Leave to bring in a measure of singular importance was last evening demanded of the Commons by the Under- Secretary of the Colonies. According to the explanation of the projected Act given by Mr. H AvvE3 , it will, if carried into effect, bring about a very considerable improvement in the government of Australia. Even Mr. GLADSTONE, though averse to many of the projected alterations of the Administra tion, could not but acknowledge that the Bill alto gether gave considerable promise of an advance in our colonial legislation. At a period when, otherwise, the Cabinet indicates a disposition not very far removed from that of administrative stagnation, such a measure as the one here explained by the Under- Secretary of the Colonies cannot but be most welcome to the community at large and in an,especial manner to the inhabitants of Australia. Of such objections as the one raised by the Hon. Gentleman the representative of Christchurch we shall make no account whatever. That a mea sure of this description is in any degree prema ture is altogether beyond the credence of those :who have studied the rise and progress of our most interesting settlement—in itself almost a con fluent. The only fact which is more conspicuous than another, on the face of such an improvement, is, that so far from being premature, the scheme has been a gre7t deal too long procrastinated. Never:holess, in stead of wrangling over the tardiness or the precipi tation of the measure, it is the interest of every well wisher of our Australian Colonies to push forward the project without any further delay, so that the present generation may reap-the =advantages of the change as spOilily as is practicable. As to the t precise nature of the plan proposed by the ruling. Government nothing further remains to be said in explanation after the lucid and admirable speech delivered last night by the Honourable Mem ber for Kinsale—a speech which conveyed not only a very clear notion of the general characteristics of the measure, but which also, without incumbering the attention with too many details, unfolded in several particulars the minutiae of its working. To speak briefly and to the purpose, we may observe that the changes would effectually bestow upon Australia the blessings of a new Constitution ; and this Constitu tion would be rendered one not only well adapt: d to the present exigencies of the colony, but would in like manner be capable of adapting itself to the variations of its own growth and expansion. With a power situated in the heart of the old world, such a capacity to change with the changes that may occur, is wholly essential to the stability of its fortunes. How much more, therefore, with a country in which everything is youthful—is not only youth ful—is literally nascent ! There the pliability of the governing force is more than ever requisite. There provision must be made, not merely for the wants already visible, but for those which have not rendered themselves perceptible even in the germ. To effect this the most readily, we must necessarily have recourse to the popular form of government—the Representative System ; and to that system, conse quently, the measure is especially directed. Each of the separate colonies of Australia will be empowered, by the Bill about to be introduced by Mr. HAwEs, to elect certain members of a General Assembly for the whole Union—an assembly similar in character to our own Parliament, possessing an immediate control over the civil list (of course excepting in this instance the salaries of the Judges and of the Governor), and otherwise limited to objects affecting the collective interests of all the Austrian colo nies—namely, of New South Wales, of Van Diemen's Land, of Southern Australia, of Western Australia, and of Port Philip, which will be transformed by the Bill into a distinct colony under the title of Victoria. Beyond this the new Constitution will tend in another way very materially to advance the interests of the entire population by linking together what is at present divided ; in other words, by "creating a federal union for all the colonies." Here, therefore, is a wide vista of improvements suddenly opened to our view, and in the direction, moreover, of the most remarkable of all the possessions of Great Britain ! Whether or not the scheme of the Russell Cabinet in reference to Australia shall receive the cordial ap proval of Parliament, it must be quite manifest to the community at large that in projecting any change of the kind the Government is labouring forward, upon one point at least, in the right direction. At the same time we cannot fail to recognize that, upon several particulars, the proposed arrangement re quires the most explicit explication. For instance, there was much truth in the remark made last evening by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford, that it was essential for the well being of the colony and for the general advantage of the whole British empire that some satisfactory con. elusion should be arrived at as to whether the Aus tralian Legislature should consist of a single or a double Chamber. There is too much correctness, we admit, in the answer made to this observation by the Prime Minister, namely, that heretofore the system of a double Chamber has been found to work very badly in all our American colonies. Nevertheless, the fact that a double Legislature has not worked well with the Canadians is not an adequate reason of itself why it should not be conferred upon the Australians. The matter requires the serious scrutiny of both Houses before the British Parliament can arrive with safety at any permanent determination. Now that leave has been granted to bring in the measure an opportunity will be afforded the Legislature of subjecting the Bill to the most elaborate scrutiny; and when the subject comes regu larly under the consideration of the Commons, the members of the Administration will be enabled to explain themselves more at length as to the details of the new Australian Constitution. Whatever decision may be come to by the Lords and the Commons, the Administration has at length exonerated itself from the charge of being unconquer ably apathetic in regard to the most fruitful and ill-cultured of all our colonial possessions. The third reading of the Incumbered Estates (Ire land) Bill was carried last night by an overwhelming majority of 105, out of 129 Members present—twelve persons only having recorded their votes against the measure. It will therefore speedily become the law of the land, and Ireland may at length obtain the blessings of a solvent and unembarrassed proprietary. The natural results will undoubtedly follow. Capital will flow into the country, the soil will be fully and fairly cultivated, the natural capabilities of the island duly developed, and its first great want, adequately and fairly remunerated employment for the labouring population, completely supplied. Although many causes tended to produce the misery and dis tress that has unquestionably existed throughout the entire country, none perhaps operated more injuri ously than the condition in which landed property was held on the other side of St. George's Channel. There was a complicated system of entails and limi tations that prevented the free transfer of real estates from those who were unable, by reason of their pecuniary embarrassments, to discharge the duties incidental to the possession thereof, to others better qualified for that purpose, to men both able and willing to carry out permanent and lasting improvements alike beneficial to the owners, the occupiers, and the labouring population. The no minal proprietor had no power to effect real im provements, neither was it his interest to do so even if possessed of separate and independent fortune. He was tied down as to the leases he might he disposed to give, and could only let his land subject to certain conditions, which prevented him from obtaining a solvent and improving tenantry. No allowance whatsoever could be made for improve ments, however valuable. The interests of his younger children were altogether opposed to those of the heir and successor : the latter would be placed in a situation of comparative affluence, while his less favoured brethren, brought up and educated as gen tlemen, in the enjoyment of every comfort and luxury, would be reduced to poverty on the death of their father. Whatever could be set aside after providing for the annual expenditure would of course be ap plied for the benefit of those who possessed equal claims upon the heart of a parent, with the future head of the family. If money were available it would not be expended in increasing the value of the estate, which, under the most unfavourable circum stances that formerly existed, or until within the last few years it was supposed could have existed, would still afford a competent provision for the eldest son. But it would be wasted, in order to swell the attenuated portion of the junior branches. If changes or incumbrances affecting the estate were paid off by the tenant for hfe, they were never what was termed in law " satisfied" or discharged, but merely assigned to trustees for the benefit of the party, in order that they might still survive against the estate, when the tenant in tail got into possession. Stich was the state of affairs even in the rare and exceptional cases of the owner being perfectly free from pecu niary embarrassments and enabled to save a considerable portion of his annual income, and it must be obvious that no improvements could be effected. The welfare and prosperity of the pre sent generation were sacrificed, in order to gratify family pride, and to keep the representative and head of the house a great man—the inheritor of a large estate. But matters were a thousand times worse in the more ordinary event of the party en teriag oa the possession of a property sub ject _to several charges and incumbrances. The condition of such a person was really pitiable. , He was expected to maintain a high position in the district, to suit his expenditure rather to the nominal rental of his widespread domains than to the actual surplus available for his own purposes. Improvements of course were wholly out of the ques tion. Tenants were screwed to the utmost to obtain the promise of rents that could never be paid out of the profits of the lands. There was a gradually increasing deficiency, year after year, between the receipts and outgoings which, more hibernico, was supplied by raising new loans, which being only secured upon the life estate, and premiums of insur ance being added, were necessarily effected at an ex orbitant rate. Once entered upon the borrowing sy stem, the career became rapid indeed. For a short time the interest might be paid with SOIE e degree of punctuality; but sooner or later default would take place. Bills were then filed in Chancery by the exasperated cre ditors, every device was resorted to to retard the proceedings, which occasioned an enormous amount of costs, and at length a receiver would be applied for and obtained, and the lands would pass into the hands THE SUN, LONDON, of the worst possible managers—the officers of the Court of Chancery. Then, indeed, arrears would accumulate ; tenants that would pay their landlord, if enabled to do so, would try, by, every means in their power, to put off the receiver, well aware that former good conduct, the improvement of the lands, the punctual settlement of the rent account, would constitute no claim to obtain a renewal at a letting under the Court. The occu piers would industriously seek to impoverish the land, or what is termed in Ireland " to break its heart," in order that others might not be tempted to take it over their beads, and they generally, we may say invariably, succeeded but too well. The receiver was wholly uninterested in the matter, provided the rents were paid with something like punctuality ; he cared little for the proper cultivation of the soil, the due succes sion of crops, or even for the collection of rents, provided he did not make himself per sonally responsible for default. His object was rather to make himself popular among the tenantry, and to obtain the presents and emoluments that are generally bestowed upon "the agent," if he will accept them under such circumstances. The deteriorated condition of the property placed in " Chancery," and the demoralization that prevailed in the locality, may be more easily conceived than described. Distress and destitution existed among the people, and all parties interested—landlords, tenants, and incumbrancers were alike injured. The effect of the new Bill will be to bring estates so circumstanced to a speedy sale—to set aside the cumbrous formalities, the tedious and expensive technicalities that now prevent a sale of the lands. It will confer a clear and unquestion able title on the purchaser—a title springing from a " new root," with a Parliamentary guarantee. The value of the lands will be materially improved, not only by the certainty but also by the simplicity of the new title; the interests of all persons concerned will be promoted because Parliament, for the first time has had the courage to shake off the trammels and prejudices that have heretofore impeded beneficial legislation on this all-important subject. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They all comment on the recent Ministerial com binations. The National considers the acceptance of office by M. DUFAURE as a sort of betrayal of the moderate Republican parry. The Constitutionnel cannot disguise its ill-humour at the exclusion from the Ministry of Marshal BUGEAUD, whose mission, had he obtained a seat in the Cabinet, it would have been by wheedling the PRESIDENT, and alternately bullying, and intriguing against his colleagues, to prepare the way for the accession to office of M. TRIERS. We are not, therefore, surprised to find the Constitutionnel thus giving vent to the feelings of disappointment under which its tricky patron labours : "We have not yet much to say about the new Minis try. What strikes us is that Marshal Bugeaud forms no part of it. We regret it profoundly. No one in our opinion answered better the double necessity of the situa tion which may be expressed by two words—assistance and resistance. With Marshal Bugeaud the Cabinet would have acquired additional force. We should not havo had any observation to make on the personnel of the Cabinet, if it were not that what has passed with regard to the election of President of the Chamber reveals a tendency OR the part of a certain portion of the Moderate party to create fur itself a distinct position. This fact having taken place, it is not easy to avoid remarking that the Ministry has taken the greatest part of its Members out of the smallest fraction of the majority. In this sense it is the Ministry of a minority; it is a Ministry determined by the elections of Pais, but not by the eLc dons of all France." The Debats waits for the Ministerial programme before passing judgment on its policy. The programme was to have been produced in the sitting of yesterday, but in consequence of the objec tions taken by MM. DUFAURE and DE TOCQUEVILLE to one part of the Message in which it is declared that the French troops shall enter Rome bon gre mal gre, the presentation of the Message has been post poned ; and a Cabinet Council was held yesterday, at which, after high words had passed among the Ministers, it was agreed to modify the objectionable passage, so as to meet the views of MM. DUFAURE and DE TOCQUEVILLE. There were rumours, how ever, rife in Paris last evening of a break-up of the new Cabinet. The Message, it is said, gives a complete exposi tion of the present social and political situation of the French Republic, and recommends the adoption of measures for improving the condition of the labouring classes, at the same time that it advises the immediate passing of severe measures of repres• sion of the liberty of meeting, of speech, and of the press. M. D'ANDRE, the chef de Cabinet to M. DnouYN DE LHUYS, has been appointed Minister Plenipoten tiary at Dresden ; and M. REMIIARDT, the present Minister at Dresden, is appointed Minister at Swit zerland, in the place of General TDIAR3, who has resigned. The exposition of national industry and of the productions, both manufacturing and agricultural, of France, was opened yesterday. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, JUNE 4. THREE O'CLOCK.—The Funds opened today at no less than 1, per cent. above the closing prices of Satur day; but upon its becoming known that the President's Message had bsen postponed because the Ministers could not agree on the paragraph respecting the expedition to Rome, they immed►ately gave way, and closed at nearly Saturday's prices.

The Prussian Official Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes a new electoral law for Prussia. The fol lowing are its principal provisions : " Sec. 1. The representatives of the two Chambers will be elected by direct electors, in direct circles (wahl begirken), and the direct by indirect electors (uncillilern) in circles for indirect election. " Secs. 5,6, 7. A wahlmann will be elected for each 250 souls, and when parishes do not contain the requi site number, two or more will be united to complete the minimum amount of 750 souls. The circles are then to be divided into thirds, each of which will elect one wahlmann or direct elector. " Secs. 8, 9. All independent Prussians not vde ri ed of rights of citizenship by legal sentence, and who may have resided six months in any given parish, are enti to vote as um:Ater (indirect elector), providing he be not in the receipt of public charitable relief. The standing army and landwehr shall vote wherever they be quartered, without regard to duration of sojourn. They will also be collected, if possible, in circles of 750. "Sec. 10. The unviihlur will be divided into three classes, according to the amount of direct taxes paid by each, so that a third of the collective sum of direct taxes will be apportioned to each class. This collec tive sum will be calculated according to parishes, when they constitute an electoral circle, or according to dis tricts where the electoral circle is composed of several parishes united. In case of individuals paying no direct Government tax, they may be rated according to the amount of direct parish contributions. "Sec. 12. The three sections will consist of-1, Those paying the highest direct taxes; 2. Those paying the largest quota after the former; and 3. Those paying the smallest sum. To this latter class will belong all those who do not pay direct taxes—that is, those who are entitled to vote by paying parish or provincial rates. "Sec. 18. Electors enjoy their priviliges during the whole duration of the legislative period for which repre sentatives are elected. " Sec. 29. All Prussians are eligible to become re presentatives who have completed their thirtieth year, have not been deprived of rights of citizenship by legal sentence, and who have lived one year within the Prus sian territory. " Sec. 31. When a representative is elected he must declare whether he accepts or not, at once and without reserve. Conditional acceptance is not permitted. The total number of deputies to be elected amounts to 320. The elections for direct electors are to take place on the 17th of July. The Chambers are to meet upon the 7th of August." During the course of the Whitsun holidays there were several disturbances in the neighbourhood of Berlin; the unarmed citizens were, in many instances, attacked by the drunken soldiery with their side arms, and many of them were killed. SAXON Y. On the 31st ult. the KING addressed a proclama tion to his people, in which he sets forth the reasons that induced him to refuse to acknowledge the con stitution adopted by the National Assembly at Frank fort. the MAJESTY thought that, on the one hand it was not of a nature to establish on a durable br.i; t h e h a ppiness of the p eo p le of Germany, an d: on the other, that it never could be put in force,seein g that Prussia, the most powerful of the German States, had rejected it. The National A emrae te of on the th s e ec o o b n s d erv r a ea ti d o i n i s g o . f necessary,lthtewSaoseve rejected the principle of concert; it declined ssembly SOVEREIGN at d tl e le lib ti then, to adopt another mode of the deliberations which have proceeding.bocefn constitution promulgated this day Is the result of between the Plenipotentiaries Government and those of Prussia is MAJESTY'S This constitution varies from . and Hanover. that adopted by the b. held a t B seen lil,itne National Assembly in one point only, that it organizes a power in the empire of a stronger nature, and determines more perfectly the rights possessed by each particular state as regards the rest; it satisfies the desire of his MAJESTY t 3 reconcile the unity of Germany with the free move ments of individual states which are successively de veloped in the course of an age. This constitution imposes great sacrifices on his MAJESTY, from which it will be manifest that it was not from any selfish feeling that he rejected the constitution of Frankfort. The KING gives his assent to the new constitution, reserving expressly that it must have the assent of the Chambers. This document is signed " FREDERICK AUGUS TUS," and countersigned by his MAJESTY'S Ministers. It is dated from Konigitein. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Austrian garrison of Buda, consisting of 2,200 men and 80 officers, have been sent as prisoners to Debreczin. GORG EY'S dispatch announcing the victory was couched in three words—" Hurrah I Buda ! , Gorgey !" The answer sent back was—" The thanks of the Re public to the Field-Marshal Lieutenant !" It is sup posed that the National Government will now adjourn to Pesth. _ The fortifications of Buda are to be destroyed. The Hungarians found in Buda the following stores : —B3 field pieces, 1,400 muskets, as many hundred weight of powder, and 2,000 cwt. of saltpetre, the whole of which have been transferred t o D e b recz i n .

The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500 American for export and on spe culation.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business done; prices, however, have an upward tendency. The remainder of the account: by the Overland ex press have been received today, and are favourable on the whole, though the news from China is rather ominous, and leads to the fear that a collision must occur when the gates of Canton are to be opened to foreigners. The steamer from Halifax has arrived. The money market at New York was buoyant, and the exchange on London firm at 1081 to 1084. A local journalist ob serves:-- " It appears from the records of the Commissioners of Emigration that nearly thirty thousand immigrants from Europe have arrived at this port alone, during the past three months of the present year. This single fact will enable those who have not paid minute atten tion to the subject, to judge of the ♦ast accessions v.lich are now made to the population and industrial resources of the United State, from foreign sources. Ireland contributes the largest proportion of this influx of physical wealth. From a table compiled from the records of the Commissioners of Emigration it appears that the immigration during the first three months of the last year and the present, from the prin• cipal nations of Europe, was as follows :- 1848. 1849. ... 9,414 18,589 ~. 2,005 3,346 Ireland England Germany ... 2,774 3,631 France ... ..• 399 280 The navigation-laws are now to be considered in the light of a fait accompli, but it must be interesting to cite instances of approval in the colonies. At a meet ing held in Canada resolutions were passed to the effect that : " Inasmuch as the restrictions imposed upon us by these laws and the partial closing of the St. Lawrence against foreign vessels, prove, in their effects, most detri mental to the commerce and to the essential interests of the Province; it is therefore the opinion of this meet ing, that the people of this colony have a just claim upon the mother country to he relieved from those one rous restrictions. " That this meeting, from further experience acquired in the season just closed, see the most powerful reasons to reiterate what was urged by their fellow-citizens at the public meeting already referred to, viz:— " That there is the strongest ground for apprehension, should the British navigation-laws (so far as they affect this province) continue in force atter the protection to Canadian grain and flour in Great Britain is with drawn, that the bulk of the produce, both of the western States and of Canada West, will be sent to ports of the United States for shipment, notwithstanding the superior advantages in economy of transport which the internal communications of Canada possess, but which arc fully counterbalanced by the greater cheapness of ocean freight in the United States, and that the navigation-laws will thus be ren dered inoperative as regards their main object, that of protection to British shipping, whilst they will exercise a most baneful influence alike over that portion of our revenue derived from public works, and over the intes rests of every individual connected with the trade and commerce of the country. " That this meeting have duly considered the Bill To Amend the Laws in force for the Encouragement of British Shipping and Navigation, prepared and brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Bernal, Mr. Labou chero, and Lord John Russell, and ordered to be printed on the 16th August last ;' and al though they desire to refrain from any ex pression of opinion with regard to the merits of the so far as they affect the general interests of the empire; yet, conceiving that it fully meets the wants and just claims of the province, inasmuch as it proposes is leave us free to employ foreign or British vessels, at our option, in ou' commerce with the United Kingdom and other nations, and to concede to the provincial Legislature the power to regulate our coasting trade, and inland navigation, as it may deem best tor the general good, hail the measure in this latter sense with satisfaction, and trust that the urgency of our case will be duly appreciated by her Majesty's Government, and the Imperial Parliament, this meeting being convinced that the provisions of the Bill, so far as they relate to Canada, are indispensable for the restora tion of prosperity to this colony."

By the desire of Austria, B avar i a should protest against the intervention of Prussia n the Palatinate. Couriers bearing this mes sage were sent off last night. Ki ng M AXI .. MILI AN, it is said, has received an auto graph letter from the King of PRUiSIA, which stated the necessity of harmony with the plans of Prussia. Movements of the Austrian troops have taken place in the province of Selzburg as far as Brigance. It is expected that the Austrians, combined with the Bava rians, will interfere in the Palatinate, and in the Grand Duchy of Baden.—Allqemeine Zeitung. ITALY. The Roman Triumvirate has ordered all the goods of the King of NAPLES in the Roman territories to be sequestrated and sold, and the produce to be paid towards repairing the injuries inflicted on Roman citizens, and in order to prove to Europe and the world that the Roman Republic is actuated solely by a desire to secure her own liberties, and not by am bitious motives; tho Triumvirate have prohibited the Roman troops from penetrating into the Neapolitan territory. GainnALDl, however, continues on the Neapolitan frontier (his head-quarters are at Terra cina) in order to prevent any fresh invasion by King Bomna, who, it appears, in his flight from Velletri, narrowly escaped being made prisoner. Verily, the pet of the POPE hath, like his master, been chastened of late. On the morning of the 24th May M. DE LESSEPS addressed a letter from the French camp to the Roman Assembly, in which he expresses his readiness to continue communications with the Assembly, the dispatches from which may be forwarded to him, and will have his prompt and immediate reply. He then repeats what he had said in his former letter that the French Government had no wish or intention to force any particular form of government on the Roman people, nor was it their object to restore the past state of thi ngs i n it s or i g inal vigour. The only object he declares was to preserve the Roman people from whatever dangers might threaten them from other quarters, and to protect their laws and their liberty. He also denies that it was even the intention of the French commander, in the event of his entering Rome, to punish those foreigners and Frenchmen who had fought on the side of the Romans, who would be considered end treated completely as Romans. M. MAZZINI has replied, in a very long and ela borate epistle to the dispatch of M. DE LEssEps, but of which the pith and meaning appear to be summed up in the concluding passages, which are as follow : " The great point at issue is the occupation of Rome, for that demand forms the first acid paramount condition of all the propositions hitherto presented. " Now, Sir, we have already hat the honour of tell• ing you that that is impossible — the peop le will never consent to it. If the occupation of th e capital is only meant for its protection, the people will be grateful to you; but they will say, that, capable . of protecting Rome by their own forces, they think it would be to dis honour to themselves to admit a few regiments of French soldiers to assist them. If the wished-for occupation should bo a mere political idea, the people who have given themselves free institutions will not submit to it. Rome is their capital, their palladium, their holy city. They consider that the result of foreign occupation would inevitably be civil war, and foresee that once foreign troops were admitted, changes both in men and institutions would fellow which would be dis astrous to their liberty. They know that in presence of foreign bayonets, the independence of their Assembly and of their Government would be nothing more than vain words. They see what has already taken place at Civita Vecchia, and dread a similar result. Their decision is irrevocable on this point. " There is, therefore, only three parts for France to perform in the Roman States. She must declare her self either for us, or against us, or neutral. To declare for us, she must formally recognise our republic, and fight by our side against the Austrians. To declare against us would be to crush, without any motive, the liberty and the nationality of a friendly people, and to fight on the side of the Austrians. The latter part France cannot adopt. She cannot either risk an European war to de fend us as an ally. Let her, therefore, remain neutral: that is all we ask. The occupation of Civita Vecchia is un felt accompli ; be it so. Let her keep it, and let her even extend her cantonments in the healthy part of the country, but lot her be strictly neutral, without any arrierc pensee. Let her not close the ports against the arrival of any allies who would COlllO to our assistance. Let her remove all sign of her troops from before our walls, and let even the appearance or all hostilities cease between two nations who are doubtless intended to be one day united in the same international belief as they are now by the adoption of the same form of govern ment." The latest intelligence from Civita Vecchia states, that the armistice had terminated, and that the French were preparing again to attack Rome. The French force amounted to 25,000 men, and they had sent some heavy artillery up the Tiber. The attack on Rome was to be made on three points, but as the city was strongly barricaded, and was defended by 80,000 men, the result was consi dered extremely doubtful. Ancona still held out, according to the last account. The Austrians at Leghorn and Bologna amuse themselves by making a human &attic in the streets, wherever two persons are seen together they are at once shot down. The Cabinet of Turin his refused to accede to the demands of Austria for the delivery to RADETZIIY of all her fortresses on the French frontier, and of the city of Genoa. Will France support the King of SARDINIA in this refusal ? The answer must be doubtful so long as N. DE FALLoux continues a member of the French Cabinet. The Piedniontese Gazette contains the following ordinance:— "The amnesty that we granted by our decree of the Bth April last, on account of the insurrection of Genoa, will be extended to all those who, adhering to that in surrection, committed political crimes even out of Genoa before that amnesty was proclaimed. It is especially extendel to the authors and accomplices in the insur rectional movement of Levici, Recco, and Chiavari. " Turin, May 26." " By the KING. The Monitore of Florence of the 27th of May, pub lishes the following list of the new Tuscan Ministry : Leonido Landucci—lnterior. Coo 3ar Capoquadri—Justice. Andrea del Prineipi Corsina—Foreign Affairs. M azzei — Ecclesiastical Affairs. The Marquis Bomella—Public Instruction. Count de Langier—War. .The first ac t o f the new M i n i s t ry was t o re place the tricolour flag by the standard of Tuscany.

GSSSETT V. VIVIAN. The further arguments in this part heard case occu pied his Lordship, the Master of the Rolls, the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) Petitions, motions, and causes of no general interest occupied his Honoue the Vico-Chancellor of England the whole day. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) THORNDIKE V. HUNT. The further arguments on this case occupied the Court the whole day. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) WARING V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN. COLNSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL concluded his reply in this case to-day, which came before the Court upon a de murrer put in by the defendants to the plaintiff's bill. The plaintiff, in March, 1847, contracted with the de feudants to furnish the works which should be required for a portion of their railway, near Sheffield; and by the terms of the contract the works were to be completed on or before the Ist October, 1848, to the satisfaction of the company's engineer. It was also provided that time should be of the essence of the contract, and that, on failure by the plaintiff to complete the works at the time specified, he should pay 1501. a day until such time as the engineer of the company should certify that the works were properly completed; and the company were also , empowered, in that event, on giving fourteen days notice to the plaintiff, to enter upon and take possession of the works and complete them at the expense of the plaintiff. The bill stated that as the company were un able to provide funds to the plaintiff for carrying on the works at the times and in the instalments specified in the contract, the engineer had directed the plaintiff to pro ceed more slowly with the works than they were re quired to do by the contract, and that after the plaintiff had complied with such request, the company had never theless put in force the power reserved to them in the contract to take possession of the plaintiff's works. lbe bill prayed an injunction to restrain the defendants froul so doing, and that they might be decreed specifically 10 perform the contract. To this bill a ueneral demurrer was put in for want of equity. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL and Mr. OSBORNE, for the demurrer, contended that the relief sought was purely legal, and that the bill did not allege that the engineer had acted by the direction of the company. Mr. WOOD and Mr. ERSKINE for the plaintiff argued that the extension of the time allowed for the comple tion of the contract amounted to a waiver of the clause of forfeiture. His HoNouß, at the conclusion of the Solicitor-Gene ral's reply, intimated his impression to be against the demurrer, but he would not finally decide the case till to-morrow, in order that he might have an opportunity of looking into the cases that had been referred to in the course of the argument. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE DAVIS-OUTLAWRY. This bankrupt was described as of Lawrence-lane' City, and at Burton Mills, Leicestershire, and to-cleY was appointed for his last examination. The bankrupt did not appear to surrender, and will consequently be outlawed at the rising of the Court. The bankrupt stands charged with forgeries, the ascer tained amount of which, it is stated, is nearly 10,0001 Previously to the fiat being issued, a letter was re* ceived, stating that bankrupt had thrown himself into the mill-tail. Subsequent inquiries, however, proved that he had absconded, and a warrant wa s i ssue d for his apprehension. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Two men of respectable appearance, who gave their names as Jones and Colebrook, the latter wearing a large d shade over the upper part of the left sid e o f hi s f ac e, an partly over the right eye, were charged before Mt. Henry with attempting to obtain money under false pre tences, by moans of begging letters. About three months ago, Colebrook, who forreerli went by the name of Barnet, called upon Mr. Pliillpottaj of Montague-street, Russell- square , so li c it or , an prefented a letter, purporting to come fr,°T, a Mr. Watten, a surgeon, residing a t Lace Cottage, St. John's-wood, in which the prisoner was strongly recommended as a most d eserv i ng end amiable young man, of the same name (Philpotts) e e the gentleman applied to, and h av i ng h a d the m i s f or tune to foie his sight by being nearly burnt to death in It s , bed-room some years ag o . Th e l e tt er went on t o 5., 15 `" particulars remotely conn ec ti ng th e pr i soner w i t h x.r st i Philpott's relations, and soliciting th a t gen tl e man's el to enable the Prisoner to purchas e a su i t o f c l o thes. and other things necessary for his admission into the Blind Asylum at Bristol. Mr. Philpotts had some suspicions, sent one of his clerks to watch the prisoner, and he ob served him walk as steadily as if he had no blindness, and at a short distance from the house he was joined by the other prisoner. Mr. Philpotts ascertained next day that there was no such person as Mr. Watten, surgeon, or cottage as Eden, in St. John's Wood. Information WO given to the mendicity officers, to whom the prisoner was known. On the 16th of May Colebrook presented to Mr. Ash.. croft, superintendent of engineers on the Eastern Coo' tics Railway a letter introducing him as Peter Ashcroft , the exact namesake, and recommending him in the same terms as those of the letter to Mr. Philpotts. This letter professed to come from a Mr. Parker, surgeon, of Avou Cottage, Hackney. But on inquiry neither surgeon nor cottage could be found. Yesterday Horsford apprehended the two prisoners. I° Jones's hat he found four letters, written in the sam e handwriting, and to the same purport, as the letters t° Mr. Philpotts and Mr. Ashcroft. Horsford admitted that the statement as to the Pri prisoner's losing entirely the sight of his left eye, s' r !„, nearly that of his right, i n a fire at his lodgings 11 the Curtain-road, som e y ears ago , w h en h e h a d a 0i1",. - row escape of being burnt to death, was perfectly trge• The prisoner's attorney strongly urged this fact mitigation. Ni. HENRY said that was no excuse for his lealinb: a life of fraud an d i mpos i t i on such as he seemed to I'v" sv lived for years. li e sen t ence d hi m to threo months ''' hard labour. As to Jones, the evidence was not sufficient in these car.es, and the Magistrate discharged him, Wit h 9 severe admonition. '' . :4,iiirlY 72Zittton &SCOT itACES• BY EXPRESS.—(THIS DAY.)
