A public meeting was held at Mont real, on the evening of Saturday, the 17th, which was attended, the Pilot says, by three or four thousand per sons, and at which a series of strong resolutions against the proposed compensation were adopted. The close of the meeting is thus described by the Pilot:— On leaving the hall the crowd proceeded by Done gana's to the Place d'Armes, where Mr. Lafontaine's effigy was burnt amid great hooting and groaning. During this exhibition, Sir Allan M'lsTab, M.P.P., occu• pied a post on the steps of the French Church. When the body of the figure was consumed, the head was cut off, stuck upon a pole, and borne in triumph to Sir Allan, and trampled on the ground at his feet. Sir Allan M'Nab then addressed the mob, who afterwards carried him part of the way on their shoulders to his quarters at Done gana's hotel, where the gallant ex-Speaker again ad dressed the mob from a balcony, and "pitched into the rebels" with a vehemence suited to his audience, con cluding by declaring that a struggle had commenced, and that all he could say was, "Lay on Macduff, and damned be he who first cries, Hold, enough !" The Ministry (Liberals) have carried the motion, in the Canada Legislature, to go into committee on an in demnity to be paid for rebellion losses, by a vote of 59 to 20. The debate on the question lasted from three in the afternoon to eleven o'clock the next morning— twenty hours. The Montreal Gazette announces, in connexion with this result, the arrival of the "rebel William Lyon Mackenzie" in Montreal, and informs the Governor and his advisers that he may be found at the Exchange Hotel in that city.

The discus sion yesterday was of a most disorderly character in consequence of a speech from M. PIERRE LEnoux, accusing the Government of having raised political scaffolds. The tumult rose to such a height that the President, having twice called M. PIERRE LERoux to order, consulted the Chamber on the propriety-of preventing him from speaking further. This was voted by a large majority, and the general discussion was closed.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES. .2 1 Y the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to ;Ford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta rnotts than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con • e bution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may sc are either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, r th his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any this, the power of __ r rowing two-thirds of all previous payments , it removes all r i sk r forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording .11 Ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; ant "?uld the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan 7es which the judicious application of a small saving can secure '4l ugh this Society. Proprietors, JOHN ARCHER and THOMAS HOLT.

My Lord, you:will pardon a pun on the Punjaub, When I say 'tie a bad job as well as a done job. Napier, it appears, is to start as your peer, Commanded to take the commandership here. Gough must go of, so the rulers declare, And another must settle the Sutlej affair. This decision, my Lord, may be painful to you, But I view it as proper—l certainly do. Only think of the victims who fell by the Jhelum, I fain would restore them, and raise them, and hearem, And view the brave captains who now are no more, Who fought their last fight on the Jhelum's red shore. But, my Lord, I forbear, and at once I would waive A topic so touching—a subject so grave. I was thinking, my Lord, that the subject is one Which may give an idea to E. MOSES and SON. Though you as Commander-in-Chief must come back With something which greatly resembles the sack. Still. still Messrs. MOSES and SON are displa3 ed As the gallant Commanders-in-Chief of the trade. Encamped on a spot for which multitudes search, Commanding a view of St. Botolph's tall church. E. MOSES and SON in a mercantile war Have faced competition, and made him withdraw. THE GARMENTS OF MOSES Command admiration, As samples of fashion, whatever our station. And all who such articles wisely procure A very commanding appearance ensure. THE HATS AND THE BOOTS Bought at MOSES depet Command approbation wherever they go ; And MOSES' command the respect of the buyer Precisely the same as they do in attire. While armies of ladies (excuse such a phrase), Honour MOSES and SON with unlimited praise : FURS, HOSIERY, SHAWLS, And in fact all the rest, Command vast support as the cheapest and best. And thus Messrs. MOSES and SON are displayed As Commanders-In-Chief in the battle of trade. LIST OF PRICES.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. _ _ HULL, MARCN 20. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—The arrivals of wheat during the past week from abroad have again been to a fair extent, and a large proportion of very moderate quality. The trade has been excessively inactive, and when sales were effected low prices had to be submitted to. With a fair supply of farmers' wheat, and a dull report from Mark-lane, this day's market was very heavy, except for the better descriptions of English, which fetched last week's prices. Foreign, low qua lity full 2s lower than last Tuesday , but we note no altera tion in the better runs of red. Very little business passing in barley, and we do not alter our quotations. Beans are Is lower. In oats and peas nothing doing. Only a small arrival of linseed, and the market quite as dear. We note no alteration in lin seed cakes. Rape cakes dull, at our quotations.

Barley, beans, and LavEaroor., MARCH 20. —At this day's market there was a good attendance of the town and country trade, and with a brisk demand for the interior ; the decline of Friday was nearly recovered on wheat. Oats and oatmeal met with little inquiry, and there is no change in value to report. In barley, beans, and peas there was not much passing. Barrel flour met with an extensive sale, and 23s per barrel was readily paid, but to wards the close of the market an advance of 6d per barrel was generally asked. Sack Flour continues neglected. A good business was done in Indian corn, and an advance of 6d per quarter on yellow was realised, but in white there is no im provement to notice. LEEDS, M.aacx 20.—We have a smaller supply of grain at market to-day than for some time past; still the trade con tinues extremely dull, and both wheat and barley, without altering our quotations, are difficult to sell at last week's prices. Oats and beans are also rather in favour of the buyer. DALKEITH MEAL MARKET, Baste I9.—The follawing are the prices at this day's market:— Oatmeal, per sack, of 280 lbs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Mr. Charles Dickens and Mr. Mark Lemon attended at this court, the latter for the purpose of preferring a charge of attempted robbery against Cornelius Hearne, aged 19, and the former as a witness in the case. Mr. Lemon, on being sworn said: I reside at No. 3, Saint Anne's Villas, Notting-hill. Last evening, about nine o'clock, as I was walking with my friend, Mr. Dickens, along the Edgware-road, I felt a hand in my coat pocket, and on turning round saw the prisoner draw his hand therefrom. I gave him a rap with my stick, when he abused me and ran away. I and Mr. Dickens ran after him, and he was shortly afterwards taken. He was extremely violent, and he kicked me very severely on tho knee. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you miss anything from your pocket? Mr. Lemon—l did not, Sir. Mr. Charles Dickens—l live at No. 1, Devonshire-ter race, Regent's-park. I was with Mr. Lemon, and saw.him turn suddenly round upon the prisoner, who speedilyran away. We pursued him, and when he was taken he was most violent. He was a very desperate fellow, and kicked about in all directions. There was a mob of low fellows I close by when he tried Mr. Lemon's pocket, and we were determined that he should not effect his escape if we could prevent it. Police-constable 229 D—l was on duty last .night in plain clothes, and saw the prisoner running, with two gentlemen in pursuit of him. I also ran after him, and he was at length captured, while progressing at a rapid rate along Bell•street. I told him I was a constable, and he walked a little way quietly with me, one of the gen tlemen also having hold of him. Prisoner said to me, "Let me go, or I'll give you something you won't like," and he kicked Mr. Lemon and me severely on the legs. On the way to the station-house he exclaimed, addressing himself to me, " You --, if I had known it had been you, I'd have given you more of it." Berkley, another officer of the D division, deposed to his having known the prisoner for years as a reputed thief. He had been tried, and also summarily convicted, at this and other police-courts. Mr. Lemon—While going to the station, the pri soner said to me, " Don't say that my hand was in your pocket." Prisoner—l didn't say that. What I did say was, "Don't do me a wrong by saying that it was i❑ your pocket." Mr. Dickens—l distinctly heard the prisoner use the words, Don't say my hand was in your pocket." Mr. BROUGHTON (to the prisoner)—What is your answer to this charge? Prisoner —I was walking along quickly, when the gentlemen suddenly stopped, and I came against one of them; they turned round and struck me, and I said, " What did you do that for?" when they laid into me again. I got away, and they called "stop thief." Mr. Dickens—When at the station, I said I thought I knew the prisoner, and that I had seen him at the House of Correction. Prisoner—Now, your Worship, he must have been in " quod" there himself, or he couldn't have seen me. I know these two gentlemen well; they're no better than swell-mob men, and get their living by buying stolen goods.—(Laughter.) That one (pointing to Mr. Dickens) keeps a " fence," and I recollect him at the prison, where he was put in for six months, while I was there fur only two. Both gentlemen seemed to enjoy amazingly the honour which the prisoner had with such unblushing effrontery conferred upon them; but, as may be readily imagined, neither of them confessed to having any connexion whatever with that " highly respectable" body—the swell-mob, or to obtaining a livelihood by dealing in stolen goods. Mr. l3nouortToN, after remarking upon the consummate impudence of the prisoner in making the allegations which he had against gentlemen of so much repute in the literary world, gave him to understand that if he bad stolen anything, he would have been sent for trial, and perhaps transported; as it was, he (the magistrate) should deal with him at once as severely as the law would allow him, and accordingly committed him to hard labour in the House of Correction for three menthe. " 13oz" and his friend then left the Court. EXCURSION TO PARIS IN EASTER WEEK:A plan for an expedition, on a large scale, by way of re turn for the late visit of the French National Guards, is now in active organization. The French Government have offered every facility for the gratification and ac commodation of the visitors. A number of individuals will constitute a committee of surveillance, and be al lowed the privilege of granting pass cards to the visitors, free of all charge, and without trouble. The arrange ments are of a nature to promote a pleasant excursion at a moderate expense. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —The Surpassing Excellence of Holloway's Ointment and Pills in the Cure of Old Wounds or Scrofulous Sores.—Four years since, Thomas Watkins, a cotton-spinner, at Manchester, received a severe wound in the arm by its coming in contact with the machinery; for a consi• derable time he was attended by several medical men at the Infirmary, who decided that nothing could save the poor man's life but amputation. To this he objected, whereupon he was discharged as incurable. At this crisis h►s friends subscribed a trifle to purchase some of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which remedies in a few weeks healed the wound, after so long a period of suffering.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. SUDDEN DEATH AT LIVERPOOL.--Yesterday a general gloom prevailed in the Liverpool Change, in consequence of the sudden death of Mr. Priestley, of the well known firm of Priestley, Griffiths, and Cox. He was unexpectedly seized with a fit of apoplexy, and died before surgical assistance could be procured. Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial office, from the Governors of Van Diemen's Land, New South Wales, and Gibraltar. The royal mail steamship Europa, Captain Lott, arrived in the Mersey yesterday morning, and we were enabled to publish yesterday a summary of the Presi dent's inaugural address to Congress in part of our im pression. General Taylor reached Washington about four P.M. on Friday, the 23d February, and took up his temporary residence at Wellard's Hotel. On the morning of the 26th the committee appointed on the part of tho Senate and representatives to count the votes of the electoral colleges, waited upon him with the official announce ment of his election. In the course of that day the Pre sident elect, accompanied by Mr. Clayton, called upon President Polk at his official residence. Mr. Polk held his last levee on the evening of Wednesday, and left the White House on Saturday, the 3d of March. He was to leave Washington with his lady for New Orleans on the evening of the 6th, and the Secretary of the Trea sury was to accompany him so far. The inauguration ceremonies took place on Monday the sth. The doors of the Senate Chamber were opened at 10 A.m., and the ladies' gallery was immediately filled with the fair sex. The reporters' gallery was also crowded to suffocation. There was great struggling and pressing, and thousands were forced to leave without a n a d n a entrance. resolution The Senate assembledadnptedtnatsenaattoeve Senator o'clock, obtaining chison take the chair. The new Members were then all sworn in, with the exception of General Shields. A resolution was adopted to refer General Shields' cre dentials to the committee on the • judiciary. The Honourable Millard Fillmore, Vice-President, and George M. Dallas, then came in, arm in arm. Mr. Atchison swore in Mr. Fillmore, who took the chair, and delivered an eloquent address. All the Justices of the Supreme Court, and about forty mem bers of the diplomatic corps, including the attaches, then came in, the first occupying fifteen seats in the area, at the left of the Vice-President, and the latter at the right. Messrs. Buchanan, Johnson, and Toucey, of the old Cabinet, came in and took seats in front of the diplomatic corps. It was now nearly twelve o'clock, and the President and ex-President had not made their ap pearance. Considerable impatience was manifested until about half-past twelve, when the President and ex-Pre sident came in, and occupied seats with George M. Dallas and R. M. Johnson. President Taylor entered into a brief conversation with Chief Justice Taney and Judge M`Lean. The President then proceeded to the eastern portico, where he delivered the address. The crowd in the square was immense, and probably num bered 10,000. There was great cheering and discharge of cannon before and after the delivery of the address. It was agreed that a daily hour meeting be held every day at twelve o'clock until otherwise ordered. General Shields' eligibility will be the first business before them, after the Cabinet nominations. On motion of Mr. D a y. ton the Senate then adjourned. The following is the address of General Taylor:— Fellow-citizens and Members of the Senate and House of Representatives — Elected by the American people to the highest Ake known to our laws, I appear here to take the post pre scribed by the Constitution, and, in compliance with a time-honoured custom, to address those who are now assembled. The confidence and respect shown by my countrymen in calling me to the chief magistracy of a republic holding a high rank among the nations of the earth, have inspired me with feelings of the most pro found gratitude; but when I reflect that the acceptance of the office which their partiality has bestowed fin poses the discharge of the most arduous duties, and in volves the weightiest obligations, I am conscious that the position which I have been called to fill, though suffi cient to satisfy the highest ambition, is surrounded by a fearful responsibility. Happily, however, in the performance of my new du ties, I shall not be without able co-operation. The le gislative and judicial branches of the Government pre sent prominent examples of distinguished civil attain ments and mature experience, and it shall be my endea vour to call to my assistance in the executive departments individuals whose talents, integrity, and purity of cha racter will furnish ample guarantees for the faithful and honourable performance of the trusts to be committed to their charge. With such aids, and an honest purpose to do whatever is right, I hope to execute diligently and impartially for the best interests of the country the ma nifold duties devolving upon me. In the discharge of these duties my guide will be the constitution which I this day swore to preserve, protect, and defend. For the interpretation of that instrument I shall look to the decision of the judicial tribunals established by its authority, and to the practice of the Government under 'he earlier Presidents, who had so large a share in its formation. To the example of those illustrious patriots I shall always refer with reverence, and es pecially to his example who was, by so many titles, the father of his country. _ The command of the army and navy of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate to make treaties, :and to appoint ambassadors and other officers, to give Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend such measures as he shall judge to be necessary, and to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed—these are the most important func tions entrusted to the President by the Constitution, and it may be expected that I shall briefly indicate the prin ciples which shall control me in their execution. Chosen by the body of the people, under the assurance that my administration would be devoted to the welfare of the country, and not to the support of any particular section, or merely local interest, I this day renew the declaration I have heretofore made, and proclaim my fixed determination to maintain, to the extent of my ability, the Government in its original purity, and to adopt, as the basis of my public policy, those great re publican doctrines which constitute the strength of our national existence. In reference to the army and navy, lately .employed with so much distinction en active ser vice, care shall be taken to ensure the highest condition of efficiency; and in furtherance of that object the mili tary and naval schools sustained by the liberality of Con gress shall receive the special attention of the Executive. As American freemen we cannot but sympathise with all efforts to extend the blessings of civil and political liberty; but at the same time we are warned by the ad monition of history, and the voice of our beloved Wash ington, to abstain from entanglin g alliances with foreign nations. In all disputes with conflicting Governments it is our interest, not less than our duty, to remain strictly neutral, while the geographical position, the genius of the institutions o f our people, a d vanc ing civilisation, and, above all, the dictates of religion, direct us to the cultivation of peaceful and friendly re lations with all other powers. It is to be hoped that no international question which a Government considers its own strength, and resolves to protect, can now arise, that may not be settled l-y negotiation; and it eminently becomes a Government like our own, founded on the morality and intelligence of its citizens, and upheld by their affections, to exhaust every resort of honourable diplomacy before appealing to arms. In the conduct of our foreign relations I shall con form to these views, as I believe them essential to the best interest and the true honour of the country. The appointing powers vested in the President imposes deli cate and onerous duties. So far as it is possible to be informed, I shall make honesty, c a p a city, and fidelity indispensable requisites to the bestowal of office, and the absence of either of these qualities shall be deemed suf ficient cause for removal. It shall be my study to re commend such constitutional measures to Congress us I may be necessary and proper to secure encouragement and protection to the great interests of agriculture, com merce, and manufactures; to improve our rivers and harbours, to provide for the speedy e xtinction of the public debt, to enforce a strict accountability on the part of all officers of the Government, and the utmost economy in all public expenditure. But it is for the wisdom of Congress itself, in which all legislative powers are vested by the Constitution, to regulate these and other matters of domestic policy. I shall look with confidence to the e nlightened patriotism of that body to adopt such measures of conciliation as • may harmonise conflicting interests, and tend to pe r p e tuate that union which should be the paramount object of our hop es an d a ff ec ti o ns. In any actions calculat e d to promote an object so near the heart of every one who truly l oves hi s country, I will zealously unite with the co-ordinate branches of the Government. In conclusion, I congratulate you, my fellow-citizens, upon the hi g h s t a t e o f prosperity to which the good ness of Divi ne P rov id e nce has conducted our com mon country. Let us invoke a co ntinuance of the sam e pro tecting care w hi c h h as led us from small beginnings to the , eminence we thi s day occupy, and let us seek to d eserve that continuance by prudence and moderation in our councils, by well-directed attempts to assuage the bitter ness which too often marks unavoidable differences of opinion, by the promulgation and practice of just a n d liberal principl es , an d by enlarged patr iotism which shall acknowledg e no li m it s but those of our own wide-spr ea d Republic. A New York correspondent has forwarded the follo w . ing authentic statement of the composition of the new Cabinet John M. Clayton, of Delaware, Secretary of St a t e . William M. Meredith, of Pennsylvania, Secretary o f the Treasury. Thomas H. Ewing, of Ohio, Secretary of the home Department. William R. Preston, of Virginia, Secretary of the Navy. Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, Postmaster-General. George W. Crawford, of Georgia, Secretary of War. Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, Attorney. General. CANADA. CANADIAN EXCITEMENT. The Canadian subjects of her Majesty Queen Victoria have, just at this time, three several and prominent topics of discussion before them--Ist, the question of Free Trade, or Protection, including the repeal of the navigation-laws ; 2d, a great, project of combined rail roads, the' particular question being the e x t ens i on of Government aid to their construction; and, 3d, the pro posed compensation of parties who suffered loss i n t h e rebellion. Th e es p ec i a l point of excitement in reg ar d to this latter is, that losses sustained by men w h o acte d with or favoured the rebels_ are proposed to be compen sated, as well as those of the purely loyal; and this stirs up much violence of feeling among those who call them- POLITICAL STATE OF CANADA. The Toronto Globe gives a series of tabular statements respecting the political state of Canada, from which we gather the following items:— In Upper Canada twenty-three constituencies have re turned Liberal members to the present Parliament. The aggregate number of their inhabitants is 493,929. The remaining eighteen constituencies have returned nine teen Tory members--while their aggregate population is only 238,658. Two to one of the inhabitants of this province have returned Liberal members. The average number represented by each member is 17,217. The average number represented by each Reform member is 22,015 ; while the average of representation of each Tory member is 12,560, In Lower Canada, according to the estimate of the population for 1848, each of the forty-two members represents 18,293. Of these, thirty. five members have been returned on the Liberal and seven on the Tory interest. The Liberals represent a population of 705,265, and the Tory only 73,058. The aggregate number of Liberal constituencies, then, is as follows :—ln Upper Canada, 483,912; Lower, 695,268—t0ta1, 1,179,180. The Tory constituencies number, 313,417, of which 218,658 are in Upper, and 73,058 in Lower Canada. The census, according to ages, makes the population of Upper Canada, 735,879. No census having been taken in Lower Canada since 1844, an approximating series of calculations was necessarily instituted, which gave a result of 768,434 inhabitants, the increase being taken at 79,552 over 1847.

Amongst the audience we observed—Mr. Sheriff Fearne, Mr. ex-Sheriff Malam, Mr. Alderman Sandal, and par ties. The redecorations, executed by Mr. Peck, and the new act drop, painted by Mr. Dally, deserve the highest encomiums. The performance commenced with the Winter's Tale, after which God save the Queen was sung by the whole company;- and, on the manager being loudly called for, he stepped forward and addressed the audience in a neat speech. Miss Goddard personated Hermione, and in the statue scene was admirable. Mr. E. Graham took the part of Leontes with his usual abi lity. The whole of the performers appeared to do their utmost to please, while the audience did not fail to give their warm tokens of approbation. ROYAL VISIT TO VAUXHALL STATlON.—Yester day afternoon some considerable interest was manifested in the immediate vicinity of the Vauxhall station of the South-Western Railway by the appearance of the royal carriages and four, with out-riders, at the bridge-road entrance of the station, and the alighting of Prince Albert from the foremost of the carriages. His Royal Highness, who was attended by the Marquis of Aber corn, arrived at about twenty minutes past four o'clock, and was escorted up the private staircase to the platform by Mr. Macartby, the ticket collector, in the absence of the agedt, when it was ascertained that the Prince had come to,meet the Queen of the Belgians, who had been on a visit to her illustrious parents, the ex-King and Queen of France, at Claremont, and who was to return to town by the 3.55 train from Esher. His Royal High ness, in the interval that elapsed, minutely inspected the station, with which be seemed much pleased. The ex pected train arrived at its appointed time, 4.35, when the Prince assisted the Queen of the Belgians to alight, and escorted' her Majesty to one of the royal carriages, into which he himself got, and the carriages started off at a rapid rate over Vauxhall-bridge for Buckingham Palace. This is the first occasion of royalty visiting the station, and, from the flattering remarks made by Prince Albert respecting it, there is little doubt but that the directors may be induced to make it what it was.originally in tended to be—viz , the royal station. DEATH OF THE DOWAGER QUEEN OF SARDINIA.— Theex-Royal family of France, resident at Claremont, have just received intelligence from Italy of the death of the Dowager Queen of Sardinia, only surviving sister of the amiable and pious consort of Louis Philippe. The deceased Queen expired on the 11th instant at S a vona. Her late Majesty, Marie Christina, was daughter Fer dinandl alteV iKing:King o o f s ft a h r e d i t n w i o a , S t i h c e i I i 7 e t s h , and Ap April, married lB 07,Cl of butiardl did Felix, not leave any family by that Monarch, who died in 1831.

The Clamor Publico says that the artillery officers of the expedition in Italy had already left Madrid ; but a letter declares that, if the exped ition has not, been altogether a b an d one d, i t h as been postponed for a long time. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. By decree of the Bth Prince Windischgratz forbids all communication, and all commercial relations, with the Hungarian insurgents and the districts occupied by them. By another decree, dated the 10th, all the requisitions of the Imperialists are ordered to be executed at the expense of the nobility, citizens, and inhabitants of towns, who may have taken part in the insurrection, and the property of landowners and functionaries who may retire on the approach of the Imperial army is to be confiscated. A letter from Pesth, dated the gth, addressed to a Bohemian journal, says :—" At a sitting lately held at Debreczin, a deputy proposed that the Emperor Francis Joseph should be acknowledged as legitimate King of Hungary. M. Nyary at once supported the proposition, and Kossuth himself delivered a warm speech in its favour. It was unanimously adopted. It is said that there was added to this resolution an express declaration that the principal motive for its adoption was to prove to the European monarchies, and above all to the great neighbouring powers, that there was no intention of forming a great Sarmato Magyar Republic. A bulletin of the army of Hungary, published at Vienna on the 15th, says that the Hungarians under BEM were retreating towards Maros-Vasarhely, and that the fortresses of Comorn and Peterwarden were so completely surrounded, that it was expected that they would shortly capitulate. The Vienna Gazette of the 15th says, that in the engagement which preceded the retreat, BEM lost 300 men and 85 prisoners. The Breslau, Gazette announces that the Hungarians had occupied Mohaez and Funf Kirehen, and that General PERCZEL was, with 10,000 men, at eight miles from Buda. The Hungarians were concentrating their forces on that place. It was said, that WINDISCII.• GRATZ had ordered, that Count Wam§is should be tried by court martial for having lost the battle of Mezoekoewest, and compelled the Austrians to retire to Buda. The Gazette of Upper Austria states that Prince WINDISCHGRATZ has received orders to refrain from all interference with the civil administration of Hun gary, which is reserved to JELLACHICH as Governor. ALLEGED MURDER OF SCHUSELKA. It was reported in Vienna on Thursday night that SCHUSELICA, the late President of the Kremsier Diet, had been seized on the morning of that day, taken before a court-martial, and shot. War cannot credit this report. If it be true, the authors of such atro cities as these are affording an ample ex post facto justification of the doings of ROBESPIERRE and the French terrorists in 1793,1 by proving that there was much reason in the plea advanced at that period that the massacres then perpetrated were in reality merely measures of self defence. PRUSSIA. Advices have been received from Berlin to the evening of the 13th inst. The anniversary of the re volution had passed off quietly. On the lith the KING received the deputation of the Upper Chamber appointed to present to him the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne. M. D'AUERSWOLD, President of the First Chamber, who was supported by the Vice-Presidents, having read and delivered the Address into the KING'S hands, his MAJESTY replied, from a paper presented him by Count BRANDENBURG, in a few words, thanking the Chamber for its patriotic sentiments and expressions of attachment to himself and family, and stating that the representatives would, he trusted, conquer, and maintain the competence of the laws. The KING having terminated, the deputation replied by a loud and simultaneous lebe hock, and after having been addressed individually by his MAJESTY the whole de parted, to meet again at three o'clock, at Charlotten burg, where they are invited to dinner. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, MARCH 20.—Her Majesty the QUEEN quitted the Hague early this morning for Helvoetbluys, where she will await the arrival of his Majesty WIL LIAM lIL from London. The Ministers of the In terior and of the Marine also quitted the Hague for Ilelvoetsluys, for the same:purpose. Everything is perfectly quiet in the city. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Wesen Gazette and the Borsenhalle say that the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Russia proposes that Schleswig shall be formed into an independent State, and be only united to Denmark as Norway is to Sweden ; but that Denmark will not consent to this, ITALY. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Rome, Rus- CONI, has published a note dated the 3d, and addressed to all the powers. The following is a summary of this document : "The calumnies that have been spread against the Rornish Revolution oblige the Government to contradict them. Tho Italian nation, which had conceived the most sanguine hopes of regaining its liberty in the: struggle lately commenced against Austria, found its ex pectations dashed by the very man who had awakened them, and who on the 29th of April, at the very time when the war was at its height, openly disapproved of it, and checked the idea of nationality among the people. From that moment began a silent, but terrible and fatal opposition; the disasters of Lombardy being in a great measure the consequence of the defection of the Pope, a conviction arose that the insti tution of Papacy as a temporal sovereignty was incompatible with freedom. The insurrection of November was the consequence; the Pope whose safety was not threatened, fled from Rome. This Bight was a second defection from the cause he had formerly embraced; still the people patiently examined whether a Constitutional Prince could thus leave his State; and it aas found that the constitution was but a ilso mask. The people asked who had been left by the Sovereign to govern during hi s a b sence, an d on l y found a letter, in which Pi us IX . recommen d e d the Romans to spare the live s o f hi s men i a l s . St i ll the people after p n e were patient ; a go vern i ng comm ission ‘s named from G ae t a . Th e act was the commission r e f us ed to .accept u.rnaesonstitutional ; The po Chamber we of Depu .and still the people did not f a ll into anarchy. ties protested against the act that n amed a commission, as not bearing the signature ofia Minister. A message was sent to the Pope by the i igh Council and the magis refused. The people made trates; but the message last effort. The president of the commission named by a the Pope, Cardinal Castracani himself, sent a new mes sage to Gaeta; but without effect. The country then, seeing itself without a head, named a Junta of State, to prevent anarchy; this Junta convoked a Constituent As sembly, that alone could supply the want of a supreme p o wer. Th • e Pope, who had fled, who had l e f t t h e Go vernment without a chief, replied to the act of convoca tion by excommunicating the Constituent Assembly. The Constituent Assembly was inaugurated; 200,000 votes had contributed to the elections. The Assembly, after maturely considering the preceding facts, and the state of the country, declared the downfall of the Pope and proclaimed the Republic. None of the calumniators of this Republic can accuse it of the least reprehensible act; it honours Italy, and is worthy of the eternal city. Let Europe judge. As long as the Pope showed himself the friend of Italian independence, the Roman people stood by the Pope; but, when he deserted that cause, his temporal sovereignty was repudiated. It is well that Europe may have a standard whereby to measure tho des tiny with which the Roman Republic is threatened ;—a destiny which the men who guide it will meet without either presumption ea fear, with the dignity of men who TURKEY. Advices from Constantinople of the6th March deny that the Austrian Minister had asked the loan of the Ottoman fleet. The note of the Austrian Minister " was to demand on what footing the Ottoman Go-' vernment would place itself, in the probable event of „: a war in It a ly 1' The answer of the Porte was couched in terms which cannot be misunderstood. It positively persists in maintaining a strict neutrality; „e„,l but, at the same time, in order to protect the Alba- -e.l nian frontier, it will station a portion of its fleet in • •e'w the Adriatic for that purpose. ••,, The Porte has not yet come to a decision regarding• "; Wallachia, inasmuch as the Russian Government has not yet given in a reply to the late protest. The Minister for F ore i gn Affairs is preparing another note a of importance, in which he insists that the conduct of Russia in the whole affair has not been fully borne out by existing treaties, and hopes that the Remo* will in consequence see the propriety of withdrawing eo.f the Russian troops from the Danubian Principalities. The Russian Ambassador is greatly annoyed at the - firmness displayed by the Porte, which he ,openly an- nounces is an encouragement to revolution, which may not be confined to the Danubian Principalities - - alone, but may hereafter extend to the other provinces of the empire. There may be something very signs. ficant in this quasi menace, but the feigned anxiety of :Russia to prevent a revolution in Turkey is as amusing as is the blockade of the Circassian coast, to prevent the introduction of the plague among the - people against whom she has sought to wage a waref. extermination. trs .fleo On Saturday, the 3d inst., the SULTAN embarked board the steam-yacht the Gaif, and proceeded on a visit of inspection to the different government manu factories in the neighbourhood of limit ; his High ness is accompanied by AIIMEMET ALI PAcal, the Grand Admiral, FETTY ANMET PACIII, and other Ministers of the Porte. The object of this visit is to give a greater impulse to industrial art in this country, and at the same time deliberate in council on the po litical exigencies of the moment. The military preparations of the Porte are on the increase ; recruits arrive daily by the overland route from distant provinces. Several light vessels have been towed into the Black Sea, and altogether the preparations of the fleet are advancing very rapidly; in three weeks or so every available vessel in the ar senal will be fit for service. EGYPT. Advices from Alexandria of the 9th instant state that several Ministerial changes had taken place with a view to bring into greater prominence the personal friends and favourites of the new Viceroy. SAI L! PACHA, AHMED PACHA, SOLI BET, and one or two others, formerly occupying influential appointments, have been provided for elsewhere in Turkey, and the means of travel placed at their disposal, with a request those means should be availed of without delay. The leading men now remaining are ARTIN BEY Mini ster of Foreig n Aff a i rs , an d S HERIFF and 'Luca, P aches. The former holds the appointment of Go vernor of Cairo. KANI BET, a man distinguished for his literary attainments and general business qualifications, has been removed from the direction of the India transit, where he gave flattering promises of usefulness, to make place for a man named HERIDAN BET. The PICHA has been remonstrated with on the injury British in terests must suffer; but complaint has been disarmed by reiterated assurances that it is not to agents but himself the British Government and public are to look for the fulfilment of his promises on the subject. The India steam-packet Ajadaha left Suezifor Bombay on the 21st ult., with the outward mail of Feb. 7, all well. The Calcutta mensual steam-ship Oriental arrived at Suez at five, A.M., on the .sth instant, with the homeward India and China mails and 102 passengers, after a voyage of almost unprecedented rapidity. The Peninsular Company's steam ship Ripon, has arrived at Alexandria, eight A.M. Rumour states it to beiprobable Aasas PACHA will succeed in negotiating a sale of his fleet of war vessels to the Austrians, whose agents are said to have been making overtures on the subject, both here and at Constantinople. The whole fleet is in a very ricketty condition. A European, named Marre, holding th e ran k o f colonel in th e E gyp ti an army, has been placed at the head of the Cairo police, on the recommendation of some of the foreign consuls. Cotton has been held for higher, - prices since the ar rival of the last mail from England, by which more encouraging advices were received ; but other articlea exhibit few, if any, symptoms of upward movement. Shipping is scarce. and the demand very limited. Ex changes are receding, and the rate by this packet may be quoted at 974 piastres to the pound sterling. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday the 19th, on the discussion of the Army Estimates in Committee of Supply, Mr. Hume moved to reduce the proposed number by fourteen thousand men. Some of the newspapers, I observe, say that he would have done the same had the proposed number been fourteen thousand less. It is very likely. And perhaps it is equally likely, that but for the certainty of his motion, the proposed number would have been four teen thousand more. So that the curious in such proba bilities may apparently set off one against the other, and lodge in a consolatory persuasion that whatever was was best. A prescription of this kind may therefore be considered as a kind of salutary alterative, intended to produce a silent improvement in the body politic, rather than to display its energies by any marked external token. On Tuesday Mr. Iloraman made his motion for a Committee of Inquiry into certain matters connected with the Living of Bishop Wearmouth. In these days of rebuke , and jealousy, the Church should be much obliged to anybody who will take care that she takes care of herself ; of which the m os t urgent d epartment of all, is that sh take care of her reputation and good name. Men will not seo the revenues of a rich living or portions of it, laid by to accumulate for purposes unstated, without evincing a morbid curiosity as to what the intent may be, and very probably sug gesting evil where none might be designed. The Government and many of the House urged the mover to give up his point, and promised that his end should be obtained some other way; but ho declined on the ground stated by the lady, who had trusted so often that she had determined not to trust again. So the Previous Question being moved, was put to a division and nega tived by .52 to 39. Here again, we have the alterative process. It is not any instant effect that can be appealed to; but acquaint ance with the Member for Cuckermouth's persuaders, cannot tail to have a gentle beneficial operation on the ecclesiastical constitution in the long run. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, March 21, 1849. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SC7IV. SIR,—In your paper of the 13th inst. you are pleased to remark on the appointment of Lieutenant APKillop to the Coast Guard, and express astonishment at so young an officer being appointed to such a billet. You are perhaps not aware that a man may be a young lieu tenant or commander, but an old officer. But to the point—" young officers joining the Coast Guard," and the reasons why they do so. The first thing that nem. , rally occurs after a man gets his lieutenant's commission, is to endeavour to obtain his commander's rank by ser vices, merit, or interest. He serves at sea, and may or may not have an opportunity of distinguishing himself ; but if he has no interest, he must not expect promotion, because there are hundreds of young aristocrats who, in the Navy, like every other profession, literally block they kup all the avenu es t o p romo ti on , an d he must wait s tilly are all served. His ei g ht or ten years' slervet•ce a he is now lieute nant only leave him still in the same p tco oh/ as h e w a s before too youny. There c o ae 'is no pay nor promotion p ofofrtthieme, unlist, which, the al lthese attain, and then he only gets ' unless the a t lieutenant a moderato is w a i i tchuilnati7n 00 , will take thirty years to from the t o i r t s u . t t i o u t i h o e f 6 t s he patronage of the Ad m i ra l ty, so n s h e a e l i f- seeing week IkVaefitie weighing week shame lessth i n discouragingg prostitution r o n s his to mind, in and an y a meritorious off icer, un l uckily without interest, ho naturally says, " I won't knock ' about any more at sea, but will give up all thoughts of promotion and bear up for the Coast G uar d , and spend the remainder of ray days in a sort of retirement, the best I can get, and the only refuge for the poor destitute lieutenant." Trusting this brief sketch may enlighten yourself and friends how it happens that many officers, much against their will, join the Coast Guard—l am, Sir, YOUR CONSTANT READER, One of the many Lieutenants at the time Captain Peel entered the Navy. ' . _.~~ . , ~„ THE UNITED SERVICE - CLun.—His Excellency „1.41 Vice-Admiral Cecille, the French Ambassador, dined on ' Tuesday evening with the members of the 'United Ser vice; Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrance, K.C.8., in ' the chair. Amongst the company present were Rear- Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge, Sir W. Dillon, Sir F. Pellew, General Brotherton, Sir A. Duff, Captain C. Graham, Captain Bethune, Capt a i n Milne, Captain Mundy, Captain C. Frankland, Sir T. Hastings, Captain Price, and other distinguished naval officers.
