It contains a beautiful map of the County of Sussex. The statistical information appears to be as correct and comprehensive as usual. We have no doubt, its extension to the other kingdoms of the empire is being looked forward to with anxiety. The archaic and historic records of Ireland and Scotland, so full of beauty and romance, will form a roost inte resting portion of the " British Gazetteer," and we feel confident that ample justice will be done to these subjects in the promised extension of the work, as nothing could exceed the indnstry, observation, acid research manifested in the parts already given to the public. Di N°.17,672.] LONDON - MAY 16, 1849., WEDNESDAY P E N NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. [PRICE SD. 26, Cornhill. London. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages With respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage : — pro v i - Man for th e family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if needful, whilel iving. The Assured h aa. en all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, hell on the lOth of May, 1148, to decl,re a 'lath bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid 0 11 each Policy effected on the profit scale.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. HULL, M 15. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states : The import of wheat during the past week has been more limited than for some time past ; and if th's blockade lasts, we may look for its still further declining. Of spring corn the supply is more liberal, but is not likely to continue so. The trade has been exceedingly inanimate during the whole week, and sales of wheat have been quite impracticable except at a reduction commensurate with that noted in other markets. We had a somewhat better demand for the best descriptions of foreign wheat at to-day's market; there was a small show of farmers' wheat, and scarcely so good to buy as last week. Less business passing in barley, but we note no alteration. Beans, as well as peas, and best qualities of oats, are fully as dear. Of the above import of linseed but a small portion comes on the market, the bulk having been principally on crushers' account ; the market is somewhat easier. A moderate COA sumptive demand for cake, and no change in the value. Rape seed little inquired for, and the stock insign , ficant. Rape cakes more plentiful, and may be bottght easier ; the same remark applies to cat tle bones. Messrs. ARCHER and HOLT most respectfully invite their friends and the public to patronise the Nell Uwynne Coffee-room, which has been fitted up in the style of the period in which she lived. Visitors to the Theatres, Citizens, and Gentlemen connected with Somerset House, and the Banking Houses in the vicinity. will find the Table d'ilote, which takes place at Half-past Five vecisely, the most comfortable and rea-onable In the metropolis.—Fish and Joints, 2t. per head. lint Joints until Eight, and Suppers anti One o'clock.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con • tributiou of a very small annual, monthly, •r weekly saving. may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, •r, At his option, a large sum of money, •r a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of lorrovrint two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk Of forfeiture from inability to continue premiams, besides affording an ample resource daring sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, tw•- thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and ♦aried advan fvges which the Judicious application of a small saving can secure trough this Society. I. BENEFITS 11.

BEAUTIFUS TEETH. ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE. A WHITE POWDER compounded of the choicest and most re cherché ingredients of the Oriental herbal. It extirpates all tartar ous adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence : they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, inguce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and c.lour indi cative of perfect soundness ; while, by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication. The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that its effi cacy is preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in conse quence, obtained its selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and Royal Family of Great Britain,'and the Sovereigns and Nobility throughout Europe.—Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis %loners have directed the Proprietors' name and address thus, A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden ," to be engraved on the Government stamp, which is affixed on each box. Sold by the Proprietors, amid by Chemists and Perfumers. WHAT'S YOUR OPINION of MOSES ? My opinion of Moses' is this, That their warehouse has nothing amiss ; For many a year have I tried The garments by Moses' supplied, And finding how business is done, I can recommend Moses and Son. I've a bill on my file you must know, Which is dated just twelve years ago, 'When first I was tempted to try The garments of Moses' supply, And ever since then I've been one To support Messrs. Moses and Son; For during the whole of the term, Not a fault have I seen in the firm. The various promises made Have all been fulfilled in their trade, And the more I have known of the mart, The more have I acted my part. In furnishing stylish attire, Messrs. Moses are all I desire; And I've equally found them outdo, In make and material too. These praises will also apply To the boots and the shoes that you. buy ; Nor can I say less of the shop, With prime Paris hats for the top ; And the hosiery shows what the trade is, And the beautiful shawls for the ladles ; There's nothing, in fact, that you buy, But ranks the proprietors high. The whole of the houses, as one, Do credit to Moses and Son. Then look at what savings are made By the very low price that is paid. The strictest economy here Is constantly found to appear. In all things the warehouse discloses What scarcely a stranger supposes, And that's my opinion of Moses. LIST or PRICES, UADY MAIM.

LWil One half the world are desolately single, and the other upposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em .itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea If caution and 'worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un vroprosin hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, aid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness ,nd social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set lement.

[ADVERTISEMENTI—A Dreadful Enlargement of the Knee Cured by Holloway's Pills.—Abram Banks, an elderly man living near the Dry Creek, South Australia, had such a painful affection and enlargement of the knee that he despaired of ever recovering the use of his limbs, the numerous remedies that he made trial of failing to banish or even to mitigate the disease. In this suffering condition he was ad vised to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and he com menced a regular application of them, which in a short time effected a complete cure. The Adeloide Observer, of the 25th March, 148, publishes this as one among the many astonish ing cures effected in south Australia by these invaluable Medi cines. —Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The Canadian Tories have given us another touch of their quality. They have proved their abhor rence of tumult and sedition by pelting her Majesty's re presentative with rotten eggs, and burning down the House of Assembly. We are not in the least surprised at it. It does not alter our estimate of the party, of its temper, of its wisdom, or of its power. It only adds the last testimony wanting to the value of the Liberal Con stitution we have fortunately given to Canada. Riot, in sult, and conflagration are the acts of a party which de spairs of attaining its end by peaceful and ordinary me thods. The conduct of the Canadian Tories, now for many months, has been quite in character with this hril liant finale. A month since the steamer brought us an account of Sir Alan 11• Nab, with a dozen or two brother legislators, dining iu public, drinking destruc tion, both of body and soul, to the Governor-General's responsible advisers, and standing in a balcony after dinner to see the chief of them burnt in effigy before the windows. In England we have only one opinion of such proceedings. Lord Stanley is a warm and rather reckless politician; but if his Lordship invited a party of friends to dine and see Lord John or Sir Robert burnt in effigy in St. James's-square, we should conclude that he thought his chances of power somewhat desperate, and was, in fact, taking it out in revenge. This is the case of Sir Alan M'Nab and his associates. They are now a despicable minority. Low as they are in numeri cal strength, for they barely count a quarter of the Legislative Assembly, they are still lower in character and fortune. With all their jobs laid bare to noon day, their characters blasted, and their fortunes ruined ; with the doors of office closed against them, and incapable of honest employment, they have no alternative but to throw things into confusion, it they can, and make every body else as miserable as themselves. We have no wish to give these desperadoes a greater share in this last crowning outrage than facts fully justify, for there are many modes and degrees of participation in crime. Perhaps they have no more to do with the burning of the House of Assembly than Lord George Gordon had with the destruction of the Roman Catholic chapels and Newgate. The experience of this country shows that very lamentable events, of apparent political significance, may arise on a very short notice, and by very casual in struments. In the Nottingham and Bristol riots, the mob being then and there assembled, finding themselves in force, perceiving that there were leaders, and hearing a cry, rushed at five minutes' notice to acts which they probably had not dreamt of before. Of course, they outstripped the vigilance of the authori ties as much as they did their own senses. Once in the work, they knew not where to stop. At Montreal we trust it was not worse. We trust there was nothing organised in the destruction, though the cutting of the gaspipes looks rather like plan. The mob was convened and excited at a mass meeting. Thence, as by sudden impulse, it rushed to the House of Assembly. From breaking windows to effecting an entrance, and from that to firing the bulling, are easy transitions. Unfor tunately, a temporary wooden gallery adjoined the house, for the stationery department. Two or three years back there was a similar combination of combustible material in our own Westminster-hall, and prudent people shook their heads at it. The papers once flung about and a candle applied, ten minutes and a high wind put the matter beyond human control. The gar rison marched up with all speed, and arrived in time to see a splendid conflagration with the usual crowd of de lighted spectators. They fired neither into the edifice nor the crowd, and in fact could do nothing. The fire men played upon the adjoining buildings, which was their wisest course. We had forgotten the police, who mustered sixty strong under two constables, and kept order on the ground. When everything was over, the authorities, the military, and the police were all on the qui vice ; the soldiers were marched to and fro ; sus pected parties were apprehended and marched off to gaol ; and when the post left order triumphed at Montreal. Nothing is so easy as a surprise, nothing so worthless when there are no means o f following it up, and nothing so wicked where there is no solid advantage in prospect. Why, one man might have set that house on fire, and it is said that one man actually did. Under ordinary circumstances it is impossible to guard against a surprise. We remember another House of Assembly in North America, situated fifty miles within land, in the heart of twenty states and ten millions of men. One fine day a handful of men, about as large as the Montreal mob, sailed up a bay, landed, marched through some woods, fought a smart action, walked up to a city, passed a quiet night, and the next day burned or blew up all the buildings of the capital, marched back as merrily as they came, got to their ships, and sailed fur ther, where they fared worse. It was all a mere piece of mischief, unworthy of the name of war, doing no thing but exasperate the people and widen the breach, and proving nothing but that it was impossible for us to hold a single inland position in the enemy's country for more than 24 hours. Such a feat is calculated to diminish our surprise both at the folly and the success of the Montreal conflagration. The minority which is making all this commotion is nothing more or less than the old "family compact" turned out of doors, and become by this time rather out at elbows, and ravenously hungry. The M'Nabs, the Sewells, the Boultons, the Robinsons, and the Fentons, who divided all the offices in Church and State, in the tribunals, in the Bank, in the Canada Company, and every other public establishment, between them—who made a ma ' J 'ty in the Legislative Council, and who had actually an degree, ha ' ve worked out that once granted the greafer . pfarttoefhUildprpeenr Cthaeniardcaoutositbhseambsdelbvbens., • They have now changed places with productive mine. whom they used to tread upon, except the unfortunates benefit ntheexiirofnasthteortsh, the remotest t n an enjoy and a rtehaelcoLmegmiosinature.situa tionTohef a i r r espon much that of the Conservatives in Canada is pretty Conservatives are not op pressed respon sible e t' att Governmenthey of such c by the memory now This is nob war of races. The rimes as those of the the population; whereas British are a large majoriiy of decided minority. In another co bb)u..t that a . the colon iali t i h i the thism a l c c o o : n lni t g e t ar n yr t c s , are a co luau' our readers will find the votes of the Assembly on the 27th and 28th ult., upon the address to the Gover nor-General, and the amendments moved to that address. We have before us an analysis of the division on the first amendment, which was the strongest vote on both &des. The total number that voted was 63, of whom 46 were for Government, and 17 against. Of the 46 for Government there were 22 French Cana dians from Lower Canada. 6 British from Lower Ca nada, and 18 British fiorn Upper Cinade. The minority against the address consisted of 11 British from Upp er Canada, 5 British from Lower Canada, and one French Canadian (the Republican, Papiueau). Government, therefore, had a majority of all classes; a majority of the Briii,h, all the French except• one, who might well be spaced, a majority from Upper Canada, and a majority from Lower Canada, the aggregate majority being over whelming. It mus t be considered too that in this divi sion the factious minority had used all its arts to divide the Legislature and win apparent support. They did not venture to propose an amendment censuring the Governor-General, or showing ever so slight a s3mpathy with the rioters. Yet their affected me. duration was unavailing, and they were entirely tseaten, as we have shown, by a majority of all classes. It is seldom easy, and it is wholly unnecessary, to describe a political quarrel in a few words. The Rebellion Losses Bill is the merest pretence. Our readers are doubtless aware that it is not a Bill for in demnifying rebels, but a Bill for indemnifying, to a very limited extent, any persons that may have suffered by the destruction of their property in the rebellion ; and the only grievance is that the Bill does not, because it cannot, expressly exclude everybody who took part in the rebellion. We believe th e sore point of the affair is , that after the rebellion, the ReYalists, autos dale, wantonly burned the premises of disaffected persons, who will now prefer a clairn for that gratuitous damage. This, however, is nothing but the spark which has been used to fire the magazine. The most Magazine is exclusion from office, and from the distribution of land explosive element in that grants a trial to which the pot-loyalty of M'Nab and his associates is manifestly unequal. Canada, too, in common with other colonies —in common with England and with all E urope is suf fering great commercial depression. I t i s no longer allowedeo tax the industry of the mothe r - country through freethe operation tr sde en etfh ithis protective side, i t i s duties;reuff bed with prohibitive and, whil e exposed to duties by the neighbouring union. There has been a depreciation in all Canadian property, somewhat similar to what we experience in railway shares and other specu lative investments. Annexation is an idea of growing familiarity. At Montreal A " British League" has been formed, which, under the pretence of an extravagant loyalty, composes a political capital out of all the Tory grievances, commercial depression, free trade, the domi nation of an alien race, and every other imaginable ill. It shows stronger sympathies with the republican states man than with the loyal Frenchman, and is evidently disposed to leave Victoria for General Taylor, if the lat ter will give a better price for Canadian produce. But enough for the day is the evil thereof. While it is per mitted, we will leave the question of annexation. It ex isted before the present quarrel, and is wholly independ ent of it. When it comes in earnest, we trust this coun try will be prepared to decide it with humanity, firmness, and discretion. ADVERTISER —Mr. Roebuck's warmth and spirit relieve the debates of much of their ordinary dulness. His home truths on the Bill for improving Ireland set most of the Members for that country on fire—one re torts that he is bilious, and another that he is a grimac ing mountebank, with the spite of a baboon. Each man abuses him according to the good taste and breeding of each, but not one is able to deny the charges which he brings forth against at least seven- e gh . ths of those who through the speech of the Hon. have again carefully read Member for Sheffield, and we have compared it with the possess. actually or nominally, land in Ireland. We answer returned by the Earl of Clarendon h to a deputa tion of Irish proprietors, who wajt e e r d on _ .Lien i t tn en , a S n e t p , t i e n m e b b er_ 5, 1848, to request his aid, as L d from England. His same things, which Ltaotnrdinsghis by Mr. Roe are found so unpalatable when repeated down, fur, to sneer them Roe buck. There was then no att h em e p been too bold a pro fur as to denial, that would Lordship another then saidg ra n t the of mone y very n landlords and orators on to all. The silence of Irish which were familiar that occasion was an acknowledgement f l aa e v d c g ts ement that those facts c w e e e:d e in to g o i s n tu th b e bo f r a n ce to of be r e s c h e aken, and we do not see that the lapse of a few months has alte r ed t h e ir nat ur e. It is either true or false t hat the l a r g e s ums sent over b y Government, and the contributions of charitable persons, both for the relief of the poor, by improving estates, employing the people, and purchasing food for their im• mediate wants, were diverted into the pockets of the landlords. Mr. Roebuck says that it is true, and the Lord-Lieutenant had said so before him, but in some what more explicit terms. His Lordship told Mr. Baez ley of Tipperary, and the rest of the deputation. that " the landlords had applied for and obtained im mense sums of money for the alleged purpose of im proving their lands and affording employment, neither of which they had done; thus the intention of the Legisla ture was not carried into efftst, nor the condition of the agricultural population in any degree improved." Lord Clarendon went farther than the Member for Sheffield in his condemnation of landlordism, which he said bad obtained money under the Land Improvement Act, and then set their wretched tenantry to work in discharge of arrears of rent, without giving them a farthing of what was intended for them. Mr. Roebuck says much the same, but not in direct terms; yet Sir W. Barron ee clares that it is monstrous to hear him making such as sertions without proof. Yet, how happens it that what was tacitly allowed to be truth, when coming from the highest officer in Ireland, in his public ca pacity, is now discovered to require proof ? When Lord Clarendon expressed his indignation to the Irish deputa tion, the facts had been made notorious to all parts of the empire, by the usual vehicles of public intelligence, and it might then be thought prudent to maintain silence about them ; but Englishmen do not imagine that truth or falsehood is a question of time, and that a few months or years will convert one into the other. The Hon. Baronet asks if it is not notorious that the landlords of Ireland have this year raised 16,0001. under the poor-law ; and suppose they have, where is the merit ? The little town of Dunmow expends 16,6001. every year in the actual relief of the poor, and that, too, without any of the compulsion or the grumbling opposition which accompanied that exceedingly small instalment of the debt of the Irish landlords to the people. During the ensuing autumn, winter, and I spring, the population of I re l an d will be dependent chiefly upon English grants and contributions for pre servation from hunger; and we are very far from de siring that any assistance should be withheld; but those from whose earnings the means of relief will be with drawn have an indefeasable right to require that the Government shall hold the land of Ireland in pledge for every farthing that has been, or may be advanced for this purpose. We urge this security to be taken, be canse all experience demonstrates that landlordism, which alone has brought th e peop l e to the destitute mendicant's condition, is not t o b e truste d, and because while the land co n ti nues to b e neglecte d , t hrough pride, laziness, poverty, or any ot h er cause, the industrious classes of Great Brit a i n w ill b e un d er the necessity of maintaining the poor of Irel a nd as we ll as their own. ARMY AND ORDNANCE. The following Parliamentary document was delivered yesterday:— " Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the expenditure on account of the Army and Ord nance, and to report their observations thereupon to the 1101130 of Commons. "Your Committee have to report to the Hous e , th at the investigation into the expenditure on account of the Ordnance Estimates has occupied their attention to th e present time, and is yet so far unfinished, that they can hold out no expectation to the House, that they shall be enabled to do more than to report upon the expendit ure on account of Ordnance Estimates during the present session." HER MaiEsTs's THEATRE.—The Queen and kis Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the perform ances at her Majesty's Theatre yesterday evening with their presence. The royal suite in attendance upon her Majesty and his Royal Highness included the Countess of Desert, Hon. Miss Murray. Hon. Flora Macdonald, Earl of Morton, General Wemyss, and Lieut-C o l. t h e Honourable Alexander Gordon. Her Majesty the Queen Adelaide's box was occupied by his Serene High ness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his Serene Highness Prince William of Hesse Philipstatil, the Mar chioness of Worcester, Captain and Lady Ros e L ove ll , Captain Bedford, and Captain Taylor. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Naples (Count of Syracuse), attended by the Chevalier Colonna, also visited the theatre.

The visitors to the metropolis will be glad to hear that the City Land Committee are about to issue orders that the Guildhall shall be shown to the public without payment of fees to the servants of the establishment, who are to receive compensation in lieu thereof. We under stand that an effort will shortly be made to induce the authorities in other places, to which the public ought to have free admission, to exercise similar liberality. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The audacious attempt on the part of M. LEON FAUCHER to influence the elections, by spreading, by means of telegraphic di s p a t c h es , i n f amous calumn i es against his political opponents, and by denouncing all those Members of the Assembly as enemies of the cause of order who did not vote in favour of the Government on the question of Roman interference, has met with a fitting retribution, and the expiring Assembly has rendered its last moments illustrious, by bringing to just punishment an exalted criminal. the subject of the telegraphic dispatch to the electors of Amiens, which we published in The Sun of yester day, was on Monday brought before the National Assembly by MAILLARD, when M. LEON F.mr- CHER declared that it was not his intention by that dispatch to convey the meaning that there was any understanding between the Members of di? Assembly who had voted against the Government, and the " agitators who wished to renew the days of June," thus, as the National says, "adding to the audacity of the calumny the cowardice of a db avowal." Several other Members complained that telegraphic dispatches of a similar nature had been sent by the Minister of the Interior to various other Departments, and M. GOUDCHAUX called upon the Assembly to put in force against the Minister of the Interior that article of the Constitution which punishes with imprisonment for a month and a fine of 2,000 francs all those who have fraudu lently manosuvred to influence an . election. M. DE LAROCHEJACQUELIN, who alone of the Legiti mist Members seems to have preserved the high and chivalrous sense of honour for which the old Noblesse were distinguished (MM. DE MONTALEMBERT and DE FALLonx are more like Jesuits than nobles —priests rather than statesmen)—M. DE LAROCHE JACQUELI N, acting on the principle honneur oblige, ascended the tribune and exclaimed, "I have sup ported the Government on every occasion, but I will never sacrifice from m y thisb trconscienceiuneto stigmatize and should do so if did not they have pursued in this instance as in the highest possible degree to be condemned." M. CLEMENT Tnomes demanded that all elections which bad been influenced by these fraudulent and calum nious dispatches should be annulled, and M. ODILON BARROT adopted his usual tactics of en deavouring to raise a constitutional question, so as to draw away attention from the personal one. He prosed for some time about not interfering by any resolution with the prerogatives of the new Assembly, but these red-herring trailing tactics did not serve as they had done on so many previous occasions, for M. MAILLARD i.nmediately proposed the following reso lution :—" The National Assembly, blaming the dis patch of the 12th of May, addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects, passes to the order of the day," which brought back the debate on its legiti mate basis, and which was carried by a majority of 519 to 5 only. The friends of the Ministry being aware that the motion would be carried, abstained from voting, under the idea that the Assembly would not be in sufficient numbers to come to a decision, but they were deceived, and the vote of censure was carried by ama jority of 514. We are not, therefore, surprised to find that the lifoniteur of yesterday announces, that on quitting the National Assembly on Monday even,- ing M. LEON FAUCHER, Minister of the Interior, placed his resignation in the hands of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Paris elections were over yesterday at four o'clock. All went off quietly. The result cannot be known before Friday.

Two soldiers of the 49th Regiment of the Line, in garrison at Chalons sur Saone, were placed under arrest for some breach of military discipline, when about 400 of their comrades went about the streets, shouting " Vive la Republique Democratique et Sociale." The majority of the 45th Regiment of the Line, in garrison at Bordeaux, have voted for the Socialist candidates. GionEan has left Paris for Turin. The Reforme announces that the advanced guard of the Neapolitans was completely defeated by the Romans at Favre di Mezzia Via, between Rome and Albano. The following is a letter dated Rome, the sth of May, three-quarters past 12 o'clock, rat., quoted by the RTorme : " The enemy's corps, composed of 800 men, and sub sequently reinforced by 2,000 men, has been put to flight. They threw down their arms at the first shock of the Romans. The latter captured 69 prisoners and two pieces of cannon. At the moment I write the two pieces are entering Rome." La Presse complains that the Government have not published all the information they have received from General OUDINOT, and in confirmation of this fact La Presse publishes the following letter, dated near Rome, on the afternoon of May 5 :—" This day General OUDINOT pushed his reconnaissance from Palo to hts right, with the object of uniting with the Neapolitan army at Albano, with the intention, it is said, of entering Rome at the same time with them." The appearance of the Neapolitans has greatly embarrassed and annoyed General OUDINOT. lie cannot permit them to conduct operations against Rome alone, nor can he as yet venture to throw off the mask and act with them as allies. Indeed, the French troops are so exasperated by the trick played on them to induce them to go to Rome (they were told they were to be led against the Austrians), that it is doubtful whether they would not join the Ro. mans in the event of any attempt being made to induce them to co-operate with the troops of King Bombs. The Government continues to send rein forcements to Civita Vecchia. BOURSE.—PARIS, TUESDAY, MAY 15.

FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the 12th the following motion, propesed by BACKHAUS, was carried by a majority of 163 to 142 : " The Imperial Assembly resolves:-1. That the col lective armed power of Germany, inclusive of the Land wehr and the National Guard, is solemnly to be sworn to the constitution as finally decreed. " 2. The temporary central power is summoned to execute without delay what is requisite thereto, in as far as the proper steps have not as yet been taken spon taneously by the individual states." The Regent has applied to VON BLITTERSDORIP to form a Ministry. AUSTRIA. One hundred and six — thousand Russian troops, under the command of Prince PAsiiiEwicz, inclusive of 23,000 cavalry, are on their way and partly on Austrian soil. The Generals RUDIGER and TSCHEO DAJEFF are under PASKIEWICZ. The Russian troops ; bring with them provisions in naiura for a fortnight, after which period they will be furnished with all ne cessaries in the usual way for ready money. The chief management of the Ru ssian invasion is in the hands of a diplomatic military council, under the personal superintendence of PASSEWITCH. The leading members of this council are—General BERG, who accompanied the EMPEROR to Schcenbruian, and at the review on the glacis rode by his side; G eneral ns tro n i n. Soriiu.aos, native of the Crimea , and intima t e f riend of AURANOWITZ, the Russian p refect of police in Cracow ; and lastly , a certain Chevalier D E 7.Pfaxs, who has earned notoriety and promotion th roug h a var j ie E t L y rali ofcgicalill:isnt corps,and adventuresotBh,eoroome Peters burgh, Warsaw, and Moscow. arrived at Waradin, was completely cut up And an nibilatel by the Hungarians on the Ist. A letter o JELLACHICII, written from the Imperial camp, has been intercepted by the Hungarians, and printed copies are being circulated in the camp. He therein justifies the subdivisions made in the arrangements of his troops, and states that he has suffered severe losses, but concluded by expressing the hope that the entire liannat will be eventually reduced by him. The mass of the Hungarian army is stationed at Neitri, Neuhausel, and as far as Sumerelu. Throughout the country are seen old men, women, and children cultivating the land, and whenever the Hungarian soldiery have had a few days' respite by cessation of arms they are immediately occupied in field labour. From the camp at Altskolcz entire companies of the Hungarians have been ordered to work in the fields. Martial law has been proclaimed in Prague and the surrounding districts. The principal parts of the city are barricaded and occupied by the troops. The press is suspended, and the political authorities placed under the control of the military. The prevalent feeling among the inhabitants is rather that of sur prise than irritation. The members of the Slovanaka Lipa, Gantsch, and Mott, have been arrested. This is the gratitude of the Austrian EMPEROR to the Czecks for having aided him in recovering pos session of Vienna. The Sclavonians, in common with other races subject to the Imperial domination, are beginning - to experience the inevitable fate of those who put their trust in Princes. --- The following semi-official circular is published in the Vienna journals • " When, towards the end of the last year, the Imperial troops after putting down the insurrection in Vienna, advanced against the Hungarian rebels, rapid success marked the footsteps of the Imperial army to the capital of Hungary. With the occupation of Peath the strength of the insurrection seemed broken, the authority and in fluence of its leaders appeared so shaken, that hopes were entertained that the population which had been misled by deceit and the most shameful artifices, would, if left to themselves, recognise their error and return to their duty. "This expectation, which, however, offers an addi tional proof of the mild intentions of the Government, proved a lamentable illusion. They sought to gain time for a noble object, and valuable time was lost, which was turned to account by the faction of disorder to assemble its colleagues from all parts of the globe, and with their help, and by every means, however abominable, to excite anew the masses to fanaticism, thus to enable it to bid defiance to the Imperial forces. " The insurrection in Hungary has long ceased to be a national one. That unhappy country has become the arena where the enemies of order and legality from all quarters of the globe have met to fight for the triumph of revolution. " This naturally made the task of the Austrian Go vernment a more difficult one, and explains why of late their arms have not met with more brilliant success against enemies who are associated with treason and the vilest passions. " This circumstance is everywhere made subservient to the plans of the revolutionary faction to spread abroad the most barefaced lies respecting the state of affairs in Hungary, with a view to shake the confidence placed in, and thereby the influence of, Austria. . "But an end will soon be put, it is hoped, to such scandalous proceedings, for the Imperial Government has resolved to call into play all the power it can dispose of to reinstate the dominion of the law. " That it will succeed in doing so, no doubts can be entertained, as the state of public affairs in the other faithful territories of the monarchy is so satisfactory, and offers to the Government powerful support and abun dant resources. " The Imperial Constitution has everywhere met with a cordial reception, and is already in execution. The recruiting is carried on in every district with a success which demonstrates the devotion felt by the popu lation for the Government and its righteous cause, and the taxes which have been decreed are paid willingly and readily, notwithstanding the unfavourable circum stances of the moment. The movement visible in many of the bordering states of the kingdom of Hungary is but the result of the coercion exercised by the Magyars agairst the other nationalities, and can only be favour able to the measures of the Government. " Let, then, every one who means well to the just cause, be careful in giving ear to the conflicting reports that are spread of the state of affairs at the theatre of war in Hungary, unless the intelligence springs from an official source; and let him confidently allow the Go vernment time to carry out its measures. " The power which it purposes displaying, and which it has at its command, must now, when, atter the bitter experience of the past no considerations of pity can be allowed to limit its action, be the guarantee of its success." PRUSSIA. There has been some severe fighting at Elberfeld and Dusseldorf, but the troops had, it was said, suc ceeded in getting possession of those cities. SAXONY. Tranquillity has been restored at Dresden and Leipsic, but the country is still disturbed. ITALY. The following is the official account of the defeat of the Neapolitan invaders by the soldiers of the Roman Republic : MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AIJAIRS. ROME, May 5. The following are the particulars of the first ren centre, on the road between Torre di Mezza and Albano, between our troops and a corps of Neapolitans, which at first were 800 in number, but were afterwards increased to 2,000. The enemy were put to flight and threw away their firearms, leaving sixty prisoners and two pieces of artillery in our possession, which are now (three o'clock, P.m.) entering Rome. (Signed) The Minister, CARLO RUSCONL Great complaints are made of the plunder and out rages of the troops commanded by the King of NAPLES, who, at the head of his lazsaroni, appears to be literally " the Prince of Cut• throats" and the King of thieves. It is said that the Roman sharp-shooters are particularly anxious to get sight of him for a couple of minutes. Ruscom, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Ro man Republic, is to be dispatched to London on a diplomatic missson. A better choice could not be made. Ruscom is a man of high honour, high courage, high standing, and great literary eminence, perfectly acquainted with the lnnguage, the manners, and the modes of thinking of England and the English (he has translated the works of SHAKSPERE and of BYRON into his native lan guage) and just the man to force the bullies (whether amateur or hired) of the reactionary party in this country either to prove or to retract the accusations which they have so industriously spread against the Italian patriots in places where they were not present to contradict them. A letter from Leghorn of, the 7th, says that General D'ASPRE, who was before the town, had given it 48 hours to - surrender at diieretion. In consequence of the menaces of the French Go vernment, the Austrians are about to evacuate Ales sandria. 300 of them left on the night of the Ith, and the fortress and the town will be entirely eva cuated by the 20th, as well as the two Piedmontese provinces beyond the Legia. It is said that Piedmont is to pay eighty millions of francs to Austria, which cedes to her the duchies of Parma and Piacenza. SICILY. Accounts from Palermo of the 4th state that the mountaineers of Sicily under SCORDATI, indignant at what they considered the betrayal of the cause of Sicilian freedom, have entered Palermo, deposed the new Provisional Government, disarmed those of the National Guard who were for surrendering to the Neapolitans, placed Rise at the head of the n ew Go vernment, erected barricades, prepared fora ,vigorous defence, and declared " war to the knife ' against FILAiwIERI and the Neapolitans. AloNEr MARKET.—The premium on Mond at Paris is per mille, which , at the English Mint price exof 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an - change of 25.39; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.35, it follows that gold is 0.16 per cent. dearer is Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 439 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.12; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at abort being 13.11, it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent. dearer iu Hata burgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 108 p er cent., and the par of ex change between England and America being 109 23.4 per cent., it follows that the exchange is I.sii per cent. against England; but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest m us t b e deducted from the above difference. GRAND JURY CUSS IN IRELAML—A Bill bits been prepared and brought in by Sir W. Somerville, Sir G. Grey, and Mr. Bellew, to continue certain temporary provisions relating to the collection of the grand jury cess in Ireland. It continues the provisions of the 11th and 12th of Victoria, cap. 26, sec. 4, enabling grand juries to present an increased poundage where difficulties occur in the collection of public moneys. Clause 2 con tinues the provisions of the recited Act to the end of the year 1850, and thence to the end of next session. SEIZURE OF FIRE-MUMS AT HULL.—A few day since the officers of her Majesty's Customs in Hull seized no loss than II cases, said to contain nearly 300 stand of fire-arms, that were brought for shipment on board one of the steamers at Hamburgb ; no doubt intended for the Germans or llnnes.—Hull Packet. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY Mi4GAZINE. The number of this judiciously urianged and learned miscellany has just reached us, it is redolent of the sweet flowers of poetry, quite in keeping with the sunny month of May. The opening paper, " Irish Popular Superstitions," is admirably AP ritten, and shows an intimate acquaintance with those mystic nationalities which from time to ti `no immemorial have been the subject of many an in teresting tale. The introductory chapter, though somewhat wild and discursive, contains some sad and melancholy truths illustrative of the fallen con dition of that stricken land ; the bright imag finings of a merry and light-hearted people are fast vanit•hing before the horrible realities of famine and pestilence ; and if some saviour hand be not speedily stretched forth, the brave and hardy sons of green Erin we'll soon become a race of stolid drivellers, a shame anti disgrace to Britain, instead of being as they ought to be, England's pride in peace—her strength and glory in war. Or as many as can " flee the wrath," will seek a home in that far-off land, beyond the wide Atlantic, mingling with the sigh or song of the exile, deep execration on those who would not " give them leave to toil" in the land they loved and left. " Eastern Rambles—Sinai ; its leading fea tures, and most remarkable localities, ancient tradi tion and modern hypothesis, &c. &c." Any account of the eternal hill whence the law was delivered to Israel, must be interesting. It is written in a spirit of poetic enthusiasm worthy of the subject. " The Island of Sardinia," by John W. Tyndall. Re cent political events have thrown an interest around this country and people, and the editor deserves well for pointing attention to a work opening a path of knowledge to an island and people so little known to modern tra vellers. "The Legoff Family, a Tale of Brit tany," in two parts. The fir s t part o f this tale is wild and stirring, and promises well. " A Bou quet of Ballads," by Bon Gaultier. " The Grave of Dimos." " Charon and the Souls." " The Athenian Girl." " The Mainote's Widow," &c. &c. We regret our space will not allow us to present our readers with a flower or two from this exquisite bouquet, indeed, we would be puzzled to make a selec tion, for all are excellent. The "Athenian Girl" and the " Mainote's Widow" could not be excelled in deep feeling, pathos, and sensibility. " Ceylon and the Cingalese" is continued—the present is a most inter • esting chapter. The introduction of Buddhism into Ceylon—an account of the Dalada relic, brought by a princess from Northern India in the year 310, and held in such high veneration by the Cingalese, will give a painful illustration of the national superstition. The Portrait Gallery" is embellished with a beauti fully executed engraving of Sir Robert Kane, M.D., director of the Museum of Irish Industry and Presi• dent of the Queen's College, Cork. The subject of the memoir which accompanies this sketch has well won the eminence he has attained. He has been from his youth an able contri butor to the scientific world. His great and useful work on " The Industrial Resources of Ire land," would alone entitle him to the gratitude of his country, as a scholar, a patriot, and a philoso pher. " Inheritor and Economist," a poem. This is a sharp, well-written political poem. " Gasparro Ban dello," an anecdote of the south of Italy. "The Ma gician of Heidelberg," and the " Nightingale and the Cuckoo," are poems of great merit, and well worthy a place in the pages of this magazine. This number closes with an able and argumentative paper, entitled " Poor-law versus the Poor."—" Our Rata in Aid." The writer would have " A moderate import duty laid on foreign grain, the proceeds of which should be allocated ultogother as 'a rats in aid' to the support of the poor in every part of the kingdom." With regard to the transfer of property to the as surance of legal titles, the very able writer ob serves :—" There are now in existence, or in progress of formation, joinst-stock companies, through whose agency, all impediments in the way of free trade in land are likely to be removed. The company for purchase has already made itself known by the re velations of Mr. Bright. The other company, under the name of The Legal Title Insurance Company,' has issued its prospectus—a prospectus characterised by clearness, ability, and information, in no ordinary degree, and giving the strongest reason to believe that the enterprise in which it has engaged is likely to prove successful. With two such societies in exist ence there seems little reason to doubt that sales in land will soon be effected on a large scale." ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The second performance of Meyerbeer's Roberto took place here last night, when, in consequence of some ne cessary excisions, it went off with increased eclat. Taken as a whole it is certainly a masterly rendering of this great work. Her Majesty's box was occupied by Lady Cottenham, the Hon. Misses Pepys and the Hon. Mr. Pepys. There were also present his Excellency the Sat dinian Minister, his Excellency the Portuguese Minister, Viscountess Torre do Moncorvo, and Baron Torre de Moncorvo; his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marchioness of Westmeath and the Hon.

A new and original five act tragedy, frum the pen of an American gentleman, was produced here a few evenings ago ; it is entitled Calaynag. The scene and story of the tragedy are laid in Seville and the surrounding neighbourhood. It is exquisitely written, and remarkable for beauty of diction and poetic thoughts. Mr. Phelps sustained the part of Calaynos— half Moor, half Venetian—admirably. We have so often had occasion to eulogise this gentleman's acting, that now it would be an act of supererogation to do so. Miss Cooper played the part of the wife of Calaynos beautifully; her reading was remarkable for its chasteness and purity of style. Mr. Marston, Mc. Dickinson, and Mr. Hoskins each acquitted themselves with their usual excellence. The scenery is beautifully painted ; es pecial mention must be made of the exterior of the castle of Calaynos. The dresses and appointments were minutely correct. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Phelps was called for, and received the applause be so justly merited from a crowded and attentive audience. great success. wife It A new one f li ar ll ce ° , fal L led It's onlyAmTyjTint, was is from t p ro duced h h e p r e e n o o n f M m o r n s .d Valentine y night, with Bartholomew, the Queen's flower painter, and is distinguished rather for clever, facetious, and racy dialogue than for any great originality of plot—that is, the materials aro not quite new, but they are so well put together that they make an effective, laughable piece. There is a certain Admiral Firebrand (Mr. George Cooke), with a maiden sister, Deborah, of " a certain age," and a niece Caroline. The aunt is personated by Mrs. Johnson, and the niece by Miss Viilars. The Admiral wishes his niece to marry his nephew, an exquisite who rejoices in the euphonius name of Snipes (Mr. Morland), while, according to stage precedent, the young lady has already pleased herself in the selection of Colonel Hunter (Mr. Wheatley) as a lover, and her soubrette, a damsel called Patience (Miss Saunders) creates the confusion of the farce by deliver* iug to the aunt a note sent by the Colonel to the niece. The antique lady makes an appoint ment with her correspondent, who sends his servant, Oliver (Mr. Herbert) to keep it. The substitute accord dingly makes love, but, the Admiral coming in, is thrust into a chest for concealment. The Admiral, apprehend ing a visit from robbers, puts his own servant to watch for them. This servant, who is afraid of ghosts, takes his seat on the chest, cut of which Oliver speedily issues, covered with a white sheet, and escapes, but is taken for and reported as a spiritual visitor. Meanwhile Mr. Snipes appears, mistakes his uncle's house for an inn, and is put into the chest by the handma iden. The chest, with its contents, is moved into Aunt Deborah's apart ment, where an explanation takes place, which is wound up by the appearance of Caroline a nd Hunter, who h ave got'married, and. according to dramatic practice,are forth . with pardoned. It is but justice to say that the actors performed their parts remarkably well, and thus contri• buted to the success of a clever, sprightly trifle. '5 Great complaints are made at Sunderland of the want of trade and e mployment. There is nothing to do for the working men, and the prospect this year worse than during the spring for many years past.--. Durham Advertiser.
