GRAND DUCHY OF BADBN• CARLSRLIIE, APRIL 29.—The following ordinance was published this morning : " We, Leopold, by the grace of God, Grand Duke of Baden, &c. For some time since public tranquillity hss been disturbed at Mannheim. A certAin number of in solent and bold men have, by their aulacity and their violence, terrified the inhabitants, and rendered the sway of the legal authorities impossible, &c. " Consequently, the town of Mannheim is proclaimed In a state of siege. All inhabitants are obliged to deliver their arms to the proper authorities in the three hours following the publication of the present d. The arms which are not delivered at the expiration of the above delay wi l la:!! confiscated." Three thousand Bavarian troops have entered Mannheim this morning. The men who, armed with scythes, attacked the troops close to the Rhine-bridge at Mannheim, have been taken into custody and brought to Bruchsal. BRUNS WICK. On the 30th ult. the State Assembly was pro rog ued to th e 20 t h o f J une , on w hi c h day it is to meet again to discuss a law concerning the modifica tions to be introduced into the constitution. The 101 l of the ex Minister, Count of . VELTPEIND, having caricatured some of the most popular men in the to wn, the mob gathered, and broke some panes at the windows of his house. The publisher of these cari catures was saved from the hands of the people by the civic guard. Some other persons had their panel broken on this occasion. F RANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. The Teutonic National Assembly, or German Par - 'lament, commenced its sittings on the Ist M ay, in the To wn -h all of Frankfort. The Parliament opene d with 17 members. Amongst the most distinguished of the se were Herr Blum,- Vice-President of the Committ ee o f Fifty • Herr Herginhume, Minister of Hes se Darmstadt ; Herr Eisenmann, one of those formerly condemned for his political opinions ; Herr Hkksher, a celebrated advocate in Hamburgh ; and the Herren Hipperman and Schwarzenberg, m e mbers of th e opposition in Hesse Casse l . Th e Preslrdennat g ()111•Iber present, H err S c h o lt, ac t e d as the day Speaker of the day, and the Secretary was llerr Jucho, member for Frankfort. o _ °t hlog will be done until a sufficiently large return .folembe.rs had been made and assembled in Frank fort, t o ~, _consideri4n-gs"; that the thus ' congregated together in the national will was represented. I . n the Meantime the Committee of Fifty will . con tioUe to exercise its functions in superintending all affairs affecting the interests of the Germanic people. All the members in Frankfort, as well as the Committee of Fifty, attended the funeral of General GAG E", which t oo k ' place on the I st inst. , a s chief mourners The funeral of General GAGERN was not merely a solemn displ a y of personal respect for the deceased, but it Was, in truth, a political incident, in which Were exhibited the represen tatives of different Sove reigns and States; and the officers of various armies Combined with the citizen soldiers of a free city, in demonstrating that all were united in opposition to t he Communists, Anarchists, and violent Republicans of Germany. BAVARIA. A letter from Munich, dated 29th April, mentions the election of the Herren HERMANN and FALL MURAYER and observes that the town was threatened with disturbances by the populace on account of the absence by the soldiers, but that the description and numbers of the Free Corps of Citizins has served to overawe those disposed to violate peace and good order. In one part of Bavaria almost one-fifth of those elected as electors of the representatives are clergymen. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Assembly of the Danish States has been opened at Roeskilda by the Royal Commissary, Count SPONNACK, who declared the resistance of Schleswig to the proposition of an incorporation with Denmark as nothing less than open •rebellion. Addresses to the KING and the army were proposed, and unanimously adopted by the Assembly. Re monstrances were made by several of the Members against the conduct of the Minister of Marine in not having blockaded the mouth of the Elbe. In answer, an assurance was given that two frigates are fitting out with that object. Two Danish vessels have been captured in the Elbe, the one by the Hanoverian brig lying off Stade who fired into her. The other vessel was captured at a distance off Cuxhaven by the quasi-Hanoverian- Hamburgh steamer Gutenberg. We have nothing particular from the seat of war. The Prussians will march into Jutland and Seeland, and attempt the Belt—this is the plan laid down, and preparations are made for it. The island of Alsen Will be the next place where hard fighting is expected. The place is entrenched on all sides. The bulk of the Danish troops are already there, supported by several armed steamers, brigs of war, and upwards of sixty gun-boats ; the life and death struggle of Denmark will be here, and the allies know well the strength opposed to them, as they will not attempt any attack before the heavy artillery from Hanover gets there. It is expected that Denmark will proclaim the blockade of the Elbe in a day or two. A letter from Hanover of the 30th ult. states that General lIALKETT had written to the KING, an nouncing that, on his arrival on the coast opposite the e land of Al sen , th e Danes quitted their entrench taenta Without firing a shot. He took possession of t hese entrenchments, but states that the attack on the isl and would be a work of great difficulty, as it is Well protected by artillery and Danish ships of war. POLAND AND POSEN. Affairs continue very unsettled in Pc sen. The h ßreslau Gazette of the 30th of April reports " Partial fights between the troops and the in tl, Rents are occurr i ng every day t h roug h out t h e th e An enc-unter toek place at Strzelno, in •L'e district of Znowraelaw, between a hundred ,„ B°l46 ra and s i x h un d re d P o l es arme d with scythes.

A letter from Posen, of the 28th of April, states that a portion of the Polish party have sent to the Emperor of Russia an address, in which they entr eat him t o p roc l a i m t h e D u k e of LEIJCIITENBURG, in g Of the whole Sclavonic people (Bohemia in uded), under the sovereignty of the CZAR. the deputation from Warsaw to Petersburgh has m et the EstrEnou on the way, and returned Kith him * 0 Warsaw. News from Russian Poland is very Sca nty, as the regular communications are inter rupted. Commercial letters received at Posen state l h at an insurrection had broken out at St. Peters burgh, amongst the troops of the Imperial Guard, but had been speedily suppressed. Wolhynia and Po dolia, i t is said, are ripe for an insurrection, and await but the favourable moment. RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA. A. letter from Constantinople, of April 17, says .7 " Russia i s concentrating considerable forces in the Crimea and in Bessarabia. All the fleet of the Black has m a d e Sea i s ready to quit S e b astapol. Prince \VonoazorF advant a ge ous propositions to the Circassians : he has gone so far Russian a rm as to consent to withdraw all the leave any garrison frisroonin the Ci rcassian soil, and not to except Ina few forts, provided SCHAMTL w ou ld recognise t h e soverignty of the CZAR.

A deputation from the " Associate Institution for Improving and Enforcicg the Laws for the Protection of Women," consisting of the Earl of Moun:,shel, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Sir Edward Buxton shed, Lord Mr. Cabbell, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr. John Dt-an Paul, and Mr. Astbury, had an int,rview this morning with his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, at Lain. beth Palace. THE COLOSSEUM.—The following distinguished parties honoured the Colosseum with a visit yesterday afternoon:—The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess of Argyle, Countess of Car!lab., Ludy Ann Campbell, Lady C. L. Gower, Lady Dover and daughters, &c., &c., aud, we believe, had an oppur• tunity of viewing the new grand panorama of Paris. IT A T VENICE. It appears from the accounts received from Italy in France that the Austrian Genera], NUGENT, is making great progress in the Venetian territories. The Journal des Debats says— " We hive received disastrous accounts from Frioul. General Count Nugent, who has re.c , -ntly crossed the Isonzo r,t the head of an ..xustrian corps of 12,000 men, makes fresh progress every day. The canture of Udine, the capital of Frioul, is fuliy confit med. But a much greater check for the Italian cause consists in the capi tulation of the fortress of Palmanova, which took place on the 25th ult. This fortress, which is one of the strorn,rest in Italy, was the bulwark of the Republic provinces. It was commanded by General Zaccht, on 2 of the veterans of the Italian army in the time of Na poleon. We reckoned much on the merit and on the courage of that officer! but we must add, that the 6,000 or 8,000 it en whom he had berm able to assemble were quite in,ufficient to defend the fortifications, which are on a most extended scale. " We have before us the Venetian journals of the 25th, but we find nothing in them but false reports of a pre tended defeat of the Austrians at the gates of Udine. When we see this want of news at such a critical mo ment, we cannot but deplore the incredible &pithy of the Venetians, who confine themselves to accusing the Roman General Durand°, as if from the banks of the Po, where he had onl) just arrived, he could immediately transport himself to the frontier of the Frioul." The Augsburg Gazette, of the 30th ult , contains the following letter ft oni Trieste, of the 26th : " Several letters have reached this place from Gontzia, on the Isonzo, and from Cormono, the frontier of the Frioul. containing the account of the surrender of Palma nova on the 25th, on the med,ation of the Archbishop and of some delegates from Udine, and that the Austrian troops immediately entered the place." LOMBARDY. The Risorgirnento of the Ist inst. quotes a letter from Somma Campagna of the 29th ult., containing an account of the operations that had taken place the day before. The Brigade Pinerolo, that had hitherto blockaded Peschiera, left the 14th regiment there for that purpose, and passed to the right of the Mincio, occupying the village of Cavalcasette, between Pes chiera and Verona. The Brigade Piedmont, which had its advanced posts at Castelnovo, occupied I'acen go, on the Lake of Garda, after a severe fight with a superior number of Austrians, who were defeated. The Brigade Savoy took up its position at Santa Giustina, also between Peschiera and Verona; and lastly, the Brigade of Savona and the body of Par mese occupied the village of Sandra, and effected their junction with the Brigade of Piedmont. By these movements it appears that communications are absolutely cut off between Verona and Peschiera. Great uncertainty exists concerning the taking of Udine. In the Venetian papers of the 26th ult. we not only see the news confirmed, that the Austrians had not entered the town, but it is also affirmed that General Zuccut had received reinforcements of Ve- netiPn volunteers at Palmanova, and that he had de clared his determination to defend that fortress, which is in a good state of defence, to the last extremity. On the other hand, the Aug,Nburg Gazette of the 30th quotes a letter from Trieste of the 26th, announcing that several letters arrived there from Gori!z and Cormons contains the news that Palmanovo had capi tulated at hay-past three Pat., on the 25th. Another report of General NUGENT announces that Cividale, north of Udine, had been taken. Codriopo was to he occupied on the 24th, and an engagement, in which the Austrians had the advantage, had taken place at Ponteba. ROME,. Several representatives of different States of Italy have arrived at Rome to attend the Roman National Assembly. The question as to whether or not Rome should declare war against Austria is to be considered in a Secret Consistory. The Roman army, under the command of General DURAND°, composed of 11,000 infantry of the line, four battalions of the Civic Guard, and 500 volunteers, commanded by ZAMBFCCARI, has passed the Po, and is marching towards Mantua. General FERRARI, with 6,000 men, is still at Bologna waiting for the artillery of the Civic Guard. It is believed that this corps will move into the Venetian State to oppose the troops of General NUGENT. THE NEW TELEGRAPHIC LIGHT-HOU SE. That numerous shipwrecks have occurred of late years from the mistakes arising from the present very defective state of the light-house system, in which, as the colour and the times of the appearance and the disappearance of the resp. ctive lights are the only means by which the navigator can distinguish one light from another, is matter of notoriety. It is almost impossible when at sea in rough weather to observe with accuracy either the colour of the light or the times its of disappearance and re-appearance, nothing therefore has been more common of late years than to find that one light has been mistaken for another, and that shipwreck, involving great loss of human life and property, has been the consequence. In the existing plan the colour of the light seems to be the main point of dependence, whereas colour alone is to be least trusted, changed as it perpetually becomes in its character by variation in atmosphere, by rain, fog, &c., and hence mistakes, and the fearful evils arising therefrom. The unnecessary height of the present structures is a further source of mischief, as it causes them to ap pear to the mariner to be at a greater distance than they really are, whereas the spectator requiring to know where the danger lies, should have the light indicating such danger almost parallel with his eye. The insufficiency also of the light caused by the want of more powerful reflectors, mei their similarity of appearance, leads seamen to be quite at a loss to mike out their real position when at sea during the darkness of night, hazy atmosphere, or fog. In consequence of the numerous shipwrecks which have recently occurred from these causes, Mr. George Wells, of the Admiralty, Somerset House, has been in duced to turn his attention to this subject, and be has in vented a new species alight- house which he terms the new telegraph light house, by which many of the defects of the present system are remedied. Mr. Wells proposes —That four (er more) circular apertures he cut in all the existing buildings just below the lantern (circu lars being less calculated to weaken the structure), and the opening thus made fitted with a sash glazed with ground plate glass, with the first letter of toe name of the particular light- house painted in an opaque colour thereon, the lights being so refle-cted as to render the unpainted glass transprent, and thus exhibiting the letter itselt in hold relief. The 1,-ngth of the letter being double that of the lantern itself, the letter will consequently be more clearly visible—remove all grounds for doubt as to what light-house it is, and thus afford that security to the mariner which is not experienced under the existing system, with which this suggested improvement will in no way interfere. A model of the new telegraphic light-house was exhibited at a recent scientific conversazione at the M ar quis of Northampton's, where it was the sutject of much attention by the scientific men present, who declared it to be a very great improvement on the present system. Several experienced ntival officers to whom the model has been submitted have borne their testi• mony to the great merits of this new light-house. Had one of the new telegraphic light-houses been erected at Dundrutn, exhibiting as it would have done the letter D. Captain Hosken could rut possibly have mistaken it for the light on the Calf of Man, and the Great Britain would have escaped shipwreck. The name of Mr. Wells will henceforth stand in the roll of the benefactors of the human race. He will he the means of saving an immense amount of life, and of preserving pr o p er t y to a va l ue i nca l cu l a b le from destruction. DEATH OF MR. THOMAS ARCHER, COMEDIAN.— Another well-known member of the dramatic profession has quitted the mortal and mimic scene. Thomas Archer, for 25 years attached to Drury-lane, Covent garden, the Lyceum, and other Theatres, a dramatic author of no mean pretensions, and a contributor to the periodical literature of the day, expired on Wednesday, the 3d inst., at his residence, Mount gardens, La m b e th, at the age of 59. Archer was a remarkable man, and had a liberal share of theatrical talent, with the advan tage of a manly appearance, and a voice of singular richness and dignity.

The active circulation of notes has been dimi nished, which is not usually the case after the dividend payments, and indicates probably the demand for specie. The withdrawal of other deposits may indicate better employment for capital. The following are the prin cipal features in the return for the week to the 29th ultimo :-- Notes issued 26,261,825 Decrease Rest Increase ... 3,10$ Public Deposits 2,283 ,391 Decrease 37,947 Other Deposits 11,049, 9115 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Increase Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Increase 63,915 Notes Decrease Bullion Decrease Active circulation Decrease It is to be regretted that as regards foreign trade there is still considerable difficulty in negotiating bills drawn upon the Continent, and the consequence is the continued shipment of bullion.

Flight, which came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wigram. VI CE - CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) 1 (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL V. WILSON. Mr. BACON proceeded with his arguments to-day, following Mr. Bethell, in this case, and occupied the Court the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor Wiunam.) MOTT V. TUE LONDO N AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY COM- P G T. His HONOUR gavju d g me n t to-day in this case, which came before the Court a few days back, upon motion for an injunction to restrain the London and Blackwall Railway Company, their servants, workmen, and agents, from making any erecti on , or doing any act, which would have the effect of permanently destroying, injur ing, or rendering impassable so much of a road (near the Bow-road), called Arnold-road, as was delineated on the plan drawn in margin of an agreement, dated the 20th of June, 1845, or so much thereof as extended from the Bow -road to a private road running at the back of the plaintiff's gardens. The case made in support of the motion was, that Mr. Mott had entered into an agreement for a building lease for 99 years of the locus in quo, with the Rev. Mr. Baker and two other gentlemen of the same name; that Messrs. Baker had sold the remainder of the property to the corn patsy; and that th e ra il way company proposed to erect a station, which it was apprehended would entirely cause Arnold•road, by means of which road the plain tiff had access by private entrance to six houses which he had built. The plaintiff alleged that the company (who had purchased the interest of the Messrs Baker) refused to give him a lease, th e effect of which lease would be to make an acknowledg ment and admission of the existence of the Arnold -road. The plaintiff contended that the evidence established the f act o f the ag r e ement for a lease, and that the company were legally bound to perform all the covenants by w hi ch Messrs. Baker were bound, and that the company h a d no power under their Acts, or either of them, to pass over the land in question. Ilia Bououa, after going through the facts of the case, stating that patuhttng a eicarn endetull to el y readus useless the papers, in the ho litigation, stated that he thought o theon stand best cou v r e se to be adopted would be to let the motion defendants undertaking to abide by any order the Court might make), in order that the plaintiff bring mi ltu g tautin such action as he might be advised, the that action admitting that the plaintiff had de tendered for execution a lease in conformity with the agree ment,s except so far as it described the property a bounded by Arnold-road, and that in consequence thereof the defendants had refused to execute the lease. At the suggestion of the counsel for the plaintif f s, The COURT allowed the case to stand over tor a few days, in order that the suggestions of his Honour might be considered, and the matter put in a proper train for trial at law. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in 139.nc0, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE ) LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY C(.IIIPANY V. JUSTICES OF SURREY. Mr. WARRENcEn. moved fur rule calling upon the justices of surrey to show cause why a certiorari should not issue to have the proceedings of an appeal case that had been heard before them brought into this Court to be quashed. The London,Brighton, and SouthCoaetCompany appealed to the Surrey Court of Quarter Sessions against a rate that had been declared by the parish authorities of Croydon, but that company subsequently abandoned the appeal, and in the absence of their representative the case came on at the Court of Quarter Sessions, and was dismissed with 1161. costs. Now, the practice of the Surrey Court of Quarter Sessions was not to grant more than 40s. costs, except where a notice had been given by the other side that an application would be made for costs beyond 405., and as that course had not been followed here, the Company had determined to apply to this Court to quash the order for the payment of costs above 40s. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said it was clear the Justices had authority to award the costs without previous notice, and if the Company did not choose to be present when the appeal came on, it could not be said to be the fault of the Justices. Mr. WARRENGER then urged that the order requiring the Company to pay the costs was informal, inasmuch as it was entitled, Surrey to wit, at a General Court of Quarter Sessions held before our Lady Sovereign the Queen, at St. Mary's, Newington," and did not specify that it was a General Court of Quarter Sessions, in and for the county of Surrey. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE was of opinion that this objec tion could not be sustained, as the context of the order showed beyond all doubt that it was a Court of Quarter Sessions for the County of Surrey. Mr. WARRENGER then urged that the order was bad, in so far as it did not specify what the costs were for, but simply awarded the parish "costs, 1161." Mr. Justice COLERIDGE was of opinion that the term costs 1161, must bo taken and construed in connexion with the other points of the order, specifying that the case arose out of an appeal to a rate, and that the appel lants had neglected to appear. Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THOMPSON V. WESLEYAN NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION. This action, which was tried the other day before Mr. Justice Manic, was brought on two bills of ex change, which were accepted by a person on behalf of the Wesleyan Newspaper Association. There were two issues in the case, one of which was found for the plain tiff and the other for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant TILFOURD now applied to enter for the defendant the issue which had been found for the plaintiff, and which was to the effect that the accept ances' on the bills were not signed by the proper officer appointed on that behalf by the association. The Court granted a rule, and suggested that the subject should again be brought before the Court in the form of a specie! case. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS Mr. Tyler opens his campaign at this delightful sum mer resort on Monday. Yesterday we were favoured with a private view of the gardens, and find, from the many alterations and improvements made, that Mr. Tyler must, during the recess, have been indefatigable in making his preparations for the approaching season. The principal innovation upon the past, at least the one intended to be a fixture—for we must except the view of Rome—is an entirely new orchestra, which is placed much to the east of the spot upon which the old one stood. This edifice is peculiarly chaste in its architec tural character and embellishments. It is well raised, its several parts are admirably balanced, and the light which is diffused from elegant and tastefully modelled chandeliers is so contrived as to assist the general artistic arrangements and give greater effect to its many claims to be considered one of the best constructed edifices for a like purpose which we know of. The exterior of this orchestra is the more worthy of notice from a portion of its embellishments consisting of some fine busts in Portland stone, of the four quarters of the globe and two statues, the one of Venus, the other of Adonis, which were discovered during the removal of an old manor house at Peck ham, and said to have been in the grounds of that edi fice for a period of upwards of two hundred years. The statue of Venus is well worthy the attention of the connoisseur and artist; its details are academic, and in parts severely classic. There is much beauty in the head and great breadth of chisel, while the hands and feet closely adhere to the best and correctest schools. The flesh is pulpy and lite-like withal, and the drapery masterly. The male figure is not so much removed from mere nature;, it borders too closely upon the model, the blemishes of which aro not refined. The site of " Rome," which is painted by Mr. Denson, covers a greater area than usually devote d to similar scenic effects here, the houses in the foreground being as large as ordinary ones. From the Castle of St. Angelo, by the aid of wire ropes some two hundred . feet in l eng th , a living figure of Perseus upo n a cheval v9lant will be made to fly, the horse giving forth . fire with its b reat h during its descent. The whole of the arrangements ap pear to be such that the recollection of no past season, we are led to believe, will be recalled in prejudice to the one to come. • MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT BLACRFRIA.RS BRIDGE. —Yesterday afternoon, three lads, named Edward Wil liams, Joseph Farthing, and John Rees, in the employ ment of Mr. Mott, of Poppin's-court, Fleet-street, hired a boat for the purpose of. having a row on the river. Whilst amus i ng themselves near Watsort's floating-bath. they ran against a barge, and the lads in standing up caused the boat to cant over, and in an instant the three parties were immersed in the river. Boats were imme diately put off to the rescue of the parties. Two of them being expert swimmers, they succeeded in keeping them selves from sinking until such time as they were picked up. The other unfortunate youth, Edward William-4, perished. The Rev. Philip Bliss, D.C.L., late Fellow of St. John's College, Registrar of the University of Oxford, Keeper of the Archives, and Clerk of the Market, has been appointed by his Grace the Chancellor of the University to succeed the Lord Bishop of Hereford, re signed, as Principal of St. Mary's Hall, Oxford. — Church and State Gazette. THE JOB AND POST-MASTERS, coACH PRoPitizioßs', .HORSE DEALERS' AND LIVERY-STABLE KEEPERS' PRUVI. DENT INsTrru The fifth anniv<xsary of this excellent institution way celebrated at the London Tavern last evening. The Hon. P. S. Pierrepont occupied the chair in the unavoidable absence of the Duke of Cambridge, who had promised to preside. Nearly 300 eat down to dinner. Among these present we observed Dr. Dickson, M. Higgins, Esq., Brice Pearce, Esq., J. E. Murdoc, Esq., R. Tattersall, jun., Esq., F. Salmon, Esq., and G. 11. Vandeput, Esq. his Graco the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of March, M.P., who had accepted invitations, were una voidably prevented attending, by a recent domestic affliction. Grace having been sung, The CHAIRMAN, in apologising for the absence of the Duke of Cambridge, said he was afraid they would find him but a poor hack.—(No, no.) Well, ho would do his best to discharge the duties—he would rather call them the pleasures of the evening—to the best of his ability.—(Cheers.) lie then gave the toast of " The Queen," which was received with loud cheers. Her Majesty had a difficult task to perform, for she had to ride a political horse that was rather hard in the mouth—(Laughter)—but he hoped she would ride us safely in her saddle fifty years hence as she did at the . present hour.—(Loud cheers.) He next gave " The Queen Dowager—the Queen of Hearts."—(Loud cheers.) In proposing, " Prosperity to the Institution"—a senti ment which was received with the loudest demonstra tions of applause—he said it would be nine years old in July, and that it must be extremely gratifying to its friends, and to none more than him, to observe its continued prosperity.—(Loud cheers.) Since its establishment 7,5911. ss. 6d. had been invested in the Consols.—(Great cheering.) Considering the state of the times, he thought the condition of the fund afforded great cause for con gratulation: it had increased slowly but steadily, and he had no doubt the time was not far distant when it would rank amongst the most flourishing institutions in the kingdom.—(Loud cheers.) There was not a single charity amongst those with which the metropolis abounded—and what a glorious thing it was that it was so abounded—which possessed a greater claim upon their benevolence.—(Cheers.) It needed no elaborate pane gyric from him to induce them to drink with bumpers, " Prosperity to the Job and Post-masters,' Coach Pro prietors', Horse Dealers', and Livery Stable-keepers' Provident Fund." The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Mr. HlGGiss then proposed the health of the Chair man.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, announced that the Noble President, his Grace the Duke of Richmond would preside at the next anniversary.—(Cheers.) The following toasts were then given—" The Vice- Presidents;" "Mr. Tattersall, the Treasurer" (responded to by his son, Mr. Richard Tattersall, jun., who said his father deeply regretted not being present, as he always doin g looked f orwar d to t h at f est i va l w ith a great deal of pleasure; sure; and he and his father and family were desirous o ) all in th e i r p ower t o promo t e the interests of the instituti on ) ; tions in the cou"rsTehoef th Deacon).

AFTERNOON SIT! ING. At the re-assembling yesterday afternoon, Mr. RANKIN withdrew his amendment, and NAME OF THE ASSEMBLY. Mr. ADAMS moved an amendment upon the motion of Mr. Clarke that the assembly should be called the " Na tional Chartist Association," to the effect—That this Assembly is of opinion that national distinctions are utterly inimical to the principles of universal brother hood, and therefore resolves that the Association now to be formed shall be denominated the " Chartist Confe deration of Great Britain and Ireland," for the immediate enactment of the principles of the People's Charter, and further, that such association shall be so constructed us to give the greatest possible amount of control over the funds contributed by the various localities to the resi dent members, consistent with the existence of a cen tralized organization. Mr. SHERRIN seconded the amendment. Mr. KYDD objected to the alteration of the name, which, he said, was so established in the minds of th e people of England, that every man wou ld cont i nue to call them Chartists, although they termed themselves Demo cratic Confederates. Mr. HENRY said he would as soon have the name of his country changed as the name " Chartist," but he did not think that the amendment of Mr. Adams would have that effect, its object b e i ng mere l y to g i ve the assoc i at i on a more universal designation. Mr. ERNEST JONES opposed tho amendment. Dr. M‘DorrALL said he would sooner die than give up the name of Chartist. Mr. ADIItS observed that they might as well desig nate it " O'Connor's Association" as not change the name, for peopl e now l oo k e d u p on it as id en tifi e d with him. Mr. HARLEY hoped Mr. O'Connor would make his appearance among them, that they might say what they thought of him before his face. He proceeded to make a violent attack upon Mr. O'Connor amidst some dissent and uproar, but was called to order by Mr. M'Grath, who said he would not allow that gentleman's con duct to be vilified during his absence, whereupon Mr. -Harley - - retaliated, by observing that some one had said that they were not disjointed, but he would ask, where were the joints ?

Lord STANLEY rose to move for the production of the correspondence which had been published in the newspapers as a correspondence alleged to have taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Government of Spain, a correspondence of which, he feared, the Government could not deny the authenticity. He should be glad t o h ear what the Government coul d' urge in extenuation of their conduct. The Noble Viscount, to whose management the foreign affairs of this country were entrusted, appeared to be actuated by two motives; first, an exaggerated jealousy of the in fluence of France, and, secondly, a morbid desire of interfering and intermeddling in the affairs of other countries. He (Lord Stanley) did not consider it ad vantageous for the interests of this country, that it should be said that the dismissal of one Minister, or the appointment of another, in foreign countries should be brought about by the direct or by the indirect inter ference of this country.—(Hear, hear.) British influ ence was best upheld by abstaining from interfering with the internal affairs of any country, and more espe cially was that true with regard to Spain, the proudest country in the world. He knew of no interest that this country had, except that other countries should be prosperous. Last session he had objected to the interference which had taken place in Portugal, and subsequent events had convinced him of the correctness of the opinions he had then expressed. He believed that France had had no intention of inter fering, and he thought that England might have pre vented the interference of Spain. In this session they had done nothing but interfere. In Italy they had had Lord Tinto the presiding genius, who was " To ride the whirlwind and direct the storm." He was to be the person to control and moderate the violent spirits of Italy, to prevent the effusion of blood, to watch over the constitutional rights and the growing liberties of Italy, and to take care that those rights and liberties did not overpass the limits which they (her Majesty's Government) in their wisdom had assigned. W hat, however, was the result? Did they believe their influence in Italy had been increased? Could they point to any one part of Italy and say—even if that interference were proper, and it were competent for them to form a judgment of the limits to which Italian liberties ought to be carried—whether they had given to the people and Princes of Italy proofs of their power to calm or direct the storm which had been raised? He believed, and they had been told, that it was not the desire of her Majesty's Govern ment that the kingdom of the Two Sicilies should be separated, at least by civil war. He did not know whether it was material to British in terests that there should be one or two Parliaments in Sicily, or no Parliament at all, yet they had thought fit to interfere, and in the presence of their mediation, and of their Ambassador specially accredited to all the sovereigns or Italy, what had been the result they had obtained? A constitution extorted from the King of Naples, a free and liberal constitution forsooth, of which one of the leading articles, adopted on the me di at i on and with the sanction of a British Minister, was, that within the Neapolitan dominions under this new and liberal Constitution, no religion, ex cept the Roman Catholic religion , shou ld be tolerated. — (Hear, hear.) .Ner was thatli. ; for, in the presence of their Ambassador, the Sicilian 4 engaged in an apparently s uc cess ful peor i e revolted, and war, the last act of which was the deposition ss o u t. civil h eir king. , This was not done, he presumed, by their t advice, but it showed the extent of their influence. At Rome to roam farther—the Noble Lard was not accredited, con stitutional difficulties standing in the way, for the re moval of which, however, they were told two months ago the immediate passing of an Act was necessary— even a week's delay in the removal of those obstacles could not be granted. But some change seemed to have come over the spirit of their dream, for, from that time, ho had heard no more about the Bill which was then so absolutely necessary. But if the Noble Lord had not been accredited to the See of Rome, still it was said their advice and influence were exerted there. But how stood the case? They had thought that there should be no war between Austria and their faithful ally the King of Sardinia, and they had made a declaration to the former power, that any invasion on its part would not be tolerated. He believed, for her Majesty's Go vernment had so stated, that a similar declaration had been made to Sardinia. Yet it did happen that they had a special Ambassador in Italy, armed with all the influence of the British Government—that at that mo ment, and in the presence of their Ambassador, the King of Sardinia, the Pope, and the Grand Duke of Tuscany were actually engaged in an unprovoked invasion of a friendly power. There was the success of their inter vention in purely domestic and internal concerns, And did they believe, that while their advice was slighted in Italy, and their influence had failed in carrying their viers into effect, they had established a feeling in the minds of the people of Italy, that would prove of advantage in their future political transactions with that country ? He believed that the greatest danger with which the peace of Europe could be threatened was, that Austria should temporarily succeed in re-establishing her power over her Milanese dominions, for should she so succeed, it would not be to them, the mediators of the storm, and the rulers and comptrollers of the liberties of Europe; it would not be them to whom the Italian people would have recourse in their strait; but to that Republican France which had not hesitated to declare her sympathy with oppressed nationalities; to her, and not to them, would the Italians turn for aid; and whatever popu larity they might have acquired from the Evvivas ! and overtures of their Ambassador, that popularity would be found as evanescent as the words by which it was ob tained, and would be eclipsed by that of a power which had not hesitated to do wont they 'had shrunk from do itig.—(Elear.) I see in the correspondence to which I am about to call your Lordships attention, a continuance of the same system of inter ference in matters with which they had no concern; and recollecting the pride of the people with whom they had interfered, he thought they .were actually counterworking their own intervention and damaging their legitimate influence, and driving the people into the arms of the very power against whom they were interfering. Such interference was peculiarly obnoxious to a country like Spain. If there was one man possessing mere of the pride and sensitive feelings o f a Spaniard on the subject of foreign intervention and dietation, it was the very Minister to whom the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had thought fit to address that very short and pithy epistle to which he was about to call their attention. Tue Noble Viscount had not thought it necessary to use any circumlocution of language in that epistle, nor to preface the uematid which his Minister was instructed to make by any phrases which might have a tendency to make the subject of the letter appear less discourteous. On the 16th of March, in a letter from the Foreign-office (if that letter were genuine), the Noble Viscount used the following language:—" I have to recommend you to advise the Spanish Government to adopt a legal and constitutional system. The recent downfall of the King of the French and of his family and the expulsion of his Ministers, ought to indicate to the Spanish Court and Government the danger to which they expose themselves in endeavouring to govern a country in a manner opposed to the sentiments and opi nions of the nation; and the catastrophe which has just occurred in France is sufficient to show that even a nu merous and well-disciplied army offers only an insufficient defence to the Crown, when the system followed by it is nut in harmony with the general system of the country. The Queen of Spain would act wisely, in the present critical state of affairs, if she were to strengthen her Executive Government by widening the bases on which the Administration reposes, and in calling to her councils some of the men in whom the Liberal party places confidence." lie knew not what the country might think of that extraordinary production, but the more be read It and the more he considered it, the more at less was he to conceive or imagine what possible view the Noble Viscount had in his mind—what imaginable motive he had in writing it—or what effect, except that which it had actually produced, he co uld have antici p ated fr om it. lie knew not which most to admire, the subject so ipecu liarly domestic in which he had interfered, the argu ments by which hesu pp orted his interference , or th e s couched, by t o ne in which the epistle unveiled even the usual diplomatic paraphrases in which communiea tions f ro m the Foreign - office so generally abounded. If t h e y considered the letter with reference to th e p os i t i on i n which Spain and England at that moment stood, and the position in which the Ministry of Spain and our Secretary for Foreign Affairs stood to one another, there were circumstances which rendered such interfer ence—he was about to say indecent, but at all events unfitting and improper. —(hear, hear.) He must be permitted to carry them back to the period when nego tstions, at that time considered of peculiar imFortance to the interests of Europe, were being carried on with reference to the mar riage of the Queen of Spain. At that period and be fore the Noble Viscount succeeded to the admiaistra tion of the foreign affairs, there were in Spain two parties, the one more or less in the interest of England, the other in the interest of France. At the moment his Noble Friend (the Earl of Aberdeen) quitted the Foreign Cace the most perfect harmony existed between the Goveinments of France and Englund on the subject he had named. He believed if his Noble Friend had continued in office those negotiations would have termi nated to the perfect eatiefaction of both countries; but , unfortunately the Noble Viscount succeeded him, and from that moment (whether it was his fault or his mis fortune), instead of a mutual good understanding be tween the two countries, jealousy and misapprehension took its place. The French Government, whether rightly or wrongly he would not then discuss, were led to believe the Noble Viscount had ulterior objects in view, and was about to depart from the basis of the ar • rangensoat previously agreed upon, and the French l
