rtili LEGAL TITLE ASSURANCE COMPANY. (Provisionally Ileg,istered, January 17, ISO.) Capital, 2,000,00 C/., in 80,000 Shares, of 25/. each. Preliminary Deposit, 2s. Gd. per Share. Tzczpectuses and full information may be obtained at the Tempo :ar,lff,oes of the Company, 13a, Caunon.rcw, Westminster, on ap the open market with perfect impunity, it might not be imprudent for a he wily encumbered debtor to ob tain exemption from the long and cruel imprisonment which the law formerly sanctioned by the sacrifice of a sum which would have gone but a short way in satisfying the demands of his several creditors. Then, indeed, there might have been scme foundation for such a measure. Since the passing of the Re form Bill, and the extinction of the great majority of nomination boroughs, that foundation has been in a great degree, if not altogether, removed, and the in stances have become comparatively rare of persons obtaining seats in Parliament merely as the means of avoiding the payment of their just debts. The law of debtor and creditor has also been mate rially altered. The recent policy has been to extend the remedies against property and to limit the power over the person. Now Members of Parliament possess no peculiar privileges with respect to property—their goods and chattels may be seized under afi.fiz., and sold as readily as those of any private persons ; their freehold estates may be rendered liable for their judgment debts. Their persons are alone protected, and that exemp tion from imprisonment for debt, that protection from arrest, is not conceded for the benefit of them selves, but of those by whom they have been elected. It is the privilege of the constituencies and not of the Members. That privilege has been attacked. In order that half-a-dozen persons in embarrassed circumstances might be excluded from the Home, Parliament has been required to pass a most stringent measure, by which every Member who is unable to satisfy every demand at a moment's notice may be excluded from his seat, and driven into the Insolvent Court. Per sons perfectly solvent, and possessed of large surplus properties beyond the amount of their liabilities, may be subjected to the disgraceful and annoying ordeal. The very fact of their being selected by their fellow-subjects to re present their wants and wishes in Parlia ment might induce political opponents to resort to proceedings under the new law. The natural result would be, that none but those possessed of considerable wealth would be willing to subject themselves to such a contingency. The moneyed interest would attain the same predominance in the House that was formerly exercised by landed pro prietors, and laws would consequently be enacted for their especial benefit, and deeply injurious to the industrious classes. The remedy would indeed prove far worse than the disease it was intended to cure. happier times, had united its destinies to those of Sardinia. While referring to the subject of the violation of the armistice, Lord ABERDEEN alluded to the prolonged stay of the Sardinian squadron in the Venetian waters as a justification of the conduct of Austria in refusing to execute its condition;. But the Sardinian squadron had l ong since taken its departure, yet RADETZICY still kept the batter ing train of Piedmont at Pesehiera. During the course of the discussions, several allusions were made to the notes purporting to be from Prince SCHWA RT ZENBURG, which have appeared in the public papers. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE considered those notes as fabrications, and eloquently denounced the base plotters that could resort to such degrading manoeuvres in order to mislead public opinion. We do not agree with Lord LANSDOWNE in considering these notes as forge ries ; on the contrary, we believe them to be genuine, and we consider their evident mendacity as an addi tional proof that they must have emanated from the Aus trian Chancery. Notwithstanding the denial of Prince SCHWARTZEND unG, it is abundantly clear that Austria in the month of June last proposed to give up posses sion of Lombardy—that fact is abundantly proved, without any reference to the negotiations for a mediation subsequently undertaken in London, by the note addressed in the month of June last by the Austrian Minister, Baron WESSEMBOURG, to the Provisional Government of Milan—a note, the authenticity of which is acknowledged by all parties, and which completely proves that the assertions con tained in the notes of Prince SCRWARTZENBURG are not only without foundation, but are absolutely con trary to the truth. It is to be regretted that Austria did not pursue the same course after the victories of RA DETZKY that she was inclined to pursue before the honour of her armies had been vindicated. The Lombards are now more averse to her rule than they ever were; their friends and relations have been mur dered, their properties have been plundered, and their feelings have been wantonly outraged by RADETZILY and. his Croats, and it is to the hatred ex cited throughout Italy against the Austrian name that we must attribute the deposition of the POPE and of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, whose great crime was the refusal to join the great national movement, and to declare war against Austria. Had CHARLES ALBERT refused to lead the anti-Austrian movement, he must have been sacrificed to it. To lead it was his only chance of safety ; as it is he may fall ; had he hung back he must have fallen. [Since the above was written we have received intelligence of the defeat and abdication of CHARLES ALBERT. The receipt of that intelligence does not render it necessary for us to alter or modify in any manner the opinions which we have expressed ; on the contrary, it affords stronger proof, if stronger proof were wanting, of the utter unfitness for the conduct of public affairs of those who would at such a juncture have recalled the British Minister from Turin.] G.

It is just one week since Lord ABERDEEN, in the course of his elaborate attack upon the policy adopted by Lord PALMERSTON in the affairs of Lombardy and Piedmont, making himself the mouthpiece of Austrian prejudices, Austrian spite, and Austrian absolutism, thought it decent to indulge a virulent and vulgar personal attack upon our ally the King of SARDINIA, and taking the foul-mouthed RADETZKY as his model, he "scolded" (we can find no more appropriate term) at such a rate, and for such a time, that at last his audience became doubtful whether the tongue that thus played the braggart was not rather that of an old woman than of an old man. The lapse of one little week has been sufficient to show the utter want of tact of Lord ABERDEEN and his com plete unfitness for the direction of the foreign policy of this country. Not only did he personally attack that Monarch with whom, should his Lordship ever again be intrusted with the seals of the Foreign-office, he may have to enter into diplomatic relations, but he urged her MAJESTY'S Government to withdraw their Minister from Turin, as a proof of their high disap proval of the conduct of the King of SARDINIA. The intelligence received from Sardinia yesterday proves the utter want of forethought, and of tact, and of common prudence exhibited by Lord ABERDEEN. CHARLES ALBERT has been, it appears, defeated, and the French and British Ministers have pro. ceeded to his camp to urge upon him the necessity of consenting to terms of peace. Under existing circumstances CHARLES ALBERT may probably be inclined to listen to their overtures, and to place himself in their hands, because he feels that they are unprejudiced persons, and will do justice to him as well as to his opponents ; but suppose my Lord ABERDEEN had been in office, could CHARLES ALBERT have safely trusted to his mediation, mould he not have been justified in refusing to listen to all overtures made to him by the British Minister, whom in those circumstances he could not but consider as the agent of his personal enemy—always supposing we had a British Minister at Turin—for it appears to be one of the maxims of Lord ABERDEEN'S policy, in the event of a war beta etn two European Powers, to recal our Minister from the Court of the Power which it pleases his Lordship to consider is in the wrong, and to leave British interests unwatched and British subjects unprotected and exposed to ell the chances of war, because, forsooth, it pleases my Lord ABERDEEN to disapprove—or rather, to be taught to disapprove (for he never yet ventured to form an opinion of his own)—of the diplomatic morality of one of the belligerent parties. The result of the adoption of Lord ABERDEEN'S recommendation would have been the loss of the last chance for the preservation of peace, and the sacrifice of British interests and British property in the north of Italy, and the withdrawal of British protection from all her MAJESTY'S subjects located in that part of Europe. Even if the King of SARDINIA were all that my Lord ABERDEEN would fain have us believe, the conduct of his Lordship would be not one whit the less deficient in that tact which should be to a veteran diplomatist as part of his being ; but is CHARLES ALBERT really the monster he is represented to be by Marshal RA. DETZKY, of whose coarse abuse and exaggerated mis representations my Lord ABERDEEN thought it decent to be the retailer in the British Senate P We think not. With regard to the alleged treachery of CHARLES ABBERT in attacking Lombardy last year, the question lies in a nut-shell. It is averred by the Italian Liberals that their native Princes were com pelled by Austria to exhibit themselves to their sub jects in the light of intolerant despots, that their sway might appear even less eligible than that of their Machiavellic task-masters. An opportunity offered to shake off the degrading yoke and to retaliate upon the oppressor, and CHARLES ALBERT, theinear neighbour of France, and threatened by the advancing movement, preferred to draw his sword against his former tyrant rather than against his own people. The occupiers of Cracow will hardly gainsay the plea of political neces sity ; and whoever witnessed the burst of horror and fury that followed the unprovoked cruelties and brutali ties of RADETZEY at Milan before the insurrection took place, must admit that no human power could have held Piedmont in the leash after those events had once roused the population of Milan. But whatever may be the opinions entertained on these points, it is to the state of affairs as at present existing, rather than to the state of affairs as existing twelve months since, that a statesman who wished fairly to appreciate the present conduct of CHARLES ALBERT should direct his attention. CHARLES ALBER T may have been an ambitious in vader in the year 1848, but the question we have now to consider is, what has been the conduct of Austria with regard to the mediation in 1849 ? For the last two months the Plenipotentiaries of England France, and Sardinia, have been lounging about Brussels, waiting for the presence of the Austrian Minister. Austria, be it remembered, accepted the mediation, with, however, it would now appear the mental reservation of carefully keeping away from the conferences the Austrian Minister, the only man who could give effect to them. He remains in England, raising futile objections to gain time. The game that Austria was playing had long been patent to every one. To exhaust the resources of Piedmont by her own army, and those of Lombardy by the army of RADETZBY, until both countries should be like lifeless bodies at her feet, has been the aim of the successive Governments of Austria since the day teat the armistice was signed. The Pied montese People were perfectly aware of the ob ject Austria had in view, and . urged the KING to renew the war, as the lesser of two evils. The Cabi net of Turin gave way to the wishes of the nation ; and however much we may regret his want of pru dence, it is impossible to deny to CHARLES ALBERT the praise due to a Prince of chivalrous courage, who voluntarily r i s k s hi s lif e and his dominions in an un equal foe, in contest against a gigantic a n d unscru pulous order to to rescue from th e most brutal opp a province which, in nOYAL LYCkUM TIIEA'rgE.

ODILON BARROT addressed the Assembly, and said that he felt it to be his duty at once to declare that the French Govern ment was determined to preserve the integrity of Piedmont. The French journals of yesterday are principally occupied by conjectures as to the probable results of the battle of the 23d between the Piedmontese and Austrians—conjectures which are rendered now of no interest by the official communications made by the President of the Council to the National Assembly. It appears from the accounts in these papers that Austria did not trust to arms alone to secure her success against CHARLES ALBERT, gold also was em ployed, and his own officers were bribed to betray him. The French papers state that a Colonel of Fusileers has been shot for a conspiracy to deliver up CHARLES ALBERT to the Austrians, and that General RAT.IO - who commanded the Lombard division, has been arrested and s h o t i n consequence of the disco very of his having been in treasonable communication with RADETZKT. The Reforme of yesterday states that some mer chants of Genoa had received intelligence that the Russian fleet had passed the Bosphorus. This report, however, needs confirmation. The trials at Bourges appear drawing towards a conclusion. ~. i 4-3 1 tli . V, OP 1 e,..„, ' ' 'V .I :. • .1) 6 .1. 7 (..'" C -Pi `,;: 4 kVtr k`7;N:-.,,,..."'"/"Mj.,7,111 ' • X 4, y t ',. = ' , ..".'

A letter from Toulon, of the 23d inst., in the Con ditutionnel, speaks of the arrival of troops. General GUESWILLER has made Toulon his head-quarters. The ambulance of the first division of the army of the Alps had been fixed there. The steam-frigates in the roads had received stores of all kinds, and eight pieces of siege artillery had been embarked, so that all was ready for departure on the first order from Paris. The POPE is about to create the Archbishop of PARIS a Cardinal. The cholera has been now in Paris for the last twenty-one days. On the 7th inst. the first fatal case occurred. During the next seventeen days, from the 7th to the 23,1 inclusive, 161 deaths took place both in and out of the civil and military hos pitals. In 1832, on the seventeenth day after the first appearance of the epidemy, no less than 7,000 persons died of it. The total number of cases to the 27th inst. is 383, and the deaths 180. The great majority, if not the whole, of these cases were of persons whose constitution had been previously en feebled by disease.

Mr. WTyld has to-day published one of the most rapidly and yet one of the most beautifully executed of his battle sketches. It is moreover one of deplor able interest—representing the sanguinary encounter of the armies under Lord Gough and Shere Singh, between the banks of the Jhelum and the village of Chillianwalla. The situation of the forces before battle is vividly marked—the British in orange, the Seikhs in green; and after battle—the British in red, and the Seikhs in lemon. Every one will find in this admirable sketch a clear delineation of the last of our disastrous victories in the Punjaub ; and the correct ness of the engraving is assured by the circumstance that it is copied from a drawing made in the camp of Chillainwalla on the 29th of January, 1849, by Captain E. Haythorne, of the 98th Regiment, Aide de-Camp to General Campbell—improved with addi tiens by several other officers. N, LONDON, TIPURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1849 GERMANY AND TriE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Rhenish Gazette publishes the following from Hungary : News reached Breslau on the 23d inst. that DEM BINSKI had taken Pesth by assault. GORGEY, who had previously taken possession with his army of the heights of Raab, marches as his advanced guard on Vienna, which DEMBINSKI proposes to occupy very soon. In Bohemia they expect a formidable revolu tionary explosion every moment, particularly on the part of the oppressed peasantry, who are anxious to light up a civil war. Prague has just been declared in a state of siege. This intelligence requires con firmation. ITALY. This intelligence is, we are afraid, too good to be true. The intelligence from Transylvania (intelligence re ceived from Vienna and from Austrian sources) is very cheering. BEM has again completely out manoeuvred his antagonists. After the battle of Mediask PUCHNER imagining that BEM would at tempt to invade the Bukowina, directed all his atten tion towards that district. BEM, however, cleverly turned his flank, and at the head of 12,000 men and with a ,large train of artillery, appeared before Hamannstadt. He immediately assaulted the city, and after a furious battle with the Russians, who were in garrison there, he completely defeated them, got possession of Hermaanstadt, levied large contributions, seized the magazines of ammunition and provisions, and having dismantled the place, evacuated it before PUCIINER could retrace his steps. The bombardment of Comorn still continues, but out of 200 bombs which have been directed against the fortress only one has produced any effect. VIENNA, MARCH 23 . —The Archbishop of GRAN, Prince Primate of Hungary, has placed the sum of. 8,000 guilders at the disposal of Field-Marshal Prince WINDISCUGRATZ, to be appropriated to the good cause of the restoration of legal order and of putting down insurrection. Prince WiNniscsiGakrz has now joined the army which is besieging Comore, where the operations are being carried on with great activity.— Wiener Zeitung. FOKSHCAM, MARCH 9.—Letters from Hermann stadt and Cronstadt assert that the danger of a fresh attack from Hungary upon these cities is happily over, for BEM, on hearing of the victorious approach of Field-Marshal ScHLICB towards Transyl vania, found it necessary to fall back upon Klansenburg. The danger of a hostile invasion into Bukowina is, however, greater than ever. It is strange that the faithful and valiant Romani, as the youthful EMPEROR designates them, constitutes the chief proportion of the population, and have offered to send an army of 200,000 men into the field, have not been armed, nor have their services been accepted. The addresses of homage and the petition of all the Romani of the Austrian empire, as well as the very gracious reply of the EMPEROR, are historical documents which prove the actual senti ments entertained by that portion of his MAJESTY'S subjects.—Allgetneine Zcitung, March 26. PRUSSIA. In the sitting of the Second Chamber on the 2Gth the Government succeeded in carrying the paragraphs of the address relating to German unity. The intelligence from the seat of war, contained in the Italian papers, is deprived of much of its intiaest by the telegraphic dispatch announcing the abdica tion of CHARLES ALBERT, which has been received by the French Government. The Nazione of Turin of the 23d contains the following announcement : " Whilst we write, 10 P at., we are told of the arrival of an estafidte from the camp, announcing that the divi sions of the Duke of Genoa (Piedmont and Pinerolo), and those of General Bos (Acqui and Casale), have fallen upon the enemy, defeated him, and made a great many prisoners. This intelligence is also conveyed to us by a letter we have just received by extraordinary means from 'Vercelli, dated this day, in which it is said that a rumour is current in that town that the Austrians have been beaten on two points." The same journal of the 24th publishes the follow ing official proclamation : " Citizens,—The bulletin of this day informs you of the real situation of the army. The King and the Princes are at Novarra. Our brave soldiers are concen trated there, awaiting the order of their General to at tack the enemy. Do not credit insinuations to the con trary. When other accounts arrive tiny shall be im mediately published. Preserve that sense of security which done can render you worthy of the cause we have to defend. The Government has provi‘ied fur all wants and is prepared to meet every contingency, (Signed) " RATTAZZI, the Minister of the Interior. •"furin, March 23, 1849." The Piednzontese Gazette of the evening of the 24th contains the following official announcement:— "TURIN, MARCH 24, 1 P.M. "We have no news from head-quarters, consequently all the reports current are false. Only the Intendant of Vercelli reports to us, that yesterday a corps of the enemy having approached that town, was forced, altor a fusillade of an hour, to fall back on Palestra. The few troops in,Vercelli have been formed into a provisional battalion, and have surrounded the town to prevent surprise. " The Minister of Interior, RATTAZZI." The Minister at the same time issued the following proclamation to the National Guards : " The military movements of the enemy have carried the war across the Tessin into the ancient territories of the kingdom. Let us have confidence in God and the holiness of our cause, the bravery of our arms, and that of our magnanimous King and his brave sons. But since the theatre of war is in the midst of us, and since a first defeat would be doubly perilous, it imports the more to provide immediately for all eventualities. National Guards, the army is before the enemy, it has already, been engaged with him, and a great battle is shortly ex pected. it belongs to you to support the army should it be overcome by the enemy's forces. Courage, then, and let all true Italians show themselves such. Let all those who respond to the appeal of the Government present themselves in twenty. four hours before the local autho rities, who will send them by detachments to the places appointed by the Government who will supply them with provisions. The appointed places are—Chivassa, Car magnola, Lanslebourg (for the two divisions of Savoy), Vercelli, Alexandria, Novi, and Acqui. There the vo lunteers will be trained to the use of arms, and then sent to the points where their presence may be the most necessary, Soldiers, your day has come 1 You have be fore your eyes the noble example of Hungary. Show that your country is not less beloved by you, and that the virtue of self-sacrifice dwells in the hearts of Italians. Soldiers, the army which exposes its breasts to the Austrian cannon looks to you and expects you " RATTAZZi." The Genoa Gazette of the 23d _instant quotes a letter from Modena of the 19th, stating that the garrison, composed of 700 rnm, was ordered to resist the people, but to retire immediately before a regular Tuscan, Roman, or Piedmontese force. The DUKE had transferred the seat of his govern ment to Brescello. The intelligence from Rome is of the 19th inst. On the preceding day the Minister for Foreign Affairs, RUSCONI deposited on th e ta bl e of the Con stituent Assembly an address signed by some mem bers of the National Assembly. MAZZINI had been chosen to reply to the address. MAzzrm informed the Assembly that he should in five or six days want 5,000,000 francs for urgent purposes, and to hasten the mobilization of the National Guards. The sum was at once voted. The Concordia of Turin states from Naples, of the 16th, that a Ministerial change is expected to take place there, by which SERRA CAPRIOLA would be called to the pretidence of the Council. MONEY and COMMERCIAL .P.IEWt.:;. CITY, QUeIIrIER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales, and the market closed heavily. Prices were without alteration. The sales include 3.000 American at 3 d. to 6d.; 100 Pernams and Maranhams at 511. to 54d.; and 300 Surats at 34d. to 40. per lb.—Railway ' Shure:; were very heavy at lower prices. The advices received from Italy absorb almost undi vided interest, and it must be admitted have excited no surprise. Under this head, we have stated recently, and more than once, the feeling of City men in general, and we explained that whatever were their sympathies for the cause of Italian independ ence. they telt persuaded that the Piodmontese were not sufficiently well handled to give them a chance of suc cess against the Austrians. Next comes, however, the grave question as to what is to be done with Italy? end, in the solution of Ibis, our capi talists and merchants are alike interested. The Danish armistice, it is now generally believed, will be prolonged till April 15, although it is accounted some what singular that no official positive announce. recut of the fact is given. We inferred, how ever, from the letter of the Prussian Consul, dated the 230 instant, that he would not advise the shipowners of his own nation that an armi stice would take place, unless such were the case. The rate of exchange on India has been raised by the company. This is a step that has been expected, as the private exchange was edvarcing. The quotation on Bengal and Madras , is to be ls. 101, and on Bombay ls. 101 d. the Com pany's rupee. The South Sea Company has held its half yearly ge neral court this morning, but nothing of interest has transpired, except that the Company is gradually buying up its own stock, as a favourade investment. The position of the Money Market is satisfactory as respects the amount of cash available for commercial purposes, but there is no apparent probability of the Bank of England making a reduction in its minimum charge at present. We have the beat autho rity for stating that more than one foreign power has been making application for loans to eminent capitalists here, but the overtures have not been entertained, on ac count of the unsettled condition of continental affairs. This does not necessarily imply, however, that, at a favour able opportunity, the matter might not be entertained ; and we see too clearly with what facility the Danish loan was raised, not to be convinced that the same ease may be experienced in accommodating other countries, a course to which we must frankly avow extreme re pugnance. The English Stock market bas been favourably influ enced by the news from abroad, Consols having touched 91f it for Money and 911. 3 for Account. The Bears have been buying back, for with the end of the war in Italy, or even its postponement, and with the renewal of the Danish armistice, their chances of profit are sen sibly diminished, still they have the chapter of accidents yet to rely upon.

H. Solly, Esq., in the chair. The report, which was read by Mr. Thistleton, the secretary, stated that the institution, which was established for the relief of artists' widows and orphans, still continues to receive the pa tronage and liberal support of her Majesty the Queen, and that the committee had great pleasure in being able to allow annuities of 181. each to widows and 51. to or phans. The receipts for the past year, from all sources, including a balance of 681. 14s. 6d. from the previous re port, were 1,2401. Bs. lid. The sum of 5651. had been given to 41 widows, and 1081..155. to orphans; and, after defraying the other expenses of the institution, there remained a balance of 2101. 12s. Bd. The report having been adopted, the court proceeded to the election of officers, when Sir J. E. Swinburne, Bart., Sir M. A. Shee, B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P., Peter Legh, Esq., and A. A. Goldsmid, Esq. were elected members of the council, and after the appointment of a committee and auditors, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—Yesterday evening a public meeting was held at the South London Hall, Black friars•road, for the purpose of adopting a petition for the full, free, and entire representation of the people in Par liament—Mr. J. Grassby in the chair. A letter was read from Mr. C. Pearson, M.P., declining to attend, on the ground that his engagements had already obliged him to refuse to attend a meeting of his own constituents, and apologies were also read from other gentlemen expected to attend. Several gentlemen then addressed the meeting, calling its_ attention to the present unequal and unjust sys:em of property qualification for voters, and submit ting a resolution condemning the animer in which the voice of the people was received within the walls of the House of Commons. It was urged that it was grossly unjust that at the present time nearly 6,000, 000 male, adults had no voic e i n re t urn i ng t h e re pr e sentatives . the people. Th ese 6,000,000 contr ib u t e d totfie maime ot • name of the State, and th e ir only disqualification was their not possessing a certain amount of property to ea title them to vote. Nothing was urged against their in tellectual qualification, in which the great majority of them were at least equal to many Members of Parlia ment, some of whom were individually referred to. These resolutions were agreed to, and the meeting, at which there were from 700 to 800 persons, separated. MONUMENT TO THE LATE MR. MOTHERWELL.-- A meeting of the friends and admirers of this eminent poet was held at Glasgow on the 15th instant, when it was unanimously resolved that a monument, for some time contemplated, should be erected to his memory. We hope to find, says the Glasgow Herald that, through the exertions of the very respectable committee, Glas gow may soon have a suitabl o memor i al erected, in the Necropolis, 141 the resting place of Motherwell. -kLAI ir k g 1, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1849. The Insolvent Members' Bill has been disposed of, at least for the time being. The attempt to im poee new and more stringent tests on the po pular representatives, to abridge the privileges of the several constituencies, has been happily defeated. The Hon. Member for Dartmouth was yesterday compelled to withdraw the measure after a vain at tempt to obtain its re-committal, in order that many extensive alterations might be introduced, which would completely change its character, and render it, if possible, more objectionable than it had previously been. No opportu nity was offered of discussing the merits of the, proposed alterations. It was even stated by the Hon. Member for Northampton, that clauses were proposed to be inserted in the Bill that had been rejected by the Select Committee to which it had been referred. The practice of introducing al most a new measure after a Bill has been considered in Committee is one that should not be sanctioned under any circumstances. Certain preliminary stages must be gone through before the details of any proposed enactment can be considered. It is on, the occasion of the second reading that the principle is to be decided on, and if a new principle be introduced at a later stage it is manifest that one of the constitutional guarantees against hasty or in -:considerate legislation is completely set aside. In the present case the Bill had been three times remodelled --the discussion yesterday was the third, and we re joice to say the last time of asking. Its title had been changed, nay, its very paternity was rendered d - gebtful, the Solicitor-General being by many considered the putative parent of the last bantling, an honour, however, which the Learned Gentleman most earnestly disclaimed. Although the Hon. Member for Dartmouth en deavoured to conceal his chagrin and disappointment by moving for leave to bring in a new Bill on the same subject, permission for which was accordingly granted, we cannot but consider that the fate of the measure has been finally sealed. The general dislike to interfere so extensively with the undoubted pri vileges of the several constituencies was more ap parent yesterday than on any previous occasion. The true character of the proposed enactment was at length perceptible. It was discovered that if passed into law its operation might be much more extensive than had been supposed. It was not merely that additional facilities might have been given to creditors for enforcing payment from a very few persons who made an unworthy use of their Parliamentary privi -I.l'gti—no possibl e o bj ec ti on cou ld h ave b een made if 1114 would have been the only result ; but, as we have already seen,many Members who could not by a possi bility suppose themselves within the meaning of the law, might, and undoubtedly would, have been subjected to ve,xatious litigation. It was stated in the course of the debate, that the shaft was vidual Member. W e pointed agai ns t an indi are, of course, b oun d to give the most implicit credence to the prompt and explicit contradiction of Mr. MOFFATT, who denietddtoheas have not existed was actuated by so unworthy a motive. l however, follow that such feeli ng might not existed in some of those outside the w a ll s of par liament, by whom the measure had been suggested, Ewqrld who hrO stimulated the Hon. Gentleman during its progress: In the olden time, when rotten boroughs prevailed, many persons•undoubtedly found a sanctuary in Par liament from the claims of their creditors. Wherr a seat in tke Legislature could be 'purchased almost in A 04.,/ 11 s FRANKFORT. TIOLL AND. BADEN. A letter from Friburg of the 21st says : —" To. day was the second sitting of the trial of STRUVE and BLIND. The morning was occupied with the de clarations of the two accused parties. STRUVE en larged upon the history of 1848, to prove himself to have been a man of the people, and not to have under taken any open opposition to the monarchy, but to answer a call from several of the people of Baden after the armistice of Malmoe had given the signal for an explosion. He then spoke of the Congress of the Germans at Heidelberg, of the pre paratory Parliament, o f the popular meetings at Offenburg and other points, an d maintained that the plan of holding out the hand of peace towards the republic having become gradually inexecutable, the republican party found itself forced to take up the sword, particularly since the Liberal party had be come divided into a republica n party and a constitu tional party, and that this last had given itself up to reaction. He defended himself against the charges of terrorism, brigandage, &c., directed against the uprising of September, asserting that parts of these accusations were false, that others could not be imputed to him personally, and that others fell upon acts justified by the revolution. BLIND, who is only twenty-two years of age, yesterday ex cited the indignation of the audience, by using the following words :--- I will unmask these gentlemen who wear the crown !' To -day he declared that he was not only a republican, but a democratic and socialist republican. He concluded with some strong expressions against the Chief of the State, which drew upon him a reprimand from the President." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The following letter has been published Royal Prussian General Consulate, London, 106, Fenchurch-street, March 23, 1849. "Dear Sir,—ln compliance with directions just re ceived from his Prussian Majesty's Minister, Chevalier Bunsen, I hasten to inform you that information has reached his Excellency from Berlin, to the effect ' that a prolongation of the armistice is agreed upon between the Central Power of Germany and Den mark, until the 15th April next ; and that the latter power, although it will not officially withdraw the announced blockade, has yet declared i ts i ntent i on that it is not to be acted upon until the 15th April.' I have therefore to request that you will promptly communicate this pleasing intelligence to such of our capt a i ns as may now be, or shall a r rive, within your consular district, and remain, dear Sir, yours very faithfully, " HEDELER. "J. R. Lamb, Ecq., Prussian Vice-Consul, Glasgow." According to the above, actual hostilities will not commence till the 15th of April. The Hanover Zeitung of the 23d says that no offi cial intelligence has been received there respecting the prolongation of the armistice ; but a report is current, that Chevalier BUNSEN has received orders from his Government to sign the last protocol of Lord PALMERSTON, whereby the armistice is pro longed to the 26th of June, under very unfavourable conditions. COPENHAGEN, Marten 21.—The Faedrelandet states that a courier, who arrived yesterday, is the bearer of a proposition to the Government to esta blish a Provisional Government in the duchies, and that the proposition will be accepted—what its nature may be is at present unknown ; but it is probable that the KING will name a new Government for Schles wig, and establish it by force of arms, if the rebels should refuse to agree to it. Should this be true, the resumption of hostilities will not take place at this moment. SCHLESWIG, MARCH 22.—1 t is said that the pro longation of the armistice will be extended to the loth of April. In this event the troops of the empire will not attack Denmark, if the Danes will remain at peace till that time. But the visits that their ves sels are about to make to the ports of Holstein prove sufficiently that the Danish Government is little dis posed to prolong the armistice. A Danish frigate has appeared in the Gulf of Eckenforde even before the expiry of the armistice. The batteries fired upon her, and forced her to retire. TIE MA NSION - HOUSE.—Last evening the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress had the honour of entertain ing at the Mansion -house, Lord and Lady Marcus Hill, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, M.P., and Mrs. Maul(); Ad miral and Lady Emily Dundas, Sir Henry and Lady Hart, Sir William and Lady Burnett, Mr. Hume, M.P., and Mrs. Hume; Mr. Hawes, M.P., and Mrs. Hawes; Lady Park e and Mr. Bruce, Lady ITNaghten, Colonel and Mrs. Brandling, Mr. Chaplin, M.P., and Mrs. Chap lin; Mr. Forster, M.P., and Mrs. Forster; Mr. Bag_ shay, M.P., and Mrs. Bagshaw; Mr. and Mrs. John Travers, bar. Lotman, N1P.,84. Corers were laid for 60. Advices from Frankfort have been received to the 25th. The ARCHDUKE had not succeeded in forming a new Ministry. -- On the 25th, the corps diplomatique at the Hague waited on the King of HOLLAND, when the English Ambassador, in their name, addressed their condo lence to his MAJESTY, and expressed a hope for the prosperity and glory of his reign. The KING replied—. " Gentlemen,—l see with gratitude the attention of the corps diplomatique in waiting on me, under circum stances doubly grave by the death of the King, my father, and by my ascension to the throne. Your congratula tions are naturally modified by grief. I need not tell you how much I share this grief end your just regrets; you are witnesses of the sorrow of the country and the tears of my family. You who know the love of the country for the King, my father, can appreciate the regrets of the country, and our consternation. The friendship of the powers will be one of the best guarantees for the ac complishment of the wishes which you express for the happiness of my reign. In treading in the steps of the King, my father, and supported by the love of the people of the Netherlands, Providence will, I hope, bless my ef furls for the welfare of my country. Gentlemen, I thank you for your noble proceeding in the name of the coun try and in the name of my family." A letter fr om th e H ague o f t h e 24 t h says : " About 2,000 citizens of this capital have resolved to render the last honours to our late KING by accom panying his remains from Tilburg, where his Mx- JPsTr diva, to the royal tomb at Delft, in Siuth Holland. IVILLIAM 11. ordered by his will that his body should not be laid on a bed of state at the Hague, as has been the usage for the Princes of the Royal Family of Holland, but that it should be trans ferred without any pomp from Tilburg, by Rotter dam, to Delft." , •••••-4411e v IRELAND. VICE-CHANCERY. —(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor Kiiicur BRUCE.) IN RE LONGQUESTY'S TRUST. The question involved in this cause had reference to the construction of a will. The wile of the testator made her will in pursuance of permission given to her by her husband, by which she bequeathed 1,000/., part of his property, to her brother and certain of her nephews and nieces. At the foot of the wife's will the husband wrote a note signifying his approval of it. The hus band afterwards made a codicil to his will, in which he referred to the permission he had given to his wife to make a will, and to her having bequeathed 1,0001. to her brother and her nephews and nieces, and then went on to bequeath the sums of 1,200/., and 3001., and 400/., bank annuities, to his executors in trust for his wife. The question was, whether the codicil bad affected the right of the parties to take under the wife's will. Mr. M.A.LINS, on behalf of the petitioner, submitted that the intention of the testator was to give his wife a testamentary power over 1,0001., and that she was the person to fix in what manner the nephews and nieces were to take. His HONOUR said that his impression was that the codicil did net affect th© two wills; but he was quite willing to reconsider his decision on a future application. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor WxcnAiu was oc cupied during the morning in hearing unopposed motions. ,HERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) TERRY V. COCKBURN. This was the only case tried, the others being struck out. The action was to recover the sum of 1,2001. for money lent and interest thereon. It was not stated who the parties were, except that plaintiff was a maiden lady. A portion of the loan had been made so far back as 1842. Defendant suffered judgment to go by default. Some of the jury were of opinion they ought nut to give interest where there was no promise. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that they were entitled to give interest not exceeding 5 per cent., although there was no promise proved. The jury then gave a verdict for 1,2001, and interest for two years at 5 per cent. RICGE V. LOTT& In this case the defendant's attorney appeared to claim costs, a notice of countermand of trial not having been served in due time. The UNDER-SHERIFF said he could not interfere, as no writ was before him. BANK- _RUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLitoyD.) IN RE STACEY'. This bankrupt, described as a law stationer, in Lin. coin's Inn-field, and Blackfriars-road, came up to pass his last examination, which had been adjourned fur better accounts. Ile had been bankrupt in 1844, when his certificate was suspended for two years, and he recommenced busi ness in 1846, before the expiration of the period of suspension. He had also been employed as a railway clerk, at a guinea a day, and had also been concerned as the promoter and director of a company entitled Counties of Kent and Surrey Rarnoneur Association for Sweeping Chimneys. After some discussion the bankrupt was allowed to pass. 1849. The following is the House List of Governors and Directors of the Bank of England for the year en suing: FOR GOVERNORS. Henry Jas.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF GOSFORD. Intelligence reached here this day of the death of the Earl of Gosford, which took place yesterday even ing at Gosford Castle, in the county of Armagh. The deceased Earl was in the 73d year of his age. He is succeeded in his title and estates by Viscount Acheson, now Earl of Gosford. The deceased Earl filled the high post of Governor- General of the Canadas during the reign of his late Majesty King William IV. THE WEATHER. A most unfavourable change has set in here ; this has been quite a winter's day. Several showers of sleet have fallen in the fore noon, with a north-east wind and intense cold. It is feared that the early vegetation will be much injured by this untoward reverse of the genial weather of the last six weeks. CORN AVERAGES.
