'7' I 3 e ATIL LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1849. After several delays, and a considerable amount of expectation, the Message addressed to the national representatives by the PRESIDENT of the French Republic has appeared. Our readers, having been enabled to examine the contents themselves, by its publication in our columns yesterday evening, will now, therefore, be the more capable of appreciating the justice of any opinion pronounced upon its character. _ It must be remembered in the first instance that this important document is one annually required from the Chief Magistrate of French Democracy, in compliance with the 55th Article of the Repub lican Constitution. That a thousand inferences should be drawn from the circumstance that the Message, instead of being delivered in the Tribune, was inserted in the Moniteur, cannot be matter of surprise, considering the fierce animosity raging between the various sec tions of French politicians —an animosity which not unfrequently, and at tempestuous intervals, finds a vent even in the discussions of the Parliament, in furiating the minority to such a pitch of madness, that we have latterly begun to look upon the Moun tain as decidedly Volcanic. As a matter of course, the authorship of the Message has been variously attributed to every one but the Prince-PiEsIDENT. Some whispered that it was the elaborated production of M. TRIERS. o:hers that the original manuscript was in the handwriting of M. MOLE. Others, again, that it was solely attributable to M. BAIIIIOT. Several speaking upon " the mast unquestionable authority," pronounced the whole to be the effusion of two or three of the leading statesmen ; 'while another band of quidnuncs protested that it was the emanation of the whole of the ruling administration collectively. Here , however, to set at rest, at once and for ever, all these ridiculous rumours, is the Message itself bearing upon its every syllable the Lopress of the hand from which it has proceeded, and followed immediately after wards by the statement of the Journal des Debats, that the Message is exclusively written by LOUIS NAPOT.EON. As such, consequently, we accept the Message, and enter dispassionately upon its examination. Not, be it observed, without a plinfal emotion of sympathy for the embarrassments by which the PRESIDENT was sur rounded in its composition. An experience of the reception given to Royal speeches in our own coun - try, and to Presidential Messages in the United States, has long since assurei us that whatever may be said in such speeches or such messages, it is physically, and morally, and politically impossible to satisfy the tastes of the population. If the document is brief—it is superficial. If, on the contrary, it enters at any length into particulars—it is tedious, prolix, and unendurable. If it con tains any calculations—it is a dry sum in arithmetic, a dull inventory of receipts and expenditure. If, on the other hand, no statistics whatever are given, every assertion in al lusion to the Exchequer is gainsayed, every statement as to the fiscal or financial prospects is treated as hy pothetical. So in fact it has already proved with the Message transmitted to the Legislative Assembly from the Elysee National. Scarcely one of our Parisian contemporaries but has some objection or other to make to the document. One condemns it as a disingenuous effort to gloze over the position of the country. Another assails it as a dangerous ex aggeration of the difficulties accumulated round the Republic. This one cries out with insatiable curiosity that there is not enough of it. That, with a manner expressive of the utter exhaustion of his attention, insists there is a vast deal too much. Here is a legitimist at white heat calling aloud because the PRESIDENT has committed himself definitively to the cause of Republicanism. Here again is a red hot ultra yelling with indignation because the Message is not by any means sufficiently democrat — for him ! And so the unfortunate document, pre pared with so much conscientious and patriotic deliberation, gets torn to very rags and tatters almost before the paper is dried from the printing ! All these things confirm us in the opinion formed by ourselves after a calm and unimpassioned perusal of the M essage of the French PRESIDENT to the French Representatives—an opinion that, altogether, the document is as honest and rational in matter as its manner is simple, lucid, and straightforward. As far as our judgment will enable us to arrive at any definite conclusion, it certainly appears to us that the object of the Message is in this initial effort, fully and boldly realised. What is that object? Plainly this—to lay before the National Legislature annually an account of the actual position of the country, an ac count of its position internally and externally, of its agricultural position, of its financial position, of its administrative position, of its position in regard to the encouragement of education, the repression of crime, the development of legislative improvements, the extension of commerce, and the stabilitation of the existing institutions, of its position as to its naval and military resources, and of its position as to its foreign relations. Now this is precisely the sub stance of the Message just issued by the President Lours NAroLtore from his palace of the Elysee National. That Message, as far as we can compre hend a series of very comprehensible statements, is an exact and careful delineation of the situation of France in all these particulars. It presents a vivid picture of the state of the country both abroad and at borne ; a narrative of the immense dangers and difficulties which have been surmounted, and a judicious warning as to those other dangers and diffi culties which yet remain to be overcome. Beyond this, the First Message of the First PRESIDENT of the French Republic is prefaced by a reiteration of the guarantees already given by him of the truth of his patriotism, and of the sincerity of his adhesion to the cause of Democracy. In this renewed declara tion of his loyalty to the popular ambition, the Prince-PRESIDENT again proclaims his resolve— " To defend society, audaciously attacked ; " To strengthen a Republic, prudent, great, and honest ; -• • - - " To protect family ties, religion, property ; " To cause all possible ameliorations and economy ; " To protect the press against arbitrary power and license ; " To diminish the abuses of centralization ; 6 ".r0 efface the traces of our civil discords ; " Finally, to adopt abroad a policy without arrogance and without weakness." That is tha formula of his religion of govern ment. That is the profession of his political faith. Those are the axioms embodying the principles upon which a BONAPARTE determines to realise that Democratic Liberty which the BONAPARTE defended under the armour of Imperial despotism. That the French PRESIDENT dilates at such length upon the financial embarrassments of the country is only an additional testimony that he has read the history of that country correctly. He has seen that the cause of her successive Revolutions has been the financial involvement of France, a financial involvement tottering down at intervals to the brink of national bankruptcy. From the time when the portfolio of finance was intrusted successively to TURGOT, to CALONNIS, and to NncKER, down to its passage through the hands of GARNIER PAGES, of GOUDCHAUX, and of PASSY, deficit—deficit—deficit-- has been the difficulty of France. Hence the PRESIDENT insists so pertinaciously and ear nestly that the conquest of that paramount difficulty must be the first and foremost of all the achieve ments of the Republican Government. Of the Republican Government ! Let it be remembered when that difficulty shall at length be overcome — which with GoD's blessing it will !—let it not be forgotten then that while the Republican Govern ment shall have cut down and uprooted the Upas of France, that Upas grew up from a seedling to a vast and umbrageous magnitude, shedding around its deadly and poisonous influence under the evil reign of Royalty ! History proclaims this as plainly as she proclaims that under the glorious sway of the Emperor NAPOLEON, in spite of the enormous expenditure required in the prosecution of his wars with all the nations of Europe, France was for twelve years in a more flourishing condition than she has been in for centuries. And yet while this legacy of debt to France from Royalty is notorious to every man in Christendom, the reactionists attribute as a crime to the last Revo lution that it entailed an expenditure of 10,600,000/. As well might we charge the statesmen of February with the bloody civil battle in June, that diabolical insurrection of anarchists to whom we might have cried out, in the language of HORACE, Quo, quo selesti ruitis? aut cur dcxteris Aptantur enses conditi?" Both the blood and the increase of debt which have followed the days of February, falling like coals of inextinguishable fire upon the bead of the das tard exile at Claremont ! No ; if the Re public of France is to attain a state of pros perity it will be in spite of the tremendous in cubus in the shape of deficit bequeathed to her by Royalty. This is felt, and felt acutely by the First PRESIDENT of the Republic ; and it is in consequence of this that his inaugurative Message is little else than an argument addressed to the national representatives in favour of some grand financial innovations. I RETURN OF TEE COURT FR l O b lU ert 7 pa l a N c D co S m OßC ni A e S d y TL b E. —Her Majesty and Prince Albert, their illustrious children, and attended by their suite, arrived at Buckingham Palace this afternoon, from Windsor Castle. The Royal cortege consisted of five carriages, and was escorted from the Paddington t er minus by a party of the 11th Hussars. Her Ma jesty will hold a Chapter of the Order of the Bath on Monday next, at which it is expected Sir George Grey, Sir Charles Hotham, and other Knights, will be invested with the Order. MANSION-HOUSE, JUNE 7.—The Lord Mayor begs to announce that, iu consequence of her Majesty's ball en Wednesday next, the dinner which was to have taken place on that day in the Egyptian-hall is postponed until Saturday, the 23d inst. The Drury-lane Theatrical Fund will celebrate its anniversary festival on Monday next, at Freemasons' Great Queen-street, on which occasion his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, wi h his accustomed iinevelence, will take the chair, supported on either hand by the Duke of Beaufort, the Marquis of Clan ricerde, and a host of influential vice-presidents. The musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr. Stern dale Bennett, are of the most extensive kind, and will be contributed to by the following distinguished art;stes, who have kindly volunteered their services:—Herr Karl Formes, Herr Pischek, klerr Human Muller, Herr Bahrtd, Mi ssrs.

A solo on the concertina will be per formed by Mr. Sedgwick. DISTRESS IN IRELAND.—Yesterday was published a series of iurther papers relative to the aid afforded to the distressed unions in the west of Ireland, in continua tion of the papers presented on the Bth of May last. These papers occupy a apace of 50 pages. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Message of the PRESIDENT 13 of course corn. mented on in all of them, but is approved of by none save and except the Debuts and the Constitutionnel, the former of which announces that it was M. Louis BONAPARTE himself who wrote this official docu ment. The National is as might have been expected greatly displeased with the Message. It says— " We expected little from the Message; and what have we found in it? Absolutely nothing. It is an ill-ar ranges, vague, acd confused production, in which the most important questions are carefully glossed over; it speaks at length on what every one know s, and is silent on those subjects on which every one was desirous that it should speak. It is a retrospective junction of shreds taken from the Moniteur as to the state of the customs and other statistics, and very clumsily sewn together, unus et alter assuitur pannus. Not one original idea, without ensemble, and without any plan for the future. Of great problems of government at home, what does it contain? Nothing. Of action abroad? Nothing, ex cept a few ambitious and empty words. In fact, it contains nothing, or next to nothing, re lative to Italy, Germany, Hungary, the Dunubian provinces; nothing of our alliances; nothing of the conduct which we are to observe :towards other powers. A speech from the throne could not have been better arranged. Of all the reforms to be realised at home, nothing is said more than was done under the last regime. In a word it is a programme of weakness, and a programme of weakness is a prelude to revolu tion." The Presse considers the Message as a very milk and-water affair, and accuses the PRESIDENT of having abandoned his old principles, and the Credit and the Siecle, the two journals which are generally considered to be under the control of M. DUFAURE, are even more severe upon the PRESIDENT than is the National itself. The Credit, in allusion to the language of the Message on the subject of Rome, which it stigmatises as wilfully ambiguous, and to the rumours which were yesterday rife in Paris, that the PRESIDENT, acting under the influence of M. DE FALLOUX, had given orders to OUDINOT to attack Rome at once in violation of the armistice, says— "We broadly affirm that the Minister, or that the Cabinet who would give such an order without consult ing the Assembly, and who would dare to compromise the honour, the fortune, and the blood of France with out the authorisation of the representatives of the people—who should rashly excite the passions of the country and of Europe, and light the flame of civil and foreign war, we declare that a Minister, or a Cabi net, so imprudent, so audacious, and so false would de serve to be at once impeached and tried with the utmost severity." The Message as published in the iiloniteur differs from that published in the other papers in a most essential point. In speaking of the resistance offered to General OUDINOT by the Romans, the Message as published in the Moniteur says—" This unexpected struggle, without making any change in the final aim of our enterprise, has paralysed our beneficent intentions, and rendered abortive the efforts of our negotiations." The message as published in the other journals, has, after the words " beneficent intentions," the following passage : — l ° Completely altered the state of the question, so that now it is only in Rome that it can be resolved in a manner consistent with the honour of France." This latter version was the one originally laid on the table of the Assembly, but the PRESIDENT subsequently altered it as it appeared to explain somewhat tco clearly his in tentions with regard to Rome. The interpellations which were to have been addressed to the Government on Thursday on the subject of foreign affairs, have been postponed to Monday, in consequence of the illness of M. LEDRU ROLLIN. It was said that the Government had yesterday received a telegraphic dispatch, announcing that General OUDINOT had commenced his attack on Rome on the 2d, and that at the time the dispatch was sent off he was in pos session of the whole Trasteven quarter of the city, including the Vatican and St. Peter's, and that he was negotiating with the Consti tuent Assembly for the surrender of the remaining portions of the city. The French admit that they lost 150 men killed in this attack, which it appears was commenced by General OUDINOT, in di rect violation of the treaty entered into by M. LES SEPS with the Roman Republic, which, it will be seen, was in direct uniformity with the resolution of the 7th May of the National Assembly. The following is a copy of the treaty signed by M. de LESSEPS, and repudiated by General OUDINOT : " Art. 1. The support of France is insured to the po pulation of the Roman States; they consider the French army as a friendly army which comes to assist in the defence of their territory. " Art. 2. In accordance with the Roman Government, and without mixing in the administration of the country, the French army will take its exterior cantonments which are convenient, at the same time, for the defence of the country, and for the salubrity of the troops. " Art. 3. The French Republic guarantees against all foreign invasion the territory occupied by its troops. " Art. 4. It is understood that the present arrango meat must be submitted to the ratification of the French Republic. Art. 5. In - any case, the effects of this treaty cannot cease till 15 days after the official communication of the non. ratification. " Done in double at Rome, and at the head-quarters of the French army, the 31st of May, eight P.M. (Signed) " C. AIuaELLINI. A. ►SAFFI. G. MAZZINI. " Ferdinand de L2sseps, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic in Mission." General OUDINOT addressed the following letter to the Triumvirs : " Messieurs le Triumvirs,—l have the honour of making known to you that I accepted for my part the ultimatum which was transmitted to you on the 29th of this month by M. de Lesseps. To my great astonishment, M. Lesseps brings me, on his return from Rome, a sort of Convention in com. plete opposition with the spirit and base of the ultimatum. I am convinced that in signing it, M. de Lesseps has ex ceeded his powers. " The instructions I have received formally interdict me from associating myself with this last act. I con sider it as non avenue ; and it is my duty to declare this to you without delay. " OUDINOT DE REGGIO, the General Commanding in-Chief the Expeditionary Corps of the Mediter ranean." The General, at the same time, sent the following letter to M. LESSEPS " Monsieur le Ministre Plenipotentiaire —You have, since the 17th of this month, paralysed all the move ments of the corps under my command. "You demanded of me that the truce, promised ver bally by you to the Roman troops, should be extended until an answer had been received to the dispatches you had forwarded to our Government. Although I consi dered such a delay as very prejudicial to my military operations, I nevertheless consented, in order to avoid the appearance of any difference of opinion existing be tween us. Since that period the Roman troops have been moving about wherever they thought it their interest so to do. I have, on the contrary, confined my operations within the part of the country having Civita Vecchia as its basis. You, on the 29th, proposed an ultimatum, the terms of which I accepted, although certain of its stipu lations did not give me entire satisfaction._ . . "During the day you wrote me from Rome, that in every probability that ultimatum would be accepted that very evening ; and that, contrary to what I ex pected, you had signed conventions with the Roman Republic to which you hoped I would also affix my signature. " These conventions are in formal opposition to the instructions which I have received. I also believe them to be contrary to the wishes of my Government ; I ?IA only shall not give my assent to them, but I shall regard them as null and void, and I have declared as much to the Roman authorities. When the Government has sig nified its reply to the dispatches forwarded to it I shall scrupulously obey its instructions ; but in the mean time I regret to say that it will be impossible for me to act any more in concert with you. (Signed) " OUDINOT." M. DL LESSEPS is so disgusted with the manner in which he has been bamboozled by the French Cabinet in this affair, that he has retired altogether from diplomatic life. _ _ _ iee A g l e ar iu sh i a u l e ß x U tr G e E m A e U D d a h n a g s e r. had a relapse of cholera, and The following notice from the Board of Health at " Since the sudden . the Prefecture of Police has been posted up : t c h , e ons e e h q o u l e e n ri c c o intensity. reco has resumed a neewunc,which was eopfidthe reigning has not the gravity m a t l il d ance of the unusual heats . e to itsebnysibthlye public.

Such is the question which should be (Lily addressed to our brothers of the faculty, and which hes frequently been addressed to us during the last few days. We shall say only that cold baths are not forbidden; but we know that several of our brethren, whose opinion is of autho rity, participate in our view of this matter, and do not hesitate, not only not to prevent the use of bathing in the river, but even prescribe it as a preservative. We know that, under the advice of the medical officers; several regiments quartered in Peri.; take river baths, and that the use of this means has been found worthy of approval.Thecholera is making fearful progress in Paris.

It is said that the Hessian troops have occupied Wernheim, from which they have expelled the in surgents. The Gazette des Pastes, of June sth, says—" Co ercive measures have been commenced this day against the insurgents of Baden, and it is hoped to obtain a decisive result, particularly as the great mass of the people are tired of being led by the revolutionary party. The province of Rhenish Hesse is occupied by Prussian troops. Troops belonging to Electoral Hesse, Grand Ducal Hesse, Nassau, and Mecklenburg, have marched against Mannheim and Heidelberg. Austrian forces arrived some days since at Landlau, and Bavarian troops at Meiningen." WURTEMBURG. In the Chamber of Deputies at Stutgardt on the sth instant M.

The Berlin Constitutionnel publishes the following particulars concerning the Russian army of inter vention : "Up to the present day (June 1) the troops upon the right flank (Russian), which is united with the left flank (Austrian w;rig) by Hradisch, and thence to Tyrnau. does not exceed 15,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry, and 48 field pieces. A corps of 36,000 infantry. 7,000 cavalry, and 96 field-pieces, which debouched by Cracow, is con centrating near Tardenow, on the Skawa (one of the passes into Hungary frern Gallicia). A corps of 40,000 men, of which 6,000 are cavalry, with 104 field-pieces, have advanced by Brody and Lemberg, upon the Carpa thian passes, leading to Kashs,u and Eperies. Neither of the two last-mentioned corps had, up to the latest accounts, penetrated into Hungary. Their advances, consisting of Cossack; are pushed up to the passes, with orders to avoid partial encounters. In the course of this week the second, third, and fourth corps will follow; thus making a total of 160,000 men, with 320 field-pieces, ex clusive of the grand rear ryes and communi cating detachments, intended to act either in combination with the Austrian army, or indepen dently upon the right flank of the Hungarians. A corps d'almee, of from forty to fifty thousand men, is advanc ing upon Transylvania, and will thus prevent Bern from assisting the main body of Hungarians on the right bank of the Theiss. Ttde operation will enable Puchner to manoeuvre in the direction of Te meswar. The Ist Russian army corps is concen trated round Kalisch, watching the Prussian-Posen frontier ; whilst the corps of grenadiers, commanded by the Grand Duke Michel, is steadily advancing upon Warsaw. The guards, under the Czarowiteb, have left Petersburgh, and are moving down in the direction of the frontier. The total force put in movement, and destined to take an immediate share in the operations, may be calcu!ated at 200,000 infantry, 30,000 cavalry, and upward.), of 450 field pieces. The grand point of concentration is, and will be, War saw, where immense depots and magazines of am munition and military stores of all kinds are collected, and will be daily augmented. Similar depots are being formed at Cracow and at Ternow. The half-ruined palace of Kasinair the Great, about three miles distant from Cracow, is converted into a powder magazine, where enormous quantities of powder, projectiles, and cartridges have already arrived. The churches and convents of the vicinity are likewise converted into ma gazines for c mimissariat stores, of which immense quantities, such as flour, rye, oats, and biscuit, arrive hourly, either by rail or ordinary land carriage. It is calculated that the daily arrivals exceed 7,000 cwt. Magazines to an extent exceeding all ordinary belief, and such only as Russia can bring together, will be esta blished at Cracow. The hospital preparations are upon the same immense scale. The great nunneries of Swier cy 6 .6:s and Wy zkli, with the Carmelite a n d F ranc i scan officers ui s a i t r e e , fo r activelythe reception of from 2,000 engaged in providi ng every p monasteries, have been converted into h osp it a l s ; w hil e theme to 3,000 sick or wounded. Hospitals are a l so p re p ar i ng in all the great Gallician towns. The 2,1 corps d'urme d o i s c s a i l ble requisite, (28,000 men) will pass by Cracow to-morrow or next day. The corps march in masses, and either bivouac or occupy contiguous cantonments. Nothing is decided as to the exact period when the Russian corps will make their simultaneous entry into Hungary. This opera tion cannot commence until the whole of the concentra tions have been effected, the reserves arrived at their destination, and the magazines complete, especially those of the artillery, reckoned at a minimum of 500 rounds per gun. When those operations commence, they will take place simultaneously by Hradisch, Jablunka, and Jardanow en the right; by Seypush- Neumarkt and Dukba on the centre; and by the passes into Transylvania on the left. But so strictly secret are all plans and projects maintained, that the Russian Generals themselves receive sealed orders not extending beyond two or three days' op erat i ons . Th e whole of the corps are admirably equipped, and in the most effective state for field duty. The infantry, sun burnt soldier-like looking men, are all good-sized, and perfectly, though somewhat heavily, clothed and armed. The Prussian helmet has been adopted. The artillery is remarkably for its efficiency and rapid manoeuvring. This force, as well as the cavalry, is beautifully horsed, and in a state of discipline and martial steadi ness not to be surpassed. The twelve-pounder batteries, drawn by eight horses, move with the celerity of the ordinary sixes. In short, the whole of the troops, horse and foot, may be taken as military models, and afford striking proofs of the talents of the Minister of War, Prince Czsrnichef, for military organi zation. The Russian troops appear to have progressed a century since the close of the last war. Nothing can exceed the perfection and regularity of the discipline, or the soldierlike appearance of the men even when offduty. With few exceptions they are old soldiers, accustomed to long marches,: to carry heavy loads, and to a diet at which, perhaps, delicate stomachs might feel squeamish. Their clothing is excellent and well fitted, and their large great coats most useful, though perhaps cumber some. The greater part, however, are still armed with flint lock muskets. The formations are nearly as fol lows :—An army corps consist of 12 regiments ot two bat talion (each of 1,000 men), 36 squadrons (150 sabres each), 12 batteries (8 guns each), a battalion of rifles, a battalicn of sappers, and a pontoon train; forming a total of 26,000 infantry, 5,000 sabres, and about 2,000 artil lery, or a grand total of from 32,000 to 33,000 men. The reserves are composed of the 3d and 4th battalion of each infantry, and the sth and 6th squadron of each cavalry regiment. The troops carry with them three days' biscuit or meal in their havresacks, and four more days follow in the rear. The latter is replenished, so as to keep up the full amount of the first as fast as it is consumed. Taking the whole as a grand military force, it cannot be surpassed for efficiency, readiness, and independent utility. The honour of having established this efficiently must be. divided between Prince Czer nichef and the Emperor. The most perfect cordiality exists between the Russian and Austrian soldiers of all ranks, from high to low. There is not a word of truth in the reports circulated of engagements between the Russians and Hungarians. Up to a recent day such encounters have been impossible, as the respective ad vanced guards have n.t come in sight of each other, unless it may have been a few patrols of Cossack; or dered to feel the ground." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—At the sitting of the Cham ber of Representatives, held yesterday, the Mi n i s t er of the I n t er b r presented a Bill fiz granting an extra ordinary loan to the department of the Interior, in order to facilitat e th e nat i ona l wor k s . Thi s pro j ect gave rise to a long discussion, and the Minister being called upon to specify the objects to which this sum should be assigned, gave in the following state ment . coi l n . m E er n e c e r 2 7g: 03 TX to manufactures and to assist 2.Agiicultu ra l i mprovem(nts an d na ti ona l colo nisation, 350,000 f. 3.

The first article of this project of law occupied the Chamber this day. Tl:e central section has granted only 400,000 F., and 100,000 f. additional for the agri cultural roads. Tin KING and QUEEN, accompanied by two Aides de•Camp, have visited the Duchess of Baden at the British hotel. In the evening there was a grand Court dinner, at which the Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg Kohary, the Duchess of Baden, and her eldest son, the Hereditary Grand Duke, and a great number of the Nobility were present. ITALY. The 11Ionitore Romano of the 29th, states that Ge neral GARIBALDI, after having reconnoitred the Neapolitan frontier as far as the Rocca d'Arce, and obtained the certainty that the enemy was not to be met with, has entered the Roman States again. Commissary STABINI, in a proclamation to the inha bitants of the Province of Carnpagna, announces that a sufficient force shall remain in the province to protect it. The POPE, it is said, will leave Gaeta, and accom pany the Grand Duke of TUSCANY to Florence from whence he will proceed to Bologna, where he will establish himself under the protection of Austria. Ii Risorgimento, of Turin, of the 4•h, says, news was received at Florence on the Ist, that after two days' hard fighting Ancona had surrendered to the Austrians. The Jklilan Gazette of the 3d, however, though alluding to Ancona, makes no mention of its having surrendered. The Concordia of Turin, of the 4th inst., calls on the Piedmontese Government immediately to summon the Parliament. Piedmont (it says) is in danger. Great events are about to occur in Europe. A struggle between opposing principles is imminent. France is on the side of liberty—Austria on that of despotism. Sardinia must attach herself to one or the other. Let Parliament, then, be immediately convoked. The Minister of Foreign Affairs at Turin has officially contradicted the news giv-en by the Opinione, that Austria had demanded that certain fortresses on the French territory, and even those of Genoa, should be delivered up to her. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, 3,000 to 4,000 being takes on speculation. The market was quieter, but holders were firm. The Share Market was firm, but without alteration in prices. The payment of duties and other imposts into the ac count of the National Exchequer at the Bank of Eng land, still occasions not only an increase of public deposits, but a decrease of private balances. It acts likewise upon the note circulation, which finds no com pensation from an extension of loans on other securities. A comparison between the return of the Bank of England liabilities and assets for the week to the 2d inst. and the previous statement gives the following results:— Notes Issued ... ••• ... 27,553,565 Increase ... ~, 53,430 Rest ... ... ~. ... 3,103,586 Decrease ... ... ... 48016 Public Deposits ... ••• ... 5,640,619 Increase ... ... ... 269,764 Other Peposits ... ... 9,707,778 Decrease ... ... ... 47,222 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,075,985 Decrease • . ••• ... 34,347 Government Securities ...

QUEEN'S BEN CI - 1.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE BAPTIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY. This was an appeal from an order of Quarter Sessions, at the instance of the Baptist Missionary Society, re specting the rating of their house in Moorgate-street. It was an appeal against the payment of sewer and other 'rates, for which the Quarter SestLions had held it liable, on the ground that it was a charitable institu tion, and ought, in conformity with the Act of Parlia ment relating to such institutions, to be free from aoy such imposts. The COURT this morning affirmed the decision of the court below. The institution did not come within the category of those excepted from the payment of rates. Decision affirmed. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Dennis Healy, charged with assisting in the escape of Hickey, who stabbed the recruit M‘Macarthy, in Ox ford-street, on Thursday, was again brought up before Mr. Jardine. A man named Daniel Cleary, who saw the whole of the fight, and took bl'Carthy away, and another Irish man, who was potman in the public-house where the row commenced, were examined as to their previous statements to the police-constable respecting the pri soner's having changed his clothes with Hickey; but they both denied all knowledge of the change, and fur ther swore that they did not know of any acquaintance between Hickey and the prisoner. The MAGISTRATE was surprised that of so many wit nesses who knew the facts he could not find one to tell the truth in so serious a case; but they should not obtain their end, and ho would detain the prisoner in custody. Policeman E 99, who took Healy into custody, swore that he saw him go into a public-house in New Oxford street, followed by a great crowd of people. He went into the house in two or three minutes, and seeing the prisoner in a changed dress, surrounded by a mob of people, he took him to the station-house, upon the sus picion that something unusual was the matter. On the way he learned that Hickey had stabbed a man, and that Healy gave him his clothes to facilitate his escape. None of those who said so came forward. A sergeant-major of the Bengal Artillery in which AlCarthy was enlisted, stated that be was still in a danger,,us state. The inpector of police hoped to establish the charge if further time were given, and also to find Hickey.—Th o prisoner was again remanded.

ANN'S SOCIETY.-- Yesterday the annual congregation of the boys educated in the Royal Asylum of St. Ann's Society, for the maintenance, clothing, and education of the children of those " once in prosperity, orphans or not, of all nations," was held in the boys' school-room of the institution, at Streatham, the Bishop of Norw ch in the chair. Up wards of two hundred visitors, chiefly ladies, attended. Lord Robert Grosvenor, and other influential indivi duals, were also present. The Right Rev. Chairman, at considerable length, addressed the meeting upon the excellence of the institution, and the blessings of educa tion, which he was most happy to see so universally extending, and which he hoped would be still more sup ported by the Government and the country at large, without reference to sectarian limitation, or any religious prejudice whatever. Ilia Lordship then proceeded to dispense the several prizes awarded to those youths who had been educated in the school, and who, up to the pre sent time, had maintained their characters for industry, honesty, and perseverance in their several callings.

In a h , ,use in Mary Ana-street, a lodging-house keeper turned out to his back 3 and a niece of his, with whom she lodged, and allowed hPr to perish in the place. lie very coolly went to the relieving officer to get the body burled. Another old woman, in Vachell's,cout t, was put into a coahhole, where she suf fered the agonies of cholera without help, until the surgeon accidentally rescued her. A female, complain• ing that her husband was ill of cholera, asked relief of a surgeon in ercckhet blown. She was given some mod e . eine and 3d. to purch ase mustard to - poultice her hus band's feet. The relieving ( fLer called in a couple of hours afterwards, and found that the wretch had not given the medicine to her hu4tand, and had spent the money before she roached home. Another wife drank 3s. wo-th of brandy, which had been ordered for the use of h :r husband, after he had died.—The Principality, LITERATURE. 111ACTIIAIL'S EDINBURGH JOURNAL: The carr(nt number of 111a;;71arts Journal is unquestionably the best that has yet come under our observation. The careful analysis of Macaulay's Ili,tory is brought to a conclusion ; and the contri butions op:, , n with an admirable paper on the " Ca lamities of Genius." From this article we quote the f most. truthful and excellent remarks about the absurd fable respecting Galileo's imprisonment in the dungeons of the Inquisition. The scorn with which this lying fiction is confuted by the Journal is not the less entitled to consideration seeing that the organ is Protestant : " Tlie popular history of the fortunes of Galileo is one great mass of falsehood, but it serves a purpose, and will, to the end of time, keep its ground. Whenever an quack comes forward to bespeak public sympathy with the morstrositiee of phrenology or mesmerism, he begins his discourse kith the fabulous tale of Galileo's dungeon, in order to warn the world against the crime of persecuting new doctrines. The dungeon has no phce in authentic history, and all the annoyance that Galileo received he appears to have owed to his own temper, which delighted in the excitement of a little persecution. The restraint placed upon.- him by his friends and admirers was confinement to palaces and gardens of his own choosing, with wines of his own se lection, and the company and honour of the great. The doctrine of the motion of the earth was, before his day, taught by the mild and amiable Copernicus, with the ap probation of many of the clergy. But Gatiho did not seek to disarm, but studiously courted hostility,. Some accounts bear, that Galileo in his old age was p o or, but this poverty is undoubtedly spoken of comparatively with the general splendour in which he had lived, as it is certain that he left property behind him. Most men of genius would be glad to pass thr oug h th e wor ld_ with as little real ground of complaint against it as Galileo had; it was his own blame that he had any complaint. In this nineteenth century, should any philosopher pro pose a doctrine equally startling to the present as the doctrine which Galileo proclaimed was to his age, we would advise him, if he wish to avoid rather more serious persecution than Galileo endured, to cultivate the Christian temper and prudence of Copernicus rather than indulge in the proud combativeness of Galileo." The lecture upon " Shakspere," by Mr. George Gilfillan, is like the rest of his compositions, an elo quent eccentricity—filled with many absurd and beautiful ideas. He says of the mighty poet, very finely, that he is among us " like an unseen ghost," exercising an extraordinary power over our thoughts, language, imaginations, tempers, tastes, and manners. He calls him in a sudden burst of homage "the eighth wonder of the world." He exclaims front . the fullness of his admiration—" That Shakspere is the greatest genius the world ever saw is ac knowledged now by all sane men,"—and "that Shakspere is out of all sight and measure the finest artist that ever constructed a poem or drama, is a less general and yet a growing belief." Speak ing of the dramatic productions of Shaks pere, the lecturer says, " Their very faults are needed to prove them human, otherwise their excel lences would have classed them with the divine." Of other comic writers he says with a ridiculous em' phasis of derision—" How long they used to .sit hatching some chosen conceit; and what a cackling they made when it had chipt the shell." "Why Bardolph's nose," he exclaims, " eclipses all the dra matic characters that have succeeded !" In several parts there are some very felicitous expressions, 11, where Gulliver is called " the Day Book of a Fiend and Timon " the magnificent outbreak of an injured angel ;" or as where it is said that Shakspere spoke intermittently of himself in "the escapes of his S o nnets and the masquerade of his Plays ;" or as, where talking, of the Elizabethan age, Spenser, R a l e i g h, B aco n, and Shakspere are termed "its rich residuum of genius; again, as where Macbeth is called " not a tragedy but collection of tragedies," where the Tempest is said " to rise before us as the New World to the eye of Coltun bus," or where in fine Hamlet is grandly called " the Apocalypse of the writings of Sbakspere." But the noblest panegyric—one of the noblest panegyrics we ever remember to have heard pronounced on Sbakg pare, and we remember well, we cherish the remem brance of all that has been said in his praise by Schlegel, and Johnson, and Emerson, and Hazlittt and Mrs. Jameson,—is the remark with which Mt. Gilfillan closes his lecture—a remark in which he con' jectures that this earth " may be known in other parts of the universe as SHARSPERE'S WORLD !" CordiallY, that is to say from the core of our hearts, we com mend the following advice to those who cavil at Shakspere as an immoral writer ; and let them re' member that the advice comes from a clergyman; " Let those," says the Rev. George Gilfillan, le; those who prate of Shakspere's impurity, first of all read him candidly ; secondly, read, if they can, Alas:, singer, or Beaumont and Fletcher ; and thirdly, 11 they have Bowdler's contemptible Family Shakspere fling it into the fire, and take back the unmutilated copy to their bookshelves and their bosoms." Th e advice is worth taking. Besides the contributions already mentioned there is an entertaining review Of Mr. Layard's Discoveries in Nineveh.

We are happy to see the steady progression of this comprehensive work ; we have before us the 6th part fully sustaining the excellence of its predecessors. It contains a well designed and beautifully executed map of North Wales, its number of county an d borough representatives in the Imperial Parliamen t, the population and amount of assessed taxes in each shire. This number is further embellished with on exquisite engraving, the joint production of Messrs. Burrell and Ashley, of the Hanwell Viaduct (Great Western Railway).
