Availing himself of the Easter recess, Mr. Con- DEN seems to be making a kind of political :pilgri mage throughout Yorkshire, for the purpose of cultivating a personal acquaintance with his consti tuents, and of forwarding the agitation in favour of financial retrenchment. On Wednesday he was at Wakefield—on Friday he was at Leeds—neither the Coy - et Newsman nor the Parliamentary Gossip can conjecture where he may happen ,to be on Y.;londay. We like the principle on which these provincial peregrinations have originated—a prin ciple of candour and good-will between the possessors of the elective franchise and their representatives. The periodical visitations of Mr. WARD to Sheffield, and the continual epitome of 'the discussions in the House of Commons by Colonel THOMPSON, are evidences of the same honesty of conviction and of the same manliness of deport ment. They carry us back to the manners and cus tem sof good old ANDREW MARVEL. And hence we 'like them. Mr. CoBDEN appears to have a decided liking for them too, if we may judge from his recent wanderings in the West Riding. He evinces a very creditable solicitude to unbosom himself to that vast rYstiturtncy which honoured him s o cons p icuously no minatioo l i m , when and returning him , u nknown to him ,elf, h e was endeavouring, after improving thr, Constitution of his country, to recruit his rown upon the continent. The electors of Yorkshire are, of course, M high good humour at a course of conduct so peculiarly favourable to their own interests. They welcome their representative with an enthusiasm having reference p ar tl y to his bygone achievements in the destruction of monopoly, and partly to his anticipated successes in the reduc tion of the national expenditure. Several other veteran Reformers have, as a matter of policy not less than as a matter of friendship, ac companied the Chieftain of the League upon his ex edition against the profligate squanderers of the public money and the parasitical hangers-on of Government. Conspicuous among these is, of course, the j7dus Achates of the ex-Member for Stock port, the Honourable Gentleman the representative of Manchester. We think, however, that the force of th,:, remarks which fell from the lips of that promi nent colleague of Mr. COBDEN would have been very materially increased had he appeared before the banquetters of Wakefield less in the character of a Walking Advertisement. We say this plainly and !Imply, because Mr. BRIGHT could scarcely have pro. claimed more clearly the motive of his observations upon the general tone and principles of the London journals if he had walked meekly iota the dining-room, in the footsteps of the Member for the West Riding, with a couple of boards slung over his shoulders, like those rather dilapidated gentlemen who perambulate the streets of our metropolis, and whom Mr. DICKENS has facetiously christened by the name of "animated sandwiches." Knowing as everybody present did so well the relation in which the Honourable Gentle man stood towards the newspaper upon which his eulogiums were lavished so unstintingly, his advice savoured considerably more of the Puff Direct than of the Puff Collateral, or of the Puff Oblique, or of the Puff Collusive. It was plain, honest speaking—as plain and honest as the pane gyrics squandered upon his ribbons, and laces, and knick-knackeries by the pedlar ADTOLYCIIS. It would, perhaps, in some measure hare deprived the observations of Mr. BRIGHT of some of their rheto rical brass if he had coupled his allusions to the organ in which his principles (and his pocket) are so pecu liarly interested, with sentiments not altogether ex pressive of political ingratitude. In the admiration of an upstart advocate, the old supporter of more than contemporary duration should scarcely be over looked so cavalierly. But Mr. BRIGIIT acts mani festly upon ',the recommendation of the ballad—first to be off with the old love, and then to be on with the new. His opinions are not so staunch and immove able, neither are his partialities so lasting or consis tent as to enable him (when the hints of traffic whisper to the contrary) to preserve that honourable recollec tion of past services which are best befitting the reputa tion of a public character. The Hon. CHARLES VILLIERS although the Apostle of Free-Trade doctrines, at a time when to be a Free-Trader was to be a political outcast, was forgotten or depreciated in the more gaudy celebrity of some of the succeeding assailants of Protection. It can, therefore, be no marvel that the journal which was the organ of Free Trade during the same perilous and probationary period, which continued uninterruptedly to enunciate the views of the Free-Traders from the opening of the crusade against the selfishness of the upholders of the imposts upon foreign corn down to the moment when the victory was achieved under the leadership of Sir ROBERT PEEL, —it is scarcely surprising, we repeat, that if the first advocate of Free-Trade in Parliament is contemned, the first ad vocate of Free-Trade in the Press should be slighted. Especially if E. s. d. direct the enthusiasm of any man like the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Manchester in a totally opposite direction. ADIERIGO VEsruccl acquired all the credit of discovering the double continent of the western hemisphere. Mr. VILLIERS may rather congratulate himself upon being numbered in the same category with COLUMBUS. And we can console ourselves under similar circum stances with the remembered destinies of inventors, navigators, and politicians. lfnus seminat, alter metat —so says the old proverb, and the old proverb lies not in so saying. Conscious that no oversight has ever led, or ever can lead, in our instance, to ter giversation—sustained by the knowledge that no contumely or ingratitude has ever conduced, or can ever conduce, to the dereliction of our political prin ciples—we can afford to watch with indifference the ungracious treatment of men whose reputation we have assisted to disseminate, and whose views we have not shrunk from advocating in the hour of gloom and depression. There is a strong and general feeling throughout the entire country in favour of the immediate abo lition of the absurd and useless prohibitions against marriage with the sister or niece of a deceased wife. All classes are equally opposed to the impolitic res trictions. The staunchest Churchman objects as strongly as the enthusiastic Dissenter. Hundreds of beneficed clergymen have affixed their signatures along with those of Dissenting ministers, to petitions praying the Legislature to take the subject into its immediate consideration. Nothing more is required than that the attention of Parliament should be directed to a law which has totally failed to attain the objects for which it was enacted—which, in the emphatic words of the " Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state and operation of the law of marriage, as relating to the prohibited degrees of affinity, and to marriages solemnized abroad, or in the British colonies," " had not generally deterred parties from forming such con nexions." Nothing can be more injurious, in a public point of view, than any enactment calculated to bring any considerable body of the people into open and undisguised hostility to the law. This is more especially the case when those who are thus placed in the position of law-breakers are men "of unimpeachable character and religious habits," as the report of the Commissioners states many of those who have deliberately disregarded the restric tions imposed upon what they, in their consciences, believed to be a matter of social right, that was not only not forbidden by any Divine law, but was especially sanctioned and encouraged, nay, in some instances com manded. We say commanded advisedly—for we find, under the Jewish dispensation, a law, declaring that a man shall take to his wife the widow of his deceased brother, and it is universally acknow- ledged that there can be no reason alleged against the marriage with a deceased wife's sister that does not operate with additional force against the connexion with a brother's widow. We have long since shown that the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of Leviticus does not in the slight est degree appply to the question. That was only directed (at a period when poligamy was lawful) against such a marriage during the lifetime of the first wife. " Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to vex her . . . beside the other in her lifetime," were the words of the inspired Lawgiver, and it is palpable, that if the union was to be for bidden at all times, and under all circumstances, there would have been no limitation whatsoever. The addition of the latter words may, therefore, be adduced as the very strongest argument in favour of its validity, or, at least, that it is not in any degree malum in se, or opposed to the Divine law—the law of natural morality. And yet we find this very text relied on, and adduced by the bigots who, not satisfied with perfect religious freedom for themselves, would impose fetters on the consciences of others, who would deprive their brethren of that liberty which they so strenuously insist upon for themselves. There being, therefore, no Divine command, either directly or indirectly, prohibiting such marriages— there being no consanguinity which might prove injurious in a physical or ethnological point of view— no danger of the deterioration of the offspring, we contend that no man or body of men have a right to make restrictive laws, affecting the freedom of others, and depriving them of that social liberty which is the birthright of every free-born citizen. It has been said, that if the marriages were sanc- tioned and rendered perfectly legal some inconve nience might result—that unions might take place which are now prevented, and that second families might demand some portion of that care and atten tion which would otherwise be exclusively devoted to those who had been deprived of maternal solici tude and protection. Now we directly and unhe sitatingly join issue on this point. We contend that the social inconvenience is altogether on the other side—that the existing law occasions tenfold greater injury to the semi-orphans than would arise if there were no enactment whatsoever on the statute-book on the subject, and if all parties were allowed perfect free dom to act as they deemed fitting. There is no law whatsoever against second mar riages. " That courageous monogamist," Dr. PaimuosE," would scarcely obtain many followers at the present day. Second marriages will take place, in the great majority of instances, where a young and healthy man is deprived of the comfort and companionship of an affectionate spouse, more father father especi a ll y if t h ere are i n f an t c hildren requiring atten tion compelled could bestow d toea ; rn a support for 11 m ore especially if that which fh t no ro w a those child ren by .13 daily labour. These second marriages, if with a perfectra t s nger, * are proverbially unfortunate f or th e former chi ldren. They will be always regarded w i t h some degree of jealousy by their stepmother. If she has children of her own, she views them as intrud e r s upon the love she fancies should be exclusively lavished upon those dearest to herself. They are to a certain extent rivals—what is given to one must in some degree be withheld from the others, and invidious feelings are but too frequently excited in the father's mind, and in- juriouscomparisons instituted between the offenders and the more favoured—between the " IsnmsELs" and the " Islace The case is not much better if there should be no issue of the second marriage. The disappointed wife will probably entertain a feeling of envy against her more fortunate predecessor, and this will very naturally turn into an antipathy against her chil dren, la ho are regarded rather as the offspring of a favoured rival than as the children of a much loved husband. The condition of the unfortunate infants is sufficiently painful in either case. It is, however, less likely to be so if the person to whose care they were about to be confided had been nearly related to their deceased parent, and inclined to cherish them for her sake. Who would regard them more tenderly than her sister, who had learned to love them before she contemplated a mar riage with their father, and entering upon a closer relationship ? Now, the effect of the prohibition has been either to deprive the children of an aunt's care, or to force that aunt into an illicit connexion with their father—either to drive her from under his roof, or to bring about, if not marriage, at least cohabi tation. Which, then, is the most desirable, to have her the lawful and recognised wife of their father, or the despised victim ? In which case is she likely to regard them wiih greater affection ? In every point of view, then, the restriction is un just and impolitic. It is an unfair infringement upon natural liberty, without any possible benefit to any parties. It is a great moral and social evil, that should be redressed without a moment's delay. The pro. hibition should not only be removed with re spect to all future marriages of the kind, but all that have taken place since the passing of the 5 and 6 Will. IV., c. 54, should be forthwith legalised, so as to subject either of the parties to the penalties of bigamy if they should contract another marriage, and to ren der the offspring thereof perfectly legitimate. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL l4, IMO. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC In the ballot of Thursday, for the election of the members to compose the Council of State, in addition to the 20 elected on Wednesday, only six obtained the requisite majority, viz. :—MM. Jean Reynaud, Char ton, Perignon, Pons (de l'Herault), Legnier, and Frederick Cuvier. Another ballot for the 14 remain ing councillors is to take place. The Assembly then proceeded to discuss the bud get of the Minister of Finance, and rejected a propo sition for refunding the tax of 45 centimes by a majority of 514 to 119. The Assembly in their bureaux have appointed the Committee on the Bill, presented by the Government, for legalising the conduct of General CuArGAuNIaR in holding at the same time the command of the National Guards and that of the troops of the line stationed in Paris. The majority of the Committee are adverse to the Bill. Senor MONTANELLI, late a member of the Provi sional Government of the Tuscan Republic, has ar rived in Paris on a special mission. The Coustitutionnel says that it is reported that 18,000 Austrians are marching upon Tuscany. The National Guards of Paris gave a grand ban quet to the English visitors on Thursday night at the Salle Valentino. The proceedings were very cordial. M. JOBET, in proposing the health of the Queen of ENGLAND, said, " She was the first to come and take us by the hand." The toast was drank with great enthusiasm.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived. The Gavta publishes a telegraphic dispatch an nouncing the arrest of the Conde DR MONTEMOLINO. The Heraldo publishes a letter from Tolosa, of the 4th, which confirms the statement of the ex-King CHARLES ALBERT having signed in that town a formal renunciation of the Sardinian crown. This document was signed on the 3d, at an inn in the Calle del Correa, before M. FERMIN DB FURUNDA RONA, a notary, and in the presence of the Marquis CARLOS FERRERO DB LA MARMORA, Prince DE MASSERANO, first Aide-de-Camp to his Majesty ; the Count GUSTAVO PONZA, DE SAN MARTIN, Intendent- General ; Don ANTONIO VIC/INTS DE PARGA, Poli tical Chief of the province ; and of Don TAVIER DE DAttumaTEutt, Deputy-General of the same pro vince. CnattLia ALBERT subsequently declared in the presence of all that be freely and voluntarily rati fied the abdication which he made at Novara, in the night of the 23d March, in favour of his son. The declaration made and signed by the KING will be pre served in the office of the notary. An authentic copy was sent to Turin. GERIVIANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the Frankfort Parliament of the 11th inst. the following motion was made by M. KIERULF, and passed by a majority of 267 against 169 votes : " The Parliament, considering the contents of the re port of their deputation to Berlin, declares solemnly be fore the German nation, and protests hereby, viz.:— " 1. That they will not depart from the Charter of the Constitution of the Empire as resolved after the second reading of the same, and that they will abide by the electionary law. " 2. The Parliament will appoint a Committee of thirty members to examine the report of the deputation, and to propose the measures which it shall to them appear at to adopt for the execution of the above most solemn declaration and protest." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin of the 9th says :—" Our Go vernment clings, as it has always done, to the idea of a restricted federative state as the real future basis of Germany. What is meant by this is :—The Con federation of 1815 being maintained until modified by a European Congress with the consent of all the inte rested states, there shall be formed in the midst of the Confederation, on the model of the Zollverein, a politi cal union of such Governments of Germany as may please to enter it; this union having a common represen tation of the people, a Chamber of States diplomacy and army. The Parliament of the Union would repre sent the general interests of the Union, whilst the Chambers of the different States would only occupy themselves with the special affairs of their respec tive States. Another project is that the Represen tatives of the States adhering to the Union shall enter the Prussian Chambers. If the proposed union should be adopted, all the German States, with the exception of Austria, would be irresistibly drawn into it. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. We read in a letter from Vienna of the Bth :—"The reply of the King of Patina. to the Frankfort depu tation has created great sensation here, even in the political circles. It was expected that it would be more decidedly negative. But the Austrian Cabinet now sees that all serious resistance is im possible, without causing anarchy and civil war, and it will accordingly allow the King of Prtussu to place himself at the head of the new German Empire. It may, however, endeavour to form a league with the southern states of Germany. The EMPEROR has issued an ordonnance granting an am nesty to all persons under sentence for offences by the press, upon prosecutions commenced prior to 18th August, 1848, the last birth-day of his MAJESTY. The same ordonnance puts a stop to all prosecutions for similar offences anterior to that day." The letters from Hungary all confirm the accounts of the great successes of the Magyars. They have taken Szenta in Servia, and are now in a position to compel NUGENT to raise the siege of Peterwaradin ; at Morischa they defeated an Austrian division, compelling them to return with the loss of 400 men, leaving open the road to Neusatz to the victorious Magyars. They have also defeated the Imperialists at Losoncz, taking two companies pri soners, and retaining possession of the town. The 34th bulletin of the army was published at Vienna on the 9th. WINDISCHGRATE, of course, an nounces, in his usual pompous terms, a variety of victories gained over the Magyars, but he concludes with these ominous words :—" I am resolved not to attempt another forward movement, but to wait for reinforcements." He has concentrated his forces round Pesth. GRATZ, APRIL s.—The peaceful city of Grata has been threatened with a state of blockade, in a procla mation from the President of the country to the Na tional Guard, who, writing in the name of the Minis ter of the Interior, says—" That while the greatest confidence is reposed in the citizens, his Excellency, nevertheless, reckons upon the support of the Burger wehr ; for if events s hould lead to serious conflicts, and the Burgervvehr attempted to act a passive part, the c m it a y rtal w i ou l l a d wtr be at o o d n u c c e ed. declared , in a state of siege, and ---- DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

Four Danish frigates were tele graphed off Heligoland. Skirmishes between the out posts of the two armies are of daily occurrence.

A letter from Hamburgh of the 9th says that a contract will be immediately concluded by the Governments of Austria and Prussia, whereby the telegraphic commu nication from Berlin to Vienna, via Breslau and Ratibor, is restored. This communication is to be extended by lateral lines to Hamburgh and Croatia. The Austrian Government is also in treaty with the Saxon Govern ment respecting the restoration of telegraphic communi cation on the Bohemian Saxon Railway, and the exten sion of this line between Dresden and Prague, via Leipsic and Munich. COPENHAGEN.—The Minister of Marine, in his official communication respecting the loss of the Christian VIII. and the Gefion, adds that the steamers Hecht and Geyser have suffered severely. The Heels had two killed and six wounded. Another report of the Minister of War states that the frigate Hab fruen, Captain Petersen, afterwards supported by the 2d division of gunboats, under Lieutenant-Captain Van Dockum, dislodged the insurgents from a battery on the west side of the Eksensund on the 3d. The frigate received some shots in her hull. The gun-boats did not suffer. On the 3d, at eleven o'clock, Captain Holmfeldt went with the corvette Nagaden, and the third division of gun-boats, under Lieutenant-Captain Gottlieb, to Apen rade, which had been vacated by the enemy. The city was garrisoned by the Danes; one Jager was taken pri soner, and an entrenchment demolished. All the insur rectionary officials had left, taking with them the trea sury'chest, the archives, &c. Captain D. Holmfeldt has since been reinforced. It appears that the Danes occupied Apenrade for 24 hours only, during which time they committed great devastation, demolishing the strand batteries, &c. They then returned to their ships, and almost immediately after the city was re-occupied by the federal troops, who entered from various quarters. The Danes immediately commenced a cannonade from their gun-bolts against the southern part of the city, whereby the royal palace and many houses were se verely damaged. A slight skirmish took place at Ha dersleben, where the Danes were defeated. It appears that they were not aware that that city was again occu pied by the federal troops, and had merely landed a small body of men.

On Amsterdam bills were taken at 12.21 to and on Trieste and Vienna at 11 32 to 36. There has been rather a larger quantity of sugar sold this week, and at fuller prices, but coffee has continued dull, and also tea. Rice and saltpetre have been brisker. The Boston steamer takes out a further sum in bul lion, said to be 200,0001., but the amount is doubtful. To other parts, the shipments direct from London have this week been in silver coin and bars, 9,000 ounces to Rotterdam, 120,000 ounces to Calais, 24,500 ounces to Belgium, and 28,879 ounces to Hamburgh. The Foreign mails just arrived bring no later political news of importance. At Amsterdam, en the 12th, the Dutch Funds were again in favour; Spanish were very firm, and Mexican higher. Frankfort accounts of the 11th of April, quote the Austrian Five per Cents, at 761. The Assembly had taken a firm attitude in respect both to the German Emperor and the Danish questions, but whether it will be successful time will determine. Although the decrease in the bullion held by the Bank of England had an unfavourable effect at first, it was partly anticipated yesterday afternoon, and therefore wears off, being, in fact, more calculated to do good than harm. Consols have realised 92 to 924 for Trans fer, and 924 to 4 for Account. They ate now 924 4, and 924 4. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 46i. to 48s. premium, and India Bonds 625. to 645. premium. India Stick has been quoted 247. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 91i to 914, and the Three per Cents. 904 to 4. It is expected that upon the retura to town of Mr. Schneider, there will be an amicable arrangement come to upon the subject of the Mexican money, and that it may even be paid as part of a dividend, instead of a loan or advance. The Bonds are worth 294 to 304. Equa dor Stock is 34 4, and Grenade Bonds are 184. Spanish Five per Cents, have been 174 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 314 to 32, being firm. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 27i to 28k. The Railway Share Market has been rather weak this morning, the settlement being in progress. Mining Shares have been rather dull this week.

BRUSSELS, Arm 12.—The KING has pre sented his portrait to the city in token of his extreme satisfaction at the state of the city. A deputation waited on his MAJESTY on Monday last, to thank him for his gift, and also for the sum of 10,000 francs to be expended in the im provement of the Park. After the address had been presented by the Burgomaster, the KING enter e d int o familiar conversation with the members, and congra tulated both himself and the m on t h e very excellent spirit which prevails among the inhabitants, and the admirable example set by the capital t o o th er c iti es , during the late eventful crisis. It was remarked that the situation of the country was greatly ameliorated within the past year, and that the perfect tranquillity which was enjoyed must be attributed t o th e t h oroug h good sense and patriotism of the Belgian nation. ITALY. A letter from Turin of the 9th states that the Sardinian Government has answered the deputation of Genoa that if the town surrendered immediately an amnesty would be granted. Th e on l y excep ti ons would be 12 chiefs of the insurrection, all the military who have taken a part in it, and the individuals guilty of crimes against persons and property. In order to allow the municipality of Genoa time to con sider these conditions , the t erm o f t h e arm i st i ce i s i prorogued to the 10th. The Lombards who had ad vanced towards Genoa were still at Bobbio, and had not advanced. The letters and journals from Genoa, Rome, and N ap l es had not arr i ve d at Turin Tcainuoi s ith ny, e9th. The Nazione of Turin, of the 9tb, announces as certain the arrival at Genoa of the corps of Trailleurs, under the command of MANARA, to make common cause with the insurgents. The Opinione of Turin, of the 9th, announces that Chevalier BaUCE, commissioned by the Austrian Government to agree on the conditions of peace with Piedmont, has set out for Mil an . A letter from Milan, of the 6th instant, states that an inhabitant of the town of Mouza, in whose house some fire-arms had been discovered, had been tried by court-martial, convicted, and shot. SICILY. Letters from Naples state that FILANGIEEI com menced operations on the 28th by 'dispatching one column of troops from Messina in the direction of Palermo awl another in the direction of Catania. He himself proceeded by sea towards Catania. The only feat of arms the Neapolitans had as yet performed was the blowing up of an old castle at Torremina. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) TRIAL OF MR. DUFFY. DUBLIN, FRIDAY Evßrinia.—The evidence for the defendant was not brought to a conclusion until two o'clock P.M., after which the Solicitor-General pro ceeded to reply on the part of the Crown. From the advanced hour at which the Learned gentleman com menced his address, it is doubtful whether Mr. Justice Jackson will charge the jury this evening. At all events, there is scarcely a likelihood of the trial concluding to-night. It is reported this morning (ten o'clock) that eleven of the jury proceeded to the court on foot, while the twelfth man travelled from his hotel on a jaunting car, being thus for a time, and contrary to law, absent from his fellows. If this be true, doubts would arise as to the legality of any verdict under such circumstances. CORN MARKET.—We had a more animated market at our Corn Exchange to-day than for some time, and prices were paid for all descriptions of grain. wrwheat, o ld, 23 5 . t o 26 5 . 6d.; red ditto, 21 s . t o hi f t u e ll 255. ; barley, 13s. to 17s. 6d. ; oats, 10s. 6d. to 125.; oatmeal, Ils. to 12s. ; seconds flour, 14s. to 15s. ; Indian corn, per 480 lbs , 295. to 335. 6d. WEBSTER'S ROYAL RED 8008, APRIL, 1849.—The present edition of this Court and fashionable register is corrected up to the present month, and therefore records all the changes which have taken place since the commencement of the season. It is a mirror of the fashionable world, as it exists at the present moment. SALARIES IN PUBLIC OFFICES.—An official return, ordered to be printed on the 23d of March, exhibits an increase during the year 1848 of the number of persons employed in publio offices of 1,215, and a concurrent decrease of 360. The total increase of expenditure amounts to 65,0631., and the total diminution of the same to 88)/721. LAZGE HALLIBUT.—There was exhibited for sale in Mr. Anderson's fish shop, West George-street, on Saturday and }eaterday, the largest ballibut, probably, ever seen in Glasgow. It weighed very nearly 2001b5., and was in very fine condition. It was caught on the west coast. These fish are rarely caught so large as 1001bs., and one double that size was never bel9ro known thii market—North British Mail. Do.( W. Riding Union) 9 Do. (Preston & Wyre) 25 D 0 . 1,!
