' • I, , 4P LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1849, During the recent Parliamentary vacation an opportunity has been afforded our legislators of recruiting not only their physical, but their intellec tual ,and political strength, and of preparing them selves for the labours and difficulties of a session which promises to be one of extraordinary importance. Both the Ministerial party and the Opposition have found leisure to accumulate their resources, and to contrive schemes for the advancement of their more cherished principles. The different members of the Government, relieved for an interval from their diurnal cross-examination in the Lords and Commons, have been enabled to scan the situation of affairs in their several departments without a possibility of interruption. Sir GEORGE GREY has thus directed his attention to his numerous responsibilities as Home Secretary ; 'Viscount PALMERSTON to his as Foreign Secretary ; and Earl GREY to his as Secretary to the Colonies. Lord CLARENDON has continued to preside with increasing vigour and ma tured capacity over the destinies of Ire land; and Sir WILLIAM SomsaviLLE, in forwarding the views of the Lord Lieutenant, has found but little relaxation in the quietude of the recess. One of our most honourably distinguished Administrators has, during that interval, been sudd en ly summone d from the turmoils of Statesmanship to the solemn tran quillity of Death ; and Parliament, which was pro rogued with Lord AUCKLAND at th e h ea d o f t h e Board of Ad miralt y , is not re- o p ene d unt i l that im portant office has been entrusted to Sir Fitexcis BARING. C again, th e grace f u l, LTARLEs BILLER, the gay, the ga llant —one of the brightest ornaments of the popular Senate of England—has been ab rup tl y snatched from life since the closing of the Tw o Houses in Westminster : and a catastrophe of a more almost simultaneously appalling character character has 'prised the Protectionists of Lord Gsoucui BENTINCK. There will be many vac ant places in the Commons oven after this brief lapse of time, many voices, many features familiarized to us during long years (whe ther by wit, eloquence or eccentricity, matters not), will be missed to-morrow on the re -assembling of the representatives. Meanwhile the Prime Minister, after in vain attempting to i strengthen his Admin*s• tration by the proffered acceptance of the services of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, will have to struggle against a double Opposition, against an Opposition from the front and from the rear, against the Conservative Opposition of the Protectionists and against the Radical Opposition of the Financial Reformers. The position of the Cabinet is altogether, we must ac knowledge, one of sufficient difficulty. The Country Party is goaded to fresh exertions by the poignant feelings inspired by the consciousness of losing just at this period the last ves tiges of their adored monopoly. The p ar t y who are proceeding to the goal cf retrench ment, under the direction of Mr. COBDEN, are in like manner stimulated to additional enterprise by th e reluctant concessions already made by the Ministry in regard to the annual expenditure. Neither will consent to abate their efforts—the one impelled by feelings of despair, and the other by the most san guine expectations. Events of a remarkable kind have likewise tended to complicate the foreign policy of the Government during a vacation more than usually fruitful of occur rences. Lord PALMERsToN will have to prime him self with arguments on the nature of those negotia tions with the Court of Naples, in reference to the treatment of the Sicilians, which has recently been so THE SUN, elg•iregiously misrepresented, and which, in spite of the mi srepresentations of his antagonists, reflects more hi bnour upon the Foreign Secretary than almost That would not, however, have suited the views of his aristocratic friends, and he aban doned his proposition, because it would not be granted in the exact form that he desired, and he asserted that the nation was opposed to direct taxa tion. He must now be convinced of the fallacy of that opinion ; he must be aware that there is a general desire for a change in the entire system, and the substitution of direct, for indirect taxation. Let him be warned in time, for if he should refuse to make considerable concessions he cannot hope to retain his present position. _ . . We may claim for ourselves the credit of being among the earliest advocates of a great and compre hensive measure of financial reform. We pointed out the " propriety and Justice of direct taxation on property, in place of the present system, by which the weight of the enormous national debt is made to fall chiefly on those who should be wholly exempted from its operation ;" and we asserted "that the present system was not only unjust in principle, but impolitic in practice—not only inequitable, but inexpedient." On the Bth and 9th of June, 1847, and on several other days, we published a series of articles, proving that the interest of the National Debt., the 28,000,0001. sterling now paid by the indirect taxation of the people, should in equity be provided for by the imposition of a pro perty (not an income) tax; and we demon strated that a large proportion of the remaining charges would also be fairly chargeable upon the property, and not the industry of the country, as it is for the protection of that property and its more secure enjoyment that they are incurred. We also pointed out that the Excise and Customs' duties cost the consumers (upon whom the burden of any tax or impost must ultimately fall) fully 50 per cent. more than found its way into the national Exchequer—in other words, that there was an unnecessary increase of the national burdens by more than 15,000,000/. sterling. We subsequently impressed upon the several constituencies the propriety of taking advantage of the then forthcoming elections, and ob taining pledges from the several candidates on the all important subject. On the 21st of June, 1847, we used the following language :—" It is for the people !hemselves to say whether they will rest contented with the present state of things. A golden moment is at hand, an opportunity which suffered to escape may not again be afforded to them for seven long years. If they avail themselves thereof to the fullest extent of their power, a long course of happiness and pros perity is before them, but if they are negligent and apathetic—if they exercise their franchise without care or forethought, they will only have themselves to blame for the results, however painful they may be." That golden opportunity was, however, lost—our advice was disregarded. The question was not pressed upon the attention of the candidates. We had, however, the satisfaction of having performed our duty, and of finding that at ength combined and vigorous exertions are making ,hat must result in complete success. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Throughout the whole of Monday there was no disturbance whatever, although the appearance of the gay capital was from daybreak until the return of midnight a scene of excitement, anxiety, noise, and confusion, which at times appeared to augur the re vival of the terrific explosions of Revolution. After the rappel had been beaten early in the morning, the streets continued to be crowded with military armw ments. Cavalry, infantry, and artillery, appeared in all the boulevards and open spaces ; rations and am- munition were plentifully supplied to the soldiers; the whole city had the aspect of a camp, and the tumalt as of an opening campaign. Several of the shops in the larger thoroughfares were closed, and trade and traffic were both abandoned. By yes- terday (Tuesday) morning the excitement had wholly died away, and the Parisians were again busied in their ordinary avocations. The warlike demonstra tidn had altogether disappeared, and with it the effer vescence of the public passions. _ _ . Galignani's Alessenier gives the following nar rative of the occurrences of Monday : " We gave in our afternoon edition of yesterday an account of the rappel /laving twea thiatea in acreral parts of Paris for the convocation of the National Guards, and stated that up to two o'clock nothing had occurred to account for this sudden display of force. Our readers, however, will see by our report of the pro ceedings in the National Assembly, that it was caused by information which had reached the Government of an intention on the part of the enemies of order to take advantage of the insubordination of a portion of the Garde Mobile. The muster of the National Guards was not very nume rous until rather a late hour in the afternoon, when the object of the convocation having transpired, and the necessity of the precaution being appreciated, the number was considerably increased. A very large portion of the National Guards proceeded by order to the environs of the National Assembly, but large posts were stationed at other parts, and there were numerous patrols. The Ist legion, which had been ordered out to the gardens of the Tuileries in the early part of the day before the general rappel to receive their new colonel, General Gourgaud, remained the greater part of it. There was also a strong display of troops of the line. The 20th regiment occupied the court-yard of the National Assembly and the Place de Bourgogne. The 14th were at the end of the rue de l'Universiae, on the Esplanade; and the 2d regiment of dragoons was stationed at the gate of the house of the President. The 10th regiment of artillery, with its guns, and the Ist regiment of engineers, were in front of the National Assembly, and the 9th light infantry occupied the steps, and, with the 7th regiment, extended to the entrance of the Quai d'Orsay. The avenue of the Champs Elysees was guarded by a regiment of lancers. Two battalions of the Garde Mobile arrived from Conrbevoie and Saint Cloud, and took up a position in the Place de la Con corde. and in the rue Nationale. At one o'clock the President of the Republic, on horseback ; accompanied by General Changarnier, and followed by a few lancers, passed along the line of the National Guards and the troops of the line on the Boulevards, the Places de la Madeleine and la Concorde, and the environs of the Na tional Assembly. lie was everywhere well received, and was followed by an immense concourse of people, shouting,' Vice la Republique!' and Vire Napoleon!' mingled with cries of L'ananistie !' and A bas les Ministres!' Soon after five o'clock most of the National Guards were dismissed. Some of the artillery of the National Guard, on their return to their homes, shouted ‘Vive la Republique!' and Viva l'Assemble Nationale!' mixed with some cries of Vive la Montagne!' All the railroad stations were well guarded. Up to a late hour in the evening the public tranquillity remained entirely undisturbed.' Yesterday afternoon the following proclamation was posted on the walls of Paris : " Citizens of Paris,—We have called the National Guards under arms. We have called them in defence of social order, once more threatened by the same enemies who attacked it in the days of June. The projects of these men are not changed. They wish to prevent, at any cost, the establishment of a regular and honest Government. All they want is perpetual agitation, anarchy, destruction of all property, the overthrow of all principles. They earnestly hope to found the despotism of a minority by usurp ing, as a privilege, the common property, the sacred name of Republic. To give a colour to their revolt against the laws, they assert that we have violated the Constitution, and wish to destroy the Republican Government. This is a contemptible calumny. The Republic has no firmer supporters than they who seek to preserve it from those revolutionary excesses with which this form of government has been too much confounded. The President of the Republic has sworn to respect it, and to cause it to be respected; and he will keep his oath. His Ministers, in their past history, have left no man a right to suspect their future intentions; and they cannot give a stronger proof of their attachment to republican institutions than the energy with which they are determined to repress all disorder, however great may be its proportions. Inha bitants of Paris—it is not sufficient for society to be strong; it Must show its strength. Repose and security are to be had at this price alone. Let all good citizens second the Government in the repression of the dis turbances which agitate the public places. It is the Republic, it is society itself, it is the eternal bases of all power, that these perturbators bring into question. The triumph of order ought to be decisive and irrevocable. r ing order uecs Let every man d o hi s d uty, an d t h e G overnmen t w ill no t fail in doin g w h a t b e l ongs to i t. Mo bile The was following omLE ors issued FA yesterday te u oEr f d a, a tyhe bMinister General dayteoofe the r th alcu e Gard Ario Interior." e A :KIER : " 0 fficers, Sub-officers, and Volunteers of the Garde Mo bile—lf I were to believe your calumniato rs , you would allow yourselves to be governed by pernicious and in terested counsel. You would disturb the order which hitherto you have so intrepidly defended, and attack the Republic and the institutions placed under your safe guard, and society, which is proud of your success, and calls you its glorious children. In the name of the country, which we will defend cgainst all its enemies, listen to my voice, and repel these exciters to anarchy, who, in leading you to your ruin, would revenge th em . selves of your past glory. , Intelligence received from Paris relating to the proceedings in the National Assembly, after the de parture of the accounts published i n our Third Edition of last evening, inform us that the Chamber decided by a majority of 416 against 405 that the proposition of RATTEAU, fixing a day for the dissolution of the Assembly, should be read a second time. any of his brilliant and numerous achieve- tnents. Doubt and confusion still conceal from us the real situation of the Peninsula• Austrian absolutism, although reviving from its late subjugation, is covering itself with more and more Infamy by the cruelties inflicted on the Lombards by RIDETZIEY, and by the crimes perpetrated on the unfortunate Hungarians by WINDISCHGRATZ. Prus' sia aspires once more to dominate over the Germanic empire, through the investiture of her SOVEREIGN with the imperial dignity; while the rest of the Allemanian Confederation looks on with apathy at the conspiracies of the minions of FREDERICK WIL HELM. Of Italy —poor, distracted Italy—promising, until recently, to work out her regeneration, under the guidance of GIOBERTI the Lombard, of PETE the Neapolitan, and of MAMIANI the Ro man, and, under the blessing "of that GOD who" (according to the expression of the King of SARDINIA) "had given Pius IX. to the Italians !"—of Italy threatened with a threefold invasion, from the Germans, from the mercenaries of Naples, and from the military expedition of Spain— nothing propitious, everything disastrous, can be augured. CHARLES ALBERT at Alessandria, MAZZINI in Switzerland, the PONTIFF at Gaeta,—all are circum stances fraught with misery to the Italians. While such is the condition of the Roman Peninsula, Repub- lican France gives alarming evidence that the explo sive and inflammable materials of revolution were not exhausted either by the outbreaks of June or o February. Even under the command of a BONA rART.E, the people of that great country are indisposed to yield in the minutest particular to the insolent machinations of the reactionaires ; nor are they acting on:an erroneous principle in evincing this exquisite jea lousy of their popular prerogatives. Such are the most conspicuous events which have tended to modify or to confirm the foreign policy of PALMERSTON since the period when he was last badgered by the perti nacity of Mr. URQUaART and his fides Achates Mr. CnrsuoLM ANSTET. Of this the Noble Viscount may rest assured, that the increasing complication of his duties as a diplomatist will fail to inspire those implacable antagonists with any sentiments of gene. rosity, but that he will have to undergo a more violent onslaught than any to which he may hitherto have been subjected—his crimes comprising those blunders which ought by right to be legitimately fathered on the faineant ABERDEEN—such, for example, as the bungling proceedings at the River Plate. While, however, we would deprecate in the strongest manner possible the virulence of such personal attacks as those indulged in against Lord, PALMERSTON by the redoubtable Siamese to whom we have alluded, we would nevertheless express our satisfaction at that system which, through the medium of questions put in the House of Commons, enables the public to obtain some accu rate information with regard to the various proceedings of the Government. Except in a few instances, this arrangement -has proved only in the highest degree advantageous. And we doubt not that before many evenings have elapsed the ad vantage of the custom of Parliamentary interrogation will be more than ever demonstrable—from the question of Sicilian Intervention down to that of the Tooting cruelties ; from the pere grinations of Mr. TEMPLE to the mitigation of the punishment of Mr. O'BRIEN. Each of the more elevated Members of the Administration will discover before the official stenographers have written many pages to append to the voluminous records of HANSARD, that there is no dearth of problems relating to their various departments which stand in need of solution. And prior to the commencement of any important discussion, we are satisfied that consider able progress will be made in the disembarrassment of the Cabinet of many of those annoyances which may at present appear to be insurmountable. It is earnestly to be hoped, however, that, in addition to the fact of relieving themselves from many of their most pressing involvements, the Ministers are prepared to assume one of those bold and decisive courses which can alone secure to them the preservation of their popu larity. Half-measures, uncertainty, and dilatoriness, are alike becoming more than odious, they are be coming absolutely unendurable to the population. No Government can have the confidence of the nation which 'presumes to daily with the aspirations of the multitude. England does not look for such in decisiveness from the Government of Lord JOHN Rus- SELL. It expects from that Government the adoption of a course worthy in grandeur and completeness of the eminent statesmen whose genius and patriotism constitute the strength of the Government. Vast evils have to be remedied, and the population is re solved that the period of their removal shall not under any circumstances be longer procrastinated. Let the Cabinet recognise the imminence of this necessity and act in accordance with the dictates of their own intelligence. A great national movement is now taking place on the subject of financial reform. The people are thoroughly awakened to the injustice and impolicy of the present system of indirect taxation. Associations are springing up on every side, having for their object a more equitable adjustment of the public burdens. Persons of every creed and party, of every shade and variety of religious and political opinion, are uniting together for the purpose of zealous and cordial co-operation against the monster grievance that has for so long a period preyed upon . the industry of this country, and involved the work ing classes in the utmost difficulties and distress. There is no desire to repudiate the engagements of our forefathers, to break faith with the public creditor, or to impair or weaken the efficiency of our national establishments. The British people will gladly contribute all that may be required for the maintenance of the national integrity and the national safety ; they will not demand any changes derogatory to the honour or the dignity of the country ; but they insist that the sums which may be required for these purposes should be equitably assessed—that every man should contribute according to his means. Liverpool, the second town in this mighty empire , is taking the lead in this important movement. The National Financial Reform Association has laboured zealously and efficiently. The cry for eco nomy and retrenchment, and also for direct taxation, has gone forth, and will never cease until the Legislature has recognised the will of the sovereign people, and complied with their just demands. Another society has also sprung up, from whose proceedings we anticipate the most favourable results. The first annual general meeting of the members of the " National Confederation," for an equitable adjustment of the national and local taxa tion, which was held on Monday evening in the Music-hall, Bold-street, Liverpool, was moat nume rously and influentially attended. The report of the council to the members is a very able document, which we doubt not will have its due weight on those who are still holding back. The Confede ration was formed in December, 1847. In the following spring it took a decided part in stimulating the public to resist the demand of the CHANCELLOR of the ExcuxQUER for an additional tax, without any corresponding reduction. That attempt led to a closer examination of the existing system. It was felt that the property and income-tax, as it now stands the equal taxation of every descrip tion of income, whether arising from fixed sources , or from the precarious profits of unequal in ope principle—that, in fact, it was n—was ration and unjust professional and meirncanptriilnecim stood forth with a strange and wond utterly indefensible in eve r y particu e l r a f r u . l u T na h n e im Pr i e ty ss . All its mighty power was exerted on theoc a ca d si t o h n e . Article after article appeared day after day, n strongest manifestations took place in every district. The Ministry speedily discovered the folly of the united orc e the e p proceeding, th e y p erce i ve d how vain it was to attempt t obnoxious impost upon a determined an d pole ; recent events in other nations: had exhibited the po pu l ar power in some striking lights. They did not, therefore, persist in the attempt. If, however, the people were firm, the Minister of Fi nance was obstinate. Ile would not acknowledge that the universal resistance was chiefly attributable to the inequality and injustice of the income-tax. There would not hare been the slightest objection if the principle had been modified, and the capitaliza tion of income made tae basis of assessment. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN UARY 31, 1849, M. CLEMENT THOMAS is reported to be out of danger, from the effect of the wound received in his duel with M. COETLOGON, The Presse says :—" We believe that we can give the assurance that at three o'clock yesterday, M. MARRAST sent a proposition to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, as a means of insuring tranquillity, to with draw from General CHANG ARNIER the coaimand of the forces in Paris, in order to give it to General DE LAMORICIERE. This demand met with a formal refusal." A report was current yesterday that General CHANGARNIER had received a pistol-shot in his head. The Patric says :—" We have reason to believe that the General received a slight wound on the forehead, but that it was purely accidental." Several important arrests were made during the afternoon —amongst others, Colonel FORESTIER, of the 6th Legion of the National Guard of Paris, the principal leader of a Republican society, and a num ber of incendiary Socialists. In addition to these arrests several others were spoken of, and particu larly of some persons stating themselves to be mem bers of a Socialist committee in the rue Jean-Robert. Several persons, who in the groups had uttered vio lent language against the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Government, are said to have been arrested. A report was current that CAUSSIDIERE and Louts BLANC had been arrested. This report is not con firmed, and some persons who arrived yesterday from London state that they saw them there on Satur day last. Colonel FoREsTIER is said to have been seized because of a seditious speech addressed by him to his men. Among the other persons taken into custody is M. D'ALTON SHER, once the Peer and now the Republican Infidel of France. Now that the panic of Mondry has in some measure subsided, it would appear that the Ministry evidently contemplated the forcible dissolution of the Assembly, pretending, as an excuse for the demonstration, that the Garde Mobile was conspiring against the Go vernment. The failure of the whole of M. Ontr.oN BAP ROT'S own conspiracy was absolutely sublime. The Mo bile ranged therrrselves by the side of the troops of the line throughout Monday, tl-ereby proving the falsity of the accusation, and the National Assembly is still in existence! So much.for the wisdom, to say no thine; of the patriotism, of the Reactionaries. The National s•vy's:.--" Yesterday, towards mil day, the PRESIDENT of the Republic left the Elyse:; on horseback, dressed in the uniform of a general of the National Guard. Whz , rever he appeared the people (not those in his retinue, but the casual per sons encountered in the streets) greeted him with cries of Vice la President! Vine la Re publique! Vine l'Ainnestie! A bas les Ministres ! Some voices adding A bas Chank,rarnier ! A bas Pliers! M. Louis BONAPARTE may judge by these manifestations of the sentiments of the people towards himself and towards the political men by whom he is surrounded—men whose deplorable ad ministration tends to compromise him in the esti mation of the multitude." BOURSE.—PARIS, TUESDAY, JAN. 30. THREE o'accil.—The French Funds have risen to day, as might bo expected after the triumph of the Government in the division on the Rateau motion.

B.—AunAs PASHA appears to take a very correct view of the state of things in his new dominions, and to be anxious to place every thing on a right footing. Previous to his departure for Constantinople, he gave orders that the manu factories which were established on a large scale by his grandfather, after the model of those in England and France, should be reduced to a more limited extent. The number of scholars in the Government institutions is to be restricted, after a thorough examination, to such yowhs as give promise of being able to prof-it by the superior education which they there receive. In the army, also, he seems desirous to make improvements. There are new 30,000 very inferior troops in the service : of these he purposes retaining only 9,000; to have them tho roughly trained, to increase their pay, to give them better rations and clothing. ABBAS PASHA has also provisionally relinquished the monopoly to which MEHEMET ALI subjected the produce of Abyssinian Suden, and which was most shamefully carried out by the Turkish authorities. This is therefore an immense advantage to trade. It is so generally expected that this immunity will be permanent, that several merchants have already gone to those countries for the purpose of trafficing in gum, senna, gold, ele phants' teeth, &c. This freedom of trade will be of great importance to Germany, for in conse quence of the direct communication bAween Egypt and Trieste, it can immediately exchange the manu factures of Austria, which are valued in the Suden, Abyssinia, and for the rich productions of Central Africa. M. BORCLIALEgI, who was sent to those countries two years since by the Trieste Bourse Com mittee, has collected much invaluable information on trade and commerce. He is now about to return home. IRELAND. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—There was a meet ing at Kihnainbam to-day, convened by Lord Bra bazon, at which forty magistrates of the county of Dublin were present, for the purpose of considering the present Poor-law. With one exception the whole body condemned the system root and branch. Notwithstanding the near approlch of the let of February, there is but little change in the prices of grain. This day there was an improved demand for all descriptions of grain at our Corn Exchange, and at rather higher rates. Wheat Gd., and oats and barley 3d. to Gd. dearer than on Friday. Orders have reached Dublin from the Horse Guards suspending all recruiting ; the recruiting parties to be immediately called in. Is is supposed that in future the duties will be discharged by the enrolloi pensioners. The weather continues dreadfully severe, stormy, wet, and intensely cold. Prices of provisions, however, unaffected, and the markets are extremely low. ARRIVAL OF THE COURT AT BUCKINGHAM PALAcE.—Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite arrived this morning by special train at the Padding ton terminus of the Great Western Railway, and immediately proceeded in four of the royal carriages to Buckingham Palace ; the escort consisted of a detachment of the llth Light Dragoons (Hussars). A Privy Council was held this afternoon, at which the Royal Speech to be delivered to-morrow cn the opening of Parliament was submitted to her Majesty. :MILITARY MOVEN' ENTS.-The head-quarters of the 64th Regiment embarked at Cork in the ship Java on the 23d, and a division in the Tulloch Castle on the 20th inst., for Bombay, aryl have sailed for their desti nation. The ships City of Poonah, Cotfield. Dudbrook, and Diana, having each a division of the 70th Regiment o❑ board, sailed on the 20th and 23t1 inst. from Cork for Bengal. The ship Bombay. with a division of the 84th Foot on board, sailed from Cork on the 17th instant for Bombay. The head-quarters of the 99th Foot landed at Hobart Town from Sydney on the 12th of July last. Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Gardiner, family, and staff, embarked yesterday at Southampton in the Oriental steamer Montrose for Gibraltar, of which for tress he has been some time appointed the Governor. PORTSMOUTH . GARRISON.—The old Government- house at Portsmouth, formerly the residence of the Major-General commanding the district, situate in St. Thomas's-street, is now occupied as a temporary hospital for the soldiers in that garrison. A detachment of twe officers and 50 men of the Ist battalion of the 91st Foot are under orders to embark at Woolwich on the sth proximo as a convict guard at Bermuda, proceeding thence t.c. tho Cava of (....I.lnci Napa to 31,111 tho ro.nr v. battalion. The situation of garrison surgeon has be come vacant by the demise of Mr. Chaldecot. This ap pointment will not be filled up. THE DAUGHTER OF A LIBERATED SLAVE.—... Among the audience at the anti-slavery meeting in this citj on last Thursday week was Miss Crowther, the daughter of the Rev. Samuel Crowther, the converted native African, who has been ordained by the Lord Bishop of London, and is now engaged in extending the knowledge of the Gospel in his or, n country of Abbeo kuta. Miss Crowther, who is also a native of Africa, felt perhaps a greater interest in the proceedings than even the warmest British advocates of the anti slavery cause, her father having been rescued from a slave ship by one of the British cruizers, to which event is owing his present career of usefulness to his countrymen and the Church. On leaving the meeting Miss Crowther energetically expressed to those who had conducted her thither her satisfaction at what she had heard, and only regretted that she could not tell the meeting how grate ful she felt to the English people for what they had done and urged them to renewed exertions in so good a cause. —Devonshire Chronicle. _ _ . MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 91 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.39; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.37 i-, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.101, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in Ham burgh than in London. THE RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH GLEN _ TILT.— Another action has been raised in the Court of Session in connexion with the right of the public to a road through the Duke of Atholl's forest of Gle❑ Tilt. The present action is brought by the three complainers in a former case, and is in the shape of an application for suspension and interdict to have the Duke of Atholl pro hibited from disturbing and molesting them in using the public road from Blair Atholl through Glen Tilt to Braemar. The complainers are—Mr. A. Torrie, Aber deen; Mr. it Cox, writer to the Signet, Edinburgh; and Mr. C. Law, merchant, Perth; and the case came on for hearing before Lord Robertson, in the Bill Chamber of the Court of Session, on Friday and Saturday. The counsel for the complainers were the Lord• Advocate, Mr. Inglis, and Mr. J. H. Burton; and the Dean of Faculty and Mr. Paton for the Duke of Atholl. The case was further adjourned till Thursday next, when the Duke is to lodge written defences in answer to the mass of documents put in on the side of the com- plainers. TIIE CROPS IN IRELAND.—Brairds of winter grain _ look well and vigorous, the season of the year considered. Bere particularly looks prosperous; this grain is much depended upon, from the very large return in meal that it yields, no grain coming so near our old friend the po tato, as human food. Wheat looks well also, and a con siderable breadth is sown. Potatoes are keeping well through the winter, and many intelligent farmers are calculating upon having their crop all in the ground early in March. From the experience of past years they are going to adopt this plan, and should we be again vi sited by blight in August next (which we earnestly hope may not be the case), the crop will be far on to ma turity then, and less danger is done to forward crops than to those soft and growing. We would again urge upon our farmer friends the necessity of procuring a piece of bog or mountain land for their potatoes, if con venient, but on no account plant in rich loamy ground, highly manured. The fresher such ground is the better chance, but in either case, whether fresh or worn, the chance of a sound crop on such land is not good.—Ar mugh Guardian. THE ARCTIC ExrEDmori.—Since the appearance of the paragraph announcing the Herald's fruitless search for Sir John Franklin's expedition, news has been received at the Admiralty from Captain Kellett, of the Herald, confirming the report of his not having fallen in with the Plover, which ship was bound in search of the missing expedition, and so far the Herald had failed in her desired object; but it was hardly under any circum stances to have been expected that the Herald with her instructions could herself have fallen in with Sir John Franklin's expedition.— Times. EREATUM.—A line was omitted by accident in our second leading article of yesterdly, which occasioned an apparent blunder in the number of post-captains. We stated, " this is in addition to 95 retired captains who are in receipt of 1/. per diem, and of 37 in receipt of 18s. per diem, making in all 100." It should have been-- "This is in addition to 95 retired captains who are in receipt of 1/. per diem, and of 37 in receipt of 18s. per diem, making in all 132, who arc eventually to be reduced to 100." How TO SPLIT PAPER.—Procure two rollers or cylinders of glass, or amber rosin or metallic amalgam, strongly excite them by the well-known means, so as to produce the attraction of cohesion, and then with pres sure pass the paper between the toilers. One half will adhere to the under roller and the other to the upper roller, and the split will be perfect. Cease the excitation and remove each part. No CHANGE IN THE CORN-LAW.—In reference to the statements in the Lonpon Protectionist papers that Ministers intend to propose a si. duty on corn, we have the best authority for affirming that there is not the slightest foundation for such rumours. Lord John Russell, we understand, has declared his intention to abide by the Corn - law measure of 1846 in a i till its n tegrity.—Mancliester Examiner. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was- ac tive, and fuller prices were paid. Sales, 12,000 bales.— Railway Shares also were rather higher. The accounts received from Paris have inspired a better feeling here, and the view we took as to the pro bable temporary character of the depression is already receiving satisfactory confirmation. Much, however. depends up in the future course of Louis Napoleon and the firmness of his Ministers. In the Produce' Markets there has been a very firm tone this vveek. Sugar has been at fully previous rates. Coffee is rather more offered to day. The corn trade is looking decidedly better this morning. There is some complaint of the small diviclends paid by the Banks in Canada, and the losses which one esta blishment sustained last year, but allowance must cer tainly be made for the badness of the times, and it is hoped more success will attend the operations of the several companies during the current year. At the United Mexican mine meeting to-day a divi dend of 7s. 6d. per share has been declared, and a most favourable report has been made. The gates of the Royal Exphange, usually closed on the day of King Charles's martyrdom at twelve o'clock, against the thoroughfare only, were, by mistake, shut both yesterday and on Monday, a curious example of erroneous reckoning that has excited some amusement on 'Change. There has been a buoyant market for Public Securi ties, the business being for transfer principally. Consols have ranged from 91i to 911, and are now 91H. Bank Stock is 193. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 921 to 1. Exchequer-bills have realised 42 to 45 and 48 prem., according to date. The foreign securities are also looking up. Spanish Three per Cents. have been 271 to 28. Mexican are 25 to 26. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 49k, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 27. In Railway Shares there is an improvement, with a fair business doing. The French lines are better The following comparison of prices may be interesting:— Dec. 29. Jan. 31.

Several additional cases of cholera have occured in the barracks. From the 21st to the 25th of January there were in the garrison hospital 7 cases, 5 of which proved fatal, and 2 recovered ; total in that hospital since commencement on the 29th December, 60 cases, 32 deaths, and 4 under treatment. In the military hospital and artillery barracks no fresh cases were reported, 6 were under treatment at the last returns, 3 recovered, and 3 died. In the Aula one soldier was attacked on the 20th, and died ; three cases have since occurred there, and have been rontoved' Go the garrison nopital. Total number of cases of investigated cholera, 67; deaths, 35 ; recoveries, 27 ; under treatment, 5 ; on the 20th, when the temperature suddenly changed, the first case of real Asiatic cholera, in its worst form, appeared, and since then 14 cases of the most virulent kind have taken place. The Board of Health, in their visits among the poor, have ascertained that these cases occurred in the most neglected districts, where the people were sunk in the most squalid poverty, and were, more over, addicted to drinking. The Board immediately gave orders for the tho rough cleansing and draining of those places; for an adequate supply of fresh water, of warm clothing, and good food for the poor. Medical assistance is always at hand, and the medicines and attendance are given gratis. His Majesty the EMPEROR, by a royal ordinance, dated the 19th, has appointed Privy Councillor and Chamberlain FRANCIS Count COLLOREDO WALLSEE to be his Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Great Britain. The Grand Duke MICHAEL has sent a compli mentary letter to the regiment called after him at Lemberg. VIENNA, JAN. 26.—The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th contains the investigation of the punishments of three persons by the Imperial Central Committee of In vestigation. JOSEPH PLANK'S sentence was commuted to five years hard labour at the fortification in light irons ; ANDREAS, KERSCHDORF, HEINRICH, MONOS CHEW, Grenadiers in the Imperial service were sentenced to be shot; this sentence was executed this morning. The prohibition for the exportatian of money is, by an order from the Government, extended to re mittances from Hungary, Croatia, and Transylvania. It is said that the Ban JELLACHICH is to be created Duke of Syrmien.—Harnburgh Borsenhalle. Accounts from Hungary mention the total disband ment of the army of KOSSUTH. The Commander in-Chief is said to have fled, and is expected to be heard of before long, either in Paris or Dresden. PRUSSIA. By reference to our accounts from Frankfort it will be perceived that the Prussian Government has issued a diplomatic paper, advancing the claims of FREDERICK WILLIEW4 to be invested with the im perial purple. The Artful Dodger of Sans Souci is of course excessively eulogistic in his allusions to the Central Parliament and Central Government. The system of lying is carried on even in refer ence to unfortunate Denmark. Accounts of the most erroneous character are promulgated as to the in cursion of Danish troops beyond the frontiers of Schleswig, when the truth is, that the only sincerity that has been evinced since the first signing of the armistice, has been on the side of Denmark. Fresh negotiations are spoken of as likely to extend the armistice now on the eve of expiration. FRANKFORT. Adrices from the Imperial city to the 27th contain little news of importance beyond the following : " Reports have been circulated at Frankfort, that the Prussian Cabinet was about to issue a note or circu lar to all its diplomatic agents, containing a dis tinct expose of its views and intentions relative to the important question of German centrality. The Journal de Frankfort of the 22d or 23d alludes to this subject, and states that the King of Prussia has announced his intention of accepting the dig nity of Supreme Chief (oberhauptswurde), even should Austria refuse its assent. The reports in question are true. A circular dated the 23d, and signed by Count Billow, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, ha s boon dispatched to all Prussian diplomatic agents, with directions to communicate its contents to the Govern naents to which they are accredited. The circular, which is said to be extrem el y long, . gives a full and complete expose of the views and policy intended to be pursued by Prussia, in so far as depends upon the will and power of the Crown a nd Government." ITALY. M. Montanelli, "Minister of Foreign Affairs, pre sented to the Tuscan Pa rliament, o n t h e 23 d , the following project of d ecree :—We, Leopold IL, Grand Duke of Tuscany , &c., after consulting our Council of Ministers, have resolved to present the following Bill to the Legislature:-1. Timany shall se nd 37 Deputies to the National Italian Assembly. 2. The Deputies shall to elected by direct universal suffrage. 3. Every Tuscan citizen, 21 years of age, and enjoying civil rights, is an elector. 4. Every Italian citizen, 25 years of age, is eligible. 5. The Deputies shall receive a co mpetent indemnity. 6. The forms of the election and the period of the convoca tion of the electoral colleges shall be determined by a special law." RADETZKY had removed his head-quarters to Crema, where he will, no doubt, gratify the popula tion by a renewal of his butcheries and extortions. Do. New 40/. ... 34 Do.
