We alluded yesterday to the extraordinary dispro portion that exists between the extent and population of the different constituencies which return Members to the Imperial Parliament—a disproportion so strik ing that it must be at once obvious to every unpre judiced person that some measure calculated to pro duce a greater equalization of the electoral districts is one of the reforms now most urgently required. It will be found that in England there is one borough Member for every 1,045 electors. But many of these boroughs contain numerous inhabitants and voters, which would entitle them to a far greater number of representatives than aro at present per mitted. 'Thus we find the city of London with no less than 19,064 registered electors, and containing a greater amount of wealth and intelligence than perhaps any portion of the civilised world, returning only four Members, and thus having 3.721 electors for each Member over and above the average number represented by each borough Member in this country. The metropolitan districts also exhibit an equally arge proportion of registered electors to the repre sentatives they are enabled to return to Parliament, there being no less than 83,062 voters electing sixteen Members, or nearly 5,191 electors for each Member; while the boroughs of Bridgnorth, Honiton, Harwich, Thetford, Stafford, Richmond (Yorkshire), Totnes, and Lymington, the aggregate electoral body of which amiunts to but 3,766, also return among them 16 Members, the average being one Member for every 235 voters. It therefore follows that a single voter in any of these latter boroughs po-sessea a much greater amount of "political power, and. is equivalent in the electoral scale to twenty-two of the merchants or traders of this great metropolis. near this, ye chi- ZerlS of London, and ask whether your chosen Memb:,r, the hea 1 of her NN-sty's Govern ment,__ can tairly refuse to a mend a syste m th at gives equal influence in the national legislation to the 252 erectors Harwieh and 1 hetford to that which is accorded to 19 064 of yourselves ! But these tacts, strange as they may appear. by no zieans exhibit this anomaly in the, strongest light or the moat striking aspect. On a close examination it will be Sound that of the 658 Members, an absolute majority, or 330 Members, are re• turned by a population of 3,127,000 persons, of whom 180,000 only are entitled to the elective fran chise ; while the minority of 328 are returned by a ppulation of '23,873,000 persons, of whom nearly 900,000 are registered electors. If, therefore, popu lation be taken as the test, the majority are chosen by less than one eighth of the entire community ; or if the number of voters be the point of comparison, by little more than one-sixth of the entire num ber; and as the Honourable Member for Montrose' justly remarke " that majority re presents all the smaller boroughs, and those under the influence of I. ndlords—the minority, the greater proportion of the counties and large cities." If property be taken as the basis, the disparity will not he less remarkable, for we find that the annual value of the rateable property represented by the "majority" is but 6,200,0001., while the value repre sented by the minority is 78,800 , 0001 , or, in other words, one-fourteenth of the whole rateable pro perty of the country can control and outvae the remaining thirteen-fourteenths. Is there not as great a necessity for a cotnprehensiv e and extensive measure of reform to effect an equit able alteration of such a system as there was for the disfranchisement of Gatton or Old Sarum, or the be * ."I he Question of the Irish Colleges sh , rtl) Stated; with some Observations on the Validity of the R. scripts relative to those Institutions. By Hunter Gordon, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn." Ridgway, Piccadilly : 1849. there was nobbely to couuterwork his machinations: for the Roman authorities pay no regard to the representa tions of Englishmen, considering Irish affairs to upper- Lain to the Irish only. Such were the reasons which induced Dr, McHale to proceed to• Rome, to which the cause was now evoked. To Rome he went ; and then there began a course of artifice, misrepresentation, concealment, and direct false hood, which has certainly not been equalled in the annals of the Apostolic See, since the time of the solicitations addressed to Clement VII. for and against the disso lution of Henry the Eighth's marriage with Catherine of Arragon. , In their appeal to the Cardinals, the first suggestion of Dr. Mcliale and his colleague was that to which a conclusive answer has already been given, that the English Government, in instituting these colleges, had a covert purpose of pro selytizing the Catholic mass, of erecting so many colleges of Protestant Propaganda. They affirmed that the principle of mixed education was part of the same scheme, and contrived for the same end; although they had never objected to it until disappointed in their demands. They assured the Cardi nals that this RAS an attempt on the part of the English Ministry to introduce into Ireland the same system of public education which had filled France with scepticism, Prussia with neology; well knowing all the white, that no provision is made in the French and German schools for the religious instruction of students, while one great object of this measure is to afford them private and do mestic education in religion, according to their faith, and that more effectually than could be supplied from the academic chair. They were not content to represent that portion of their brother prelates who support the colleges as the firebrands who were scattering divisions and anarchy in the Irish Church; they went so tar as to describe the provinces and dieceses of these prelates as the beats of civil war and rebellion; that the bishops thus acting, had lost all control and authority over their flocks, while the anti-collage dioceses remained submissive to their bishops; this statement heir g made in the face of the fact that Tipperary, which is within the Cashel Arch bishop's district (Dr. Slattery, a most intense anti-college prelate) was the battle field of the late rebellion. They studiously concealed the all-important fact that they themselves had at first recognised the necessity of a mixed system of education in the colleges, and that that system had worked well, and in direct antagonism to irreligion, in the national schools of Ireland during their twenty years' existence, under far less vigilant and 'efficient guarantees for the protection - of faith and morals, than are °tiered by the improved statutes of the colleges. " This mixed tissue of falsehood and absurdity was indited in a pamphlet in choice Italian, which was dili gently circulated both among the ten or twelve Car dinals (the Council of Propaganda) the judges of the case, and among all their advisers, the Irish officials at Rome. Availing themselves of the panic which pre vailed at that period of the civil disorders of Rome, they fastened on the fears of the Italian prelates, who were then apprehensive lest the Mammiani faction's threats to wrest or wring education from the Church constituted authorities she uld be carried into effect; and thus the domestic alarms of the Cardinali were easily converted into a lively sympathy with Ireland threatened with a like catastrophe! In order to decry mixed education, which was (heir main cbject, Drs. McHale and O'Hig gins represented the measure of the colleges as a con templated experiment about to be made on the Irish nation, instead of a legislative Act in certain pro gress of execution, thus leading the Cardinals to suppiise that their adverse decisions would annihilate that contingency. Again they assured the Cardinals that the dioceses of the anti-college bishops were the abodes of peace, that of the Archbishop Murray the scene of in - surreotion. In vain did a deputation from the same part of the 'Ash priesthood labour to disabuse the Council of the Satin d College; in vain did they present to their Eminences the statutes of the colleges, bearing on th, face of them the refutation o' the Archbishop's averments. The Roman mind, thus cajoled, and at such a crisis, easily arrived at the conclusion desired by Dr. McHale. The first t escript, condemnatory of the colleges, issued le due form, signed by Franconi, the Cardinal Prefect of Propaganda. And the Irish Archbishop returned from the capital of the Christian woild to his own desolate dome in, exulting in his victory not only over his brother prelates, but over the English Government, and made his triumphal entry into Titan, bearing aloft the rescript which he knew to be the firebrand of discord to his country. " A second attempt was subsequently made to satisfy the Cardinals of the glaring falsehood of some, and the absolute impossibility of other allegations contained in that most singular document, on which the rescript against the colleges issu. d. They agreed to reconsider their judgment. In so doing they again said, this is a local matter; we must consult local autho:ities; they saw nothing with their own eyes; they knew, and to this hour they know, nothing of their own knowledge; they never sought any better ground or rationale of decision than the bare fact that there was a majority of seventeen bishops to nine against the colleges. A second rescript followed, adhering to their first judgment. And thus the matter now stands." Mr. HUNTER GORDON then goes into a lengthened argument to prove that these rescripts, having been obtained by deceit and fraud, by the assertion of di rect falsehood and the suppression of truth, are null and void, according to the canons of the Roman Catholic Church, and are, therefore, not binding on Ro man Catholics ; and in our judgment he succeeds completely in proving his case. With this we, as Protestants, have nothing to do, but we quote This case as a proof that these Cardinals are either so stupidly prejudiced, and so utterly wanting in discrimination, as to be unable to distin guish truth from 'falsehood, or so bigotted and so corrupt as knowingly to accept falsehood as truth, and decide in favour of that' which they know to be false, if they think that such unjust decision will in any manner tend to their cs‘n private advantage. In either case they are unfit to be entrusted with power, and yet it is to restore the rule of these men that the Catholic Powers of Europe are in arms. 'TIDE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The delivery of the Message of the PRESIDENT has be.n again postponed, and this postponement has tended to induce persons to give credit to the rumours which have been circulated oc a split in the Cabinet. It is supposed that General CHANGARNIER, General RummEßEs, and M. DE FALLOUX will go out of office. In the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday, General CAFAIG NAC elected to sit for the department of the Lot, and M. DUFAURE for that of the Charente In ferieure, two add.tional vacancies are in consequence created in the representation of Paris. A discussion then arose on the validity of the electi ;n for the department of the Yonne, in which it was said the election had been influenced by M. LEON FAUCHER'S di-patch which had been sent, there countersigned by M. FERMI, the chef de Cabinet of M. LEON FAUCHER, and who was himself a candidate for•the representation. After MM. LEON FAUCHER and CREMIEUX had spoken the debate was adjourned. N. DE LESSEPS arrived in Paris yesterday morning. There is no doubt whatever as to the state of the mind of the unfortunate gentleman. It is said that orders have been sent to General OUDINOT to enter Rome at all risks, and even to bombard the city, should it be necessary. It is said that as soon as he shall be in possession of the city he is to appoint a Governmental Committee, composed of Romans, but placed under the protection of France (it is not said how the members are to be selected), under whose auspices a Constituent Assembly, elected by universal suffrage, will be convoked, which will have to determine whether the Roman Government is to be a republic or a monarchy, and whether the POPE is to be recalled, and upon what terms. There can be no doubt that an Assembly chosen under French protection will adopt French views ; so that this mode of leaving the affair to the choice of the people is a mere deb sion. We read in l' Ordre :—" A report was current yes ,erday, and accredited that, in pursuance of recent orders sent to General OUDINOT, the French troops had made an assault upon Rome and entered the city after a strong resistance. If this news had come officially, as was :said, by a telegraph dispatch, the Chamber would, nu doubt, have been made acquainted with it. Although therefore, this news is by no means improbable, we are not able to guarantee it. Other reports as to the attitude which the Austrian army was seeking to assume in Piedmont, and which are alarming for us, were also propagated yesterday, hut, we think, they should be listened to with extreme mistrust. It appears, unfortunately, to be Inure certain that our envoy at Rome, M. FERDINAND DE L,ESSEPS, whether f rom f a ti gue, t h e i n fl uence o f t h e climate, or agitation of mind, has been attacked with a brain fever in the midst of his efforts to fulfil his arduous mission." With respect to the hostileii attit u d e assume d by Austria, the Assemblee N a ohnao surprise, t N ati onals says, that it has learnt with sorrow, but wit h a t th e Cabinet of Vienna insists on the young DINIA giving up to it the Kin g of aAß the forts of C.,lii, of Pas-de-Seze, and even of Genoa, ot : pre text of a possible invasion of Italy b • the under_ 3 French. It adds, "We do not know if the pretext be true, but in any case France cannot suffer an occupation so near to her frontiers." It was considered among the best-informed in the PoSsesylioounng ,, political circles of Paris, that a war with Austria was imminent and inevitable. M. PIWUDLION was arrested on Tues da y evening at eight o'clock, just a fter hi• arrival by the Northern Railroad. He was re co g nised the moment he left the carriage, and was follo wed b y a p olice agent until he came e . oppositeihe o ai the e r b a t r h r e a i c l k declaredin the Ica o u bi‘oitt.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE Y, stow►►ig Members oil Birmingham and on Manchester? The absurdity is almost as striking as any that could have been adduced in the olden time, "when GEORGe the THIRD was King," and when the mere mention of reform was regarded as but little better than a species of treason, that should be repudiated with indignation by overwhelming majorities in both Howes of Parliament, if any rash wight should have the hardihood to mention a subject " so distasteful to ears polite.", In consequence, too, of the limited number of elec tors in the smaller boroughs, local influences still prevail in no less than 42 of the number sending no less than 69 Members to Parliament. It is true that the representation may not be openly sold in the market without shame or disguise, that there must be at least some appearance of consulting the wishes of the nominal electors, but still there are boroughmongers who can bring into the Le gislature partizans bound to act in obedience to their wishes, to vote in accordance with the instructions they may from time to time receive, and who must resign their seats if they waver for a moment, or exhibit symptoms of insubordination, or even hesitate to carry out the directions of their " Patron." If large additions were made to these still " rotten boroughs" from the surrounding dis tricts, this unconstitutional influence would be neu tralised and deprived of its worst features. We should not hear of Noble Lords " doing what they will with their own," or superciliously re jecting all appeals to their reason and justice. _ _ Although we must still deplore the largeness of the majority by which the just and reasonable demands of the people were rejected on the present occasion, there are still some encouraging circumstances perceptible that afford reasonable grounds for hope as to its future progress. Last year, when Mr. HUME brought forward , the _sub ject for the first time, no less - thin 351 recorded their votes against the motion. On Tuesday no less than 83 of these Honourable Gen tlemen were absent from the division. If they bad not sufficiently made up their minds to join the popular ranks, or to vote with the staunch and thoroughgoing reformers of Parliamentary abuses, they at least deemed it prudent to stay away, alai to remain neutral on the subject. This may eventually prove a discreet and judicious course for these parties, by which they may be enabled to appear with better grace on the hustings. The nation will, however, recollect the names of those who were faithful from the beginning, who supported the popular side ere yet it was taken up by the aspirants for office of any party. Their names will be chronicled in the hearts and enshrined in the memories of their countrymen, and we shall find various constituencies con tending for the honour of being represented by men who were among the earliest and most energetic supporters of the four great points of legislative reform. The large and overwhelming majorities that at first were recorded against the annual motion of the Hon.-CmaaLes PELHAM VIL LIERS, the honest and enthusiastic advocate of free and unrestricted trade, must not be forgotten. At first that distinguished patriot could scarcely obtain a patient and attentive audience, but gradually be enforced his views on the Government. Where underlings were in the former instance per mitted to take the burden of the debate on them selves, .the leaders of the Ministry were at length compelled to come forward, and to exhibit all their skill in answer to the simple truths which he enun ciated with such force and power. In the present instance we find the Premier and the Home Secre tary coming forward, and treating the subject as one worthy of their most strenuous exertions. This again affords good grounds of en couragement, and evinces a reasonable hope, that we shall within a few years find the cause of Parliamen tary Reform attaining a triumph as complete and unequivocal, as that whiCh, in 1846, attended the free• trade agitation -for the repeal of--the obnoxious taxes on a nation's food. The recently published pamphlet by Mr. HUNTER GORDON, of Lincoln's Inn,* on the subject of the Irish Colleges, furnishes an ample justification, if any such were needed, of the all but unanimous determi nation of the citizens of the Roman Republic never again to submit to that sacerdotal domination from which they have emancipated themselves. It is im possible to read this narrative of the proceedings of the spiritual governors of the Roman Catholic Church, who were, until the recent revolution, also temporal goverours of the Roman people, without being con vinced that an assemblage of men more unfitted to be entrusted with the administration of affairs the inge nuity of man could not devise than this same College of Cardinals, to whom it has pleased successive Pope) to confide for some ages past the exercise of the pontifizal power, spiritual and temporal. Our readers, no doubt, recollect the outcry witb which Sir ROBERT PEEL'S well considered proposal for establishing colleges for the benefit of seven mil lions or our Roman Catholic fellow-subjectS in Ire land, who had up tii - Thirptstitid — Ven destitute of academic educatiori, was received by the higcts of all parties. That Sir ROBERT. INGLIS should .denounne. it 'is a gigantic system of Godless education, ,could have be•en a matter of surprise to no one who was acquainted with the tactics which • Sig ROBERT IN GLIS h'as , adOpted since the day when he became the chose repreientative of the rampant bigotry of Ox ford. He ; as the representative of 'that anciel.t University, considered every proposition. for found ing any other academic establishment as an encroachment upon her. , monopoly = an attempt to set up an opposition shop, which would force her to reform her whole system, or deprive her of her students, and as to this term " God leis," that in the vocabUlary of Sir ROBEkT Irsolas is merely synonimous with Church of England-less, the Right Hon. Baronet, believing that none who do not subscribe to the Thirty-nine Articles can be other than Godless. At the opposition of Sir R. INGLIs no one therefore was surprised, but every right-thinking person of every sect was not only surprised, but dis gusted, at the unseemly and indecent opposition with which the proposal was met by certain firebrand pre lates of the Irish Roman Catholic Church. For some time the public was at a loss to account for this force opposition to a scheme, the principle of which had been admitted by those very Prelates in the case of the national schools for the poor. Mr. HUNTER GORDON, however, has enabled us by the well-timed publication of his pamphlet, to ascertain the fans et origo mall. These prelates are them selves interested in seminaries, from whichthe proposed new colleges would drain off the lay, and conse quently paying students. "It cannot be doubted," says Mr. HUNTER GORDON, "that the Anti-College warfare, now raging in Ireland, is mainly prompted by the apprehension of the Bishops, lest the new colleges drain their seminaries.

M r. CORDON thus describes the motives which induced Dr. McIIALE and his sup porters to evoke the question to Rome, and the man ner in which it was dealt with by those persons to whom the:Porz has confided the administration of his affairs : " The motives which determined. the malcentent pru e- lates to this course was V. ry powerful, and to unscrup lous minds, probably irresistible. The College ot Par pagenda is the d..partmen t to which the spiritual affairs ot Ireland belong in the Pontifical Administration There is a considerable body o f Irish priests at Wale', hrldireg and other influential situations, both in Propaganda and in other colleges : and of these, all, with hardly an exception, have long hes n, and still are, either openly and notoriously of th e faction of Dr. Mc Hale, or so passively submissive to hi , sway, as to be • quail) , subservient to his purposes. Now, it was from this b. dy of i.riests tha. the Roman authorities, who art in daily contact with them, derive whatever knowledge they p- , SSPB4 of the social and political condition of Ire land; the Irish priests stand ue'oie the cardinals as the representatives of the Irish hierarchy ; the only authen tic and intaitible expositor, of the internal concerns of Ireland. Dr. Mc El ale was wel: aware, that by tlitse means he had an unbounded sway over the Council of Propa ganda, and coil* as it were, with his own hand, work that forcible engine against the English Government. On the other hand, from their being no English mtnistr r at the court of Rome (a chasm in our diplomacy which has been r. greeted by some of the most eminent English statesine n, b , rai by Mr. Canting a , :d L rd Brougham), DENT of the Republic, declaring that, as the pupils of the Ecole des Arts et :116-iers of Argers, on June 3.1, disregarded all the rules of subordination and disci pline, and that, as such disorder cannot be tolerated without compromising the future welfare of the in.ti tution, the said school is dissolved. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce is to examine the facts, in order to gee what pupils ally be considered worthy hereafter to be again admitted to the school when re constituted. A proposition was distributed yesterday at the As • sembly, signed by MM. Betholon, J. Demontry, Rol land, Ronjat Lasteyras, Baudin, Rattier; Commis mire, Bio:thot, and Menant, demanding that a I'arlia tary inquiry be instituted into the facts connected with the late elections. They propose to have a Com mittee of 15 Members named in the Bureaux fur that purpose. Marshal BUGEADD was attacked with cholera on Tuesday. He was a little better yesterday. The following has been communicated to the journals from the Prefecture of the Seine : Ttzere has been an evident increase of mortality during the last three days; but its principal cause has been, not the reigning epidemy, as may have been sup posed, but the sudden and recessive heat, and the impru dent manner in which many persons have tried to cool themselves. Besides, several 'amities, thinking that the Mairies were closed on Sunday aft« moon, did not make their declarations of deaths until Monday morning, and, consequently, there was a great accumulation of funerals at one time. Already it has been ascertained that the number of deaths in several arrondissements has dimi nished; and this fact alone proves that the increase in mortality has been accidental, and gives hope that the number of deaths will speedily be reduced within the limits of the preceding days." M. DARII has been elected one of the Vice-Pre sidents of the Assembly in the room of M. DB TOCQUEYILLE. he Bureaux of the Assembly have resolved to adjourn the admission of the new members for Algeria, in consequence of the number of voters in their favour being below the legal number. The re-elections which have become necessary in consequence of double returns, and of the deaths of newly- elected members, are to take place on the 22d of July next. The bureaux have elected a Committee on the proposition for an amnesty. All the Members of the Connnittee are opposed •to the proposition on the ground that the measure is not seasonable, and that it is a question which ought to be left to the Ministers.

A letter from Madrid of the Ist says :—" It is said that the Catholic powers represented at Gaeta, Spain, Austria, and Naples, have protested against any ne• gotiation being carried on at Rome by M. DE Las SEPS without their participation. It is added that the instructions sent by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Spanish agent at Gaeta are very liberal."

BADEN, BAVARIA, AND THE PALATINATE. The Chamber of Deputies of Stuttgart, in one of its recent sittings, passed a vote of censure on the resolutions adoptkd at the great popular meeting held at Rentlingen. By these resolutions the Government was called on to intervene in support of the Baden insurrection, to oppose Prussia, &c. En the course of the debate in the Chamber, one of the Deputies de clared that the resolutions should be executed in spite or the Government. Extensive military precautions have been taken at Stuttgart. The troops of the Central Government of Germany having evacuated the town of Worms, the insurgents immediately re-entered it, and it is now in their possession. According to the Carlsruhe paper, the battle at flemsbach, on the Baden frontier, lasted from five, PM, till eight, and terminated with the retreat of both the contending parties. The Darmstadt paper itself admits also that a long engugtement ensued at Hemsbach, and that there were many critical mo ments ; it also adds, " We marched back into position." PRUSSIA. The German Reform says—" The eight corps of the Prussia❑ army are completely organized, so that Prussia has at this moment on foot 380,000 men, of whom 40,000 are cavalry; she has also 400 pieces of cannon. Two-thirds of the artillery are mounted on improved carriages, the rapidity in the movements of which has been established by trials. In a late manoeuvre pieces of 12 were removed with the same rapidity as those of 6, and made a German mile (equal to four English miles) in 36 minutes. General HERSCLIFELD has issued the following general order : " Coblentx, May 26. " On the 18th instant an insolent rabble bake into the Landivher armoury at Prum, and, under pretence of serving German unity, not only stole 206 firelocks and 107 pistols, but several suits of clothing. The com pany of Landwher belonging to Arum, when called out to , defend its depot, disobeyed, and, with few exeep tions, not only most cowardly shrunk from assisting their officers., but traitorously opened the doors to the robber rabble. Soldiers of the Line and Land war, you will look upon this disgr ace f u l an d b ase act (njeda triichtig) ju the same light as I d o . P u b l i c satis • which was called ending out for a month's duty, on the 24th of 'his month, shall rem •in ass em bl ed until further orders. o ta r c d t sr iot is l. d T u h e at to cowardly your just just i n di gnat i on. I, therefore, Company , ' 2. The judicial investigation of this scandal, already comwelicd, shall be continued with unflinching severity. It will mete out recompense to the guilty and to the well-deserving. 3. Fur this purpose, that company will be marched to a fortress, but without arms, which they know not how to carry with honour, or to defend, and of which they have renderei themselves unworthy. Non-commissioned and soldiers, the execution of this great chastisement will purify your col o ur s f rom t h e stain which a few cowardly traitors were not a s h ame d stohocw that such cast upon it. Irou will, as heretofor e , cont i nue to contemptible fellows are unworthy h-nceforth to be called your comrades. Long live the King - (Signed) " HERSCIIFELD, Lieut-General." AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Presse of Vienna states, on the authority of a letter from St. Petersburgh, that the Russian Minister of Finance has requested the house of RoTHSCHILD to raise a loan of 30,000,000 silver roubles. A letter from Vienna of the 31st ult. states that preparations were being made at the Imperial Palace for the reception of the Emperor of RUSSIA. Some of the Vienna journals of the 31st ult. state that the Hungarians have emissaries in several Aus trian provinces, ready at a proper opportunity to cause a republican movement. Several districts in Moravia have b,en declared in a state or siege. The Magyar Government has established revolu tionary commis,aries, with full powers, in the comi tats threatened by the enemy. In the districts dis tant from the seat of war regular tribunals and admi nistrative institutions are being organised. 'rue clergy of the different creeds are everywhere preach ing a crusade against the Russians. From the seat of war in the west the rumour which prevailed on the 31st ult. of a battle at Trentschin has confirmed. The Austrian troops engaged consisted of the corps of VOGEL and the brigade of 13ENEnEx ; while the Hungarian forces were the ad vanced guard under General DANNENBERG. The Austrians were put to flight, and were pursued down the Waag-teal by the Hungarian hussars, who made fearful havoc among the fugitives. A battle is also reported to have taken place at Raab. BEM has reached Orsowa, and issued a proclamation to the Servians. The news, therefore, that the Russians had reached Orsuwa un the 14th is, as we surmised, untrue. The news is confirmed that a large part of the Russian troop s i n w u n ac hi n and Moldavia had re tired across the Pruth. The Vienna press, not knowing a hat to make of this backward move of the great ally, ascribes it one while to a protest of the another to an energetic note from England ur France. A rumour prevailed that the Rwsi:lns had been defeated by DEmniNstir at Jordanow. It was added that the routed army lost all their baggage. The cholera makes daily greater ravages among the Aus , rian troops in Hungary. It bas broken out at Erlau. On the 17th ult., two Sardinian delegates were pre sented to Kosswra at Dehreczin. These had indeed no official character, but were commissioned by their' Government to pave the way to an alliance and com mercial connexion between the two countries. They pointed out especially how useful the Sardinian fleet might prove to the Hungarians on the Adriatic, if the Magyars should succeed in extending the rebellion to Fitme. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Schleswig• Holstein troops continue to work at throwing up the fortifications around Frederica, which is daily bombarded. Some Danes, who were taken prisoners by the Germans, assert that the fortress mutt have surrendered I , ,ng since if it had been attack d by the imperial troops, but that the defenders considered it tar too humiliating to sur render to the insurgents. All the male population of Frederica was compelled to remain there ; the women and children only were taken to Fuhnen. The latest intelligence from Stockholm, May 29, states that orders have been sent to Karls-Krone for the speedy equipment of several large ships of the line, independently of the flotilla which. is to be ready to run out to sea in the course of June. How far this may be connected with the Russian squad ron, which is to sail at the same time for Alsen, is uncertain. It appears that Denmark is at this moment in a fresh dilemma. The report has been current at Co penhagen within the last few days that the KING refused to sign the new liberal fundamental law be fore the termination of the war. The disturbance which this delay on the part of the KING will probably occasion can scarcely be calculated. People attribute it to Russian machinations, and connect it with the ex ptcted arrival of the GRAND DUKE, the heir apparent, for whose reception the necessary preparations are being made at Christianborg, as well as at Frederiks- ITAL Y. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 2d has intelligence from Rome to the 27th ult. The French had es tablished a besieging battery in a vineyard at Ponte Molle. It was said they would occupy Albano, Frascati, &c., to avoid the malaria. French troops continued to arrive at Civita Vecchia. The statues and marbles of the Villa Borghese have mostly been transported to St. Peter's. The pavillions - of the new villa Borghese are already pulled down. By a decree of the 2d the King of SARDINIA has granted a full amnesty for all political offences an. terior to that date committed in the island .of Sardinia. The Milan Gazette of the Ist states from Anemia that the Austrian detached naval division had an chored at Fiumicino, near Ancona, and concerted its operations with those of Lieutenant Marshal WIMP FFEN, who was on his march against the town. The Austrian war steamers several times approached within gun-shot of the batteries, and exchanged fire with them. On the Eight of the 26th ult. the Cur "latore approached the port and began its fire against the town, while a few shells were thrown into it from the land side. The forts and batteries responded with vigour. On the 27th the Venus frigate and Curta tore steamer recommenced the attack. The authori ties at Ancona gave up the hostages they had, among whom were Count MASTAI FERRETTI, a relation of his HOLINESS. They were taken on board the Bellona, Austrian frigate. The Presse of Vienna has the following from Milan, dated 24th ult. :—" The Commission ap pointed to assess and collect the war. taxes has seat into each province an officer of the staff accompanak by a civil functionary as secretary. The Commis sion seems to meet with great difficulties, because it appears that the asses-ments have been made s ithout any previous examination into the amounts of pro perties. Hence it has result-d that many persons have been called upon to pay more than they possess, and consequently their property has been confis cated, which, however, is forbidden by the Consti tution. Consequently, the a-sessments must be re duced, and the property sequestrated treated accord ingly. The question is whether purchasers will be found. If the large estates are parcelled out so as to be sold to the farmers in lots, they must be sold at such low prices that nothing will remain for the Government atter payment of the debts and the ex penses of measuring and litigation. The Princess BELGIOJOSO has sold her property to M. VICTOR CoNH1)1.11.414; at Paris, to escape confiscation. The French Government demands that the sale shall be declared valid, although it was not made before the ordinary tribunals, the country being at that time in a state of insurrection, and the tribunals closed. The sale was made regularly before the French authori ties. To these difficulties must be added that the execution of the measure often is met with a strong resistance; that troops have to be called out, as occurred a short time ago at San Angiolo, between Lodi and Pavia, and, more recently, two companies of the regiment of La Tour were obliged to set off for Bregenz." The Corriere Mercantile of the Ist states that the Austrians have seized all the forts of Florence; a military contribution of t wo m illi ons i s expected to be imposed. The city is nearly deserted. The Aus trians have retired from Pistoia. The following decree, dated the 20th ult., has been published at Flore nce , i n th e name of the GRAND DUKE :—" Art. 1. The decrees of the 25th of March and 17th of April, 1848, and the successive ordon• nance of the 25th of October of the same year, are revoked. Art. 2. The Tuscan State re-adopts the colours and cockade it had at the time of the pro mulgation of the statute, 15th of February, 1848." The Parma Gazette of the 30th publishes several decrees of the Ducal Commissioner, Baron STURMEIt. Among them is a decree granting an amnesty to all inferior functionaries and soldiers who belonged, before the revolution, t.) the Roy a l D ragoons an d other corps, who had deserted in March, 1848, and April, 1849.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. Cl7'Y, QUAIi i ER 7'o 711ItEE. The sales of Catton at Liverpool yesterday' were 20,000 bales, of which 9,000 were on speculation.

Ever and anon we are reminded of the disastrous remanet of the panic of 1847, and certainly few cases are more distressing than that which appears in another column of The Sun, under the head of the Bankruptcy Court. We allude to the matter of Melville, Cruik shanks, and Co. This firm began business with an ample capital, which in the lapse of about six or seven years was wholly lost, and without any imputation of recklessness against the partners, who traded cautiously, and drew scarcely anything out of the concern for private expenses. We point to this in proof of the gross inconsistency, and want of judgment on the part of those who advocate " protection. Under au artificial system, commerce is holstered up to the injury of the eenamunity, and ultimately, if a change of policy tak. s place, as it inevitably west. to the ruin of those who have nut made ample Fortunes and retired. Let us have trade, then, upon a sound natural basis. The proposition or information said to have been re ceived by the committee of Spanish American bond holders upon the subject of a general arrangement of the Mexican debt, has excited a good deal of attention and discussion among parties interested, as well as in the Stock Exchange, and there is as yet acme doubt as to the exact nature or them. We believe, however, that we can state correctly, in-general terms, enough to prevent misapprehension, and to corroborate what has before been advanced as to the fair intentions of the Mexican Government. Some months since it was mentioned, though not officially, that the Mexican Government were desirous of effecting a general arrangement of the debt, and, provided the bondholders would make some conces sion, of giving them still better security for the pay ment of the dividends. It would now appear that an offer in this sense has been made to Mr. Robertson, the agent of the bondholders, by the Minister of Finance at Mexico, and that there is a promise of a large amount of the indemnity money being set aside should a Three per Cent. Stock be accepted, provision being made, of course, for dividends in arrear. Mr. Robertson, it is said, negotiates for a Four per Cent. security. Now without entering further into this matter, we may remark that no one supposed Mexican Stock would pay five per cent., or the price in the market would ere this have been 60 or 70, instead of 30 to 34. Every Active Bond includes some arrears of dividend, and there is the temptation now of cash down with better security here- after. A morning contemporary, the _Herald, censures the committee of bondholders, who are said to have rsceived Mr. Robertson's letter on Tuesday site' noon by half-past three, for not having up to this day, communicated a word thereof to the bondholders at large, although the matter is whispered about privately, and speculated upon accordingly. Pro bably the committee may give some explanation upon this point. The English Funds are heavy and lower again, on account of the mail from Paris bringing no President's message, and in part also because of a Russian loan being expected. Certain it is that the great Petersburgh banker, Baron Stieglitz is in London, and that as Austria wants money, the operation might be intended indirectly to supply it.

This was a running down case, part-heard yesterday, Ln which the plaintiff sought to rtcovtr compensation for a serious injury he had sustained by being thrown ,ut of a chaise, thmugh the alleged careless driving of th, di t. ndant's servant. Mr. z-ergeant Biles and Mr. Miller appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins represented the defendant. The plaintiff, Mr. Jones, is a compositor in the office of the Dispatch, residing in Clerkenwell; and the de fendants are time merchants in a large way of business. , It apptared that Mr. England, a gentleman also connected with the Dispatch, was on the 21st August last the occasion in question, driving a four wheeled chaise, drawn by one horse, down to Woodford to see his child ren, who were staying there. He took three or four friends along with him, one of whom was the plaintiff, Mr. Jones. They were proceeding at a pace about six miles an hour, and had reached a bridge situate between Bow Church and the Bird-in•hand public-house, and were descending a declivity after crossing the bridge► when the driver of a lime-waggon belonging to the defendants going in the same di ection,, suddenly, as was alleged, whisked his horses across the road, which resulted in a collision with the chaise in which Mr. England and his friends were tra velling, and the consequence was that Mr. Jones; the plaintiff, was thrown out, and had three of his ribs an 4 his collar bone broken, and his shoulder blade fractured. He was afterwards confined to bed for three weeks, and unable to follow his calling for four months. It was proved that the plaintiff's salary was 5/. a week, and that while he was laid up by the injuries he had received he had to employ people to perform his work. His medical bill was 81. odd; and the action was now brought to recover compensation for the pain and agony which he bad suffered, for the loss of his time and salary, and for the medical expense he had been put to. There was the usual amount of conflicting evidence , which it would be useless to give in detail ; suffice it to say, that the witnesses of each of the litigants imputed the blame to the other. Mr. Justice WILLIABIS, in summing up the case, told the jury that the question was whether the accident WO owing to any misconduct on the part of the defendants or their servant. He c,,uld not help remarking that the man who drove the lime waggon had not been called, which was singular, inasmuch as he might have throw!' some light upon the cause of accident. Assuming that the plaintiff was entitled to recover, with respect to the • question of damages, the jury would say what they thought was a reasonable amount of money to compel' sate the plaintiff for the bodily suffering he had endured, and also for the loss of the money which he would hale earned if ho had not sustained the injury in question. The jury retired to consid , ,r their verdict, and on their return. at halt-p,st one o'clock, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1501.

The ATTORNEY said, all he bad got to say wa s 0, 1 defendant had admitted the debt, and only said that I S was a case which ought to have been taken into th e County Court. The UNDER-SHERIFF said, all that the jury bed t . 3 do was, to find for the amount claimed, if they believe" the evidence of the witness, which he saw no reason to doubt.
