Mornlng .- 10 min. after 6 Evening •. 32 min. after :6 ruins by one of those appalling explosions of demo cracy which have latterly shaken Christendom to its foundations. Statesmen must mecitate on these things, they must acknowledge these things, they must act in accordance with these things— or perish. They must recognize a truth which is now happily beyond contradiction, namely that the vast and comprehensive will of a great people can no longer be compressed within the narrow compass of an iron and unelastic Constitution, as the colossal Geni inthe Arabian tale was confined in the interior of a brass pot. The sign-manual of a monarch has no longer a power like that possessed by the seal of the great SOLOMON. The attempt to exercise any such restrictive authority were as mad and destruc tive as the stopping up of the safety-valve of some enormous steam-engine. In speaking thus, we are uttering no sophisms or platitudes ; Europe is our wit ness—that Europe upon which the doom of king. craft is being written in awful characters, at this very hour, by the finger of the hand of GOD. It is at such a period as this that the English Government is required by the English people to do four great exigent deeds of justice. The Honourable Gentleman the Member for Montrose is the mouth piece of the English people in these their memorable and most momentous demands for political ameliora • tion. That he is not the organ of an inconsiderable faction, but that he is, on the contrary, the voice of that vast bulk of the community, is proved by a variety of indisputable evidences—by the petitions which have poured into Parliament—by the spontaneous meetings which have taken place throughout the kingdom, already numbering one hundred and thirty. And not only this, but reason and common sense tells one that the ballot, the extension of the suffrage to householders, the diminution of septennial to triennial Parliaments, and the distribution of _the country into electoral districts are boons for which the whole heart of England has been yearning. Be• yond all this, it is impossible to deny that the most intelligent politicians of the day are heart and soul in their coincidence with Mr. Hums. Sergeant TAL• roust"), it is true, may turn tail like a legislative pol troon, and suddenly, at the very moment when his adhesion to the Liberal cause is of the most conse quence, transform himself into an upholder of a system of Finality. But, thank GOD, the happiness and the liberty of England are not dependent upon the whims of a dramatist, or upon the voluble inconsis tency of a poetic barrister. The people have still left to them men such as RICHARD COBDEN, men who in defiance of the prejudices of oligarchism have the courage to eulogize the aspirations of the democracy) men who oppose to the platitudes of the Ministerial partisan the solid and incontrovertible logic of the citizen and the patriot. Willingly would we enter upon a copious examination of the luminous speech delivered last evening by the honourable and illus trious orator the representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire. We regard his oration upon Parliamentary Reform as of such remarkable importance, however, constituting as it does the epitome of the whole ques tion, that we postpone all commentary upon his ar guments until to-morrow. We shall then demon strate that such innovations as those which are em• bodied in the motion of JosErn HumE, so far from being of a factious or frivolous character, are, lite rally speaking, of the very safest tendency—that ten dency being to enlarge the foundations of our great and glorious Constitution. On Wednesday we directed the public attention to the vast importance of the inland fisheries of Ireland, and the necessity for an immediate amendment of the 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 106, so as to render it a really efficient measure, calculated to restore the salmon fisheries in the various rivers to their former pro ductive condition. Half a century ago, these rivers were abundantly stocked with large quantities of that valuable fish, affording both pleasure and profit in the capture to the inhabitants of the several districts, and yielding a large addition to the resources of the country, supplying the population with a cheap, wholesome, and palatable description of food. Since that period, however, a se rious diminution has taken place in the numbers entering the fresh waters from the sea. In place of being within therreach of the humblest, from their extraordinary abundance and cheapness, they can now only be procured in small quantities and at an enormous increase of price. Every class was injured; but for a considerable period, no active measures were taken to provide a remedy for the acknow ledged evil. The inland' proprietors looked on with apathy while bodies ,of poachers destroyed the fish upon the spawning beds at unseasonable times, with nets, lights, spears, gaffs, &c., &c., although every fish thus destroyed, would have yielded an increase of several hundredfold. It is true that some zealous and energetic men endeavoured to arrest the work of destruction, and to show the parties engaged therein the gross folly of their conduct, but their exertions being isolated, and not receiving the general support they merited, were productive of little benefit. Many causes contributed to produce this negli gence, but chiefly the practical monopoly exercised by a few weir-owners at the mouths of the several rivers, who not content with obtaining a fair share of the sport, carried their works to such an extent, that few fish could escape the wholesale slaughter. Under such circumstances it could hardly be expected that the inland proprietors would incur a direct expense and trouble in putting down the poaching, when they would subsequently be deprived of the fruits of their exertions in a manner which they believed, and which the law has since declared to be, equally illegal. At length, however, a greater de gree of activity has become manifested. Recent de cisions in the law courts have shown that there is a remedy for tke grievance ; that the salmon fishery of Ireland may again be rendered a source of national wealth, by a firm and efficient enforcement of the ex isting law, and by the legislative sanction being ob tained to such alterations therein as may be deemed essential to the attainment of that object. Many in fluential noblemen and gentlemen have determined to cooperate together for the purpose, and as a first step, by the assistance of intelligent and experienced men, they traced out the causes of the continued de crease, and suggested certain improvements by which those causes should be removed. These were brought under the notice of the Irish Executive, and a pledge was obtained from the Earl of CLARENDON that a Bill should be introduced into Parliament containing the necessary enactments. But, as usual, delays have been interposed. The session is drawing to a close, and nothing has as yet been done towards the accomplishment of their reasonable wishes. Under these circumstances a memorial was yes terday presented to the First Lord of the Treasury, by a deputation, consisting of many of the most in fluential Noblemen and gentlemen connected with Ireland, which so fully points out the great impor tance of the subject, that we publish it in extenso " We the undersigned, firmly convinced that an ac knowledged great, though undeveloped source of national wealth lies dorma n t in our country, request the imme diate attention of y our L or d s hi p to this important sub ject— th e improvement o f t h e salmon fi sher i es o f I re l an d . [he Irish Executive, app ear i ng j ust l y i mpresse d w i t h the magnitude of this question, have, after mature deli beration, we believe, strongly recommended the addition of certain amendments to previous Acts, which, though containing much intrinsic excellence, are powerless tur want of such amendments. After repeateci conferences with his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, the Lord Clarendon, and un der the s upposition that a Bill was forthwith to be brought before Parliament to re medy existing defects, and which has ac tually been proposed, and, pursuant to com pact with Lord Clarendon, submitted to the consideration of interested parties, many of whose re presentatives are at present in London, awaiting w i t h feelings of almost perfect unanimity , the introduction of this promised measure, and anxious to assist the Go vernment in doing so, by every means in their power. In conclusion, we earnestly expect from your Lordship's Ministry the fulfilment of justified expectations, by im mediately bringing the Bill before the douse, a mea sure whose results will be positively beneficial to com merce, wal give extended employment to operatives, and increased food to a nation." This important document, accompanied as it was by the energetic remonstrances of so many influential Members of both branches of the Legislature, must produce the most satisfactory effect in stimulating the Government into some degree of activity on this subject. We trust that its fruits will be manifested during the en suing week, by the introduction of the required Bill. We shall from time to time point out the nature of the proposed amendments, and the reasons which im peratively call for their adoption. In the meanwhile we shall only urge the absolute necessity of perfect unanimity amongst all classes of Irishmen, the humblest as well as the most exalted, on this subject. , 4,, ~, so, 71 ; , I l ., _: 714,_..... ~.rz,, .

They must either obey the necessities of the age on the instant, or have the sword of the law broken ignominiously over their heads, and the spurs of administration struck off their heels by the axe of the people. The lesson is being roared into their ears every day by the thunders of revolution. Nations have been revealing the great truth to them one after another since the commencement of 1848 ; the whole continent has presented, in a series of catastrophes, the one warning spectacle that those legislators who evince a disposition to delay and those sovereigns who follow the insane and obsolete policy of stubbornness are blasted, in the winking of an eye, by the lightnings of popular vengeance. Did GUIZOT obstruct the wishes of the population ?—he was corn p-11(.(1 to ily in the disguise of a footman from his official residence in the Rue des Capuchins. Did AlETTheeicu, raise his solitary will as a barrier against the demands of a populous empire ?—he was obliged to fly like a thief in the night time, from his palace at Johannisburg. Was Louis Piiimere ob stinate ?—he fled from the Tuileries, to shelter him self in the drawing-rooms of Claremont. Was FER DINAND doubtful as to the propriety of innovation ? he sneaked from the Imperial dangers of Vienna to the ignoble safety of Inspruck. Almost every king dom on the European continent has cfforded a ter rible corroboration to this one gigantic fact—that the just and natural rights of the multitude were no longer to be withheld from them with impu. nity. Look, for proof of this, not only to France and Austria, hut to Bavaria, to Den mark, to Sweden, to Prussia, to Piedmont, to Tuscany, in fact to almost every corner of the con tinent or of its peninsulas. Everywhere reforms have been either granted or volunteered, or thrones have been shaken down and their occupants driven forth as fugitives. There is no medium now-a-days between concession and annihilation. Either the Governments of the civilized races of the nineteenth century must yield at once, and cordially, to the de sires of the population, or they are scattered into THE SUN, SPAIN• Madrid papers of the Ist July have arrived. Considerable alarm was created on the 30th by reports that FAGOAGA, director of the bank of San Fernando, had fled, or concealed himself. He had resigned his post of director, and CARRAJERIA was appointed pro tem. in his place. The acting func tionary declared that the bank is fully able to meet it engagements with the Government, and that the usual payments to the various Ministers, the dividends of the debt, &c., will be furnished punctually as heretofore, while no fresh impediments will be placed in the way of chaeging notes. CARRAJERIA bears a high character. The Forel deputations of the three Basque pro vinces, Alava, Guipuscoa, and Biscay, have made a voluntary offering of a million of reels for her MA JESTY'S service, which is duly announced in the Gazette in an address to the QUEEN, and a Royal order signed by the Duke of VALENCIA., returning thanks. The departure of the QUEEN for La Granja is fixed for the 17th inst. The Carlists are very active in the northern pro vinces. _ _ _ MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 30.—Three per Cents, 22.";-; Five per Cents., 13. Exchange on London, 41 50. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE FUNERAL OF THE VICTIMS.-RE- SIGNATION OF M. CARNOT. The funeral of the victims of thie last outbreak was fixed to take place yesterday. It had been originally proposed that after the celekation of the funeral service in the church of the Madeleine, the funeral procession should have proceeded along the Boulevards to the Place de la Bastille, where in the vaults beneath the Column of July the bodies would have been deposited. This plan, however, has been altered. In the sitting of Wednesday the President announced to the National Assembly that as the vaults under the Column of July were not yet prepared, the bodies would, for the present, be deposited in the Madeleine. There will, there fore, be no procession to the Place de la Bastille. The true reason of this postponement of the proces sion is said to be the discovery by the Police of a plot to shoot General CAVAIGNAC and his officers as they pass along the Boulevards, in the procession. There is a grand altar erected in the Place de la Concorde, close to the Madeleine, at which a funeral service will be celebrated by the Bishop of Oa- LEANS. The funeral of the Archbishop of PARIS takes place to-day. The following Deputies have een elected Vice- Presidents of the Assembly for the month of July —Messrs. GEORGES LAFAYETTE, CORDON, LACROSSE, MARRAST, CORMENIN, and PORTALIS, all moderate Republicans. The two Secretaries, OSCAR LAFA TETTE and PEAN were re-elected. At the close of the sitting of Wednesday the As • tenably had an opportunity of passing a vote of want of confidence in M. CARNOT, the Minister of Public Instruction, and the only remaining member of the Ledru Rollin faction at present, holding office. Of this opportunity the Assembly at once availed itself. Towards the close of the sitting, AI. CARNOT, as Mi nister of Public Instruction, brought forward a pro ject relative to primary teachers, which would require the allocation of a million of francs. M. BONJEAN as. cended the tribune, And produced a book, which had with been published the authorization of the Minister, under the title of " Manuel Republicain." Under the head of property there occurs this question and answer— " Pupil—Are there any means for preventing the rich from being lazy, and the poor from being devoured by the rich ? " Schoolmaster—Yes, there are excellent means. The directors of the Republic will find these means so soon as they seriously desire to practise fraternity. It is with capital and property as with all other liberties: the law which recognises them may set hounds to their action. Without destroying the right of inheritance, it may be limited for the public interest; and without sup pressing the interest of capital, many measures may be taken fur rendering it as feeble as may be desired. Then the rich can no longer be idle, and the poor will easily find credit and become rich." Again— " The law may impose all kinds of conditions on those who hold land, and may even expropriate it by allowing an indemnity, if bad use be made of it. As for those great proprietors whom you so much dread, know that if they pay the Republic proper taxes, and give good terms to their workmen, they would soon be obliged to sell their lands to citizens who would make a better use of them. Laws would be made for that when ne cessary." With regard to the rights of industry and wages there is the following:— " Pupil-11as the Republic the right to interfere with the condition of labour, and in regulating wages? " Schoolmaster—Without doubt, and can exercise it in the name of the people. The Republic in assuring liberty to commerce and industry acquires in conse quence the right of submitting this liberty to all sorts of conditions derived from the common interest. This is what is called at ycmisation du travail." Questions and answers throwing doubts also on the rights of family appear in this strange book. M. BONJEAN proposed by way of eensure upon the Minister of Public Instruction a reduction of 6,000 francs on the credit, and alluded in terms of severity to the notorious circulars which M. CARNOT had issued while he was a member of the Provisional Government. The Minister of Public Instruction endeavoured to justify his administration. Ile endeavoured to justify the famous electoral circulars in favour of ignorance, on the ground that he thought country people the fittest to represent the interests of the country ; and with respect to the Manual from which the above extracts are taken, he said that they were intended more for electors than pupils. A scene of inlescribable confusion ensued, in the creation of which Al. FLOCON was particularly active, arid at length the atnendment was carried by 314 to 303, being a majority of 11 against the Ministry, or rather against M. CARNOT, In the Moniteur of yesterday appears the following decree : " FRENCH REPUBLIC. " In the name of the French people ! " The President of the Council charged with the exe cutive power determines : " The Citizen Vaulabelle is appointed Minister of Public Instruction, in place of the Citizen Carnot, whose resignation is accepted.

The Gazette des Tribunaux says " There have been found upon one of the insurgents sufficient evidences of the means by which it was intended that the insurrection should reach the National Assembly. The chiefs of the barricoles were to assemble in the Quartier Saint Lazare, near the railroad. They were to cut off the Rue du Havre and the Rue du Tronchet, and having made themselves masters of the barracks of the Assumption, cut off also the Rue Nationale (Royale), and thence menace the Assembly, while other columns were to advance upon it, with the same system of barri cades, at the Place de Bourgogne. But it appears that the alertness with which the Ist, 2d, and 10th Legions turned out and mustered, prevented the insurrection from com mencing its attack at these different points at the same time as in the Quartiers Poissonniere, Saint Antoine, and Saint Jacques. The Moniteur de l'Armec says— " In no battle of the Republic or the empire, with the exception of the battle of Moscow, the most sanguinary of modern times, were so many generals and superior officers killed and wounded as in the four days of the late insurrection in Paris, in which four generals were killed and seven wounded. At the late battle of Arcole, which lasted three days, only one general was killed and six wounded ; at Marengo only one general lost his life, and four only were wounded. At the battle of Auster litz only one general was killed and six were wounded. At Wagrana two generals only were killed and seven wounded ; and at Waterloo only one general officer tell on the field of battle ; the other was killed by the Rus sians after the combat." The Messager says that during the first days of the insurrection a great number of houses on the Boulevards in the Rue Neuve des Petits Champs (amongst them that of a jeweller), and in the Quartier de la Madeleine, were marked with a red Cross. The seizures of arms still continue. The wound of General Duvivimx is going so un favourably that amputation has become necessary. The prisoners detained in the dungeons of the bar racks in the Rue de Tournon managed to tunnel through to the catacombs which extend under Paris. About 100 of them entered the catacombs, but the others remained, fearing they might be lost in the darkness amid s t th e i n t r i ca t e passagas w hi c h ex t e nd for miles under ground. These unfortunate persons have not been seen or heard of since. They have not made their escape fr om th e catacom b s b y th e usua l places of ingress and egress, and the searches that have been made after them have been hitherto unsuccessful. Torches, however, have b een l e f t b urn i ng i n t h e cata combs, to direct them on their way, but the proba bility is that the whole of them will perish from star vation. In the Bureaux the question of the expropriation of the railways was again brought forward, and the Ministero Finance was strongly urged to declare explicitly whether or not the proposed expropriation was definitively abandoned, or only postponed. The answer of the Minister implied that the State main tained the right of exproptlation, but only intended to exercise it with the acquiescence of the companies ; in fact, it is intended to expropriate the railways, or such of them as may be surrendered by the companies to the State on terms mutually acceded to. The committee of war have agreed to recommend that an army of 50,000 men shall be assembled and maintained around Paris. _ . _ The first division of the army of the Alps, under the command of General MANGIN, has arrived at Vincennes. The funeral procession of the victims of the 23d of June has passed off without accident. It was at tended by General CAYAIGNAC ' the Ministers, and several Members of the National Assembly. The Bourse was closed. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 6.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Vienna papers of the Ist announce the withdrawal of the Italian fleet from the waters of Trieste, in con sequence of the representations of the Bavarian and Prussian Ministers. The Ministers have received very favourable in telligence from Inspruck. The deputation from Servia and Croatia was not admitted as such to the audience of his MAJESTY. The individual members were admitted to a private audience, and his Ma- JESTY declared to them that the resolution of the Municipal Congregation of Agram, and of the Car lowitz Congress were drawn up illegally ; and that they could only lay their wishes before him through the medium of the General Hungarian Diet and the Hungarian Ministry; that he would, however, ever uphold their rights inviolate. The Archduke JonN has been appointed mediator between the Hungarians and the Illyrians. The Royal proclamation to the Servians has pro duced a very favourable impression. The greater number of them have laid down their weapons, with out, at the same time, laying claim to paternal inde pendence.— Wiener Zeitung, July 1. VIENNA, JULY 2.—A courier who has just arrived at the Ministry of War has brought the intelligence that our troops have again taken the heights of Ri voli, and are bombarding the town from thence. The capitulation of Venice is daily expected. The Mi nisterial Council is said to have declared its firm re solve to conclude a peace at Milan, and if needs be in Turin also. The Austrian army in Italy will be immedi ately reinforced by at least 30,000 men. Fourteen battalions are already marching thither. In Bohemia and Moravia large levies of troops are being made. The intelligence that MANIN, President of the Venice Republic, had gone to Paris, is not correct. He had repaired to the head-quarters of CHARLES ALBERT, in order to lay before him the urgent state of affairs. The result of his mis-ion is said, however, to have been very favourable. According to reports from Field-Marshal WEL DEN, dated Treviso, June 27, he garrisoned Fort Goronella on the 25th, by which movement Venice is now completely surrounded in the whole extent from thence to Cortelezzo. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING-, JULY 7, 1848. WALLACHIA• BUCHAREST, Joni; 22.—Yesterday great appre hension* were entertained of a general rising here, as the ilospodar, who had returned to Bucharest at the desire of Russia, has fled from it with his family, in consequence of the cholera. DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN. JULY 2.—The Prussian field post is now in Hader sleben, consequently the Germans again hare posses ision of the northern part of the country, near Schott burger An. The statu quo in the negotiations wait 'accordingly comprehend the whole Duchy. The Danes retreated quietly during the night, from Ha dersleben, on the approach of the Germans. They blew up the bridge, by which two houses were de molished, during their retreat. They fought valiantly with the Schleswig-Holstein Jagers. A Prussian officer and three privates were wounded in the skir mish with the outpost. Five Danish prisoners were brought in here yes day, which caused a very great excitement among the Danes who are lying sick at the hospital. It is affirmed that Prince FREDERICK of Prussia was fired upon, from four different houses, at his country seat in Isladersleben. We have nothing decisive of the skirmish at Chris tiansfeld, where there is said to have been bloody work. Some reports affirm that it was merely the encounter of a few squadrons of cavalry, while the Danes were retreating to Jutland. Some natives of Flensburg, who had been in triguing with the enemy, hive been carried off to Rendsburg. RENDSBURG, JULY 3.—ln the sitting of the Schleswig. Holstein Diet to. day, the Commis sioner read a report from the General in Command of the Schleswig. Holstein troops, Prince VON ROER, giving an account of the engagement between the Federal troops and the Danes, which took place at Hadersleben on the 28th. It appears from the report that in the second engage. innit, no less than fifty-eight Danes were taken pri soners by the Germans. It is most remarkable, that among the German troops there was not one killed, nor even wounded. The Hanthurgh Correspondent, of the 4th, gives the following extracts from a setter, dated from the camp on the Ist :—" The Schleswig-Holstein Jager troops had broken up on the morning of the 24th from Ries as avant garde further northward, when they met a hostile line drawn up at Hadersleben, with an hurrah fur Schleswig - Holstein. A small division of the 4th company of the Jagers stormed the city, but they were soon reinforced by the 2d and 3d companies, and the field pieces, which were directed against the buildings and magazines. The Danes were stationed and fired upon us from behind the sacks of meal. Three houses ,in Hadersleben was set on fire. Prince FREDERICK, who was present, is said to have been especially aimed at. The Danes were well fortified. All the windows were taken out and bricked up, leaving only sufficient space for the rifles to pass through. After a sharp encounter, the Jagers returned to bivouac at night, and at two o'clock in the morning, they received intelligence that the Danes had quitted Hadersleben. The Federal army broke up, the Jager corps taking the lead. Passing through Haderslaben, they encountered the enemy about a league beyond it the Jager corps, 2d battalion, and Ist Jager corps having incessantly pursued the enemy. The Danes, however, retreated in perfect order to Kolding. Forty men, who be longed to Schleswig, deserted from the Danes to the Jager corps. The Danes lost 37 dead and wounded at Hadersleben, and 73 prisoners. The Germans had 17 wounded. Among the prisoners is a student from Upsal. After the enemy had been across the boundaries of the country, then took their position at Solund, where they are now stationed. HAMBURGH, JULY 3.—Several hundred wounded of the 10th Army corps have been removed to the Jewish Hospital, and to the Hemp Magazine, in the suburbs of St. Pauli, as there are already above 800 wounded in Altona. COPENHAGEN, J U LY I.—We have just received official intelligence of the advance of the Federal troops, 26,000 men, and the retreat of the Danes to Kolding. The King of Dertmaste. has given 1,000 rix dollars from his privy purse for the relief of the Stade pri soners of war. The Diet of Jutland was closed on the 24th. A traveller, on whose authority we can depend, and who left Copenhagen on the morning of the 3d, affirms that there is a prevailing report there that on the morning of the 2d an armistice between Germany and Denmaik had been definitively concluded for three months. The conditions, so far as they are understood at Copenhagen, are as follow : " The evacuation of Funen by the Swedes, and of Schleswig by the German troops. " Schleswig to be wholly ungarrisoned. " Raising of the blockade of the German harbours, and the delivery of the German ships detained in Copenhagen. " The latter stipulation to be carried into effect so soon as the value in money of the requisitions made by . the Prussian troops in Jutland shall have been refunded." The Berliner Nachrichten states that the object of General PITEL'S journey to St. Petersburgh is to confirm the Russian Cabinet in its present amicable sentiments towards Prussia and Germany. THE PROVINCES of the DANUBE. Intelligence has been received from Temeswar that about 700 insurgents, headed by GEORGE STANA MIROWITCII and NOVAKOWITCII, rose against the town of Weisz-Kirchen on the 23d, and demanded the Lieutenant-General, DREIIIORN to surrender. This he limmediately did without offering any oppo sition, ;giving up the town, with three cannons, 215 muskets, 30 cwt. of powder, and a company of sol diers. Lieutenant-General DREIHORN is accused of treachery, as he might have called in the aid of 1,200 civic guards. From Weisz-Kirchen the insurgents proceeded to Werschetz near Temeswar, where an encounter was expected to take place. On the 30th GEORGE STANA MIROWITSCII arrived from Servia, and his troops were chiefly composed of rebels who had come from Bel grade. The intelligence from Carlowitz and Newsatzis on the contrary, more satisfactory. The greater portion of the Sclavonian borderers and peasants bare in consequence of the KING'S proclamation, broken up the camp at Carlowitz and the so-called Roman entrenchments, and have gone home. His MAJESTY'S new proclamation positively enjoins that all the cannons and weapons that have been taken shall be returned. The Hungarian Ministry have issued a proclama tion to the States of Transylvania respecting the junction of these states with Hungary. It is an event, they say, which has tilled every breast with joy, and from which the happiest results are an ticipated. BOHEMIA. PRAGUE, JUNE 27.—We still continue in a state of siege. The delivering up of arms goes on but slowly. The Diet of Bohemia has been adjourned till after the opening of the Diet of Vienna. The mischief caused by the bombardment is less than was at first apprehended. The loss of men is also not so great as was at first reported. Among the privates 22 were killed, and 17 are still missing ; 42 were wounded, and are now in the hospitals. Of the officers three were killed, and eight wounded.—Augs burgh Gazette. The Prague Gazette contains a publication of the President, Count Tnomv, in which, by command of the Estruitott, he declares the Provisional Govern ment Council to be dissolved. Another proclamation dissolves the National Committee. PRUSSIA. OFFICIAL. BERLIN, JULY 4.—The Royal Commandant has jut issued the following proclamation : " Yesterday some persons used tire•arms in the vicinity of the Laboratory. The balls passed over the heads of the sentinels who were stationed there, and likewise close by them. In consequence of this outrage the comman dant has given orders that the sentinels shall in future be stationed there with loaded pistols, so that in the event of the recurrence of similar illegal and murderous attempts, they may be able to act with energy. The same is hereby notified to the public, by way of caution. " ASCHOFF, Royal Commandant. " Berlin, July 3." ITALY. LOMBARDY AID VENICE. The .Correspondent of the Debuts gives the following from the heactsquarters of Charles Albert, at Rover bells, 29th ult.:— _ _ " The King is irrevocably determined to fulfil his engage ments for the deliverance of Venice. Whatever sacrifices it may cost Piedmont, and in spite of the efforts which our soldiers may have to make, we shall not lay down our arms until the Austrians shall have crossed the Alps. If Charles Albert had wished to have stopped at the Adige the present war would 'long since have been terminated ; for on those conditions the Cabinet of Vertigo had several times made overtures, but which have constantly been refused by him. " Fresh troops daily arrive to reinforce us from the interior of the kingdom, and as they come up they are echelonne.e on the Mitten), so as to cover the rear of .our army, and to per mit those already in those positions to advance and reinforce the centre. "Our reserve battalions which are on the Tesino and the Po, as well as the fresh levies from Lombardy, also daily arrive. Seven thousand men perfectly well equipped and well drilled are already cantoned at Boazolo, where they will be of great service. The advantages gained over the enemy in all the ren contres that we have had have given a confidence to our army which it is important to maintain. The King has, therefore, considered it better to act with prudence, and not to run a risk of weakening the morale of his troops by rash or useless movements, for the main question with us is to gain possession of Verona. Without the possession of that place our left wing, in spite of the strong positions which it occupies at Tivoli and at Corona, will find itself paralysed and we should be compelled, on the other hand, to lose a time precious to our brethren at Venice in laying regular sieges to Mantua and Legnano. " God knows what will be the result of this ! but good right is on our aide; the firm and loyal intentions of Charles Albert to secure for ever the independence and happiness of the new kingdom of Northern Italy are the certain guaran tees to us, that sooner or later we shall expel the foreigner, who endeavoured by all the means in his power to prolong his domination over unhappy Italy. " In fine, King, princes, generals, officers, and soldiers, we are all animated by the truest and purest patriotism and ardour, and you ought not to be astonished at our daring to hope for a better future." The Veutidue Murzo, of Milan, of the 30th ult., pub- lishes a bulletin from Venice, announcing that General PEPE, on the 26th, visited all the forts along the coast up to the mouth of the Adige, and ordered General ULLoA, chief of his staff, to form an entrenched camp from Fort Brondolo to the sea coast. On the 29th CHARLES ALBERT left Valeggio for Eoverbella. The Austrians had abandoned Isola della Scala, and concen trated themselves around Verona. A great movement is perceptible among the Piedmontese troops. NAPLES. Intelligence to the 28th ult. has been received from Naples. The Calabrians are in ope❑ insurrection. At Apulia the people have refused to elect Deputies, con tending that the former Chamber was illegally dissolved. In other places they have returned their former repre sentatives. On the 25th a revolt broke out among the galley slaves in the Island of rrocida. ARMISTICE BETWEEN DEN MARK AND GERMANY FOR THREE MONTHS. The following letter, containing the above important announcement, has been handed to us for publication:— " Hamburgh Borsenhalle Office, "Tuesday Evening, 9 o'clock, July 4, 1848. " To Capt. Halsted, 8.N., Secretary, Lloyd's. " Sir,—We this moment receive confirmation of the report stated in our paper of this evening, that an armis tice of three months has been convened between Ger many and Denmark, on the following conditions : " 1.

Before he got a table, he was so jogged and pushed that he did not believe ho could read with any degree of accuracy the notes which he took. The witness then read the speech of the chairman of the meet ing. He said the Government had transported John Mit chel from the land of his forefathers, simply because he loved his country; but they had done more; they had de secrated his name, for they sent a band of ruffians to his house, whilst his wife was bereaving his loss, to rob her of the little property that belonged to her. This was the con duct of the tyrannous, villanous, and despotic Government; and would they, as Irishmen, allow it? Were they not cowards to allow it?—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") " Vengeance was theirs by the Lord." The witness said he wished his Lordship to understand that he could not swear to the ac curacy of the notes he had read, as he took them sitting on the damp ground, with the crowd about. A cry of " Po lice," caused the people to run ; be did not see the police on that occasion. Mr. Jones spoke next.

(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and the RECORDER.) ARDUCTION OF THE REV. MR. HARVEY'S DAUGHTER.— Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared to prosecute Thomas Buxton Barnes for the abduction of Miss Harvey, a young lady be tween fifteen and sixteen tears of age, and the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Harvey, of Thaxted, applied to the Court to be allowed to withdraw the prosecution. He said the abduc tion in question was followed by a marriage, and there was every reason to believe that it was a legal and legitimate marriage, and could not be put aside under any circum stances. He therefore respectfully asked leave of the Court to withdraw from offering any evidence against the prisoner, seeing the effect would be that the punishment which would be inflicted upon him, and which he richly deserved, would unhappily fall upon the unfortu nate young lady who had been betrayed by him. Under these circumstances, he b gged of his Lordship for permis sibn to withdraw from offering any evidence, which request lie was sure would be immediately granted, as it would spare a:most highly-respectable family the necesaity of going into a'most paint ul inquiry. After a few observations from Mr. BALLANTINE, who at tended to defend the prisoner, The COURT consented to the application, and the jury, by the direction of the Judge, returned a verdict of Not guilty. The prisoner was consequently discharged. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast wise, has been decidedly on the increase ; but the sup ply by land carriage has been small. 'ro•clay the show of samples of both red and white was very moderate ; yet the demand, arising from the absence of the princi pal buyers, was in a very sluggish state, at Monday's quotations. In foreign Wheat exceedingly little busi uess was doing, yet the importers, as the weather is somewhat unsettled, would not submit to lower prices. Nearly 15,000 quarters of foreign Barley have come to . band. This large supply had a depressing influence upon the trade, and to effect large sales ls. per qr. legs money must have been submitted to by the holders. In Malt next to nothing was doing, with a Lull average supply on otter. The supply of foreign Oats exceeded 26,000 quarters ; however the Oat trade was heavy, at 6d. per quarter decline. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were a very slow inquiry. In prices, however, we have no alteration to notice. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. 4,530 qrs. English ......

The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas took his seat on the bench at a quarter to eleven o'clock, before which time Mr. Commissioner Bullock sat. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL intimated that the Crown did not intend to proceed wills the other indictments against Vernon. Mr. Bannv complimented the Attorney-General upon the adoption of this course by him, and consented to have the depositions, with respect to the other charges, handed up to his Lordship. then placed at Alexander Sharpe, aged 27, printer, was Junethe b.ar There i cwas o d o t t h b e r r a i d m ic i t s n d , e e m n t e a a n g o a u ji r i s t o on him the h f e or 4 a th rnis of demeanour on the 26th of May.

The meeting in question was held in Bishop Bonner's-fields, at three o'clock, on the 4th of June. A Chartist meeting was held at the same place at five o'clock. A person named Curtain presided, and a person named Henry Jones addressed the assembly. It was attended by a number of Irish Confederates, and a resolution was passed, stating, that the conduct of the Government with respect to John Mitchel was tyrannous, base, and even bloody. The pri soner seconded the motion, and addressed the meeting in a violent strain abusive of the Government, and expressive of his opinion that the "destruction of the Government was necessary for the welfare of society." Two professional short ' hand writers attended, the Government having received in timation of the meeting. (The Attorney-General then read the speech at length.) The prisoner said, Mitchel had been punished for nothing, except teaching the people their duty. Why, Mitchel, he should prove, was punished for inciting the people 6,f Ireland to direct rebellion. After the violent speech which the prisoner made a riot took place, a policeman was struck with an iron bar, the church was at tacked, a conflict ensued, and surely it was not too much to say that the prisoner had contributed in a great degree to promote it. He asked his Lordship to give an exposition of the law with respect to riot, because he apprehended that the prisoner had been guilty of that offence, and that if con victed the punishment of hard labour should be superadded to it. Mr. H. J. Doogood, short-hand writer, examined by Mr. WELSI3II, said he attended the meeting; 6,000 or 7,000 persons were present ; he took notes of the speeches. The witness then read the speech of the defendant from his short-hand notes, the Learned Judge following him by the transcript. It was to this effect, that it he once went to prison he would contaminate all he came near with his principles, for wherever he promulgated them he was sore to obtain disciples, and such demonstrations of the people would even cause the Government to tremble at their power. He had a right to advise the people to resort to ulterior measures, as Lord John Russell did before the passing of the Reform Bill ; that he was ready to become the colonel of a yeomanry raised by the people. If he bad been at Redcross-street instead of Greenwich, when the people were attacked by the police, he should have advised the people to surround them, and then they would have begged for mercy ; also that he should have advised the people to have surrounded the House of Commons, not to injure the Members, but to teach the House that they required reform. If the police assailed them, they should defend themselves; and if they could not get stones, they could obtain plenty of iron railings in London. A policeman must strike several times with his truncheon before he could disable a man. but one blow with an iron railing would settle hum. He did not advise them to do this at that time, as it was unnecessary; although there were soldiers and police in the neighbour.. hood, the meeting were too peaceable to render *their inter- ference necessary.

Many of them appeared to be Irishmen, by whom the senti ments were received with great applause. Ernest Jones spoke at the meeting. The first meeting separated about five, and those who had composed it moved about the com mon. The people were addressed from a mound. Sharpe addressed the second meeting. Jones said the church near at hand was desecrated by being filled by policemen. Cross-examined—Went expressly to the meeting for the purpose of taking notes for the Crown. He took the notes on a policeman's back ; his elbow was not jogged, as he was protected by some policemen in private clothes. Sharpe was an easy speaker; he took down all he said. It was possible lie might have mistaken the meaning of some sentences. lie did not recollect haVing said to any one near him " What were the last words ?" or, " What was that ?" Sometimes, owing to the applause, it was difficult for reporters to catch the ends of sentences. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ... o ... o IF STAINED WITH CRIME YOU SHALL NOT "VOTE. Whenever I. have read this harsh decree of my brother Reformers my heart has bled. No history, sacred or profane, seems to sustain them in such a Monstrous edict. We read, we preach, we lecture, we print, we discuss, for what? To convert, to create a feeling, a love . for the holy, pure, and beautiful. To subdue man's evil passions, to abate his ferocious tem perament, to wean him with the law of kindness from the path of vice to that of virtue. We proclaim, with Christian zeal, that none are so lost but may be re- • deemed; that past follies can be • amended; past crimes forgiven and forgotten. Our laws estensibly punish, not to degrade but to reform. Penitentiaries are to reclaim and restore, but harsh reforming man—the progressive being—the advocate of freedom and liberty—the noble enunciator of political equality, most inconsistently places the true penitent without the pale of electoral .power for. ever! This is wrong, an invasion of His divine will who meekly ejaculated, " Go thy way, and sin no more." Votes to air but those who are stained with crime. This is an übsolute decree of the rankest tyranny unknown even with the present limited fran chise. If a man commits a felony—undergoes the punishment of the law for it—is emancipated, resolves that his future career shall more than compensate for his past error, he struggles onward, indomitable in dustry leads to comparative comfort, his life is a pattern of frug ality, sobriety, and virtue. His worth is gradualy seen, ultimately acknow ledged, society receives, and is, proud of the man. He becomes a deacon of a chapel, the simple rectitude of his life makes him beloved. Past sbrrows; shame, and ;degradation, are all obliterated. The convictedfelon has returned to honesty—the practice of honesty creates him friends ; he toils on, marries, becomes a father, and the dark cloud which once threatened to shipwreck him is o'ercome; sunshine is now his reward; his cup of happiness is full ; he is a happy, pious Christian. A general election comes ; a bitter, vindic tive, ruthless, political opponent is aware of •• the one false step," long, long since atoned fur, but he malig nantly resolves to open the wound, as the new law pro• hibits such as he from exercising the privilege of voting. The election day arrives ; the worthy man presents him self to vote ; his implacable foe is there, and openly declares, in the public polling booth, that he is a con victed felon, therefore not allowed to vote. The whole place is electrified. The good man is weighed down with unquenchable shame ; he hastily leaves the amazed gaze of his fellow-citizens who thought so highly of him, and seeks refuge at home. The infamy flies with as tounding rapidity through the town, and the next day the political victim finds all his honourable exertions of self-denial to expiate his only crime as fresh and as crushing us the hour he left his loathsome dungeon to become a wiser and a better man."

MR. WEBSTEIt'S BENEFIT.—TO• morrow night is fixed for the benefit of Mr. Webster, the English ma nager of the English Haymarket Theatre, and it will be the last night but one of the season at this, the only theatre lett us devoted exclusively to the representation of the British drama. No man has laboured more assi duously than has Mr. Webster, through good and through evil fortune, to maintain and uphold that dra matic supremacy which was achieved for us by Shakspere, and which has been sacrificed to show, and sound, and gewgaw, by those „.‘ penny wise and pound foolish" managers who, impudently as suming that the English public had no dramatic taste turned the stage of our patent theatres into show booths, or something worse, and then wondered that they were ruined. Not so Mr. Webster. Be has always set his face against the substitution of show for poetry, and while every actor of talent and reputation has ever found a home at the Haymarket, it has always been as one of the company. Mr. Webster has always set his face against th e s t ar s y stem w hi c h h as b een t h e ruin of the drama. " The play 's the thing" to which he has always attended, and to which alone every true artist, 'whether, man ager or ac t or s h ou ld at t en d. Hi s exertions in support of the dramatists have been un tiring. Not to mention his liberal offer of a prize of tool. fur the best five set Comedy, let us run over the names of some of the plays which he has added to our stock list during the time he has had the manage ment of the Haymarket. Of playa "which are not of a day but for all time" which Mr. Webster has produced, we may mention the Lore Chase, Money, Time works Wonders, while be has produced in addition other of the works of Knowles, of Bulwer, of Jerrold, besides works by Lovell, Bell, Tallourd, and a host of other writers nut unknown to fame. Mr. Web ster has done more for the suaport of the British drama than any other tlr-ee men now living. Behoves it all who love, who admire, who ap preciate that drama, to rally round the man, but for whose exertions there would not have been in London at this moment a theatre devoted exclusively to its re presentatkn. The attendance at the Haymarket to morrow night will show the real strength of the up holders of the legitimate drama in the metropolis. DIED. On the 4th inst., in the 60th year of his age, Mr. M.
