Ctllling 'alllt LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1848. The summary of the events of the present session with which the eloquent and witty Member for Buckinghamshire so agreeably diversified the pro.. ceedings of the House of Commons yesterday, may afford matter for serious consideration to its Members during the leisure of the long vacation, and, we trust, will lead to the adoption of some alterations in the forms of the House, alterations which may easily be brought into operation without that perfect free dom of discussion, which is its most important, in deed, its indispensable privilege, being in any degree impaired. We have seen magnificent promises suc ceeded by scanty performance, and well-founded hopes of the attainment of comprehensive and much required measures of reform completely dissipated. There is, there must be, a fault somewhere, but with whom? Can the legislative defects of the session :be fairly ascribed to Ministers ? Is the House itself, as an aggregate body, in any and what degree responsible for the blighted prospects of the Parliamentary cam paign ? Or, finally, should individual Members be censured for the impediments they have interposed in the way of the general business of the country ? These are questions that will be responded to by the parties interrogated, according to their re spective predilections. Some will feel disposed to exonerate one or more of the classes to which we have above alluded, and to fling the full measure of their indignation on the devoted heads of others, who in turn will be pronounced free from blame by their own associates or followers. Pro bably faults may be found on every side, and these faults should be considered, not merely for the pur poses of censure, but of applying fitting remedies, so far as may be practicable. We are now at the close of a session of almost unparalleled duration. Parliament has been as sembled for more than nine months, with but brief in tervals of relaxation, and yet the most important mea sures have been either wholly postponed, or materially curtailed of their fair proportions, and these not mea sures of a trivial or insignificant character, but even some that had been alluded to in the opening Speech from the Throne, and the principles ,of which had been affirmed, after prolonged discussions, by con siderable majorities. Need we allude to the proposi tion for a change in the Navigation-laws, a proposi tion which has on every side been admitted to be of the moat vital importance to the national welfare, and a necessary supplement to the great free-trade measures of 1846 ? That was to have been pre-em neatly the Bill of the session. It was looked for as a :natter of justice to our colonies, who have an un undoubted right to complain of its postponement. They were most properly deprived of the protection they bad formerly enjoyed, and were they not, ea debiio justitie, entitled to demand that the restrictions to which they were also subjected, and which prevented them from entering into free competition with other nations, and selecting such markets for the disposal of their produce, as they might think most bane- &jai, should be abolished ? This, however, has not been effected. Their exclusive privileges have been taken away, but the price which they formerly paid as more than an equivalent therefor, is still most rigorously exacted. This is contrary to the first principles of equity and justice, and should not be tolerated by an upright and an honest nation. Ministers, however, are not altogether responsible for this untoward result. It should not be forgotten that there are but two nights in the week, eight in the month, and thirty-two placed at their disposal even in a prolonged session, and this brief period is too often invaded by the practice so frequently resorted to by private Members getting up discussions which consume the greater portion, if not the whole, of evenings that should be applied to the "voting of the necessary supplies. If, then, eight or ten of these evenings are spent in pro longed di scuss i ons, and repeated ad j ournments take place before th e pre li m i nary reso l u ti ons are a ffi rme d de the .tiouse, or the Speaker is permitt e d t o l eave chair, how can Ministers be expected to carry throut which t heir several stages all the measures the necessity f Witness th e siz a may be most fully r ecogn i ze d? eb tardy debates on the Navigati on -l aws , days' d which w ou ld b e absolutely worthless, but th a t it affords the assurance that t... justice w ill be done and that ultim a t e l y there will be no reasonable cause of complaint in that behalf to our colonie s , or to t h e advocates of free and unrestricted trade, in its wid es t and most comprehensive point t the ten days' debate on th e sugar. duties, Witnesses, before even the Bill was introduced to theiouse, . ut three of which were absolutely wasted by i-:lthe "missing dispatch episode," so facetiously brought for e ward and pertinaciously adhered to, after any reason.r able man would have been convinced of his error: by the noble associate of the Honourable Memb er , for Buckinghamshire. Under these circumstances, we should be inclined to make every reasonable allowance for the Minis terial fallings off. The Premiegra so, most ably im. dicated himself and his i.e es from the charges Is the liberty of the Press to be abolished in France? This is a question which just now agitates the public mind at Paris, and it is a question which interests Europe. Yes, insignificant as it may be considered by the members of the Assembly, it is a question of European interest. Should that momentous question be answered in the affirmative— should it be decided that the liberty of the press is to be abolished, as surely as France has just been shaken by one revolu tion will she, ere long, be agitated by another. Is it likely—is it within the limits of possibility—that a nation who, to acquire a full exercise of their national liberties, have exposed themselves to all the horrors of tumult and insurrection, who have deposed their King—their own chosen King, because he attempted to play the tyrant—who have changed their form of government, and disorganized their whole political system, because it imposed too many fetters on their freedom—is it possible that that nation will, on the field of victory, surrender all the fruits of their labours, and give up the prize so hardly struggled for, and so dearly purchased ? Can any sane man credit such a preposterous idea for a moment ? When the revolution commenced in Paris, spread .over Europe, and kings shook on their thrones, and nations clamoured for their national rights, what was the first evidence of the triumph of the Revolution— what was the first boon voluntarily conceded by pru dent monarchs as the best token of their liberation— what was first and most imperatively demanded by every people inspired with a new-born independence —what gloriously signalised the progress of liberalism as it established itself in the strongholds of despotism ? The emancipation of the press ! Throughout the continent, wherever a whisper of national rights was heard, wherever a breath of freedom found its way, there the liberty of the press was established forthwith, and its establishment was a significant, a gloriously significant—fact. We hailed it as such at the time. At the time when our columns were daily filled with some new tidings of revolution, and when those tidings, from whatever quarter they arrived, never failed to declare, among the first and most important intelli gence, "the liberty of the press has been established in such a state"—we hailed it with sentiments of the most profound exultation, as a conclusive evidence of the triumph of the popular cause. When the liberty of the press was conceded to the Italians—when the land of GIITTEMBERG for the first time obtained the free enjoyment of his glorious invention—when in Austria—even in Austria—such a recognition of the popular existence was tolerated, we felt, indeed that we had cause to rejoice. We rejoiced over the new life infused into hitherto dormant members of the family of nations ; for the press is, as we have continually repeated, the Voice of the People. If that be silenced, the voiceless nation almost ceases to exist. It can no longer declare its wants and wishes—it can no longer expose its grievances or denounce its wrongs. Unable to care for itself, it ceases to be cared for. Unable to protect itself, it is trampled on and bound down in fetters, and, being dumb, it cannot cry for succour. Knowing as we did, and appreciating as we did, the power and the privileges of those people who were enabled to make themselves heard, we rejoiced in witnessing the great extensions of that national faculty occasioned by the recent revolution. But now, now, when the triumph is so far complete, we are told, and we can scarcely credit the evidence of our ears, that in France—in France /—the liberty of the press is to be virtually abolished ! In France —in the very theatre of the triumphs of liberty—in Republican France ! That such a thing should ever really come to pass we do not for a mo- ment entertain the slightest fear, but the bare enun ciation of such a project fills us with astonishmen Abolish the liberty of the press in France, when Italy, and Germany, and Austria are possessed of it To bring back in 1848 a tyranny which was intole rable in 1830—to establish under the auspices of a Re public a system so iniquitous that crowned despots have abandoned it I— the bare idea fills us with overwhelming astonishment, and moreover with un utterable indignation. " Francais pour vows, ah quel outrage! Quel transport cela doit exciter, C'est vous , qu'on ose rnediter de rendre I l'anti que es clavage." Notwithstanding the ominous proceedings of the Legislature, proceedings which have called forth the indignant remonstrances of the Parisian j ournalisti, we cannot believe that the project will ever really be put in practice. If it be, it can be only for a very brief period. The people will not long sub mit, if they submit at all, to such an in fringement of their rights. No Provisional Government, no National Assembly, no General CAVAIGNAC even can enforce such an act of tyranny. We again repeat it seriously and solemnly. If the liberty of the press be abrogated in France—if the object of the revolution be thus originally defeated—. if the Republic be thus disgraced, and the name of Liberty thus insulted, the Republic, or at all events the Republic as at present constituted, will not endure another revolution, or it will speedily e ff ace t h e traces of the (in that case) fruitless Revolution of February, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. The Paris journals of yesterday have arrived. General CAVAIGNAC has returned a peremptory refusal to the request of the King of SARDINIA, that Marshal BUGEAUD should take command of the army of Piedmont. As yet no definite reply has been received from the Austrian Government in reference to the joint mediation of France and England, at which silence the newspapers- of Paris are beginning to evince annoyance. Later intelligence from Paris brings the following important announcement : The answer to the offer of their mediation made to Austria by England and France reached the Marquis of Normanby yesterday by a courier of Lord Ponsonby, who subsequently went on to London. Austria does not refuse the profaned mediation. She merely expresses a hope that, through the intervention of the Central German Power at Frankfort, peace may be directly concluded between Marshal Radetzky and King Charles Albert." The Moniteur du h'oir says it was not the Prince DE BEAUVEAU who was killed by a deplorable acci. dent near the chateau, but M. DE SAINTE ALDE. SONDE. The lifoniteur publishes the usual returns of the importations and exportations of France for the month of July, and also for the first seven months of 1848, with a comparative table for the corre sponding periods of 1846 and 1847. From this table it appears that the exports, though considerably greater than in June, are still deplorably low. The duties received on importations for July, 1846, were to the amount of 12,957,914 f. ; for July, 1847, 11,507,483 f.; and for July, 1848, only 7,285,570 f. For the first seven months of 1846 the duties received amounted to 87,634,664 f.; for the same period of 1847 to 77,464,158 f. ; and of 1848 to 45,446,424 f. The exportations, especially French manufactured articles, show a similar falling off. The entrepots are still gorged with merchandise, for which there is no outlet. In addition to the intelligence already given in The Sus respecting the escape of Louis 13ww, we may transcribe the following paragraph from the Spectateur Republicain of yesterday : " After the sitting of the National Assembly on Saturda morning, M. Louis Blanc, accompanied by a friend, . t into a hackney carriage, and went direct to St.. De n , where he arrived at half-past seven. The ; i had to pi s sels had just passed, and M.

Seeing the un exampled difficulties that have been encountered, we may well rejoice that, although we have not to congra tulate ourselves upon any great progress that has been made, we have not to deplore any serious or formidable retrogression. The forms of the House that compel a large and overwhelming majority to yield to the opposition of a turbulent and factious minority should be modified, and means should be taken to prevent licensed bores from unduly trespassing on the patience of the House, so that we should not at the end of the session hear of two Members having consumed no less than five weeks of the session—a statistical fact, which was put forward by the Honourable Member for Middlesex amid the applauding cheers of the wearied Members who had such painful experience of the loquacious powers of the gentlemen in question. Let, this be effected early in the ensuing session, and we shall then have less discussion, and more per formance, and not again have to complain of a wasted session, ne4lected opportunities, and mis spent time. r On the same subject the Illessager de Gond of the 28th instant has tbe subjoined particulars : " A French gentleman who was in a 7n4azin de nou ?mantes, at about five o'clock, in the Rue des Champs, saw an individual pass whom he immediately pointed out as M. Louis Blanc, the representative of the people. Every one was eager to catch a glimpse of the man who took so prominent a part in the events of which France has been recently the theatre, and the news of his ar rival at Gand spread like wildfare. Van Wanzeele, a police agent, who was crossing the street at the time, followed the stranger, and accosted him near the Pont des Chauderonniers. On being asked for his name and papers, he replied that he was Louis Blanc, the repre sentative of the people, and that he had no papers with him. The policeman took him to the nearest station, where he was interrogated by the Commissary of Police, Versluys. He declared that he left the sitting of the National Assembly on Saturday at six in the morning, in consequence of the vote authorising his ?lase en accu sation—that he proceeded to a friend's house to draw up a' protest against the decision which had just been taken, and to announce to the public that his sole motive for quitting France was to avoid two or three months' imprisonment before trial " M. Louis Blanc declared that he left Paris on Sa turday evening by the last train, that he arrived at Lille on the following morning, and at Gand during the day. " kfaving no documents to prove his identity, M. Louis Blanc was temporarily locked up in the town prison until instructions respecting him should be received. " M. Louis Blanc protested against his arrest, and de clared that it had been his intention to leave by the last train for Ostend, there to embark for England." " We have been informed," says the Independance Beige of Tuesday, " that M. Louis Blanc left Gand yes terday at a quarter to seven fur Ostend. He was to embark this evening for England. Before his depar ture, he requested one of the gentlemen present to ex press his thanks to the bourgemeister and governor tor the attention paid to him during his short imprison ment." The same journal says that M. CAUSSIDIERE is re ported to have been seen at the railway station at Gand on Sunday night. The despotic attacks upon the press are still con tinued with an indiscriminating rigour ; and the arguments by which the Executive authority defends its proceedings against journalism would be con temptible if it were not dangerous. According to one resident in the French metropolis, the campaign against the newspapers has not yet terminated. The Government has given notice to the editors of the Reforme, the Constitutionnel, and the Democratic Pacue, that if they are not more measured in their language they will be suppre sse d. M. T HIERS went yesterday to Al. SENARD, the Minister of the Interior, to remonstrate with him on the danger to which he exposed the country by his violence against the news papers, and declared that the Republican Government was much more severe and arbitrary than even that of the Bourbons or Louis PHILIPPE had been. M. SENARD replied that the•dynasty of Louis PHILIPPE had fallen, notwithstanding its rigour against the press ; and as the Republic was not sufficiently strong to resist such an engine, it was necessary for it to use more energetic measures. The second editi on o f t h e C onst i tut i on h as b een laid before the National Assembly. A tremendous thunder-storm, yesterday, raged over Paris. There is a report that General CAVAIGNAC is about to remove the seat of the Executive Government to the Palace of the Tuileries. Perhaps he is labouring under the delusion that he is destined to become a second NAPOLEON. At Tuesday's sitting the first order of the day was ;he discussion of the demand for leave to prosecute ,he Abbe DE LAMENNAIS. The demand was even tually rejected. The Republique mentions a report, that General CAVAIGNAC has attached to his person, for his pro tection, a guard, consisting of the police agents who were ordered to watch over the safety of Louis Panarrt, when he appeared in public. A letter from Lyons, of the 26th instant, states that the troops composing the army of the Alps are now concentrated to the amount of sixty thousand men, and ready to cross the frontiers at the word of command. The infantry is composed of regiments long inured to fatigue in Algeria. The cavalry is well appointed, and from constant practice well versed in all military manoeuvres. The artillery is described as being the admiration of those who witnessed the wars of the Empire. BOURSE.—PARIS, AUG. 30. THREE o'CLocx.—The market was very animated, and much business doing ; the article in the National, relative to the delay on the part of Austria to accept the Anglo-Gallic mediation, caused a decline in the public Securities.

When the post left Vienna on the evening of the 24th there had been no revival of the late dis turbances. The capital was in a state of profound tranquillity. The Committee of Public Safety has ceased its official functions at the request of the Ministry, and resolved itself into a club. Dr. HERSCHBERGER, who has stepped into the shoes of RANGE, has been stripped of his gown. PRUSSIA. News up to the 27th has reached us from Berlin. The cholera commences to gain ground; 27 cases, out of which 21 deaths, were declared thie day. In a single house is the Blumen-street, situated near the market gardens contiguous to the Frankfort Station, 13 cases, almost all ending fatally, were de clared upon Friday. At present we have not heard of any cases on this (Linden) side of the town, but dysentery is very prevalent. POLAND. The Polska Gazette states that Poland is tranquil, but that, nevertheless, `Warsaw daily presents a more warlike aspect. The army bivouacs in th e streets, and regiment s are cons t an tl y arriving, in c l u di ng the Cossacks of the G uar d, a sure sign of the advent of the EMPEROR. The kingdom will be occupied during the winter by four corps d'armee of 70,000 men each. RUSSIA. According to the latest intelligence from Russia, the extensive levy of recruits ordered by the Empe ror NienoLAs had created much irritation among the no bility of the three Governments nearest to St. Peters burgh, who had resolved to resist, and engage in a struggle with the military directed to bring the order of the EMPEROR into execution. This event had de termined his Imperial MAJESTY to recal the troop s that had been sent to Poland. The cholera was raging at Tampa], in Gallicia. CROATIA. Accounts from Agram of the 15th inst., says the Voss Gazette of the 26th, state that a part of the Croatian troops will pass the Drave at various spots, and ultimately join to march on the capital of Hun l'y SWEDEN. - - The King of SWEDEN granted an audience on the 20th to M. L OUSTEIN , E nvoy E xtraor di nary an d Mi nister Plenipotentiary o f th e F renc h R epu bli c , an d received him with the greatest distinction. The Kolner Zeit H un UN g states GAR that Y . the Commander of Temeswar has been informed of 6,000 Servians hav ing crossed the Danube near Orschora. The united forces of the Servians are calculated to amount to 96,000 men with a Croatian reserve force of 20,000. Their artillery consists of 160 field-pieces. . ITALY. A lta ß ly p is Y tl;at, The SA R m p ost i p N re i v A alent A id N ea Dß in North e rn under all circumstances, Lombardy will be perma nently annexed to Sardinia. The Tesin• Gazette of the 25th states that on the 23d there was some fighting between the band under the orders of GARIBALDI and an Austrian detach ment of 150 men, who were defeated, and compelled to take refuge on the territory of Switzerland. Another affair, the details of which are not given, took place on the 24th. Major-General DABORMIDA had, according to the Piedmontese Gazette of the 25th instaut, assumed the direction of the army and navy departments. The same journal states that the Ministry had unanimously protested against the charge of dupli city and dissimulation directed against it by the Abbe Gunman. VENICE. The Augsburg Gazette has accounts from Venice. The situation of that city is still the same. Admiral ALBINI is said to have declared to the Austrian officers sent to confer with his Excellency, that he would not obey the orders given him until he had received a direct command from Turin, and that, until then, he would attack the Austrian fleet wherever he encountered it. It is not doubted that a secret understanding exists either between ALBINI and the Venetian Government, or between ALBINI and CHARLES ALBERT. Travellers who quitted Venice on the 14th relate that considerable confu sion prevails. The universal cry h "Death to the Germans ! " ROME. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.I 217131X7GATE ZEADEPTEAML.

SIR,—" We breathe yet." Wehave had a most splendid harvest day, and should it continue for a few days, which, at present, there is every appearance of, the corn in this neighbourhood and the whole of the west of England will be secured. The potatoes are not so bad as reported, and, under any circumstances, the crop of good ones will far exceed that of last year.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, A CONSTANT READER. Bristol, August 30, 1848. --- TUE Lose OF THE OCEAN MONARCH.—With re ference to several inquiries as to the'nationality of Fre derick Jerome, the seaman who distinguished himself so much in sa v i ng t h e l i ves o f passengers on board th e ill lated O cean Monarch, we have learnt f rom t h e S eamen ' s Register-offi ce at the Custom -h ouse , that J erome i s a native of Old , not New England, b orn at P ortsmout h , the 14th of M a y, 1824, and that he first went to sea in the year 1838. H e has been seven years i n t h e A merican merchant service, and he obtained his registry at Liver pool on the 11th of June, 1846. The Pengiero Italiano of Genoa, of the 24th, states that no papers have arrived from Rome. As we have received none either this morning, we have no means of ascertaining the truth of the report we gave yes terday, that an insurrection had broken out at Rome. The Tuscan papers contain no date from Rome later than the 19th, on which day we learn that Count LOVATELLI, Pro-Legate of Ferrara, has been named Minister of War. A decree of the Lieut.-General of the Kingdom, dated from Turin, 20th inst., offers a premium of 10 per cent. to those who, within twenty days, will have contributed their share to the volun tary national loan. TUSCANY. The Patria of Florence of the 21st announces the arrival at Leghorn of the Princess LOUISA TERESA, consort of the son of the ex-Duke of PARMA. The Rivista Independente of Florence of the same date states that the Marquis RIDOLFI has left Flo rence for Paris and London, on a special mission. PUNCH - ! Our delightful and facetious contemporary Mr, Punch has admirably enforced the necessity of a pro rogation of Parliament by one of his most felicitous illustrations. What with the brilliant oration of Mr. Disraeli and the pictorial wit of Mr. Punch, our Legis lators are having rather a hard time of it—they will be fairly denounced into their holidays by the one, and jeered into them by the other. Richard Doyle, the gifted son of our inimi table 11. 8., is the artist who has illustrated in this day's impression of Punch (No. 373), the daring sarcasms uttered in the House of Commons yesterday by the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Buckinghamshire. The caricature, or we should rather say the historical cartoon delineates Punch as he appeared when " Telling the Members to go about their business." If only as a daguerreotype of the House, the sketch would be inva luable, containing, as it does, not merely the portraits, but the very vraisentblances of Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Lord Mor path, Sheil, Sir Robert H. Inglis, W. J. Fox, Cobden, Muntz, Hume, Sir Robert Peel, Disraeli, Lord George Bentinck, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Speaker, &c., &c., &c. Is not this enough ? And yet there are more faces— feces familiar to every frequenter of Westminster— crowded'into the space of a few square inches by the hand which is as skilful in portraying the goblins of the " Chimes" of Dickens, the bees congregating about Leigh Hunt's " Jar of Honey from Mount Hybla," or the personnels of the great statesmen and debaters of the century. The cartoon is crammed to overflowing with satire, wit, drollery, fun, and through the mask of this fantastic humour a deep earnest ptirpose. THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1848. PIEDMONT_ The Ticino Gazette, of the 25th inst, announces that the French Government had refused to admit into France the Italian refugees who were not provided with passports and pecuniary resources. The same journal states that an engagement took place on the 22d between the Austrians and a detach ment of the column of GARIBALDI, in the neighbour hood of Stabbio. The historical painter AZOLINI was killed in it. The Austrians wounded were conveyed to Como. The Italian detachment, composed of one hun dred and fifty men, was obliged to seek refuge in the canton of Ticino, where it laid down its arms. There was another engagement on the 25th. A considerable Austrian force having entered La vino, the Italians embarked on board a steamer on their approach. The direction they took was not known. At Tresa and other places there were Italian detach ments in the field. In the different encounters the ter ritory of Ticino was violated by both belligerents, and in order to obviate that inconvenience, they were planted on the most remote points of the frontier. THE CHARTISTS. EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS. BOW - STREET.—(THIS DAY.) The following Chartist prisoners were brought before Mr. Hall and Mr. Henry, shortly after eleven o'clock, charged with felony:— Joseph Ritchie, Alfred Abel, William Gurney, John Sheppard, James Snowball, James Richardson, George Greensledge, Henry Small, Edward Scudding, William Byrne, and Philip Martin, of the Orange -street party ; Charles Taylor, George Cox, William Poole, Charles Wicks, Thomas Herbert, Thomas Irons, James Rowson, Hugh Conway, Alexander Hardy, Samuel Hardy, James John Morson, William Winspere, and Samuel Morgan, of the Webber-street party; Thomas Jones, Frederick Stone, William Swinbourne, William Argue, William Lacey, William Cuffey, and William Dowling. Mr. Clarkso❑ appeared on the part of the Crown, and Mr. Parry and Mr. Keneally appeared for some of the prisoners. The first case called on was that of Frederick Stone. Mr. Clarkson stated that as he had not been able to obtain any additional evidence against Stone, it was his wish that he should be discharged. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. The prisoner Ritchie was next placed at the bar. Mrs. Gomer, examined by Mr. Clarkson, said she let out a room at No. 2, Cross-court. It was a kitchen, and she let it to a woman, who said her name was Ritchie, about four or five weeks ago. Was not acquainted with the prisoner at the bar. The woman left about a fort night back, when she said she was going out to nurse. Ann Hayden said she had lived with the prisoner as his wife for 15 or 16 years, and he had always been a good husband to her. They occupied the kitchen at No. 2, Cross -court, which they rented from the last witness. The prisoner did not sleep in the kitchen. She left the lodging three weeks last Tuesday, with the view of go ing out to nurse, but being disappointed she was obliged to go to the workhouse. The prisoner Morgan was here called. Inspector Rogers said lie wished to correct a state ment which he made with respect to this prisoner. He had stated he resided at 17, Bond-street, Borough, but on inquiry ho found the house to be No. 1, York-street, Southwark. That was the house which in his former evidence he said he had searched. Cross-examined by Mr. Macnamara—Knew it was the residence of the prisoner from finding a pike in the house with his name upon it. He also found a card which stated that the prisoner had been admitted a member of the Confederate Club. Poole was next called and placed at the bar. Mary Field, a widow, examined by Mr. Clarkson, said she lived at 8, Northampton-place, Northampton street, Walworth. The prisoner occupied the front room on the first floor, and continued to do so until the 16th of the present month. Poole and Morgan were then removed from the bar; and it was suggested by Mr. Clarkson that the Orange street prisoners should be brought forward. They were accordingly placed in the bar, together with Abel, who has since been apprehended, making altogether fifteen in number. Mr. Clarkson said he had to apply that those fifteen prisoners should be committed to take their trial, and he made the application under the 3d section of the 11. Vic., c. 12, called the Crown and Government Security Act. The charge was that they had been guilty of feloniously compassing and intending war against the Queen. Mr. Parry said he appeared for the prisoners Bird and Greenslade, and as no further evidence had been brought against them by Mr. Clarkson, he:had to apply that they should be discharged, or that, in the event of their not being discharged, that they should be allowed to give bail for their appearance to take their trial. All the evidence against them was that they were found at the Orange Tree, in Orange -street. No , arms or weapons of any kind were found upon them; they were journeymen shoemakers, earning about a pound a week. They entertained what they called Chartist opinions, but wished him distinctly to state that they did not entertain such opinions as those alleged—viz., that an alteration of the law was to be obtained by means of violence and force. Tey desired him also to state, that having heard that; certain parties calling themselves Chartists intended to commit acts of violence, they went to the Orange Tree, at three o'clock in the afternoon on the day in question, to make some inquiry, when they were informed that a meeting would be held at six o'clock in the evening. They accordingly returned at that time for the purpose of stating to the parties their decided opposition to anything like violence or force, and they were then taken into custody. If, therefore, they were not discharged, he trusted that bail would be taken for their appearance. Mr. Clarkson expressed his decided objection to the application of the Learned Counsel. Mr. Keneally then applied, on the part of Richard son and three other prisoners, that they should be dis charged; but the application was not acceded to. The Chief Clerk read over the evidence which was taken on the former examination against the prisoners, in the presence of the different witnesses, who severally signed the depositions. Mr. Parry said he would admit, after hearing the de positions, that the case against the two prisoners he de fended was one which ought to be sent to a jury, but he trusted that they would be released upon bail, Mr.:Keneally applied that the prisoners for whom he appeared might be discharged, as the charge of felo niously compassing and intending to levy war against the Queen had not been clearly and indisputably made out, and he apprehended that it was as necessary that the charge should be so made out under the new law as it was under the old. There was no evidence against them except that of Powell, and it was open to very groat suspicion. It appeared that he had been a month among the prisoners for the express purpose of betraying them, that he sti mulated them in their proceedings, and unblushingly avowed that he had supplied them with powder and other articles which they would require on the night of the proposed outrage. He submitted that no one could believe the evidence of such a man. Mr. HALL said he had paid every attention to the cases which had been brought before him, with a dispo sition to act fairly to all the prisoners, and it was his strong conviction that he ought to send every one of them to a jury. His mind was impressed with the con viction, taking into account all the circumstances as dis closed in evidence, that he ought to deal with all the cases alike, and ought not to permit bail to be taken. The witnesses were then sworn over, and the pri 'soners were committed to take their trial at the Old Bailey. Charles Taylor, George Cox, William Poole, Charles Gibbs, Thomas Herbert, William Winspere, Thomas Irons, James l?owston, Hugh 'Conway, Alexander Hardy, James J. Morson, Samuel Hardy, ancipS. Morgan, were then placed at the bar. Mr. Clarkson said he had no additional evidence to offer against them, but he had to apply that they should be committed to take their trial. These prisoners were also fully committed. Joseph Jones, Charles Young, and Henry Argue were also brought up and committed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF CO.3IIIIONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Two o'clock. Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that he would, next session, move a resolution to the effect that, as the Legislature had fully determined to carry out the monetary system, which would speedily reduce the value of all property to the level of '95, it was only requisite and expedient that the salaries of all officers and servants of the Government, which were raised Upon the war system, should be reduced to their original amount. EXCHEQUER-BILLS BILL. The Exchequer-bills Bill was read a third time ,nd passed. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. On the question that this Bill be read a third time, Sir J. HOBIIOUSE, in answer to a question from Mr. G. Thompson, stated that there was certainly an understanding between the Government and the Hon. Member that his motion with respect to the Raja of Sattara should come on upon the motion for the third reading of this Bill ; but it would be more con venient, and more in order, if he would consent to postpone it until the other orders of the day had been disposed of. Mr. G. THOMPSON said, all he wished was to make a statement on the subject to the House, and he trusted that he would not be frustrated by de ferring to the wishes of the Government. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. COPPER AND LEAD DUTIES BILL. The report upon this Bill was brought up and agreed to. POOR-LAW AUDITORS' PROCEEDINGS RESTRICTION BILL. This Bill went through Committee. REPRODUCTIVE LOAN FUND INSTITU TION (IRELAND) BILL. The consideration of the Lords' amendments to this Bill was postponed until to-morrow, at twelve. SAVINGS' BANK BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was the intention of the Government to limit the measure entirely to Ireland, and not to apply its provisions to savings' banks in England and Scotland. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK expressed his sin cere gratification at this determination of the Go vernment, but would have been bettor pleased it' the Chancellor of the Exchequer had announced it the other night ; instead of keeping the House sitting until half-past three in the morning. After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP, Mr. REYNOLDS begged to correct an error which had been fallen into by the press, when it was reported that he expressed his satisfaction with the management of the savings banks. (LEFT SPEAKING.) Mr. Tidd Pratt and Mr. Higham had an interview yes terday, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTINGDON RACES.—WEDNESDAY.

The quay was thronged with s p ectators, the river wa s crow d ed with boats.,and on no occasion of a similar nature, do we ever rear ember to have seen so much excitement as there was upon this. The distance was twice round the Eel-chain and the Buoy, abreast of St. Katherine Dock entrance, to the prize boat, oil the stairs. First heat --George Andrews (scarlet), 1; Isaac Con norton (dark blue), 2; George Bartlett (pink), 3. Scar let took the lead, kept it throughout, and won by a boat's length.
