Inspector Otway, of the A division, deposed, that after the prisoner had been charged at the station house, and finding where he lived, he, accompanied by Sergeant Langley, of the detective force, proceeded to his lodg ings and searched his room; the only things found were two sheets, and these had been lent to the prisoner by his landlady; there were a few pieces of paper, which were written on, but they contained not the remotest allusion to firing at her Majesty. The prisoner bad been out of employment since November last. He bad for merly worked on the Belgium and Nantes Railway, and went over to France at the time the President of the French Republic effected his escape from Ham. In the course of yesterday morning he informed the prisoner that it was likely he would be examined in the course of the day, when he said that the pistol was only loaded with powder, and that he had not the slightest intentipn to in jure the Queen. Witness asked him his motive, when he said he did it for the purpose of getting into prison, as he was tired of being out of work. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said that he had heard the whole of the evidence in reference to the charge made against the prisoner, and on which he asked for his committal. Mr. HALL asked the prisoner if he wished to say any thing in reply to the charge which had been made against him. He was at liberty to do so, at the same time it was his duty to iniorm him that whatever he said would be taken down as evidence against him. 'The prisoner replied that he had nothing to say. Mr. HALL—You will then stand committed to New gate to take your trial for a misdemeanour, under the sth and 6th Victoria, c. 41, for firing and di charging a loaded pistol at her Majesty, with intent to alarm and injure her Majesty. The several witnesses were then bound over to prose cute, and upon the commitment being made out, the prisoner was removed to Newgate in a cab. rrHE X. E GAL TITL E ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Gentlemen,—A General Meeting of the Members having been summoned for the 22 , 1 inst., I wish to draw your attention to the propriety of reconsidering the act of a General Meeting of the Club (nearly ten years back, SirFelixagar, President) which excluded me from the privileges of the house. That cruel act was founded on " a report"— a report, of which I had no copy nor intelligence, and got up by a secret committee in consequence of my scrutiny into the financial investment of the club moneys as, in my opinion at time, ad mitting a banking peculation, since proved but too true—with part of our then capital of 40,0001. Gentlemen, never having been amenable to censure, nor been charged in my life with any unetlicer like nor ungentlemanly conduct, I claim a restitution of membership, and beg to intimate that the most active agent of the cabal who showed himself and promoted that resolution, had been (several years antecedently, in 1829) called out be me at Malta, where he, at the Florianne cemetery, tendered to my second (DEslioaocon) a written apology on the ground, at the pistol's mouth, for unjustifi able insolence. In conclusion, gentlemen, allow me at the same time to state (whatever may have been, or Is, my political bias, as cause for the calumnious persecutions by imprisonment at Bath, six months, in London, &c., without any trial, matters not, or whatever means Providence led the mind to collect—by the tradition amongst the mechanical masses, in default of written evidence—for the comple tion of my scientific views) my vested rights in the interests of the club are indefeasible ; and that nothing short of the forfeiture of my naval rank by court-martial, or civic rights by a court of law, could or can disentitle me to the advantages of the institution ; nor will I—(notwithstanding that you " afterwards" elected my brother a member speciali gratia, and sanctioned his appoint ment to sit as chairman of Messrs. Cockburn's Committee, at their late banking-house), until full justice be rendered to me, sub scribe my name to their certificate in relation to part of the capital stock of the Club used by them, in which a member's share belongs to the undersigned.

Another of those dastardly burlesques of high treason, which have already rendered the names of Oxford, Francis, and Bean at once infamous and contemptible, threw a shadow of alarm and horror over the loyal rejoicings of Saturday. The affection with which the Highest Personage in England is regarded by the masses of the population was severely tested on that evening—an evening comme morated as the birthday of our august SOVEREIGN. We can hardly command patience to comment upon an occurrence, in every respect marked by the cha racteristics of idiotism and atrocity. According to the accounts furnished by the different eye-witnesses the prisoner .Harniliton fired a pistol at her MAJESTY at a few minutes before six o'clock P.M. on Saturday, as the royal carriage was driving up Constitution-hill on its re turn to Buckingham Palace. Her MAJESTY was unattended by the PRINCE CONSORT, who had passed about ten minutes previously in the same direction on horseback. In the carriage with the QUERN were three of her children. And it was upon that anni versary, in the midst of her domestic happiness, in the capital of her dominions, in the bosom of a people to whom she has become endeared by the twelve years of her beneficent supremacy, that the noblest Lady in the land was assailed by the hand of this wretched miscreant ! Our indignation is beyond the expression of language, because it is an indignation arising from the thought that the repetition of these execrable acts may tend to dissipate in the heart of her MAJESTY that sentiment of profound security with which every man amongst us yearns to see it impressed. Very recently it was conjectured by a great living historian, that as we are accustomed to speak of the golden days of good Queen ELIZABETH, so our posterity will speak in ages yet unborn of the golden days of good Queen VICTORIA. But it never occurred doubtless to the mind of that renowned annalist that it would be said too, by our posterity, and said ill tones of unutterable disgust, that in the golden days of VICTORIA, the good QUEEN was again and again sub jected to dismay and disquietude, to grief and anxiety by ruffians, the like of whom were unknown to her less generous and less benignant predecessor. It will be said by future generations that with every claim upon the devotion, upon the affection, and upon the admiration of her people, the good Queen VICTORIA was perpetually harassed, on passing through the streets of her metropolis, even on the anniversary of her birth, and in the midst of the joyful demonstrations incident to that national jubilee, by the reflection that some miserable reprobate might raise a furtive weapon against her life like Oxford, like Francis, like Bean, or like the ruffian (now in custody) Hamilton. It is from such considerations as these, it is from the fact that one wretched unit may at any moment 13€.4y the loyalty of millions, that we are altogether at a loss to find words adequate to express our abhorrence of such offences. It is consolatory, however, to remember that the very outrage which took place on Saturday evening only evoked the most enthusiastic evidences of the love with which the good Queen VICTORIA is re garded by the population. The miscreant who brought a bitter pang to her noble and virtuous bosom was only with the greatest difficulty secured from the avenging hands of the bystanders. Nor was the emotion confined to those who had the misfortune of witnessing this flagrant attack upon the peace of mind of our beloved SOVEREIGN. From her august husband—who exclaimed, while he assisted her to alight from her carriage at the gates of her palace, " Thank GOD you are safe r —down to the poorest of her subjects, the emotion was the same in character though it might be different in degree : an emotion variously composed of horror, disgust, and gratitude. The intelligence spread with extraordinary rapidity over the capital, and cast a gloom over the preceding joy of its inhabit ants. About our own office throughout the rest of the evening the excitement to obtaining information was something remarkable. Even in the public thoroughfares the crowds who had gone there to gaze at the illuminations could not re strain their feelings, but cried out repeatedly " Long live the QUEEN !" In the clubhouses the news of her MAJESTY'S safety was received with joyful acclama tions, and there, as well as at the different Ministerial banquets, the loyal toast was welcomed with more than ordinary enthusiasm. At the various theatres the audience rose with one accord and shouted for the National Anthem. In the Mall, where a vast multi tude had assembled opposite the palace, the glorious tones of that hymn of loyalty resounded in full chorus ; and the voices of her people chaunting " Gun save the QUEEN," may possibly have conveyed to that illustrious Lady the hest and sweetest conso lation. While these things happened, the miscreant, whose folly or viciousness had thus dared to outrage the tranquillity of the SOVEREIGN, and to insult in so doing the affectionate devotion of all true English men, was formally passing under examination. As far as circumstances have yet been explained to the Attorney- General, to the Home Secretary, and to the ' Bow-street Magistrate, it would appear that the fellow fired no bullet, and that he merely dis charged the gunpowder in the pistol in the hope of rendering himself notorious. Thanks to that most judicious law, the sth and 6th of Vict., cap. 51, the judicial authorities will be enabled to forward the views of the ruffian rather more di rectly than he had probably anticipated—that enactment rendering any such culprit liable, at the discretion of a jury of his countrymen, to be sen tenced to imprisonment, with the addition of being publicly whipped atg the cart's tail. This Hamilton, according to his own acknowledgment, was anxious to render himself notorious ; the law can generously aid him in that anxiety, and render him notorious with a vengeance. The feelings of the nation, in deed, require that he should suffer some condign, summary, and ignominious punishment. We are no longer going to witness unmoved the escape, almost scot-free, of such in famous violators of the public tranquillity. Tile national indignation is no longer to be quieted with such stuff as the plea of insanity. Whether the criminal be an idiot potboy or a ruffianly bricklayer — let him be whipped and hooted through the streets at the cart's tail, and we shall no more hear of the emulation of his heinous guilt. The repetition of these execrable attetrpts will then no longer be recorded, and our beloved SOVEREIGN may repose in confidence on the love and loyalty of the great people whose happiness is her own.

LEON FAUCHEIt for the continuance to General CHANGARNIER of the double command of the garrison and of the National Guards of Paris, c ime on for discussion. The Ministers wished the discussion to be postponed, but on a division the motion for postponement was rejected by a majority of 294 to 254. The discussion was then continued. M. ODILON BARROT warmly supported the Bill, which was as warmly attacked by M. GREVT. On a division the Ministers were defeated, the numbers being— For the Bill Against it Majority against Ministers —B3 General LE BRETON, one of the questors, then proposed that the Assembly should adjourn till Thursday, in order that the hall should undergo some necessary repairs. M. FLOCON opposed an adjourn ment at a moment when an armed Revolution was at the gates of Strasburg, and when Russia was march ing into Austria. .M. LE BRETON'S motion was rejected by a large majority, and the Assembly adjourned to Monday. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday night, at which many of the members recommended resistance to the decision of the Assembly, the continuance of General CHANGARNIER in the command, and the dis solution of the Assembly by armed force. In the face, however, of the votes of t he arm y , as recorded, was felt that, perchance, the " engineer" might " hoist with his own petard," and accordingly more moderate councils prevailed ; and in the Moniteur of Sunday appeared an announcement that the General of Brigade PERROT is appointed ad interim Comman der-in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine. General CHANGARNIER retains the command of the troops of all arms stationed in the first military divisors. General CHANGARNIER called the Colonels of the several Legions of the National Guard together yes. terday, to bid them adieu. In doing so he made them a speech, intimating that the separation would pro- , bably be temporary and of short endurance. It ap pears from this that there is an intention of bringing forward a proposition in the new Assembly for the maintenance of the double command in his hands. He passed a high eulogium on General PERROT, so lung the head of his staff. Th• Ministry is in the agonies of dissolution. Marshal BUGEAUD arrived in Paris yesterday, and will be, it is said, charged with the formation of a Ministry preparatory to a coup d'etat for the destruc tion of the Republic. He will have all his subordi nate Ministers military men. Should such a Ministry be appointed, we may expect to see LOUIS NAPOLEON in London by the close of the season Several of his best friends have urged Lotus NAPO.. LEON to send for M. DUFAURE, but he refuses to do so. General LAMORICIERE and General CATAIGNAC have both been sounded, but they refuse to join either a BUGEAUD or a coalition Ministry, although they will join any Ministry of which M. n UFAURE shall be the chief. U. DE LESSEPS arrived at Civita Vecchia on the 14th. La Patric announces " on authority" that a report current in Paris on Friday and Saturday, relative to insurrections in Lyons and Strasburg, is totally un founded. Le Credit adds, that letters had been received from Lyons confirming the statement of La Patrie, and that the report of an insurrection at Strasburg on ginated in the sympathy loudly expressed by the troops of the garrison of Strasburg for the Republican insurgents on the opposite bank of the Rhine, and that the Government, informed of this fact, had dispatched General BOUGENET to Strasburg in all haste. La Presse announces the departure of M. DE FERRIERES for Vienna on Friday last, with dispatches of importance. The following are the returns of the Bank for last week : Specie has increased in the capital by 2,500,000 f., and decreased to the same extent in the branches. The discounted bills account has fallen nearly 3,000,000 f. in Paris, and 1,500,000 f. in the breeches. The amount of discounted bills does not much vary.

FRANKFORT. The German Parliament resolved on the 17th inst., by a majority of 191 to 12, that they had no confidence in the new Ministry. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The EMPEROR returned to Vienna on the 12th. The Weiner Zeitung of the 12th publishes an army bulletin describing in magniloquent language an ad vantage gained by the Imperialists over the Magyars at Schutt. Verily the Austrians are thankful for small mercies, for on looking to the return of casualties we find that the whole loss of the Hunga rians amounted to "twelve killed, and several pri soners." The Pesther Zeitupg of the 6th contains the fol lowing order : " The bombardment of Pesth, which has been con tinued from yesterday evening during the whole night up to the present hour, has been chiefly occasioned, I am persuaded, by the firing of the citizens from the Pesth bank of the Danube. Shooting either in the town or on the bank of the river is strictly forbidden. Whoever is caught in the fact, or convicted of shooting will, alter trial by court-martial, suffer sentence of death. " STEPHEN PATAY, Commandant of the Garrison. " Pesth, May 5." The 4th battalion of the Deutschmeister Regiment of Infantry, commanded by Major TRENK, at the re cent affair at Jablunka lost 200 men killed, besides wounded and prisoners. The Ist and 2d battalions of the same regiment, who were to penetrate into Upper Hungary, under General Banco, lost at Po lena the colonel, Count BUENA, 17 officers, and 300 men killed. In South Hungary things are not much better. At Funfkirchin the inhabitants rose and expelled from the town the Croat garrison of four battalions, for which deed the BAN has commissioned General OTTINGER to chastise them, and to impose a fine of 100,000 florins in silver. By way of Cracow 30.000 Russians have advanced into Hungary and 20,000 , by wa y o f L em b erg. DEFEAT OF HIE RUSSIANS BY THE HUNGARIANS. The Colog•ne Gazette of the 19th (second edition), states, on the authority of one of its Vienna corre spondents, that BEM had attacked and disarmed a Russian corps of 80,000 men ; that a great number of the Russian officers had gone over to his side; that the Hungarians had captured 60 pieces of cannon ; and that the disarmed Russians had been driven across the frontier. Another correspondent writes on the 14th of May, that Field-Marshal PASKIEWICII, with 18,000 men, had attempted to enter Transylvania, but had been attacked by BEM and entirely routed. Intelligence hhas LEVANT come toh a n A d l f AL. r o l m Constantinople of the 4th May, and Athens of the 28th ult. There is nothing new at Constantinople to notice.

It i s —that the projected marriage has been b ro k en o ff, o n the ground of settlement. A handsome annuity was to have been settled on him ; but it transpired that a still larger amount would have been more convenient.

THE SCOTTISII HosviTAL. — The spring festival of this charity was celebrated on Thu rsda y ni g ht at the Thatched -house Tavern, and was presided over by the Duke of Montrose. Many of th e warmest supporters of Scotch benevolent institutions in the metropolis were present ; among them Sir R. A. Anstruther, Sir W. A. Fraser Sir W. C.

The Duke of Montrose ex plained and advocated the objects of the charity, which were to enable natives of Scotland who had been resident in London for a certain time to return to their own country if they wished to do so, and to provide small annuities for those who were advanced in age, and unwilling to return to the north.

He has defeated the Neapolitan forces a second time, and thia second defeat would appear to be not merely a defeat, but a rout. The following official announcement of GARIBALDI'S victory was published at Rome on the 10th :- " OFFICIAL BULLETIN.-FIRST ITALIAN LEGION OF GENERAL GARIBALDI. " Palestrina, May 9, Quarter-past Eight P.M. " A complete victory. The enemy, 7,000 strong, en tirely routed. We have taken three pieces of artillery— two mutilated, one good. The firing commenced at half past four, and finished at dusk. More exact derails shall be sent in an hour. Palostrina is illuminated. " DAVERIO, Chief of the General Staff." " OFFICIAL REPORT.-ITALIAN LEGION, COMMANDED BY GARIIIALDI. " Palestrina, May 9, Nine P.M. " The combat of to-day could not have had a better termination. The Neapolitans, CO the number of 7,000, with 800 cavalry, arrived in the evening of yesterday at Valmontone, and were annoyed by us during the night with a fire of musketry, pushed up to the walls. To day they a=ttempted to strike a decisive blow at us. Three roads lead trom this place to Valmontone, which all meet in one at two musk,t-shots beyond Palestrina. The enemy divided his forces into two bodies ; one was directed upon our left, by the road which runs from this to Cave, with a branch to Valmontone, the other upon our right, by Lugano. At the centre a skirmish tiiok place, in which three of the Royalists were killed, without any of our men being hurt. At halt past four the enemy, whose coming we ardently longed for, appeared. All was ready. The fire began from our lett, the enemy replying with cannon as well as musketry. None of our men gave ground for an instant, but stood nailed to their post, like lions made fierce by thirst of blood. After an hour's firing, the enemy made a movement in retreat ; a detachment of our troops, sent to the left under shelter of the high ground, opened a fire upon his flank, well nourished and directed with such skill and steadiness that we had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy betake himself to a precipitate flight, leaving many dead and wounded, with three pieces of artillery, two of them disabled. He was pursued for a considerable distance, and though very clever at running, some prisoners were made. Mean while another bedy of troops came upon our left, by the pathway of Zagarolo, to which leads a track branch- ing horn aie post-road of Frosinone, in the neighbour hood of Lugnano; they were druwn up in mass, with a vanguard of cavalry; another body of cavalry, deployed upon their left 11 trik, was posted in reserve. This body arrived in good order at the point where the roads crossed each other, and opened a fire from one piece of artillery. Their object was to repair the repulse they had received on the other side, and they attempted to deploy some battalions on this quarter, but our troops were too firm at their posts to allow them to pass ; thereupon they changed their tactics, and attempted to penetrate to our right flank by descending in single tile. The fire with which they were met was too keen; they tritd a last effort, but, unsuccessfully. Our men, encouraged exceedingly by what had passed, met them with ardour, and could not long be restrained in their position. Quitting it on three points, they made a vigorous assault, and forced the enemy to a hurried fLght. A single company of ours sufficed to pursue him more than a mile, repulsing and almost de. stroying a squadron of cavalry, which had in despair attempted a charge. " Thus it is proved that the Italians, when they fight, conquer—for those only are Italians who contend for liberty. The Neapolitans sustained a heavy loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners: of our men few were wounds-d, and still fewer killed. The particulars of the Royalist and our loss will be given tomorrow. " DAYERIO, Chief of the Staff of Gen. Garibaldi." GARIBALDI returned to Rome on the 11th, and was received in triumph. Accounts have been received from Bologna to the 12th. The place still held out against the Austrians. The people were fighting desperately, and are prepared to make of Bologna a second Saragossa. The Austrians have been repulsed by the Bolognese in several attacks. Hostilities re commenced on the 9th, when the Austrians threw rockets upon the town from the suburb of San Mi chale, and cannonaded it from the Pelazzo Aldini. A combined attack upon the Galliera, Felice, Isaia, and Saragossa gates took place at the same time, all which were repulsed, while the Bolognese cannon did great execution among the Austrians at the Annunziata. The Bolognese have 2,000 troops of the line. The Riforma of Lucca publishes several procla mations of General D'ASPRE, at Leghorn, dated the 11th, directing that all arms are to be given up within 24 hours, prohibiting the tricolour, and re storing the old Tu-can white and red ; dissolving the National Guard, and declaring the town in a state of siege. SICILY. Intelligence has been received from Palermo to the 9th. The Sicilians had driven back the forces of FILANGIEM to Messelenimo, a distance of four miles, and the Neapolitan steamers could not approach suffi• ciently near to bombard the city, from fear of the guns of the fort. THE CHURCH-YARD STILE. I left thee young and gay, Mary, When last the thorn was white; I went upon my way, Mary, And all the world seemed bright; For though my love had ne'er been told, Yet, yet I saw thy form Beside me, in the midnight watch, Above me, in the storm. And many a blissful dream I had, That brought thy gentle smile Just as it came when last we leaned Upon the Church-yard Stile. I'm here to seek thee now, Mary, As all I love the best; To fondly tell thee how, Mary, I've hid thee in my breast; I came to yield thee up my heart, With hope, and truth, and joy, Anti crown with Manhood's honest faith The feelings of the boy. I breathed thy name, but every pulse Grew still and cold the while, For I was told thou wert asleep, Just by the Church-yard Stile. My messmates deemed me brave, Mary, Upon the sinking ship; But flowers o'er thy grave, Mary, Have power to blanch my lip. I felt no throb of quailing fear, Amid the wrecking surf, But pale and weak I tremble here, Upon the osiered turf. I came to meet thy happy face, And woo thy gleesome smile, And only find thy resting-place Close by the Church-yard Stile. Oh! years may pass away, Mary, And Sorrow lose its sting, For Time is kind they say, Mary, And flies with healing wing; The world may make me old and wise, And hope may have new birth, And other joys and other ties May link me to the earth; But Memt , ry, living to the last, Shall treasure up thy smile, That called me back to find thy grave, Close to the Church-yard Stile. —Weekly Dispatch.

Extremely small supplies of all kinds of English Grain, as well as Flour, were received up to our market last week, coastwise and by land carriage. From Ire land and Scotland the arrivals were unusually limited, they being chiefly confined to a few quarters of Oats. The foreign impo r t s were aga i n seasona bl y extensive — viz,, 18,774 quarters of Wheat, 1,352 ditto of Barley, 8.725 ditto of Oats, 490 ditto of Rye, 78 ditto of Peas, 99 ditto of Rspeseed, 216 ditto of sundry Seeds. B,Bos sacks and 912 barrels of Flour. As the Danish ques tion is still unsettled, a falling off in the receipts of Grain is expected from the Baltic; but those from the near Continental ports will, doubtless, continue good. Offers still continue to arrive from France and Belgium to ship Wheat and Flour at very low prices. .The ac counts received up this morning from our own ag ricult ural districts state that the crops are progressing rap idly . The quantity of English M k eat received fresh up for this morning's market, from Essex, was somewhat on the in crease; but that from Kent, Cambridgeshire, Sac., was very small, though of fair average quality. Notwith standing that the show of samples of both red and white was trifling for the time ot year, the demand for all kinds ot Wheat of home produce was in a very inactive state. Selected parcels were, in some instances, disposed of at about stationary prices; but those of the middling and inferior sorts declined is. per quarter, and a clear ance was with difficulty effected. The above tall is to be chiefly attributed to the prevailing fine weather for the growing Wheats, and the heavy pressure of foreign Flour on the market, with every pros pect of large future imports from France. Si nce the returns were made up last week several car goes of foreign Wheat have been reported. The supply of that grain on oiler to-day was tolerably extensive. As the millers ar.d other, operated with considerable caution, the sale for foreign Wheat w a s h eav y, an d w h ere sales were forced, the quotations gave way Is per quarter. This observation applies more particularly to the mid dling descriptions. Scarcely any English Barley was on show, and the supply of foreign was limited.
