And in this and similar cases (which God keep far away) could the spiritual power which . God hath gi v en us re main inac tive? Let all be aware tnat we feel the magnitude of our dignity and the force of our power. Save, 0 Lord, your Rome, from so many evils! enlighten those who will not listen to the voice of your Vicar! let wiser counsels pre• vail with all so that, obedient to those who govern them, they may live in the exerci s e of th e d u ties of good Ch r i st i a ns, without which they can neither be good sub jects nor good citizens." A letter from Romc, of the 3d, says—" Count MANIIAUI DELLE REVERE has been charged to form a new Ministry. Prince ROSPIGLIOSI, General of the Roman Civic Guard, has given up the post, because the citizen soldiers refused to escort Cardinal BERNETTI to the Quirinal, in order to place him in safety, accord ing to o rders which were given them. The com mand of the civic guard has been conferred on MARIO Massino, Duke de Rignano." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The new steam basin in this dockyard will not be opened on the 24th in s t., as origi nally- intended, an order having been received from the Admiralty this morning announcing their Lordships' intention not to open the basin on that day. It has been customary en all former occasions of the completion and formal opening of great public works connected with naval affairs, for the Admiralty to confer a step of promotion on one officer of each grade of the profession, selecting such as have some relation to the spot in question. It is hoped, presuming the same rule will be observed on the present occasion, that their Lordships will select Lieutenant Williamson, of the Semaphore, in the dockyard, as one to be benefited by their Lordships' liberality on the forthcoming occasion. His long standing in the service, unblemished character, and un • wearied attention to the duties of his situation, appear to deserve the boon. He has been 41 years a lieutenant, and served with great credit during the greater part of the revolutionary war; was mate of the Santa Mar garita in Sir Risherd Strachan's action with Datnanoir, and was engaged with the enemy on many other occasions. His great misfortune has been that al though he has ac wely served under many distinguished officers, such as Sir Alexander Cochrane, Sir Henry Hotbam, Captains Garth, Whitby, the Hon. Leveson Gower, &c., they are all dead. He has consequently no one to plead his cause, which must account for the ne glect he has experienced, having been excluded the benefit of two brevets, and numerous other public chances of promotion. The Sharpshooter, 2, Lieutenant-Commander Bayley, returned this morning from ,Dover, whither she was dispatched to bring Mr. Allen, the acting master and crew of the Undine packet fbr the service of the Fire Queen steam tender. She also brought the cabin furni ture and stores of the Undine, for the same service. The Dauntless steam-frigate is to have her steam up on the 15th inst. for trial. She has been nearly 18 months getting her engines. Mr. Conolly, First Lieutenant of the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., has been this day invalided to Hasler Hospital. The Mercury tender returned to-day from Plymouth with volunteers for the ships fitting here—some fur the Bellerophon . In commission at this port—The Victory, Illustrious, Howe, Powerful, Bellerophon, Hastings, and Blenheim, line of battle ships; the Herefordshire freight ship; the Seal - lower cutter; the Rolla, Fanny, and Mercury ten ders; the Portsmouth Pay-office yacht; and the Victoria and Albert, Fairy, Fire Queen, Scourge, Sharpshooter, Merlin, Medusa, Lightning, and Echo steamers. In the Basin—The Arogant steam-frigate, Malabar coal-ship, Cormorant and Growler steam-sloops, under repair and fitting. In Dock—The Pembroke, 72; Ajax (screw), 56; Orestes, 18; Seaflower cutter, and Birkenhead and Jackal iron steamers—all fitting and refitting. No man of war at Spithead. Wind South, light airs and fine weather. ROYAL MARINES. INQUEST UPON MR. REDHEAD YORKE, M.P. An inquest was held before Mr. Wakley on Saturday, at the Elephant and Castle, opposite St. Pancras Work house, on the body of the late Mr. Yorke, M.P. for the city of York. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased gentleman purchased a small quantity of prussic acid at the shop of a chemist in the Haymarket, and that he swa llowed it in the vicinity of the Regent's-park, and dence went to show that the state of the sta deceased as ed gentleman's brain indicated that he must instantly immediately return e d a ver di c t o f " Tem haTvehebemeneedxiincpasiralen ed e v.i some time before the commission of t p h o e Trar r h a ey sh jinu a sr c ay t n . ity. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. EXTENSIVE RAILWAY PLUNDER.—On Saturday, Charles Abbott and Ann Williams, the former of whom, it appears, was for some time butler to Colonel Hope, of N o rfolk-street, Park-lane, and from whom he derived a c omfortable annuity, were placed at the bar charged with having committed numerous rob beries at v arious railway stations. This being the third time the parties were before the Bench, and the case being one of considerable public interest, the court was densely crowded, and a great number of pawnbrokers and their clerks, the recipients of the stolen property, thronged every pas sage. On a previous examination it had been proved that the prisoner Abbott had stolen a portmanteau belonging to the Rev. Mr. Marsh, of Cambridge, from the station-house of the Paddington terminus, which portmanteau had been traced to the house of a woman, Cattell, residing at 23, Carlisle-place, Lisson grove, a place which, it appears, Abbott had made a depot for the ill-gotten treasure. On Collard examining the premises, boxes, trunks, portmanteaus, writing-desks, &c., were there arranged, and he, there fore, selected as a sample what filled three cabs, which he had brought to the police-court for the purpose of identification by the owners. It, moreover, appeared that a number of pawnbrokers tickets had been also found, all pledged in the name of the female pri soner, Ann Williams. On the case being called on, Mr. Justins, from the office of Maples, Stevens, and Co., Old Jewry, attended for the prosecution, on the part of the Great Western Ra ilw ay Company. The first witness called was Thomas Batson, Esq., residing at Kynaston House , near Ross, in Here fordshire, who deposed that on the 23d of last De cember he was a passenger on the Great Western line from Gloucester to London. He had with him seven parcels, or packages. On his arrival at the Paddington terminus he missed one package, con taining a vast deal of property—he should say to the value of between 401. and 56/. A great number of articles of wearing apparel, &c., were here produced, all of which were identified by Mr. Batson as his property. The articles in question were found at the house, No. 23, Carlisle-place, Lison-grove, kept by a woman named Anne Cattell, who, upon being examined, said that the articles were left at her house from time to time by the male :prisoner, whom she had known for some seven or eight years. Several assistants to Messrs. Boyce, Trail, Richard son, Fish, &c., pawnbrokers, gave evidence as to their having received the articles in question from the pri soner Williams, for the purpose of obtaining the loan of money thereon. Mr. George Gilbert Scott, an architect, living at No. 12, Avenue-road, Regent's-park, said that on the 25th of last March he was a passenger on the Great Western Railway, and had lost a portmanteau, the one he now saw in court. It had contained many articles of wearing apparel, the majority of which he identified as belonging to him. Mr. Thomas Yaley, a solicitor from Chelmsford, stated that on the 24th of last December he came to London from Chelmsford by the Eastern Counties Railroad. He had a portmanteau, containing a great quantity of wearing apparel, to the value of at least 101., which he found was missing on his arrival at the terminus. The articles now produced were part of the property he had lost upon that occasion. The three foregoing cases being of such a strong nature against the prisoners, in addition to the three M or A ge R i L mßetOcaßlfoe, tow n U GI travellerT R E E produced against them on the last day's examination, -STREET. the magistrate fully committed them to take their trial upon the six several and distinct charges. IMMENSE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY BY A SER rasa'._Ge :d clerk to Mr. William Charman, of No. 63, Berwick-street, Soho, manu f a cturin g jeweller, was brought before Mr. Hardwick for re-examination, charged with having robbed his employer of texc eeding 5001. y 500/. in value. Mr. W. Charman said—l live at No. 63, Berwick street. The prisoner has been for about 18 or 20 months in my service as town traveller and clerk. About a month ago I missed a gold snuff-box from the counting-house, and I said to the prisoner on the following, day—" On looking over the gold snuff boxes yesterday, I missed one with a green chased gold border : where is it ?" I also said—" I have examined the approbation book, and cannot find it entered to any one. The prisoner said, " I have left it with Mr. Storey, of Regent-street; it is entered in my order book." About a fortnight since I asked the prisoner if he had obtained an answer from Mr. Storey re specting the gold box. He said Mr. Storey had sent that box and another into the country. Had ob served that another gold box had been entered in the approbation book to Mr. S tore y . Last Monda y evening, in consequence of what I had heard from Mr. st o rey, I called the prisoner into my parlour, where Inspector li/hall and Police-sergeant Gray were. I said to the prisoner, ""These are officers. 1 find you have entered two gold boxes to Mr. Storey, on approbation, and he denies ever having received them. What have you done with them ?" After some hesitation on his part, I asked him if he had p awned them, and he said " Yes." I asked him where, arid he said, "At Mr. RAI-train's." I said, "Is there any thing else you have taken ?" and he replied " No." I tken gave officers found into custody. At the stat ion-house the found 44 duplicates, all of whi ch related to property belonging to me. I also saw th e officers find on the prisoner three diamond pins , seven gold seals, ten gold keys, six rings, a gold locket, so me g old buttons, and other articles f the value of 401., my property. The prisoner then said he hoped I should have mercy on his wife and himself. Since the prisoner has been in custody I have been examining my stock, and up to this time I miss property to the value of between 4001. and 500/. The two gold s nuff-boxes produced are my property ; the other articles also produced belong to me. A considerable port ion of the property which had been ' pledged with various pawnbrokers was pro duced, and identified by Mr. Charman. A detachment, consisting of 2 officers, 1 sergeant, corporal, 1 fifer, and 75 privates of this division, em bark to-morrow (Saturday) morning in the Powerful, 84, Captain the llon. R. S.

THE SAVING OF TUE COMUS 16-GUN SLOOP IN TUE RIVER PLATA.—Tho natives at Colonia mac much surprised to find that the exertions of the Firebrand, and the British seamen, fished the Comus, sloop-of-war, up from the bottom of the Rio Plate, and sent her to sea again, after four months hard work. The French sa luted the Firebrand on her sailing from Colonia, as a compliment to their success.

When we retrace our steps along the pathway of life, how much of sorrow blends with the recollections of the past! friendships broken—hopes frustrated—schemes of happiness, as brilliant as the bubbles blown by a sportive child—like them, lost in air. The tomb has closed over many who were dear to us; others, with whom we thought to tread t h e maze of life, have turned from us, lured by the flowers that spring in plea sure's path, or dazzled by the attractions of wealthier, or more honoured acquaintance. Yet memory, in re calling our griefs, sheds her softening influence over our souls; draws the sting from our wounds, and bids us feel a melancholy eleasure in recurring to the past. On the virtues of the dead we dwell in sad though pleasing retrospection; and if friends have proved false, memory, though a pang attends the recollection, recalls the happy hours we have passed in their society, and paints so vividly past scenes of enjoyment, that the remembrance of their faithlessness is for a time obliterated me by the recollection of their social qualities. Should mory recur to hopes defeated, we h ave learned by experi ence, that we should have derived but little gratification from their realisation. Thus, for every sting that memory inflicts she pro vides a balm; and when she the in turns our thoughts to a fault expiated, an evils deed re ef present linquished, or a virtuous act completed, h othing, how exhilarating is the thought! To youth, to manhood, to age, memory brings pleasure. In youth we look back with delight to the innocent g ratifications of childhood, c in e te o r f v t i h e e w ß w oa i r t d h when " the tear, forgot as soon as shed," dimmed for a mo ment but impaired not the lustre of our eyes; the man , strong in health and firm of purpose, mid the storms of life turns with pleasurable emotions to the recollections of his youthful follies; and the aged, deprived, by firmities attendant on the decline of life, en joyment seek, amid the treasures of memory, relief for the weariness attached to a life of inaction. a h t a tte a o n ffi Earl The GranvilleAm eri American .I\finieSaturday,ter of Trade. TESTIMONIAL TO THE WORLING CLASSES.—A Testimonial to the Metropolitan Working Classes of an appropriate and judicious description, in response to their recent demonstration on behalf of order, peace, and law, has been suggested by Lord Robert Grosvenor, who has issued a circular urging the concurrence and co operation of influential parties on behalf of the Metropo litan Benefit Societies' Asylum, at Ball's Pond-road, Islington, for the reception of the aged and infirm con tributors to or members (male and female, and widows of member.) of benefit societies, to which it is proposed to contribute funds sufficient to complete the building, by the erection of th e w i ngs f orm i ng part o f th e or i g i na l design, and to co mmence at l east one a ddi t i ona l as yl um in another part of the metropolitan suburbs. As his Lordship, in announcing his well-timed suggestion, rightly remarks, the class of persons assisted by such institutions " is ono with which almost all persons are Inclined to sympathise, because it is composed of those who havo done their best to assist themselves. The asylum can n e ith er encourag e idleness nor interfere with labour; it is dedicated solely to the use of the work in g classes; it is managed solely by them, with an economy worthy of all imitation; and when once the buildings are completed, will be supported entirely by the bene fi t societies." The friends of the i ns tit u ti on , under t he especial patronage of her Majesty, the Duchess . of Kent, the Duke of Cambridge, &c.. &c., have accordingly re solved, to have a public dinner, at the Freemason ' s Tavern, on Tuesday, 16th current,. under the_pers auspices of the Duke of Cambr i dge, who will p resi de , ma . ng and with the view of aiding the exertions now mak i ng in order to accomplish the end in view.—Budder.

The disease which prevailed among the birds, to some extent, throughout the two last years, seems to have altogether disappeared. In no mil instance have parties that we have met with, who have been traversing the moors to choose their quarters, detected either dead or weak birds, in this or the neighbouring counties; nor is there any reasonable probability that the first hatch will be lessened or destroyed by frost or storms, as happens when good weather is premature—the rigorous winter, passing through spring to the verge of summer, preventing incubation, until the time arrived when all fear of future injury had vanished. Heather burning has this season been confined to n arrow li m i ts, f or f rom the first of April till the tenth, when legal burning ended, there were but few days that would prepare even the driest knolls to be fit for firing. The demand for shoot ings is equal to that of previous seasons.—lnverness Courier.

SWINDON, SNTURDAY.—The case of Mr. Arthur Augustus Lea has unfortunately terminated fatally. The injuries Mr. Lea sustained were very serious, one of his thighs being fractured, and the other leg broken below the knee. His dissolution, however, did not arise from either of these fractures, but from an attack of apoplexy, with which he was stricken a few hours previous to death. Several of the unfortu nate gentleman's friends were present at his demise, and, among them, his cousin, who is a student in the same college. The deceased was a young man of great promise ; he took a double degree at the last clia.s4cal examination, and, it is sail, was only deprived of the highest honours by a long and serious illness, which interrupted his studies for some months. This afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. W. B. Whit marsh empannelled a jury for the purpose of investi gating the circumstances attending the death of the deceased. The identity of the deceased having been proved, the several witnesses examined at the inquest held at Shrivenham on Thursday, were called. Their testimony differed in no material point from that which they had before given. Mr. Michael Lane, resident engineer of the rail way deposed to having accompanie Captain Symonds to Shrivenham for the purpose of making an experi ment as to how much time would be occupied in placing the horse-box and trucks in the position they occupied on the railway when the accident occurred. From the experiment made it had been found that to move the horse-box and cattle-truck to the position in which they were placed, and to bring the loaded truck on to the turntable occupied five men nearly seven minutes. On the occasion of the accident four men only were employed, so that a greater time might be reasonably supposed to have been occupied. The policeman on duty, Pargetter, was stationed about four hundred feet from the siding where the horse-box and cattle•truck entered upon the line, and he could not, as witness believed, have helped seeing the obstruction had he looked in the proper direction. At this stage of the proceedings the inquest was adjourned until Wednesday next. SHRIVENHAM, SATURDAY.—This morning, at half past ten o'clock, Mr. Wasborough, Coroner for Perks, and the jury empannelled on Thursday last, re-assembled at the Victoria Tavern, Lear the railway station, for the purpose of further prosecuting their investigation, on view of the budies of Edwin Wilt shire and Michael Mahony, whose remains were not identified when the jury previously met. Mr. John Leahy, of Shamskiel House, in e tlise s county of Cork, said he was travelling in the expr t train from Bristol to London , on Wednesday l a a d s d . lie rode in a first class carriage , with hi s child, her female attendant. His man-servant, Michael After the Mahoney, rode in a second class carFiage. collision, witness saw his serv ant lying on the plat form quite dead. Richard Wiltshire , of Bath-place, Islington said he had seen the bodies now l y ing dead at the Victoria Tavern, and recognised one of them as that of his brother, Edwin Wilts hire, who was travelling with his master, General Sir Alexander Mackenzie, on Wednesday last, from Bath to London, when the accident occurred. The testimony of the different witnesses examined on the last occasion having been repeated, The CORONER, after referring to a copy of the instructions issued to the servants of the company, said he could find no rule forbidding the servants of the company to place any obstruction on the main line, while the signal showed the line to be clear. From the evidence of Mr. Hudson, the station clerk, he had been led to believe there was such a rule. Mr. Clarke, the superintendent, said although not referred to in the rules, this was a thoroughly under stood matter by all persons in the employ of the com pany. It was in fact the fundamental principle on which all the instructions ware based. The foreman of the jury said he did not think that men who were half their time atupified with drink and tobacco, as all those who knew Willoughby knew him to be, were proper persons to have the lives of the public placed at their mercy. Mr. Clarke expressed his surprise at the statement of the foreman, and reminded the jury that Wil loughby had received a very good character from the station clerk. The Foreman said, from his personal knowledge of the man he considered him most unfit to fill the duties of the responsible situation in which he had been placed. He had been surprised to find, on walking down to the inn where they were then assembled, after the inquest had been held, about ten o'clock on Thursday night the porter Copley, who was repre sented to have been ill so long, with his pipe and his glass before him, carousing with a number of pot companions. Considering that the house was full of invalids who were suffering from the effects of the re cent accident, he thought if Copley had been able to come there at all, he should have been one of the first to assist in closing the house, and endeavouring to se cure quiet for its inmates. Mr. Clarke—l quite agree with you, sir, and beg to assure you that the sobriety and general good con duct of all our servants is invariably watched with great jealousy. One of the jury thought the duty imposed upon the policeman of attending to both signal posts, as well as the gates at the level crossing over the railway, was too much for any one man, and recommended that a second policeman should be appointed. Mr. Clarke—On behalf of the directors of the company I promise that the matter shall be fully considered, with a view to put on another policeman, if necessary, or even if thought desirable. The CORONETS. said he thought it very desirable that an instruction not to place any truck on the main line before having turned on the danger signal should be inserted in the printed rules. Mr. Clarke said, a new set of rules were in prepa ration, in which it had been embodied. The jury immediately agreed to a verdict of man slaughter against the two porters, Weybury and Willoughby, as in the other cases. The policeman Pargetter has been suspended. Weybury and Wil loughby are both under confinement in Reading gaol. Captain Blair, to the great surprise of his medical attendants, has rallied considerably, and a slight degree of sensibility has returned to his extremities. His wife, as well as his father and brother, have arrived at Shriver.haw, and remain with their un fortunate relative. The gallant sufferer retains per fect consciousness; indeed his faculties do not appear to be in the least degree impaired. An instance of heartless villainy occurred shortly after the accident, which, but that it is given on the very highest authority, would appear altogether in credible. An employee of the company was about removing the body of one of the deceased clergymen, when a person, to all appearance a passenger in the train, volunteered his assistance. His aid havin g been accepted, the individual placed his hand on the deceased's waistcoat pocket, and took therefrom a gold watch and appendages. This circumstance awakened some suspicions of his honesty, and on being questioned, his reply to the effect that he was a servant of the deceased was not considered at all satisfactory. A demand was made that he should immediately return the watch. The scoundrel, how ever, obstinately refused to do so, and it was not until some violence was used that he was compelled to relinquish possession. It need hardly be added that the story of his being a servant of the deceased proved a pure fabrication. It is a very remarkable circumstance in connexion with this accident, that although the engine by w hi c h the express train was propelled has been greatly shattered, and rendered wholly unfit for use, the driver and stoker are not conscious of having felt any shock when the concussion took place ; and Roscoe, whose intelligence and respectability afford a very fa vourable specimen of the servants of the company, informed our reporter that of the quantity of coke he was carrying, in his tender at the time, not a pound weight was thrown on to the engine-plate where he was standing, by :the collision. Roscce also states, that from the first moment when the obstruction on the main line broke upon him, he felt perfectly conscious that the speed at which he was going would overcome any opposing faece. There is very little doubt his impression would have proved perfectly correct, and comparatisreiy small damage arisen had it not been for the unfortunate position of the cattle truck on the siding. The rails where the collision took Place are altogether uninjured except a slight abra sion on the iron„ about three-quarters of an inch long, where the first blow seems to have struck. The axle of t he Cattle truck, which is nearly four inches in diameter, an d c ornposed of wrought iron welded by the Pat ent Sic tft Company, was bent completely double, without hibiting the slightest sign of frac ture, a proof of of which it wastlf''e extraordinary quality of the metal termed.

The following able and temperate article, which we copy from the New York Morning Express, conveys an expression of constitutional sentiments not often notice able in the columns of our trans-Atlantic Contempo• raries. It will well repay perusal:— " Two great and happy nations repose in peace and quiet, while all continental Europe is con vulsed. France is but /I volcano, blowing out its ashes, and rolling lava down its burning sides. All Austria quivers and trembles. Prussia frets and rages. 30,000 of Germans are fermenting. Italy is hot with the elements of rebellion. But two of the great Powers of the world—in some, nay,in many respects, the greatest powers of the world—are, amid all this fever, as calm as a summer's morning. Contentment rests upon the faces of men. Business goes on undisturbed within. feeling only the ripples from without. Exultation even bursts forth from these two great Powers, that they are thus happy and content, and thus free from the turbulence of the rest of mankind. These two nations are the United States and our fatherland, Great Britain ; and he i I tthe true philosopher who can solve the reason s why. sit in the English language alone—is it in our Saxon origin that there is something conserva tive of peace ? Surely Hot. The solution of this contentment with our selves is to be found in something far deeper than tongue or birth, as it springs, no doubt, from some self-satisfac w tion within. If we can find out what that is, and 4' e can impress it, when discovered , up on France, aspiring to our institutions, we shall do a duty to our race, and aid greatly in the diffusion of universal emancipation. " The secret of the contentment of the Ameri which and the Briton with the institutions under ,, i the they live, we apprehend, is t o be found and l libertyg reatest t hat p their ro 0 f th at institutionsthey seeeciuorye true o and them ;n r liberty under their institutio ns is Indeed, ed, to whereverfound in their contentment w ith them. e for iberty, and as it is in the nature of man to strugg_. rational liberty exists, it inspires contentmentir ; for, as the absence of it creates uneaeiness and discontent, so The Government ion is ali upon its enjoyment diffuses peace . and the nat• " Wherever these institutions are founded liberty there is peoplestrength is strong,- the strong. Liberty develop andarouses all the powers a ren them. o a n r g of a State against a common enemy, or for the pro motion of its own common weal. The strongest form of government, beyond all question, is that in which every man is a freeman, and is stimulated by his own interest to defend and protect the Government he has created. If, then, the secret of a nation's happi nese and strength is liberty, and if the United States and Great Britain alone of all the nations of the earth show that they most enjoy it by their strength and happiness, France has living lessons before her to study, in the C o nvention that is to frame her constitution. " But liberty in the United States and liberty in Great mistake commonly tooo g ft i e v n en B r itain have a very diff erent d e fi n i t i on from t h e de finition committedt o the word to i n suppose France. It is athat despotism is the great antagonistof liberty. Where despotism exists, no political liberty " can exist, to be sure • th ; but where anarchy or licentiousness the e greatest enemies of liberty, inasmuch as they rob it of its honours and tarnish its name—exists, no social liberty is known, and stern, stark tyranny crushes man, family, and home. To strike down a despotism, then, is not to erect the principle of liberty ; for a worse despotism may be created in its stead than the despotism stricken down. Indeed, there is no tyrant so severe, so cruel, so reckless, so utterly unprincipled, and so irresponsible, as a centaur-headed :anarchy; for assassination cannot rid us of it, and the tyranny of one is even a happy refuge from it. Napo leon was a blessing to a people who had been decimated by a Danton and Robespierre. His iron arm of pro tection was a salvation from the mob of the Faubourg St. Antoine. " Liberty, then, is not anarchy nor licentiousness, as it is too often defined in France. Because a monarchy is struck down, it does not follow that liberty pre vails in its stead. Indeed, in the American or British sense of liberty, anything and everything now exists but liberty in the Provisional Government of France, where self-elected rulers bear sway, and these self-elected rulers are daily swayed by the mob of Paris. Necessity may make submission desirable; but no liberty, in our sense of the word, exists where a few men have power and a mob daily terri fies them. Hence, although nominal liberty exists in France just now, no contentment follows, and all business is at a stand, fur no sense of security pre vails, no self-satisfaction, and no sanction for the existing state of things. The Government is not the Government that true constitutional liberty would have created, and, therefore, it cannot long continue, nor any thing that shoots from it. It wants a sanction. It in spires no veneration. It has no chart of authority to show, and hence it has no security, and will be got rid of as soon as the panic it has created is over. " The people of the United States and of Great Bri tain when they desire a revolution proceed upon alto gether different rules of action from those which seem to guide the French. We both reform and revolutionize through pre-existing forms of government, and we have seldom or never attempted to revolutionize in any other way. The Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island conceived the French way of a fight, but the people turned out and whipped it down, then voted it down, and then reasoned it down in the Supreme Court of the United States. Bri , tish freedom has all been won by peaceful agitation. ' Magna Charta, Habeas Corpus, and the freedom of ' speech and of the press, have all been the triumphs of agitation. Ci omwell's interlude of a self-created go vernment but rivetted for a time chains upon the British people. Dynasties have been changed in England, but it was only the change of a dynasty, not of a principle. Our own revolution, as we showed the other day, was no change in the form or the principles of the State govern ments of these United States, and it was a strike, not for what we had not, so much as to keep the liberty that from time immemorial we had had. But the people of Paris we see in a day shooting far ahead of all democ racy, or of republicanism, or of liberty that are known in Great Britain or the United States; and while mon archy is abolished by a mob in the halls of the Chamber of Deputies, the mob-created Government, by edict, pro claims, and instanter too, universal suffrage to men a majority of whom know not how to read or write, and emancipation to colonists that had not dreamed of the revolution that was approaching them. In a word, a people in their infancy of the principles of self-govern ment are put upon their feet , as if by some electric inspiring shock, and bidden to walk and prattle, as if they had sprung full-grown, Minerva-like, from Jupiter's brain ! " Now self-government is not so easy a realization as it is fancied to be in Paris. We Americans have been s educated to it from our infancy, and we have been taught self-restraint by every severity of parental and governmental inculcation, and yet we are often sadly deficient in it, and it needs all the efforts of parties, and of the best men in them, to keep the tone and moral of that self-government up. We begin in our school dis tricts, self electing our school-officers, and in our towns, counties, and municipalities, self-electing from among ourselves the men deemed most fit for their respective stations. All these are miniature conventions, and schools for self-education. We go from them to our State Legislatures, and take practical lessons there. The bench and the bar commingle with the men of the ploughfield and of the workshop; and all are educated together, and one is educating another. We rise then to Congress in Washington, and again the process of prac tical self-education for self-government is going on. We learn the decorum of debate. Just principles are daily preached in our ears. The principles of the law books, the accumulated wisdom of centuries, are laid before them. It becomes thus almost impossible for the rogues and demagogues with which all society is ever infested to materially corrupt and deceive us. But France dis penses with all these preparatory schools, and this pre , paratory education. A little army of 900 Solons, earn ing, the most of them, 3f. in the provinces, and to receive 25f. per diem in Paris, assembled there, lo presto ! to I declare Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity ! — as if such ' things would come at men's mere bidding. " Another great mistake that the French make, and one often made in our own country too, is, that go vernment springs from man alone, and needs not the blessing of God. The lesson is too often taught in both countries, that it is necessary to look downwards among erring fallen men for all the sources and the principles of power, and not upwards where there is no error, and w hoe our alone there can come no wrong. The right rule of r ancestors in their creation of our constitution was, that all earthly power springs from the people, but that are b these pe op l e God, and can to respect the commandments of ncreate no government worthy of human obedience, that Hence if vex po ishot based upon these commandments. of the people pull were vox Lei, it was because the voice was the voice of God, and the people but carried out Hia commandments our The true principles of l ea rnt only in the athers truly taught us, are to be Scriptures, ea but the people have their own modes for speak, is but the machinerryryoifnA them out. Man, so toaven thus, are full of the lessons of submission, e obedience, and . These Scriptures, patience towards our rulers. But h us that as we obey their lessons, teLiberty,y practically show Fraternity are possible, and full of all Equality, and truly Christian people, no doubt, can become possible joy. A Re publican_ people, with much more 1 3 • - 0..... a truly Re t liberty than even the United States enjoy. Self-government, before can a pproach, has to be tri ed b y man y sever er testa it than any to which it is now willing to bow. Man must b be first taught to love his neighbour as himself', and always to do unto others as he would have others do unto him. When that sort of s e lf-restraint is the universal law o f our race, then universal self-government will come, and no other than Republican governments will be known. A 3 we approach the practic e of these princi p les of the Scriptures, stability .will be given to governments, and revolutions become impossible ; but as we depart from them, disorder and dismay, as now among the absolute monarchies of Europe, will ensue. We of the United States and of Great Britain, no doubt, are now indebted for our peace and quiet to the mere approach that we have made, while all other nations are disturbed; but even we have many a long stride to make before we realize anything like their perfection."

The Constilationnel has the following on the re cent Ministerial appointments : " We have few observations to make on this Ministry. M. Bastide, M. Duclerc, and M. Charras were Under- Secretaries of State in the departments of Foreign Affairs, Finance, and War, during ,the time of the Pro visional Government —they replace the old Ministers, M. Larnartine, M. Gamier Paris, and M. Arago, at present members of the Executive Commission. M. Jules Favre, who was - Under-Secretary of State of the Interior, is to exercise the same functions in the department of Foreign Affairs. It is evi dent that M. Lamartine will not cease to pay particular attention to the affairs of that department, I which, under the new arrangement, will not have fewer that three chiefs at the same time. That is many for a Ministry in which the administrative labour is re latively of little importance, in which policy plays the greatest part, and in which unity of direction is spe cially necessary. M. Recurt. formerly a deputy of the Mayor of Paris, and recently elected Vice-President of the National Assembly, is an old and enlightened Re publican, a friend of order and truly liberal. This choice will be universally approved. If we add the five Members of the Executive Commission to the ten Ministers, and the Under-Secretaries of State, we have a very numerous personnel in the Government.

But at present it is a fait accompli. It only remains to us to express the wish that things may go the best way possible, both for the sake of the Republic and the country. The principal characteristic of the new Ministry is, as far as lit is possible to judge, inexperience. Its members will, no doubt, hasten to acquire the experience they need by a profound study of administrative matters. They will net act lightly, and will carefully consider every one of their resolutions. Immense interests are in their hands; they are not provisional measures, decreed . for two be taken; their acts may exereise a profound an months under the empire of circumstances, which h d ave s ' u• to rable influence on the country; to press them to multiply decrees decrees and to settle by enthusiasm questions b o to wh h themth e i necessarily r ruiu are too good citizens to range ourselves among the . m to us t t he ignorant, would wtboeuluduunetry. lead im patient.

Vienna letters of the 7th announce the conti nuance of tranquillity in that capital, although the operative classes are suffering acutely from the stag nation of trade. A considerable reduction is announced in the rates of postage, to come into operation. on the Ist of June next. 1. The postage on letters when the distance does not exceed ten German miles, is to be reduced from six kreutzers (4d.) to three (lid.) 2. No charge will be made for deli very. 3. For newspapers, journals, preis-courants, ex change reports, printed or lithographed circulars, books, pamphlets, music, printed papers of every description on which nothing is written except the address, proof sheets unaccompanied by the MS., and having simply the necessary insertions or corrections, and patterns of goods, provided that all such objects are put under a cover open at both ends, so as to permit the interior to be seen, the charge will be reduced to one-fourth of the previous rate. The military force at present quartered in Hun gary consists of 19,206 infantry, and 10,491 cavalry, and steps have been taken to recal those absent by leave, when the number of the infantry will be in creased to 22,255. These statistics are official. The evening supplement to the Vienna Gazette of the 7th announces, from Sacile, that the 'Left wing of Count NUGENT'S troops had reached Conegliano, and that the passage of the Plave was being effected with out opposition. According to private intelligence from Verona, communicated to the same journal, very serious engagements have taken place at Pes chiera, in all of which, however, the Austrian troops are said to have been successful. Marshal RADETSKY I himself made a great diversion towards Villa Franca, and the Piedmontese were repulsed at all points. Their loss was very serious ; but on the Austrian side 400 killed and wounded are reported, raoa t of whom belonged to the infantry regiment Piret. Letters received at Verona from :Milan state that business there is completely stagnant, and the anarchy such that the Provisional Government has been obliged to call in the aid of a Piedmontese regiment. LOMBARDY. The Risorgirnento of the Bth inst. contains the following under the head "Latest News :"—" Just as we were going to press we received the account of a battle fought under the walls of Verona, which we have not time to publish. Our army displayed the greatest valour. We have to deplore a serious loss ; it was unavoidable, but glorious." ROME. The Milanese journal, the 22 Marzo, publishes the following address to his Holiness, signed by the de puties of the Italian Diet at Rome. It is entitled— " ADDRESS OF THE ITALIAN STATES TO HIS HOLINESS. " The representatives loudly protest against the inter pretation given to the allocation of the Holy Father by the Consistory of Cardinals. Nationality is the work of God and not of man. The cause of justice and truth ought to be proclaimed or defended by him who repre sents the incarnation of truth on the earth, and this:: has been done by the Holy Father as the leader of a religion of justice and truth. Thus we and the Italian people, of whom we are the representatives, are sure of ho ving you always amongst us and before us in the paths of jus tice, religion, and liberty. " We proclaim it, as envoys of Venice, Lombardy, and Sicily, secure of the approval of our Governments and the assent of our fellow-countrymen. Prostrate before you, blessed Father, we implore your paternal benediction with great humility. We implore it for the Lomb.ird— fur the Venetian—for the Sicilian—for all Italy." The following decree of the PorE, dated May 1, is published by the Roman papers of the 2d : "Pius PP. IX. When God, by a wonderful elm2ree, called us to succeed, undeservedly, so many Suvreme Pontiffs, illustrious for their holiness, their wisdom, prudence, and other virtues, we recognised at once! the importance, the immense weight, and the most serious difficulties of the great charge which God confide d to us ; and having in our mind raised onr eyes towards Him with a feeling we frankly admit of discourage ment and oppression, we emplored him to enlignten us with an extraordinary share of wisdom and grace. We were not ignorant of the position, difficult under every respect, in which we found ourselves; it was, therefore, by a miracle of the Lord, that we did not, in the first months of our pontificate, give way under the mere consideration of so many evils which appeared sensibly to undermine our life. The proofs of affection which a people whom we had every reason to believe attached to their father and Sovereign con stantly gave us were insufficient to calm our ap prehensions ; wherefore we turned with redoubled energy to implore the assistance of God, by the in tercession of his Most Holy Mother, of the Holy Apostles protectors of Rome, and of the other blessed inhabitants of heaven. This premised, we examined the rectitude of our intentions, and then, after consulting several, and sometimes all the cardinals our brethren, we published all those arrangements relative to the organi zation of the state that have successively appeared up to this day. These were received with the satisfaction and applause well known to all, and proved an abundant consolation to our heart. Meantime great events took place in Italy, and in nearly all Europe, which, by ex citing the minds of men, awakened the design of form ing Italy into a more united and compact nation, so as to stand on a level with the other principal ones. This sentiment caused a part of Italy to pant for emancipation. The populations rushed to arms, and with arms in their bands, the contending are still en gaged in the struggle. A number of our subjects did not hesitate to join them, placing themselves under military chiefs ; still, though organized, and provided with commanders, they received instructions to stop at the confines of the state.
