otherwise obtain. Produce will not be raised when the whole profit may be taken from the grower, by the extravagant demands of the shipowner. A fair and reasonable facility must be afforded of sending it at a moderate cost for carriage to the market, in which it is ultimately to be disposed of, to encourage the original producer. If that is withheld he will become careless and indifferent, or perhaps wholly withdraw from the effort, and in any event there will be a smaller quantity to be carried, and that at a much higher cost originally. A rather homely comparison may illustrate this argument. Would it be beneficial to the omnibus proprietors of the metropolis to enact that no person should be carried from Charing-cross, or from any of the suburban villages, to the Bank at less than five shillings per head. Each omnibus that whichtwpmhaaonysdnestfirunalcoltheesdeexwt fares; r ould certainly pay very mu c h b e tt e r a v a butconveyedga n thow r rates s fewpassengers? wouMerchants, be at n the on pr esent moderate contented ted t tradesmen,o and clerks, wou ld li ve in the immediate vicinities of their respective places oinf pbuurseinnenssa in wholesome place o faiair. having lt journ ey that induces them to i t s he t i h r e fa c m he i a li p e n s e r s e s si n d f in th g e make it, otherwise they would relinquish it altogether or walk, notwithstanding the l oss of time andfatig they would thereby suffer. The sa me result would e ensue if a monopoly was given to a single comp any with the privilege of fixing their fares at any rate they thought proper. Unless the directors and ma nagers were intelligent and clear-headed men, they would charge so highly as to reduce the traffic. Per haps, eventually, the proprietors obtain better returns, and the public are certainly better served by having the entire traffic thrown open to general competition, in which everything finds its level—the carriers rea lising fair and moderate profits, and the passengers being carried at reasonable rates. It must also be borne in mind that our shipping itself suffers from the regulations established by other countries in consequence of the example we have afforded. If England has her navigation-laws, so hns America, so has Germany, and, indeed, almost every other maritime country that could be named. If we abolish our code, and admit the vessels of the United States to our ports, they will adopt an equally liberal policy. The Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Manchester, in the course of his powerful speech last night, clearly pointed out the in jurious effects of the combined influence of the English A wl American navigation-laws on English shipping, almost the whole of the carrying trade between Eng land and America being in consequence thereof given to American vessels. As the Right Hon. Gentleman "it was all Europe against England in favour of American ships, and the American ship had al ways a good opportunity of getting a full freight in coming from America to England, because the pro duce she brought was the raw produce, cotton and corn." Well might he add, " that under the two laws the American shipping had a decided advantage over the English shipping, and that if the House rejected the present proposition of the Govern ment, it would be inflicting a great blow on the English shipping, and depriving that interest of the great advantages now within their reach." Germany toe, and other lands, will also be lost to us, by their endeavouring to carry out our own principle, in fact our shipowners would be serious losers in place of gainers by the system, so far as the traffic of the world is concerned. Under these cir cumstances there is a failure of the case on the very first point. The shipowners would not be injured, but, on the contrary, materially served by the re laxation of the law ; and it becomes unnecessary to argue the second part o f t h e case. The i nterests of the shipowners and of the community at large are not conflicting, so that it is unnecessary to decide which should give way to the other. SPAIN.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. TIIE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. A Committee of eighteen (one for each bureau) has been appointed to consider the propriety of im peaching• Lours Br ANC. The Assembly did not sit yesterday. It is said :hat the Executive Committee intend to present a Bill to prohibit the collecting together of large assem blages, and to punish those who print, post, or distri bute incendiary placards. The printer and writer of the placard proposing the Prince DE JOIN VILLE as a candidate for Paris are to be prosecuted. Prince LOINS NAPOLEON, who visited Paris incog. about three days t since, has received orders to quit Paris. M. EmILE T HOMAS has arrived at Bordeaux. The Committee on Labour has decided that it would devote Tuesday and Friday in each week to the inquiry ordered by the Assemblee Nationale. The delegates, masters and workmen of each branch, with the authors of plans and systems, are to be heard in order, as they may apply in writing to the Committee. At its last sitting, the Committee heard a report from M. WALDECK ROUSSEAU upon several papers sent in, and it acceded to the conclusions of that report—that is to say, to form three Sub-Com mittees, to suggest the resolutions to be submitted to the Assembly on the three following questions, viz.— 1. The commandite, in manufacturing, agricultural, and other undertakings, where capitalists advance money, to have an interest in the undertaking. 2. Association of workmen. 3. Benefit Societies for ,heir use. On the motion of one of the members, the Committee referred to the first Sub-Committee a plan for the establishing a bank at Paris, to furnish tools and implements, and to make advances to such workmen as may hare been domiciled in Paris more than six months. Yesterday, being Ascension-day, was kept as a holiday. The Bourse, National Assembly, and all the public offices were closed, and there was no busi ness doing of any kind. We read in the Messager " A new association of deputies, amounting to up wards of 200, has been formed, and will assemble at the Academie de Milicine, in the Rue de Poitiers. The object is said to be to eitablish an honest, moderate re public, such a one as we hope and believe the country almost unanimously desires, and which will exerciso a salutary influence over the proceedings and decisions of the Assembly. At its first sitting General Baraguay d'Hilliers was elected President, M. Base Vice-Presi dent, and MM. Berard and Granger de la Mariniere, secretaries. We have already noticed the meeting of the Pa,lais National, under the presidency of M. Dupont de l'Eure, that held at M. Buchez's, and another assem bling daily at a house in the Chaussee d'Antin. So that it appears the National Assembly is divided into four camps." At the meeting of the representatives in the bureaux yesterday to examine the demand made for authorisation to proceed against M. Louis BLANC for being concerned in the affair of May 15, very little discussion took place. It was rumoured amongst the members that the law-officers of the Republic had for several days been applying to the Executive Committee for the authorisation, but that it had been always refused. It was only that morning, it was said, that after the law-officers had declared that it would be impossible to go on with the case if the authorisation was refused, that the Executive Com mittee consented. In the bureaux, some of the members declared themselves to be decidedly opposed to the authorisation, but "in general the bureaux con fined themselves to recommending the persons nomi nated to the Committee to pay the most scrupulous attention to every part of the case, and to demand ex planations from the Procureur-General. In some bureaux also the members of the Committee were directed to ascertain if the prisoners were to be tried before the ordinary tribunals or before a special court. MM. BAZE and PROISSARD abstained from voting, because they were witnesses in the case ; and M. DE CORMENIN, on account of his old intimacy with M. Louis BLANC. Amongst the persons appointed to the Committee are several who gave no opinion on the matter. The Executive Government has sent the following communications to the journals : Prosecutions aro ordered against the author and printer of a placard posted on the walls of Paris, propos ing the Pricce de Joinville as a candidate for the Na tional Assembly. This placard is seditious, because, by the terms of the decree recently rendered by the Assem bly, the French territory is interdicted to all the mem bers of the ex-Royal Family." M. ALPHONSE ADAM, a carpenter, living in the Rue de l'Ouest, a candidate for one of the vacancies in the representation at the National Assembly for Paris, has published in the journals a letter which says—" I am only a workman, but I can certify that all true workmen, fathers of families, are greatly surprised at seeing several journals attempting to make use of the workmen to serve their own ends. We wish for nothing but order and employment, and will always support the National Guard, of which every one has a right to form part." The Orleanist reactionnaires have put forward the Prince DE JOINVILLE as a candidate for Paris. Verily the intrigue progresses. M. GuizoT seeks to rule France from Brompton-square as he already rules Spain, and hopes soon to rule England. The &forme thus remarks on this audacious proceeding : " We shall not to-day speak of the Chamber and of its labours. The political question of the moment is to be seen posted up on the walls, in large yellow placards, bearing a signature, and all Paris is convoked to nominate at the next elections the sailor Joinville, Prince of Orleans, and a fits de France. We have seen those placards on the walls of the Chibteau d'Eu ; on those walls from whence were dis charged the bullets which slaughtered the people on the 24th of February. Pretenders proceed rapidly nowa days ; f ormerly, the princes of Coblentz were less held. It is true that there was then a people, a govern ment, and a revolution. Our philanthropists, our academicia ns , our able men, both diplomatic and lite rary, will sa y, ' Y ou see how strong we are Three t the the walls. na m T e o h f e investiture treof n v months after th e b arr i ca d es the dynasty placards itself on le is demanded us sovereignty °i o i ifthe Behold our strength.' Yes, you are strong, like those of the Directory, who allowed ambitious men to rise, and who destroyed the Republic. You are strong, like those who sleep in the illusions of another re storation. You will, perhaps, say that we are wrong in attaching any value to inoffensive placards, puerile demonstrations, or ridiculous idolatries. You de ceive yourselves ; the interests which live on privilege are no longer under the fear of balls—they now conspire ; aristocracies form their coteries ; mono polists dream of the old reign ; and society, which a flash of victory had illuminated, again falls back to its former state. Count the pretenders; they are all citi zens: they write to claim their rights from the bosom f that old England from whence all our defeats have proceeded. They have here statesmen w h o caress and journals which defend them, even to the length of insulting the people.

Whatever may be the ultimate consequence of the great Reform movement, which ha s j ust co mmenced under the auspices of fluxE and CoßDEN—one thing is already certain, that the Government will endea vour to prevent the necessity of such sweeping measures being forced through the Houses of Legis lature by precipitate but insufficient concessions. Last evening the House of Commons had proof of this from an announcement made by the Prime Minister. important notices announcement consisted of two very notices of motions—one originating in the failure of the Jewish Disabilities Bill—the ether in the strength already revealed by the new League in favour of certain Parliamentary innovations. " Sir," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " I wish to give two notices of motions. One is, that I propose on Monday next to ask for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the form of oath to be required of Members on taking their seats in Parliament. The other is, that on Friday I shall move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of the existing law as makes it neces sary to pay the assessed taxes in order to be on the register as an elector in cities and boroughs." Without question these are sufficiently remarkable intimations from a Liberal Premier, even from a Premier like the Noble Lord the Member for the city of London, the statesman who had the privilege of introducing to the Lower House at 'Westminster the first comprehen sive Bill for the revisi on o f our representative system W e call them remarkable intimations advisedl3--in timations only—nothing more . And they are simply remarkable, inasmuch as they indicate a sense on part of the Administration, of a necessity - for con cedinge certain extraordinary reforms to the mul titude. Against the first of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S notices of motion we have nothing whatever to object. A NEWS i i ‘iision is absolutely needful in the wording of the r er_s,:r - Mir of , Ahjuration. That is beyond all. denial. When it is notorious that the effect of this asseveri: tic the direct exclusion from the House of Com. trleins of *large body of conscientious men, while it .• NI, S r~,,~,~ THE SUN, LONDON, dateship is posted up on, the walls of Paris, testifying to the weakness of the public authorities, who know not how to make the sovereign decrees respected. To-day, perhaps, this is an act of eccentricity, a madness, a dream of Charenton ; to-morrow it will be a regular policy—it will be the Government. When trees fall they leave roots, and offshoots soon spring up. But let us not insist on the matter any longer; let us not put forward our counsels to those on high; it is to the people that it is necessary to address the request for liberties, or for a return to the country ; they alone are not intoxicated with pride, they alone are not unmindful, and it is to them we shall address the ques tion whether they will guard and strengthen the Go vernment of the Republic. They are aware as well as we that specie has emigrated, that devotedness has become hypocrisy, and that all that have come to us from the old Government supporters have been actuated by 14; desire to have a share in the spoil. If the people wish to return to their former slavery, if they are willing to have the rights withdrawn from them which they achieved at the price of their blood, if they re pudiate their barricades, if the instillers of poison, who every day preach to them of dynasties have won them over to the institutions which they hack destroyed, their part is easy; they have only to leave to others the care of their destinies, end to resume their former place as helots in their country." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was yesterday a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool, but without any change in prices. Sales, 3,000 bales. Railway Shares were heavy, and there was but little business done. Returns have been completed for the first four months of the present year respecting the imports and exports of Belgium, compared with the corresponding period of 1847. The imports sh ow an i ncrease i n ca t t l e , and a decrease in sheep. The increase in coffee was from 3,165,320 kilogrammes in 1846, and 9,861,064 kilogrammes in 1847, to 10,734,186 kilogrammes this year. Of cotton wool the qu an ti t y i mporte d l ast year, to the end of April, was 1,867,215 kilogrammes; and this year, 3,054,106 kilogrammes. Of grain the imports were larger. In raw wool there was a decrease; in rice a groat augmentation, and also in salt and raw sugar. The quantity of cotton fabrics introduced was smaller. • The exports of Belgian products and manufactures were larger as regards fire arms, refined sugars and zinc. In cotton fabrics also there was an increase. A decrease is observable in coal, leather, linens, machinery, woollens, and glass. There is nothing new in the City, but we hear com plaints on nearly all hands of the extreme dullness of trade. In the Colonial produce markets there has perhaps not been so much reason to complain, but still holders are more inclined to press sales. The • corn trade is affected both by the favourable weather, and the arrivals of foreign, and prices are to day barely maintained. We adverted yesterday to the unfavourable anticipa tions with respect to the revenue, and the bare mention of a possible increase to our present overwhelming debt is so distasteful, that a counter proposition, viz., for a reduction, should excite the opposite feeling, unless con sidered, as we apprehend it might, to be too good to be feasible. In an article upon the effects of the usury laws on the funding system, which appears in the Banker's Magazine, there are, neverthe less, some interesting suggestions. The writer observes that :—"lt is obvious, from the manner in which the loss occurred, namely, that of granting annuities at , three per cent. and four per cent., when the market rate of interest was five per cent. and six per cent. ; that if the market rate of interest should rise to five or six per cent., the government might borrow at one of those rates, and buy up a great part of the three par cents., and so save a considerable portion of the loss. The same object might be effected to a less extent if the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt were authorised now to create funds of 34, and 4 per cents., and sell portions of these funds from time to time, as the market rate of interest would allow them to be sold at or near par, the produce of the sale being laid out in purchase of three per cents. This plan would entail a alight temporary burden, "as an annual sum, in the Three-and-a-Quarter, Three and-a-Half', Three-and-Three-quarters, or Four per Cents., would not realise as large a price as the same sum in the Three per Cents. But there is an instance stated by M'Culloch which shows that the temporary increase of annual burden would be trifling compared with the ultimate reduction in the terms of redemption of the debt. In the year 1815, when the last loan to which I have called attention was contracted, 18 mil lions of Exchequer-bills were funded at the rate of 1071. ss. per cent. stock for every 1001., being at the rate of 51. 17s. per cent., or only 4s. Bd. per cent., or, according to the correction of Dr. Hamilton, of 2s. 6d. per cent., for the difference between funding Exchequer bills and raising loans on 2e. 2d. per cent. of additional annual charge. Thus, if the entire loan of 36,000,000/. in 1815 had been funded in 5 per cents., as the 18,000,000/. of Exchequer bills 1% ere, 24,120,000/. might have been saved in the terms of redemption, at the trifling annual charge of 39,000/. This last year would have afforded a most favourable opportunity for trying this plan of reduction, as the Funds were lower than they had been for many years. Even yet, Three-and-a-Half per Cents. would sell at par. If this plan of reduction were adopted, whenever the rate of interest rose they could reduce the annual charge. Nearly 3,000,000/. of annual charge has been saved by Government taking advantage of the fall in the rate of interest ; but I am not aware that any attempt has been made to take advantage of a rise in the rate of interest." There has been more Money Stock brought to market again this morning, and the quotations have been 83i to 84k for transfer, and 84 to for account. This still looks like " bulling."

TREATMENT OF MITCHEL AT SPIKE ISLAND.—A letter was received on Wednesday afternoon, by Mrs. Mitc h e l, f ro m her husband, in which he says he has been treated, at Spike Island, with as much kindness as could —according to the rules of the depot—be shown to him. The household furniture of the convict is to be sold by auction, in a few days, for the benefit of Mrs. Mitchel. NORTH CHESHIRE ELECTION.—The nomination of a knight of the shire for North Cheshire took place on Wednesday at Knutsford. Mr. George Cornwall Legh and Mr. F. D. P. Astley having been duly proposed and seconded, the show of hands was taken, and was declared to be in favour of Mr. Astley. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Legh. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. On the 25th of May the Ministry, in accordance with the decree issued by the EMPEROR from Inspruck, ordered the academic legion to dissolve, and imme diately to lay down their urms. A revolt instantly took place—students and ouvriers immediately raised barricades. At ten o'clock a collision took place between the soldiers and the people. The soldiers were repulsed, and retreated upon the glacis, and occupied all the bastions. Hostilities have not been renewed. The people called for the maintenance of the academic legion, the removal of the soldiers, the return of the EMPEROR within eight days, or the substitution of a Prince in his place. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. The German Parliament met on Monday. An interesting discussion then took place regarding the position of the members returned from Luxem bourg and Triers, and a Committee was formed for deliberation on these and similar matters, to be styled "Committee for Political and International Ques tions." We learn by a letter from Leipsic of the 28th ult. that a republican movement has taken place there. Placards stuck on the wall designated the 27th as the day on which the Republic was to be proclaimed. At ten o'clock in the evening of that day groups of work men assembled in the faubourgs, and as they would not disperse, the communal guard charged them with their bayonets, the workmen pelting the guards, whereby several were injured. The rioters then went towards the interior of the city, shouting "Hurrah for the Republic !" and erected barricades in some streets. But the communal guard and a part of the garrison attacked them with their bayonets, arrested several, and dispersed the rest. In Catharinenstrasse and in the Bruhl, the insurgents attacked the communal guard with fire-arms, to which the latter responded, but firing in the air so as to avoid shedding blood, The barricades were taken, and by two o'clock order was re-established. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND VENICE. Count NUGENT has resigned the command of the Austrian army, which, under the command of the Prince of TouIL and TAXIS, effected a junction with RADETSKT at Verona. The great age of Count NUGENT (he is upwards of eighty) is assigned as a reason for his resigning his command. RADETSXY has now 50,000 men under his command. A letter from Trent states that a sharp action be tween the regular troops of the Milanese and some Austrian regiments, assisted by irregular corps, had taken place near the Lake of Idro, in which the latter were victorious, having taken Caffaro, a strong post called Castel Lodrone, and repulsed the Italians as far as Rocca d'Anfo. News had arrived from Ferrara, announcing that General STABELLA, who showed an inclination to obey the King of NAPLES' injunctions to return to Naples with his troops, had been put under arrest, and that General PEPE having entered the Venetian territory, had declared that no Neapolitan soldier would return and abandon the Italian cause to be decided on the field of battle. S WIT ZERLAND. The representative of the canton of Geneva in the Swiss Diet has proposed that, in consequence of the recent events in Naples, the cantons who have mili tary agreements with the Neapolitan Government shall be invited to recal their troops. The proposi tion was ordered to be taken into consideration at an early sitting. TilE LEVANT. We have received Malta papers to the 23d instant. The illalta Mail gives the following from the East : " Our advises from Alexandria mention the fact that his highness the Viceroy is still in a deplorable state of health, although he is enabled to take carriage exer cise. His mental faculties are by no means im proved, and little hope exists of his being ever again enabled to assume the reins of power. The cholera has broken out at Constantinople with renewed force. No doubt now exists as to its real nature, formerly con sidered as typhus : from 12 to 23 victims per diem are numbered. The Ambassador from the Court of Borne to his Imperial Highness the Sultan, the Arch bishop Ferrieri, has deferred his intended departure till the end of the month. The following presents have been remitted to the Nuncio of his Holiness, for presen tation to him: a magnificent saddle, enriched with diamonds; e i.-„ , ht Arab hornes of great beauty; three mag afin ff-boxes enriched with diamonds; four de corationsu for distribution at his pleasure; 6 0 0 piques of Damascus cloth, beautifully embroidered, and of various jeets for e n o u l m ot b ir e s rdot.a (the pique is a measure of 227 inches); a great Smyrna carpets; 30 pieces of Angora shawl ing; an grand decoration for Pope Pius IX., and an other for the Ambassador. TURKEY. We read in the Courier de Constantinople of the 13th :—" The sendi ng of two Imperial Commis sioners into the principalities of Moldavia and 'Walla chia has just been decided at a Council of Ministers held at the Sublime Porte. This measure was taken in consequence of General DUUAMEL being sent as Russian Commissioner into the same principalities. We are unacquainted with the powers given to these Commissioners, but are told that they take with them firmans addressed to the Princes, approving of their conduct during the late disturbances at Yassi and Bukarest, and enjoining them to use every possible means for maintaining order and tranquillity in their provinces." 11AIVIBURGH MAIL. THE BOURSE.—Few transactions were concluded in exchanges. London was in demand. Berlin and Breslau were in demand at sight. No other busi ness. Money in abundance. Funds and Railway Shares a few transactions, at low prices. VIENNA BOURSE, MAY 28.—The Bourse was closed, in consequence of the riots. BERLIN, MAY 29.—1 n consequence of the reports of the riots at Vienna, the funds and railway shares fell at Copenhagen. COPENHAGEN, MAY 27.—The satisfactor intelli. y gence, that the Prussian troops had quitted Jutland, without levying the proposed contribution, and the powerful intervention of Russia, had caused business in Chenzi to be much improved.
