Morning 0 min. after 0 I Evening .. 2 min. after 0 ously opposed thereto, it cannot for a mo ment be asserted that any agitation for that purpose, so long as it was restricted within constitu tional limits, amounted to a crime. Unfortunately, he transgressed the bounds within which he should have remained; but his end and object was not malum in se. The only point that could justly be objected to was the mode by which he endeavoured to attain his desire. Mr. O'Biturs never uttered truculent and sanguinary speeches, such as some of those ascribed to others of the confederates. He never instructed his hearers in the most approved art of bloodshed, in the best mode of killing, burning, or destroying the opposing forces. On the contrary, at every period he depre cated the atrocities suggested by others, and even dur ing the last acts that brought him within the meshes of the law, he refrained from injuring, in any man ner, the constabulary that were within his power, or the property which a word from him would have con signed to the flames. It is by no means impossible that he never con templated actual violence, but that his intent was to intimidate the Government into a compro mise. It is manifest that when he left Dublin on the 22d of July, to visit Mr. MAHER, a gentleman of unimpeachable loyalty, in pursuance of a long sent invitation, he had not the slightest intention of an immediate insurrection. His engagements were made for the following day to visit 'Wexford harbour, and to meet a party at dinner. When DILLON and MEAGHER arrived the next morning with the intelligence of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and of a warrant being issued for his arrest, his statement to his host was to the effect, " that he did not come to disturb the peace of the house, but would go to Kilkenny to consult some friends. As Mr. WHITESIDE so clearly proved in his magnificent oration, all through his ruling object appeared to be to avoid arrest ; but, along with that there was also the general object of effecting a change in the constitution of the country, which brought him within the scope of the law—in fact, he intended to make a demon stration of strength that might lead the Government to succumb to his views and wishes. Of the three overt acts at Mullinahone, Killenaule, and Bailin- Barry, the two first were wholly unattended with violence. He asked the six policemen, completely powerless, and without available means of defence, to surrender their arms; they most properly refused, and he did not suffer their arms to be taken by force, as could easily ha , ,e been done, ;but drew off his men ; so that the police were enabled to pack up their goods and with draw without disturbance or opposition. At Kil lenaule a barricade was erected, but that was imme diately cast down and a clear road made for the military when the party were assured that there was no intention to attempt the capture of SMITE O'BRIEN. Every article of provision or others wise that was taken, every accommodation received, was scrupulously paid for, even to the last farthing; no force was used towards any person who, however defenceless, refused to comply with the requests of Mr.O'BRIEN, and, although there was an attack made upon the police at Boulagh-common : there is reason to suppose that it was wholly without the assent . of Mr. O'BRIEN, who interposed as a mediator between the hostile ranks, at the imminent risk of his life, his undefended bosom being within a few inches of the police bayonets, a slight movement of which would have rendered this protracted trial wholly unneces sary. Indeed, the Lord Chief Justice, in his able and lucid charge, wholly acquitted Mr. O'BRIEN of having stimulated the party to attack the police, cr of having uttered the words laid to his charge. Here ; then, we see that, although he unhappily participated in the outbreak so as to subject himself to the penal ties of the law, he moderated the passions of his associates, and that we are in a great degree indebted to him for the preservation of life and prc. perty in the disturbed districts. These, then, we submit, afford ample and sufficient reasons why the Government should comply with the recommefl dations:of the jury, and extend mercy to one who, although in error, has in every instance acted in q. manner becoming a high-minded and honourable gentleman. Military and naval improvements have latterly begun to occupy a considerable portion of public at tern of education into the barrack, and of organizing• somewhat more efficiently the arrangements of the, dockyard, has at length been recognised. As yet, however, there has not been any perceptible move ment towards the improvement and re-organization o' a service of quite as much, if not of a still greater im portance—we mean, of course, the service of our Artillery. While the current number of the Quar terly Review contains an intelligent article upon thc subject of "Military Education," we observe with pleasure in the number of Dolosan's Magazine sue October au admirable paper upon the inefficiency 04 " Our Artillery." The extraordinary evils which must inevitably result from a persistence in our pre sent conduct towards this branch of the public service impels us to enforce the arguments of the last men tioned writer, by analysing and epitomising his statements, and by accompanying that analysis and epitome with our own commentaries. Before the exigencies of our position, in as far the inefficiency of the artillery service is concerned, can be recognised and appreciated, it will be neces sary to give our readers, in as brief a manner an possible, some notiontof the rudiments of this scientific portion of the Unnatural Philosophy of offensive and defensive warfare. A glance over the historiet.3 of the European races will reveal the won derful progress which has been made in the science of artillery since the monk SCHWARTSt: first contrived a projectile discharged by the detona tion of gunpowder. And the substitution of this ter rible instrument of destruction for the old and clumsy appointments of the bowyers and galeators—t wit the trebuchets, the robinets, the onagers, and the aspringals—will be found to have led to the establishment of the Ordnance-office in Great Britain as early as the Protectorate of RICHARD the cele brated Duke of Gloucester and afterwards King o! England. To detail the, progressive .4advance ment of the institution from the appoint ment of Baur BraoD as Master-General! in 1483, to that of DUDLEY in 1587, to that of ESSEX in 1596, to that of SCHOMBERG in 1689, to that of MARLBOROUGH in 1714, to that of LIGONIER in 175'7, and so downwards to our own times, through KEMPT, ANGLESEY, VIVIAN, MURRAY, and WELLINGTON, would be apart altogether from our immediate object ; and would be liable rather to confuse the bearing of our remarks than to afford any important illustration to our arguments. It would, in like manner, be superfluous in this place to enter upon any technical definition of the differences existing be tween howitzers and carronades, between mortars and rockets, between congreve rockets and shell rockets, between shot rockets and carcass rockets. Such in formation may be gleaned from elementary works like the Artillerist's Manual, or in fact from t h e details of the most superficial encyclopxdia More to our purpose is it to define the distribution., of the artillery service into two great divisi ons; namely, the Field Artillery and th e Garrison or Siege Artillery—divisions which are felicitously de scribed by the writer in Dolman as " the poles of the magnet, the one representative of defensive, the alic . of offensive war ; the first of resistance, the last of attack." From the pamphlet of Sir ROBERT Galt. DINER there are some most instructing and copiour. extracts illustrative of the precise number of guns and gunners in our different insular garrisons. Our present purpose, however, will be sufficiently satisfied by conveying the condensed result of many diffused calculations. For instance, the general summary of garrison artillery enables us to arrive at these con clusions—that there are in England Scotland Channel Islands Ireland Stations abroad . 1,454 .... ..... . 3,358 Total mounted garrison guns ... 4,812 For the service of this gross aggregate .of cannon our artillery returns yield only the comparatively insig., nificant number of 9,000 gunners—being scarcer t-xo gunners to each gun, " while the Field Artil- I lir x - remains to be manned, and the various airirnumeraries, non-commissioned officers, &c., to be ' Bewise accounted for, altogether requiring a propor tion of ten men to a gun !! !" Well may the writer ezvihasis his deduction with three notes of admira tio-i. And in speaking of the disorganized condition of the artillery he expresses himself in this forcible L - --I sarcastic language : " With the exception of the horse artillery, every val_2lery soldier may be, and generally is, required to • - e - forxa the various duties of a field, and the more s.:t ious duties of a heavy artilleryman. His meta a' rphose from a gunner into a driver, or 1 from a driver into a gunner, is nothing to th changes he undergoes. With FALSTAFF, he fry say, ' I would to GOD my name were fa t so terrible to the enemy as it is ; I were b 4 tter to be eaten to death with rust than to be sc nired to nothingwith perpetual motion.' He is at me time in the laboratory making rockets, then 1 - nounting a gun on a devil-carriage, then dismount ' I*2l. himself from a battery nag; here o n th e ar s enal I g. ound, there sweeping the parade ; in the morning i. mortar practice, in the afternoon at infantry drill ! ! Eis existence is delightfully Protean, though, per haps, it claims a stronger resemblance to that of a ose bustling spirits who abortively crowd the 1 bank of the Styx, or employ themselves, like Sisz ! ?Ins and others, in doing what leads to no p . ofitable result. We have always thought t'-e dress of an artilleryman very significant; the e. 'lours of the rainbow, carefully graduated, from the 1 ' i'olet of his trousers to the orange of his collar, perfectly symbolize the prismatic variety of his duties, aad :adapt themselves, picturesquely enough, to the t : gimental motto of Übique." With this preposterous diversity of employments, 'i' is manifest that no great excellence can be ever acquired in any one of the manifold departments of 4 le profession. And coupling the incessant and de sultory occupation of the men with their paucity c f numbers, it is obvious that the whole service 1 ,ants an infusion of strength and a general re-organi zation. It is peculiarly creditable to the intelligence of Dolman's Magazine that this enormous exigency in tae public service should have been so very clearly r xposed through the medium of its pages, and that t'ne voice of this monthly organ, in particular, should ) e amongst the foremost and the most audible in de l:.sanding a complete and searching investigation. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. There were various rumours current on Sunday as the course of conduct which General CAVAIGNAC and his colleagues were supposed to be about to adopt n consequence of the vote of the Assembly on the Pubject of President. On this subject we find the following article in the Presse : " It was rumoured yesterday that General Cavaig nac and all the Ministry had formed the design of sending in their resignation en masse , in order to alarm the majority, and force it to go back, this day ( ;Monday), on its vote of Saturday, by means of some -ndirect amendment—some desperate subterfuge. 3 :t is possible that the National may still deceive itself such a point as to suppose that no other Govern -nent is possible but the African arbitrary rule which nas been in force since the 25th of June last; the National may imagine that the majority, forced to ;he wall by the resignation of General Cavaignac, could not End means of replacing him. If ,he National thinks so, it is strangely rn is -aken. Ministers of the ability of MM. Senard, Goudchaux, &c., &c., are not difficult to find ; -t is not necessary to stop in order to choose them ; all that is required is to stoop down and pick them up. A head of the executive power, a sort of Bey of France Algerised, is a personage that can , ntsily be done without; it suffices to have at the head of the war department a sword, whose experience, firmness, and sincerity give all kinds of guarantees ; 'nit General de Lamoriciere withdrawing, has not the majority General Changarnier left? It cannot be said of him that he has ever been undecided or doubt- Lill, and that in order to expose his person, and at last declare for one particular side, he waited until there was neither peril nor merit. The lath of April is there to answer for his firmness and sincerity. As to the head of the new Cabinet, he is quite naturally pointed out by the vote of Saturday. Is it not M. Dufaure, who supported the views of the committee, and achieved their triumph, when M. Marrast, the reporter, voted against them ? If it were true that General Cavaignac was retiring, which we do not be lieve, and that for many reasons the majority could the Council, and confide to him the task of corn rmsing a new Ministry, M. Dufaure, as President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, as was in 1831 M. Casimir Perier, would have this advantage, that he would give all the guarantees possible to the candidates for the office of President of the Republic. With M. Dufaure there would be a certainty that the sincerity of election would be scrupulously respected, that no intimidation would be exercised, no fraud re main unpunished ! With M. Dufaure, France would at last return to the reign of legality, without which there can be neither security, nor confidence, nor credit, nor work—four links of the same chain. The majority will have so much the more reason to choose M. Dufaure for President of the Council, that he has not the slightest pretension to the Presidentship of the Republic. Charged to form a cabinet, M. Dufaure would not experience the slightest difficulty in doing so. The National, therefore, will act wisely not to depend too much on the embarrassment of the majo rity, for that journal, by an imprudent counsel, may very well expose General Eugene Cavaignac not to have in the Assembly any other part than that of General Clement Thomas, the difference between May 15 and June 25 being duly taken into con , sideration." Anger is a bad councillor, and the wrath of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN bath here overcome his pru dence. The object of the Judases of the Republic is now avowed—it is to make M. DUFAURE President of the Council of Ministers, because he has not the slightest pretension to the Presidentship of the Republic. Undoubtedly he has not : with M. DIIFAURE as Pre sident and General CRANGARNIIR as Commander-in- Chief, it would not be their fault if there were no Republic to have a President. M. D UPAURE, one of the old Ministers of the corrupt court of LOUIS PHILIPPE, sighs for the restoration of the " good things" which then fell to the lot of a dynastic Minister; and CHAN. GARNIRR, the personal friend and the ready flat terer of the ORLEANS dynasty, would fain play the part BIIGEAUD in Algeria. That they would succeed in eventually restoring the " dynasty " we do not for a moment believe. It fell rotten from its own cor ruption—it fell because it was an organized falsehood —it fell because there was no truth in it. Never theless, any attempt to restore it, although unsuc cessful, would be attended with much bloodshed and much confusion; to avoid the chance of which it is above all things necessary that the corrupt agents of the corrupt monarchy should be kept altogether aloof from power in the Republic. The Patrie says— " It is almost unanimously agreed in the two prin cipal clubs of representatives to endeavour to induce the National Assembly to declare that the election of the President of the Republic shall take place imme iiately after the section of the Constitution relative •e the Executive Power has been voted. The club of the Rue Taithout, or the Montague, does not reject this opinion. The club of the Palais National and the friends of the Government are alone in favour of deferring the election of the President unt i l a ft er t h e organic laws are passed., The first portion of the colonists for Algeria, 843 in number, left the Quai de Bercy yesterday morning in six large boats, fitted up with every regard to their comfort. They will proceed in these boats as far as Jhalons, and from thence in steamers to the coast. the Minister of War and several high military and officers were present at the embarkation, and took great interest in the arrangements. General DE LAMoEICJERE addressed them in a speech of en couragement, and promising that they should inces• santly be the objects of the solicitude of the Govern. 'neut. After his speech, which was received with ,oud cries of "Vive la Republique ! Vive l'Algerie ! Vive la France ! and Vive LAMORICIERB !" M. Du- FAURE, in the name of the National Assembly, and TRZLAT, as President of the Committee on Agri . _ _ cultural Colonies, also addressed the colonists in a • " , teling manner. Before the departure the Curb of Bercy pronounced a benediction on the flag hoisted by the colonists, and addressed to them a few words of -,ncouragement and consolation. The Moniteur contains the following :—" A jour nal announces, on the faith of a London paper, that the Duchess of BERRY recently passed several days I n Paris, and that the police, informed of her place of - esidence, was content with watching her movements.

There are many reasons why the strong and unani mous recommendation of the jury who so nobly and conscientiously discharged the duty they owed to their country, in the recent trial at Clonmel, should receive the attentive consideration it so fully merits, and why the prayer thereof should forthwith be con sidered by those entrusted with the administration of justice in Ireland the responsible advisers of her Most Gracious MAJESTY. We have 'al ready set forth public grounds why mercy should be extended to the unfortunate gentleman who, whatever may have been his errors, ever maintained an irreproachable character, and in all the relations of private life merited the admiration and respect of all his acquaintances, and of those in any manner connected with him by the ties of friendship or con sanguinity. These grounds may be shortly set forth as follows : First, it is neither just nor expedient, wise or politic, to inflict capital punishment for a merely poli tical offence, more especially when that offence has been unattended with any aggravating circumstances of plunder or bloodshed. 2dly, That the difference of the law in England and Ireland, by which parties accused of high treason in the latter country are de prived of advantages to which they would be entitled in England, and which are here considered to be es sential to their defence, should prevent the extreme penalty from being carried into execution ; and that, if so, it might be asserted with truth that the same protection and justice is not afforded to the Irish people that may be claimed by every English citimen. The sufferer would be regarded as the victim of partial and unequal laws, and a new and powerful argument would be given to all classes of Repealers, vim., that the fundamental provisions of the Act of Union had been violated and set aside, and that in a point in volving the life or death, the liberty and property of an Irish gentleman, many years the representative of an important constituency in the Imperial Parliament. There are, however, additional grounds why mercy should be extended, founded upon every circumstance of the entire career of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, before as well as subsequently to the period when, through a combination of untoward circumstances, he was hur ried into acts of open hostility to the constituted authorities of the country. Previously to the actual outbreak Mr. O'BRIEN at all times repudiated the extremities to which his more dangerous associates were inclined to proceed. While MITCHEL professed Republicanism, and de sired a total separation between the countries, SMITH O'BRIEN only asked for what he believed to be a re storation of the Irish nationality, the repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ire land. Every sentiment he uttered bore the character of affectionate loyalty to his SOVEREIGN, and even his worst enemy never imputed to him the slightest hypo crisy, or a concealment of his inmost thoughts- It was clearly and distinctly proved that be rep u . diated the violence of Mrrcaz.r., and the revolutionary opinions to which he gave utterance, and that he re fused to remain a member of the Irish Confederation unless MITCHEL sent in his resignation, which was accordingly done. He was an ardent and enthusi astic Repealer, but although we differ tote ccelo from his opinions on that subject, and as strenuously sup port the Act of Union as he was conscienti- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10; 1848.

The Austrian Lloyds Gazette gives the following account of the battle:— " On the 29th September, at a quarter to eleven o'clock in the morning, Jellachich, at the head of his army, issued forth from the gates of Stuhlweissen burg, his picked troops in the van. He attacked the right wing of the Hungarian army with his main body. Two companies of National Guards were the first attacked, and fell back in di sor d er; b u t ra llyi ng , advanced steadily with fixed bay one t s , an d d rove the Croatians back with slaughter. Jellachich then issued orders to his Cuirassiers to charge, and, placing himself at the head of them, advanced at full speed on the Hungarian infantry. the Hun garian cavalry were drawn up in battle array in beautiful order. As the Cuirassiers came rush ing on, a masked battery of the Hungarian Land wehr, stationed on a hill-side, and supported by a body of infantry, sent a murderous volley of bullets into the close set ranks of the horsemen, who retired in disorder. The Hungarian Hussars charged in their turn, and a hand to hand melee ensued, which lasted from eleven in the morning till five in the after. noon. General Mogg, who commanded the Hunga rians, displayed the greatest skill and coolness. At six o'clock the artillery ceased playing, and the Croa tian army withdrew slowly in an easterly direction. A council of war was immediately held in the Hungarian camp, fearing that the enemy should at tack their flank at Chalvar, Bia, and Bieske, and attack Ofen on another point ; they resolved, conse quently, to withdraw to Markonvasar, to protect the city against a coup de main. The field of battle was left in possession of the Hungarians, who have to de plore the loss of Ivanka, one of their leaders, who was made a prisoner." JELLAC HICH has, it is said, fallen back in disorder behind the Platter See. The Hungarians took Count ZICHY prisoner, and upon him were found some letters from the Baron, in which the latter invites him to enlist the Hungarian soldiers. The universal cry of " Death to the traitor" arose, and the Count ZICHY was hung. JELLACHICH has been appointed by the EMPEROR. Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian troops in Hun gary. The spirit of the Hungarian troops is excellent. The Hungarian troops cantoned out of the country are also animated by unequivocal feelings of patriot ism. Three hundred Hungarian infantry have, of their own accord, marched from Gallicia to join in the combat, and the 12th Regiment of Hussars have also deserted in companies to come to the assistance of their country. It is the same in Italy. It is stated :from good authority that RADETZICY has written to the Austrian Ministry to have done with the Hungarians, for that he cannot keep them in his army. Sixteen Hungarian soldiers were shot on the very day that RADETzKY sent off his dispatch to Vienna. B URBAN, who had come from Bohemia at the head of some hundreds of students, to raise the Sclaves of the north against the Hungarians, has been defeated by the National Guard, and his band completely dis persed. The Augsburg Gazette of the sth October pub lishes the following under the head Vienna, Oct. 2 : " Many unpleasant rumours have had circulation these few days past. It was reported that the Poll sitting of the Diet, and that a new law for the pre-s was to be promulgated, under the protection of the bayonet. Count Auersperg has, however, denied that these rumours have any foundation, and that the promulgators of them will be punished. The charivaris have ceased, thanks to the intervention of the National , Guard." GALLICIA.

The Hungarian Regiment (Grand Duke Michael) desired to set out for Hungary; he was even on the point of doing so, when he heard that the Poles of Lemberg proposed to go to the assistance of the Hungarians. The com mander appeased the soldiers by promising that he would set out on the 6t h The agitation, however, still continued, and a similar enthusiasm f o r the Hun garian cause was manifested by the Hussars." FRANKFORT. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the sth instant, makes the followin g announcement ------- • " M. Camphausen, the Plenipotentiary of Prussia to the Central Power , yesterd a y i n f orme d th e Mi nister of the Empire that the Chamberlain de Retz, who had been sent by De nmark to Berlin, had made in the name of his Government a declaration to the following effect :---‘ That th e P rov i s i ona l Govern ment of the two duchies shall be chosen from the persons named in the list communicated by the Plenipotentiary of the Central Power, and in con fiirmity with the paragraph relative to it in the ar mistice. PRUSSIA. The Burgher Guard law was publicly burned by the people of Berlin on the sth of October. Several speeches were made on the occasion. One of them terminated in these words :—" The Burgher Guard law was conceived in the name of absolutism and re action : let it perish in the name of liberty and the people's rights." ITALY. PIEDMONT. It is said General CUBIERES, who was made the scape-goat in the Teste affair, and in consequence dismissed from the French army, will take the com mand of the army of CHARLES ALBERT. TUSCANY. The Corriere Mercantile, of Oct. 4, says, news from Leghorn, of Oct. 1, has been received, to the effect that on the previous day there was a meeting in the cathedral of a large number of the citizens, the clergy, and of the municipality and the Cham ber of Commerce, when the following wish was ex pressed : " The inhabitants of Leghorn wish to remain, as they have always remained, united to the Tuscan nation and faithful to their c onstitutional Prince. " They desire to obtain from the executive power an amnesty for all, w h e th er military or civil. " The Ministry should resign their exceptional powers, and ex erc i se t h ose on ly which were confe rre d by the constitution. "A deputation shall be sent to Florence with these propositions, protesting that if they are not accepted, the inhabitants will act as in conscience and right they are entitled to do, and, should they deem it ad visable, will send a manifesto, which will contain an account of all that has passed, to all the Courts of Europe. "A committee of public safety shall be appointed." VENICE• - -- - - - There was a smart skirmish on the 25th ult., near the fort of Eau, the cannonade from which forced the Austrian outposts to retire. SICILY. The Opinione of Turin, of the 4th inst., has letters from Messina of the 23d ult. A French steamer had conveyed a French captain to Palermo, to take the direction of the fortifications of that city. The royal troops extend from Messina to Scaletta (15 miles), and in another direction as far as Milazzo (24 miles). Any further progress is impossible on their part, blocked up as they are by an insurmountable cordon of Sicilians, protected by the nature of the country. An engagement is said to have taken place at Saor mina, in which the Sicilians obtained the advantage over the Swiss. According to the Piedmontese Gazette, the authori ties of Palermo have demanded an armistice of some months. MONEY rida :'e3 ikciAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed firmly. Sales 5,000 bales, including 500 of American for export ; American realised :id. to sd. per lb. For sr tires the market was gloomy, and considerably lower. There are various ship arrivals today, but the ac counts generally are not of later date. The American advices notice less doing in grain and cotton, but this was the result as much of a temporary, or presumed temporary stringency in the money market, as of any other cause. In reference to public stocks, Ste., at New York, it is stated that " Government and State securities have been in very moderate demand during the past few weeks, and the prospect at present is, that a decline in prices, to a cer • tain extent, will soon be realised. We base this opinion upon the fact, that money is becoming scarcer every day, and its value daily increasing. The amount of Govern ment stock upon the market is more than it can bear, and unless it is relieved it will be impossible to sustain prices. The advices received by the last steamer from London, relative to the negotiation of a loan upon the hypothecation of United States Six per Cent. Stock, have not had a very favourable influence upon these securities, and it is the universal im pression in the street, that in the event of the required loan not being made, Treasury notes will sink below par. If the loan is obtained, money will be plentier, and the market relieved, and if it is not ob tained, Treasury notes will, without doubt, fall below par, and the market be relieved by arresting the drain of specie to pay into the independeut treasury, as these notes will be purchased for payment into the Custom house, and take the place of the precious metals. There is, therefore, a probability of improvement in the Money-market." The Canadian accounts are interesting. The Quebec Gazette, in reply to some remarks that have appeared under this head, and were furnished by a corre spondent, denies that there is any French Canadian Go vernment in existence, or that any French party is in power. When Mr. Lafontaine came into power it was throrgh election by a constituency of Bri tish birth or descent in Upper Canada, where very few Fee-rich are to be found, and he has ever since, says the Quebec Gazette, adhered to Mr. Baldwin and his political party. At the last gene ral election, Mr. Lafontaine was returned by a combined vote of the British and French electors of the capital city of the province. If there existed a French party in the Government, it could only be a small minority, and there are but four of French origin in the present Administra tion, while eight are British, and with respect to Lord Elgin's being so much controlled as to be unable to in vite to his table any one who might be objectionable to the French Canadians, the editor of the Gazette says (which, by the bye, is not a denial) that he never heard any instance of the kind. The Government, it is added, is simply unpopular with some of the papers, and its financial :difficulties were bequeathed to it by its pre • decessors. The Toronto Globe considers the issue of debentures to have succeeded well, but the Gazette admits that upon this subject opinions in the province were divided. By an arrival from New Zealand we have dates of April 19, from Wellington, and April 8, from Nelson. The arrangements were in active progress for settling the Otakon district, and its colonization was expected to be of great service to the southern parts. At Wellington, the exchange on London was 2 per cent. premium, and freight was 6/. There v% as a re-selection of town acres going on at Nelson under the last arrangement between the Ne Zealand Company and their purchasers. From Auckland the dates are April 9. The mur derers of Lieutenant Snow and family were still undis covered. The English Funds have further declined to-day, and, after the long pause, there is more activity, with an ap parent inclination to press sales. There are various reasons assigned. Foremost is the railway panic which compels, it is contended, the realization of assets by certain parties who have made advances upon shares. We shall not feed the morbid taste for excitement which points invidiously first at one individual or company, and then at another, as being "in difficulties," simply because such notices can do no good, and must do much harm. A fall of 4 or 1 per cent. in these times can readily be explained on tangible grounds, without mere speculators inventing causes, or magnifying sales made in the way of business into embarrassment felt by any instl tution. The knowledge that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has stock to sell, that the election for President in France will solve a mo mentous problem, and that the pacification of Italy has yet to be accomplished, are all accessory, if not prime causes that weigh heavily against the abundance of money in the bankers' hands (never great probably), and against the comparatively satisfactory revenue re turn promised this evening. Consols opened at 851 have been down to 851 -k, and are now about 85.1- t. Exchequer-bills are 30s. to 335. premium. The Foreign Bonds have been very dull. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 111 to 4; Mexican 18-4- to ; Equador 2; and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 72 . In the Railway Share Market there is less excite ment, but no improvement in prices. The tone is, per haps, a little better; but we fear that there are still sellers hovering over the market to take advantage of any rally. Some parties are trying the Liverpool market. ~ m ~,, ~ .._. ~.-, ~..-. r• nr.A. Ir to v.,1. I" ...a. ,zriz V ldl.o orr. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE MILLER. The bankrupt had carried on business as a grocer, &c, Commercial-place, Kentish• town, and came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Cooke, Mr. Sturgeon, and Mr. Jervis, solicitors, opposed on behalf of the assignees and creditors. It appeared, after a lengthened examination, that the bankrupt had got rid of the whole of his property to family creditors, and less than 101. had been got in foe the general body. HIS HONOUR said it was a very suspicious case, but he did not think he ought to commit the bankrupt, bat he should adjourn the examination sine die, leaving the bankrupt to come up at his own expense, when he could produce satisfactory accounts.

Martin's-lane, and after partaking of something to drink he fell asleep in the parlour. After remaining for some time in that state he was awoke by some person in the room, who told him that the prisoner had picked his (prosecutor's) pocket. Witness then put his hand into his trousers pocket and missed about 9s. 6d. in silver, which he had safe in his pocket previous to falling asleep.

Mr. John Waters, a gentleman residing at No. I, Kensington-street, Knightsbridge, said he was in the parlour at Ben Cannes last night, and observed the pro secutor lying with his head on the table fast asleep.

After a short time had elapsed, witness saw the prisoner put his hand into prosecutor's pocket, and take out something which witness could not distinguish. Witness then roused the prosecutor up, and told him he had been robbed. Klr. Caunt then came in, and on his hearing the circumstances of the case, sent for a constable, and gave the prisoner in charge. . The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was fully committed.
