One of the earliest propositions to be submitted to Parliament on its re-assembling will relate to the working of the Irish Poor-law. A Special Commit tee will undoubtedly be appointed to inquire and report thereon, in order that the alterations, which are admitted on every side to be essential, may be duly carried through both Houses before the proroga tion. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the nature ant character of those changes— howevee various and conflicting may be the views entertained, no controversy can arise on one point—something must be done, matters cannot be suffered to remain in their present position for another year. The country has already been brought to the verge of ruin. In many of the more impoverished districts there has been a total cessation of payments. Rents, tithes, rates, debts of every description, are alike repudiated. The land lord may in vain appeal to his tenantry, the parson to his congregation, the cess collector to the rate payer, the mortgagee to the nominal proprietor of the too-deeply encumbered estate. The appli cations . call forth no favourable response. Although the most stringent measures are resorted to, and all the engines of the law brought into operation, the result is the sam e _ the liabilities remain unliquidated. The debtor may, be ruined by the litigation, but the creditor w ill re ceive no benefit therefrom. lie will only increase his demand by a heavy bill of costs, which must be satisfied under any circumstances. The attorney must be paid, whatever may be the result. The r eme dy suggested by many influential men for this untoward state of affairs is, that " the area of taxation should be narrowed to townlands, or even smaller divisions, and that the responsibility of supporting the destitute poor should be individualised as far as possible so as to make it, whenever practicable, conterminous with property." We have already pointed out the difficul ties that arise, the objections that must be answered, before these suggestions can be carried into effect. It is manifest that it would multiply evictions and hold out the strongest inducements to landed pro prietors to clear their estates of the pauper occupants. All the evils that have arisen in this country from the operation of the Law of Settlement would be produced in Ireland in a tenfold ratio. A premium would indeed be held out to cruel and bard-hearted landlords, that could not be re sisted ; and the voice of lamentation would be heard throughout the length and breadth of the land, the lamentations of those driven from their bumble hold ings to wander without food, shelter, or employment, and eventually to become permanent charges upon the rates of some of the larger unions, where it was not practicable " to individualise the responsibility," or " to render it conterminous with property." Mr. RIGBY AVASON has well explained the end and object of the contemplated enactment, and clearly pointe,l out the ultimate results of such a law. Whether we take the statement of the Hon. Member for Limerick (Mr, MONSELL), who tells us that " active landlords have been forced into inaction by the im possibility of getting the indolent to co-operate with then'," and that, "so long as you allow the indus trious and humane to be swamped by the indolent opacity of those who by exorbitant rents create f".• . „ , paupers, and then refuse to expend one shilling in employing them; you can have no employment here ;" or of the ex-Member for Westmeath (Mr. HUGH MORGAN TUITE), who desires " to put the screw upon all properties in the possession of the indolent and hard-hearted landlord and tenant, the absentee, and, worst class than all, the estates in the Court of Chancery," it is obvious that the intention is to transfer a certain portion of the; burden that now affects active and improving landlords to others who are undoubtedly less able to sustain it. What must be the inevitable consequence of a proceeding, which Mr. WAsoN so happily designates " a specimen of injustice, of con• fusion of ideas, and of short• sighted policy ?" The land on which the further charge was imposed would speedily be thrown out of cultivation. The parties interested therein would, whether as proprie tors, annuitants, or incumbrancers, become the first victims, their ruin would speedily be effected. Indeed, it would require very little in addition to the present burdens to do so, they are already fearfully overweighted. Every increase may be considered as the " last straw that breaks the horse's back ;" and when the back is actually broken, who is to assume the burden for which there will be then no bearer ?. Mr. WAsoN pertinently asks, " upon whom would the screw then be put," on the adjoining landlords or the British nation ? We believe that it would be a matter of no slight difficulty to induce the British nation again to assume the charge-10,000,0001. sterling were advanced, either as grants or loans, to avert starvation from the destitute population which at that time had no legal claim for support. The consequences of a drain so enormous are unhap pily but too well known. The suffering on this side of .St. George's Channel has been sufficiently acute. We do not believe that any suggestions will be taken into consideration, or even listened to, the result of which may be again to impose the burden of main taining the Irish poor on English tax-payers. It must then fall upon the Irish landlords, and, it will do so with much greater effect, and prove still more onerous, when many of those who now contribute to the burden have been forced to relinquish the struggle, and to permit their properties to remain barren and unproductive. It would then indeed be proved " that honesty was the best policy." Within a fortnight the British Parliament will have assembled. Within how brief a time it is im possible to conjecture the French Parliament will have been dissolved. The former august Senate will be opened by her Britannic MAJESTY in person ; the latter will have to decree the moment of its own dissolution. Before the occurrence of these contem parary events it will be well to contrast the prospects opened by them to the two greatcst nationalities in Christendom. To England the meeting of the House of Commons will prove an augury of hope, and an augury of hope too will be afforded to the Young Republic by the appeal which must be made to the judgment of the population immediately upon the disappearance of her first Assembly. With ourselves the popular anxiety is concentrated upon one point of domestic interest and that point one of vital importance to a great mercantile community—the scheme of financial improvement. The reduction of our expenditure of ten millions of pounds sterling, the diminution of our annual disbursements to the amount which was found to be sufficient in 1835, the reconciliation of the conflicting propositions of Mr. COBDEN and of Mr. MACGREGOR—constitute the centre round which the whole of the aspirations of the multitude are revolving. With our neighbours it is different. They have to strengthen the foundations, while we are beautifying the adorn ments, and lightening the load of the superstructure. They have to deal with the fundamental truths of government, while we are merely called upon to modify its pageantry and to restrict its ceremonials. They have before them the enormous labour of con solidating the new Republican institutions, whereas we have simply the responsibility of adjusting anew what was long since constructed by our forefathers. The popular assemblies required for these very dif ferent undertakings must consequently be of very opposite characters. Ours has already been selected, The French have yet to choose their repre sentatives ; for it is sufficiently manifest that the National Assembly now sitting at Paris has to a very large extent accomplished its destinies. Not that we place the faintest shadow of reliance upon the declaration of those malcontents who declare that the Assembly has outlived its popularity. On the contrary, we are satisfied that the memorable Chamber of the national representation never stood in a loftier position in the estimation of the multitude than now when it has received again into its bosom the absorbable chiefs of the three inaugurative Cabinets—the Provisional Government, the Exe cutive Commission, and the Military Dictator ship— now that it has digested and proclaimed the one hundred and sixteen articles of its Poli tical Constitution now that it has bowed before the will of the nation in recognising the autho rity of the Republican PRESIDENT. Yet the very fact that these things have been accomplished by the Assembly is the most glaring attestation that its destinies have been completed. It is warned to resign its power into the hands from which that power emanated, not by the insolent mandate of a few con temptible petitions, comprising in all the signatures of merely six thousand five hundred individuals, not by the petulant tones of a faction thirsting for an opportunity to deliver up Liberty into the possession of Despotism, not by the rhetorical taunts hurled alike to the gauche and the droit by the chivalrous but mistaken scorn Of MONTALEMBERT— but by the audible conscience of the Republic speak ing to the national representatives, in a voice that has never yet deceived them, the voice that first sum- mooed them to undertake the salvation of the country—the voice of LAMARTINE. Within the last few days that great man has addressed himself to the difficult problem now on the eve of its solution—the question as to whether the National Assembly should consent to its immediate dissolution. M. DE L &MARTINE is fully of opinion that the response of the national representation should be in the affirmative. Such he conceives to be due to its reputation. For, says he, "The life of a political body is its inviolability and its dignity : much of the inviolability of the National Assembly was lost on the 10th of December ; much of its dig nity on the 12th of January." On the former occasion it will be remembered that the candidate deliberately selected by the Assembly was unsuccessful against the decision of Universal Suffrage. On the latter occasion it cannot be forgotten that M. ODILON PARROT, speaking in his official capacity as the Minister of the President BoDiArAirrE, declared to the National Assembly, that its hour was arrived. On the former occasion, exclaims M. DE LAMARTINE, "the moral inviolability of the Assembly was wounded," on the latter " its dignity was wounded also." " Without inviolability," he continued," with out.; complete dignity, can we continue to exist, to exist usefully ?" No! What then are we called upon to do ? One of two things alone, gentle men ; either to revolt against the Minister who has thus addressed us, and to recover beyond the ruins of his overthrow the lost executive authority, or to re tire, and, in retiring, to make an appeal to the c ountry. To revolt and to subvert the Mi n i s t er ! The notion is sufficiently seductive, as far as self love is concerned, but it would compromise the for tunesd establish ment true pa triotism; inti s mo:f say 0 r to fat u b s e : r — lan D d o . not W I sd agitate an an so feebly compacted together. which is so newly born , and which Sacr . tfi . ce your is even now resent ment to the country. Retire !" There is a reason in all thi s , a se lf- sacr ifi ce, an d a moderation eminently worthy of LAMARTINE . We could utter nobler eulogiu m . In saying this we h ave exhausted no the vocabulary o f our panegyr i cs, b ut t h ose panegyrics were never more admirably deserved. The National Assembly must now, therefore, re sign the power which it has wielded during nine months, for its own glory, and for the national happiness. It must abdicate in favour of the Re public that diadem of popularity with which it was crowned on the 4th of May by the acclamations of the multitude. It lost its inviolability on the 10th of December, when, in opposition to its own candidate) Prince Louis NAPOLEON was declared to be the Republican President. It lost its dignity on the 12th of January, when M. ODILON BARRO? insulted . its aggregate strength with impunity. And as an additional and conclusive argument for its dis solution, M. DE LAMABTINE—the Creator of the National Assembly—has said to it " Retire 1" Before the next session of our own Parliament has far ad vanced we shall, doubtless, in consequence of these occurrences, witness another general election by the Ballot and by Universal Suffrage throughout the capital and the departments of the French Republic. We are happy to announce that Mr. PEIRCE MAHONY, the eminent solicitor, and formerly Member for the borough of Kinsale, has been appointed to the important and lucrative office of Clerk of the Crown to the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, vacant by the death of the late Mr. BOURNE. We congratulate the Irish public upon this most excellent appoint ment. There is no person better qualified to discharge the duties of the situation. Mr. MAHONY has earned for himself the cha racter of an experienced, intelligent, and indefatigable member of the legal profession: His quick and comprehensive judgment enabled him to detect defects in the system of registry, and to sug gest most important alterations therein. The valuable evidence which he gave befle the Committee ap pointed to inquire as to the expediency of intro ducing the Irish system of Registration into Eng land, in the month of June, 1847, led to the passing of the Act 11 and 12 Victoria, chap. 120, which proceeds upon the basis of dispensing with the repe tition of the investigation of title, so far as registry is concerned. By that Act the Registrar of Deeds is directed, before giving out any negative search, to cause a copy to be recorded, and attested copies of recorded searches are to have the same force and effect, and shall be accepted and received in the same manner as a new search. The enormous expense and difficulty in the transfer of land thereby avoided will be duly appreciated by our professional readers. It was a step in the right di rection, tending towards what Mr. JAMES STEWART, the eminent conveyancer, happily termed " a free trade in land." Mr. MAHONY also pointed out the errors in the Bill for facilitating the sale of encum bered estates in Ireland, brought forward in 1847, which led to its postponement until the subse quent year, when !it received the Legisla tive sanction in 'an improved form. It is impossible to estimate the consequences that might have resulted from the adoption of the measure in its original condition. A panic was created amongst English capitalists who had invested many millions on Irish mortgages ; proceedings would have been immediately taken to foreclose these mortgages, and a ruinous litigation would have been excited. The nation is indebted to Mr. MAHONY for averting these evils. There is another point of view in which the ap pointment is peculiarly felicitous. One portion of the duties which the Clerk of the Crown is required to discharge consists of attending on behalf of the Crown to strike the juries in State prosecutions. The outcry that was recently excited in Ireland respect ing the alleged packing of these juries cannot be forgotten. Although we have already shown that the complaints were utterly unfounded, it was ex tremely detrimental to the public interests that any such statements could by a possibility have been de liberately nut forward. Mr. MATIONY possesses the confidence of all parties and classes of politicians, and there is little prospect of these complaints being renewed when the ballot shall take place under his auspices. We doubt not that Mr. MAHONY will make an invaluable public servant, that he will be a truly efficient officer, and we rejoice to find that his Ex cellency the LORD-LIEUTENANT has in this instance indeed selected " the worthiest," and promoted the man whom the voice of public opinion has pro nounced to be the fittest for the office. It is satisfac tory to find that merit such as Mr. MAHONY'S has not been lost sight of or forgotten in the highest quarters. We would gladly direct the attention of our readers to the communication from Dublin that will be found in another part of our impression. The abo lition of the equity jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer, and (if necessary) the appointment of an Irish Vice-Chancellor is a change that cannot long be refused. It is looked for by the profession, and, indeed, by the public generally in Ireland. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JAN UARY 18, 1849, measure which marks the sincere attachment of the Court of Madrid for the Holy See. The Due de Sotomayor, Spanish Ambassador at Paris, has been charged to intimate to the French Government, that a flotilla, composed of eight Spanish vessels of war, was ready to leave for Gaeta, in order to follow the Holy Father, either to Civita Vecchia, or to Ancona. In declaring that Queen Isabella, in order to respond worthily to the title of Catholic Ma jesty, had no other intention than that of protecting the inviolability of the Pope and of the Sacred College against the eventual attacks of the revolution, the Due de Sotomayor was also commissioned to invite the French Government to take part in an enterprise, the object of which was rather religious than political. Louis Napoleon, in answering to the amicable appeal of the Court of Spain, testified his eagerness to cover the !Icily See with the efficacious protection of the French Re public, with the reservation, however, of not acting until formally called upon to do so by the Pope himself, and M. de Latour d'Auvergne was immediately dispatched with the necessary instructions for the Due d'Har court, the French ambassador at Gaeta. In the mean time orders have been sent by telegraph to Toulon, for arming a flotilla, as the French vessels of war are now stationed at different points along the coast of Italy, in consequence of the events of which that country is the theatre, there were found but few disposable ships at Toulon. Hence the necessity of taking ships from Cherbourg and Brest, and of that activity which has so much excited the imagination of some journalists. With regard to the pretended Austro- Neapolitan intervention, we have already observed that the Pope did formally decline the offers made by the King of Naples. With respect to Austria, we believe we are in a position to state that the French Govern ment has received the most positive assurance that the Cabinet of Vienra will adopt the principle of non-inter vention in the affairs of Rome. If, however, an inter ventioa should become indispensable in order to save, for the sake of the interests of Europe. the capital of the Christian world from anarchy, then Austria declares beforehand, that she will only interfere collectively with France and the other Catholic powers. It is in this sense that are drawn up the instructions of the Count Maurice d'Esterhazy, charged by the Emperor of Aus tria with an extraordinary mission to the Sovereign Pontiff—instructions previously communicated to the French Government —in order to testify the desire of the Imperial Cabinet to proceed in perfect accordance with the French Republic in the question of Rome." M. HUMANN has just been dispatched by the PRE SIDENT of the Republic to Austria to settle the basis of an active armed intervention in the Roman States, preliminary to the arrangement of the question of Lombardy. We regret to hear of this appointment— M. HUMANN is a member of the old obscurantist party, and was sent by M. GUIZOT to Vienna to arrange with Prince - METTERNICH the basis of the proposed Austrian and French intervention in Swit zerland in support of the Sonderbund. The Parliamentary Club of the Rue de Poitiers held a sitting yesterday, which was devoted to the approaching general election. It was agreed to form an electoral committee of 30 members, to be organised by Messrs. MOLE, TRIERS, and BERRYER, names which indicate the union of the Legitimatists and Orleanists. - The banking-house of BAUDON and Co., which had been forced by the revolution of February to suspend payments, has just issued a notice that on the 29th of the present month it will be prepared to pay all its creditors in full—capital, interest, and costs. BOURSE.—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 17.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC In the sitting of the National Assembly on Tues day, a Bill demanding a credit of 2,720,000 f. to close the accounts of the Ateliers. Nationaux was read a first time. In the course of the same sitting, M. PASSY, the Finance Minister, announced the intention of the Government to withdraw the project of law for the imposition of an income-tax. In the course of the sitting of yesterday, M. ODILON BARROT presented a decree by which the authors and accomplices in the affair of the 15th of May are to be sent for trial before the High Court of the Nation, in conformity with the 91st article of the Constitution. The special committee charged to examine M. RATEAU'S proposition for the dissolution of the As sembly has appointed M. LIECHTENBERGER Presi dent, and M. PIERRE BONAPARTE Secretary. It has also appointed a sub-committee to examine all the propositions presented on the subject. It is composed of three members who spoke absolutely against fixing any,term to the dissolution of the Assembly. MM. DUPONT (de Bussac), JULES FAVRE, and GREVY. The agitation on the subject of the dissolution of the Assembly is commented on in all the journals. The Constitutionnel says— "ln making known the composition of the Com mittee charged with the examination of the proposition of M. Rateau, we expressed our doubts whether the Committee would propose its absolute rejection. The necessities of the present state of things will induce them to refrain from such a course. If we are well in formed, the Committee will propose to reduce to three, or at the most four, the organic laws, which should be voted by the present Assembly, and fix the elections to take place in the middle of April." The Government, it is said, will endeavour to fix the 15th of April as the day for the dissolution. The National publishes the following manifesto from the " Democratic Association of the Friends of the Constitution," the views of which it sup- Forts " The Democratic Association of the Friends of the Constitution, convinced that without the organic laws the constitution will be but a dead letter —convinced that the National Assembly, by precipitating its dissolu tion, will only serve the criminal and publicly avowed projects of a Royalist coalition ; convinced that its speedy dissolution would leave the President of the Re public exposed to the increasing audacity of re-actionists —manifest with all the energy of its patriotic convictions the desire to see the representatives of the people pursue to the end the accomplishment of their great and fruit ful mission. "Let them remain at their posts firm and united; and if the Royalists in their contempt of the dignity of man and of the repose of the country go from intrigue to violence ; if they should dare to make an attempt by force on the sovereignty of the National Assembly, let it reckon on the true friends of the Republic founded by their devotedness: they will rise to a man to defend it. " Insensible alike to menaces and to calumnies, let our worthy representatives calmly c ompl e t e the work of re generation which France has entrusted to them ; the fu ture will take account of the combats which they may have to sustain for the cause of French democracy. " Signed by M. Buchez, President, and the members of the Bureau." The National adds : " The sentiments expressed in this document are those telt by all true Republicans. If ever the Assembly should be threatened, 100,000 arms would be raised in its defence. If moral force should stagger, 100,000 de voted hearts would press around it to re-inspire it with energy. But nothing of that kind is necessary. The Assembly will prove itself equal to its task. "While petitions are being hawked about, tending to bring about the dissolution of the Assembly, we know that others are in preparation in a contrary sense. While we applaud these efforts of true Republicans, we say that we do not think their exertions will be re quired. The Assembly has its incontestible rights, and ' it is from them that it derives its strength; and the vain demonstrations which are made against it will fall to the ground before its indifference and its disdain." The Presse contains a "communication" upon the subject of the preparations at Toulon, and the affairs of Rome. The POPE, in the protest he has addressed to the various European Governments, asks merely for moral aid, and expresses himself opposed to armed in tervention. There is a strong party in his favour at Rome, and it is only because the people consider that he is not free at Gaeta, that no manifestation has as He is therefore desi r rows st o remove taken re lpfavour. place in t o Civita his Vecchiaor Ancona. Having thus explained the situation and desires of the Pol.; the Presse thus proceeds : " The Queen of Spain. who, at the commencement of these troubles, dispatched a steam-frigate, the Lepanto, to Civita Vecchia, to remain at the disposal of the So vereign Pontiff, in ease he should be obliged to seek an asylum abroad, has now taken the initiative in a SPAIN. The Carlist expedition, consisting of 579 men, entered: Navarre, by way of Aldada, on the 13th January. Three hundred of them directed their course towards the interior, and the remain4r marched towards Inn, in the neighbourhood of which town they are at present. They had a smart skirmish in crossing the Bidassoa, and succeeded in taking five Custom-house officers and fifteen Bens-d'armes pri soners. The Carlists lost only one man killed. The 15th was the day fixed for the enrolment of troops in Navarre : the Carlists expect that a considerable number of the recruits will join them. They have sent a detachment of 60 men to Oyazzum, and directed a column to march on Bergara. The Pro gresistas were preparing to enter Arragon. A Gerona letter of the 3d says that CABRERA and MARSAL had been staying for ten days at Amer, feasting and giving balls, &c., and exercising their men; they had also picked up many recruits. They left on the 2d, CABRERA going towards Olot, and MARSAL towards Selva and the Ter. Another chief, named JUVANY, went towards Santa Coloma. CA BRERA shot two colonels on that day, one the brother of BEP DEL OM, and the other Don JUAN ORIS TIZABEL, for having engaged in a conspiracy against him, and having planned to go over to the enemy. MARSAL shot one officer for the same cause. A letter from Casseras, of the 3d, says that the Carlists had assembled to the number of 300, under EL MECHACHO, BOQUICA, and others, and had visited Baga, Pont de Revente, and Vilada, BoQUIcA being charged to collect contributions in the district of Berge, and the villages of the Cordana, and that other bands were now coming to join them, and it was said that CABRERA was expected to go with them towards Forradi and San Janine de Frontana, abandoning Vidra, in consequence of the movements of COSCHA. A Burgos letter of the sth says, that EL ESTI!. DIANTE had not met with anything like the loss stated in the official dispatches, and that he had passed by Lerma with his band, and gone into the Sierra. It adds that the sanguinary scenes of 1834 are beginning to be revived. Four Carlists were taken prisoners by Captain D E LorEN O who f the Civil Guard, had been shot in cold blood ;. and it was expected that another Carlist, who was brought into Burgos on the 4th, would be put to death. The Espana announces that the QUEEN has spared the lives of eight Carlists belonging to EL ESTU DIANTE'S band, and two to that of Mumz, who had been Condemned to death, the former at Burgos and the latter at Salamanca. This act of clemency was in honour of the Dia de los Reyes, the 6th instant. Our accounts from Madrid are to the 11th. In the course of the debate on the Address in the Senate on the 10.1), Senor MoN made the following announcement on the nature of the proposed altera• tions in the tariff:— " The Government is aware that is enemies circulate, false reports respecting the introduced into the tariff. changeswit with a malignant about o e intention, Whatever may be the determin a ti o n o f th e C a bi ne t o n so delicate and complicated a question, I feel bound to declare that no branch of industry of the Spanish peo ple shall have to suffer from the reform contemplated. On the contrary, the Gov ernmen t w ill p ro t ec t, as carefully as possible, all existing and acquired interests, and, moreover, it will not decide any ques tion that may arise without the co-operation of the le gislative bodies. The Government will always take into account the great sacrifices made by the nation, those white it may still incur, the wants of trade and the protection it owes to all the interests of the State." MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 11.—The Three per Cents. were done at 19i for paper; the Five per Cents. at 10; the debt without Interest at 3i; and the Cou pons at 6. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Accounts have been received from Vienna of the 10th. On th e prev i ous d ay a b u lletin had been pub lished from Prince W INDIS CHGRATZ with news of the operation s o f Fi eld Mars h a l Lieutenant Count Scunicx, whlt; it is stated, fought a battle on the 4th instant with the Hungarian General MESZAROS. The Hungarian forces consisted of 18 battalions of foot, 23 pieces of artillery, and 800 hussars. They met the Austrians between the city of Kaschan and the heights of Paroza, and were completely defeated. The Austrians took 10 cannons, 6 waggons of ammunition, 1 standard, 200 muskets, and 40 horses. They cap tured likewise two Hungarian officers and 300 pri vates. A chest, containing 10,000 ducats, fell into the hands of the Imperialists. General MESZAROS was all but surrounded. An Imperial officer would have shot him, but the pistol missed fire. The bulletin adds that the combat was furious, but that very few of the Austrians were killed or wounded. General W ELDEN ann ounced the surrender of a great number o f A us trian troops in the Hungarian army, who qu itt e d th e i r quarters at Neusatz an d joined the Imperialists at the Roman encampment near Kaacz. In the Carpathians, General GRETZ, in order to act in concert with Field-Marshal Scamcx, proceeded on his march to Kremnitz and Schemnitz, after the cap ture of Silein, on the 2d instant. On the 10th another bulletin was published, which says that after the victory of Kaschau, the Hunga rians were pursued, and ex perienced considerable loss in their retreat, both in guns and men. A case be longing to MUSSAROS was captured, containing papers on the Polish affairs. The accounts from Pesth were to the Bth. Several of the Hungarian Nobles had been arrested by order of WimpiscaGEATz ; among them were Count Louis BATTIITANT and Count ANTON SCAPARI. PRUSSIA. The elections were proceeding on the 13th at Berlin with great activity, the regulations of the state of siege having been suspended to enable the public meetings to be held without restriction. The ill-timed prosecution of those Deputies who voted for the refusal of taxes has produced the effect which might naturally have been expected. They are considered as martyrs of freedom, and their re election is all but certain. The Judge TEMME, who is at present under pro secution for his vote in the Assembly, has been elected by Neuss as representative to the German Parliament at Frankfort, and will be returned to the Prussian Assembly by several places. The following is stated to be the programme pro posed by the Central Democratic Committee for the adoption of the Liberal Members who may be elected to the Berlin Chamber. " 1. To protest, from the first day of meeting of the new Chamber, against the dissolution of the ex-Cham ber, and against all acts in opposition to the decrees of that Chamber since the Bth of November. 2. To de clare the new Constitution to be null and void. 3. Im peachment of Ministers and liberation of all political offenders. 4. To demand of the Crown the ratification of all acts voted by the ex-fraction Unruh. 5. To set aside the first Chamber, and to declare the second a con stituent. 6. To recommence the debates on the new Constitution, precisely where those on the old one were interrupted." The primary electors of the rural commune of Nessin, near Kohlberg, have addressed a petition to the KING to request the solution of doubts which had been raised in their minds by some pamphlets which had been secretly sent to them, and said to be sent by order of his MAJESTY. They ask if the KING was constrained by his Councillors to dissolve the As sembly, and to promulgate the Constitution of the sth December ? It' the KING wished to divide property, and to give it to those who had none ? If, according to his MAJESTY'S wish, they were at the elections to listen to the great proprietors, and elect only persons of that class ? _ _ _ To this address the KING has given the following answer : _ _ "With respect to the decree of the sth of December I can give you the following reply :—I dissolved the Con stituent Assembly by my own free act and will, but ac cording to the advice of my ministers. I was compelled to take that step by that Assembly itself, inasmuch as the majority of the members did not comply with my summons to continue their discussions at Brandenburg, and by their illegal resolutions were bringing the nation and the Crown into extreme danger. I could not allow the misconduct of those members to withhold from the people the enjoyment of the liberties I had granted them, and to prevent the return of peace and order, the want of which had so long injnred the welfare of the country. Having dissolved that Assembly, I have of my own accord secured to my people the rights and liberties I had granted by a Constitution. The revision and pos. sible improvement of this Constitution will be undertaken by the Chambers about to be chosen. When order shall thus have been restored and the authority of the laws re-established, I hope to God that the Prussian people will enter on the path of increased prosperity and renown, and that the blessing of a regular and strong Government will promote the prosperity of the whole• people, especially that of the poor and destitute, whose position I am most anxious to improve. Those, how ever, deceive you and do not deserve your confidence who tell you it is my intention to rob the present holders of estates of their property and divide it among the poor. By such means no one would be relieved, while law and justice, which it is my sacred duty to maintain, would be violated in the most shameful manner. To your question whom you are to choose and send as deputies to Berlin I can give no decided answer, and I hope that my faithful people will be able of themselves to elect worthy representatives. But I will not withhold my advice from you. Let your choice fall upon men inspired by a real love for their native land, who have gained respect by the uprightness of their dealings, and who have exhibited by deeds a warm sympathy for the ne cessities of the poor, aad who possess the intelligence and will to promote the welfare of the State by their legislation. Choose such men wherever you find them, whether they are proprietors or peasants, whether high or low; but beware of those who flatter you with hopes which can never be fulfilled, who sow discontent and hatred among you, and make those suspected whom you have all your lives known to be honest men." There has been an emeute at Charlottenburg in consequence of the police having forbidden the hold ing of a political :meeting. Au attempt was made to hold the meeting, the military were called in, and several of the people were severely wounded by sabre cuts before they would disperse. FRANKFORT. The discussion on the Austrian question was re newed in the sitting of the German Parliament on the 13th. GAGERN in his reply warmly disclaimed the imputation of intrigue. He had been accused, he said, of covertly endeavouring to secure the hegemony of Prussia. He disowned any such intention, but it was quite true that he aimed at the establishment of a supreme headship, constituted on the basis of unity ; yes, and if they wished to hear the truth, of an here ditary headship of the German Federative State.— (Loud cheers.) With regard to Austria, the ques tion was, could she enter in the form of her collective monarchy into the German Federative State. She could not; for her union in her aggregate form would be irreconcilable with the prime condition—the con dition of liberty—on which the realization of the Fe derative State depended. He therefore could see no alternative, but either to prevent the entrance of Austria into the Federative State which they were forming, or to frame that State so laxly as that it should defeat its own purpose. At the conclusiln of GAGERN'S speech the Assem bly divided on the following resolution : "The National Assembly resolves to grant the Imperial Ministry the authority prayed for in its programme of the 18th December, 1848, as modified by its note of the sth ult., and elucidated by the representations made on the 11th ult. by the President of the Mnisterial Council." When there appeared— _ For the proposition Against it - —37 .ajority This vote will probably result in an offer of the imperial cvown to the King of PRUSSIA, and possibly the withdrawal from the Assemby of the Austrian deputies. Up to the present time the following have declared themselves in favour of the King of PRUSSIA. being placed on the Imperial throne of Germany :—The Chambers of Royal Saxony, of the two Hesses, Mecklenburg, Baden, and Oldenburg, the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, the Government of Grand Ducal Hesse, the German Associations of Dresden and Leipsic, the Constitutional Union of the Rhenish Provinces, the Government of Baden, the eight Princes of Thuringia, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, and the three Dukes of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha, Saxe Meiningen, and Saxe Altenburg, the two Princes of Schwartzenburg, the two Princes of Reuss. It was reported in Frankfort on the 13th that there was every probability that Prussia and Austria will come to an understanding upon a federation, which will give to Austria the honorary and political pre cedency over Germany, while Prussia will possess the chief military and material direction. Thus the latter will have under its control, besides the general direction of the German army, also that of commerce, the post-office, and industry. However, Prussia will, it is said, undertake nothing without the formal consent of Austria. ITALY. The Alba of Florence states that the POPE has excommunicated all the persons who had taken part in the administration of the affairs of Rome since his flight for Gaeta. The Roman people became highly exasperated when this first became known, and seized all the cardinals' hats exposed for sale in the shops, and threw them into the Tiber. On the 10th the Grand Duke of TUSCANY opened the session of the Legislative Chambers at Florence. He delivered a speech on the occasion, in which he repeatedly announced that his policy entirely coincided with that of the other Italian States. LATEST FROM IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EvENING.--- The accounts to-day from the western counties are alarming as respects the rapid progress of destitution and the con sequent mortality among the poor. In the Roscom mon workhouse fever is raging, and in one district the deaths are said to average twenty a-day. According to the Mail, notice has been given to all the establishments of this city receiving public grants, that they are to be discontinued or reduced. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon arrived this evening at the Castle, where they will reside for the rest of the season. The first levee is fixed for the 24th instant. _ _ The weather has become suddenly fine, the rain and storms having been succeeded by a bright sun and clear atmosphere. The Lord-Lieutenant has appointed Mr. Pierce Mahony to be Clerk of the Crown of the Queen's Bench, in the room of Mr. Bourne, deceased. We observe with profound regret that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor has suffered the severe affliction of losing, in the year of his mayoralty, hi s venera bl e and esteemed mother. Sir James Duke, is in conse quence, compelled to leave town for a few days, for the purpose of paying the last melancholy trib ite of affec tion by his personal attendance upon the funeral obsequies. OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.--The address in the House of Commons will be moved by Lord Harry Vane, and seconded by Mr. B un b ury . H er M a j es t y will open Parliament in person. Miss Cushman appeared at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, on Monday, in the part of Bianca, in Mr. Mil man's drama of Fazio. At the conclusion of the per formance Miss Cushman was called for, and greeted with a storm of applause. The pantomime succeeded, and it appears to have lost none of its former attractions.. HONEY and COMMERCIAL. NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a good demand for Cotton a; Liverpof , l yesterday, and prices of all kinds were well supported. Low kinds of American and Surat were a shade higher. Good Orleans at 4ad. to sd. was in good demand. The sales were 5,000 bales, including 3,500 American, at 31d. to 5d.; 200 Bahia, at sd. to 6d.; 150 Egyptian, at 5 4 d. to 6d.; 300 Surat, at 2id. to 3ad.; anJ 60 Sea Island, at 3(1. to ls. 21d. 1,000 were taken by specu lators.—The market for Railway Shares was not quite so good. At a meeting of London Joint-Stock Bank proprie tors, held to-day, a dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum was declared, with a bonus of 7s. per share. The bills discounted, loans and cash, amounted on the 30th ult. to 2,437,2061. Accounts from Havre, in giving a report of the state of trade during the past year, show a more favourable result than might perhaps have been expected. The receipts of the Customs, which in the year 1847 were 25,000,000 francs, were last year about 20,000,000 francs. There are other ports of France which do not show so favourably, but it is really wonderful that the country has passed through the crisis co well. _ _ _ :Cis stated that the advanced rates asked at Manches ter for yarns and piece goods have checked business, but probably this is merely a temporary circumstance. There is usually some timidity at first in acceding to higher rates, but confidence growing stronger, this will vanish. Descriptions of and guides to California may be ex pected to abound, and it will be strange if, out of the mass of information, there be not something useful gleaned. The following answers to our impression that the descendants of the Anglo-Saxons are not the men to be come degenerate, as the Spaniards have done, simply because riches pour in upon them. The extract is from a brief " Guide to California," published by Effingham and Wilson:— "We are confident that the evils which at present exist in that country are destined to be of short dura tion. Slowly but surely the civil power is advancing from the opposite side of the continent to repress dis order and violence, and to introduce a system of police and administrative government. When that important object is once accomplished, the various parts of the society will again unite together, and the magnificent resources of the country will be rapidly developed by the energies of the Anglo-Saxon race. Few countries, indeed, point out such a brilliant prospective as Upper California. Favoured with a salubrious climate and fertile soil, besides possessing inexhaustible stores of mineral wealth, she requires only the application of labour arid skill to be transformed into the land abounding in all the productions that can minister to the wants of mankind. Her position, too, is eminently calculated to secure for her an extensive commerce. Standing, as it were, on the highway between the vast and growing countries of the North American continent and the opulent regions the East, she is, in all probability, destined, at no remote epoch, to form the centre of a power which will assume the uncontrolled sway of the Pacific. " It has been asserted that, for ages to come, the wealth realised in California will be almost exclusively derived from the stores of the precious metals with which the country abounds. This is an opinion which we conceive is not warranted by due consideration of the various re sources of the country and of the character of the people in whose hands Providence has been pleased to commit its destiny. The laws of a well-regulated system of commerce will, in the course of a short time, determine in California, as in any other place, a just relation between gold and all other commodities. When that result takes place, the plethora of gold will flow into every channel of industry in the country, and all pursuits will become equally profitable. The farmer will always find a ready market for his produce among the thousands of persons who do not raise a single bushel of wheat; the merchant, for a similar reason, will meet with a constant demand for his goods, and the artisan for his labour and skill. If California was in possession of a people constitutionally indolent, and un acquainted with the true principles of commerce, wo might then be justified in predicating that all those of industry, the pursuit of which infuses life and health into every civilised community, would be sacrificed to a stupid and avaricious search for gold. But the melancholy example of Spain does not apply i❑ this case, any more than indolence and super stition can be assimilated to industry and intelligence. One of the most glorious pictures of modern civilization is afforded by the progress of the Anglo-Saxon colonist on the American continent." The Money Market is extremely good again this morning, and in the Funds there continues to be a satis factory amount of real business doing. The speculators are very sanguine, unforeseen political difficulties not occurring, in a further enhancement of values, and our position is calculated to favour the impression. With the certainty of wholesome, and the prospect even of extensive, retrenchment in the national expendi ture, concurrently with a decided improvement in the revenue, there is no drawback at home to a most cheerful future. The speculators for a rise look to her Majesty's Speech on the opening of Parliament as being likely to give prices a lift. Consols have been 89.1 to 90k for Transfer, and 90 to 9C4 for Account.
