On the divi sion on the resolutions, the defeated party fully returned the compliment. The 70 Reformers achieved the Ministerial triumph by their votes. Had it been otherwise, the glorious victory would have been converted into a signal defeat. There would again have been a decisive majority, 189 plus 70=259 would have outnumbered 280-70=-210. The de sired investigation would thus have been obtained, and the side of truth and justice would ultimately have prevailed. It is, on this well-understood principle, that we invariably find the leading men of the different parties, those who are either actually in the enjoyment of official rank and emolument, or who anticipate the arrival of that happy period, oppo sing every inquiry unless the object of that inquiry is clearly indicated. It is not sufficient to show the existence of gross injustice, of grievous hardships, unless the nature of the proposed remedy is clearly indicated and explained to the House. It would indeed be strange if it were not of such a character as to excite the hostility or alarm the prejudices of some few whose voices might prove suf ficiently potential to turn the nicely-balanced scale. Thus we find the Right Hon. Member for the University of Cambridge—a quondam and per haps a future Chancellor of the Exchequer —an nouncing to the effect that he could not consent to go into Committee to arrange a change of taxation unless he had a tolerably good idea of what that change was to be. This is true official strategy, the manoeuvre invariably resorted to. Mr. DISRAELI, with an acute perception of the system, withheld his project until he should lay it with all its details before the Committee. He explained the nature of the grievance he intended to remedy, but he did not indicate the mode by which it was to be carried into execution. It was forthwith assumed that he contemplated an increase of the property and income-tax, with all its inequali ties, and torrents of eloquence were poured out in opposition to the phantom, and his motion was con sequently rejected. So it has ever been, and so it will ever be, until those who are justly dissatisfied with the existing state of things :agree to lay aside their minor differences, and, for once at least, to unite in obtaining a full investigation into the general system, with a view to the removal of every grievance. Why, we ask, might no t a ll parties coalesce in supporting a motion for the ap pointment of a Committee to take into their conside ration the general system of taxation, with a view of ascertaining what changes, if any, would be expe dient and equitable ? Surely the suffrages of all parties might be united to carry a resolution that would not pledge the House to the adoption of any particular course, but which would give all classes and interests full opportunities of being heard in their own defence. We offer this suggestion for the guid ance of those who are justly dissatisfied with the present state of affairs. r ilE LEGAL TITLE ASSURANCE COMPANY. (Provisionally Registered, January 17, 1849.)

Unfortunately the penalties of their contention must have fallen in the first instance, in the event of any disaster, upon the public. It may be all very pleasant for the pointsmen or switchers of two belligerent lines of railway to have a tussle about the pas sage of a train,—it may be capital fun (and doubtless it was capital fun) for the engine -drivers of the East Lancashire Company and of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company to back their locomotives, buffer against buffer, and try who could conquer or blow up first—it is possibly an agreeable as well as a : and i i e fi le c c a o T tons across an u i f a cetious mode of interrupti ng the monotony of rail way duties to erect temporary fort ifications I t r s a e a adrp Cor poral tc as U n cle arterial c a o s nstrcomplacentlyucted dhes TRIM in the skittle - ground at the en d cf the shrub bery b u t all that we w ou ld im plore of railway directors and th e i r subor dinates, whenever they may in futur e feel dis posed to recreate themse lves with these innocent littl e explosions of pugnacity, is, that they will avoid im perilling the lives of her MAJES TY'S lieges, and inter fering so very rashly with their general convenience. As luck would hare it, the quarrel which we are about to submit to consideration was attended with no melancholy catastrophe, although the most fatal con sequences might have resulted from the insane wrath of its promoters. It is from this circum stance alone that we are enabled to regard with a feeling of good-humoured derision an occurrence that might otherwise have excited merely horror and indignation. From the accounts which have already been pub lished, in reference to the recent dispute between those two great northern associations, it would appear that the East Lancashire Company have been per mitted,until towards the close of last week, to run their trains over three or four miles of the line belonging to the Lancashire an dY or k sh i re R ail way—affording com - pensatiou for that privilege by paying certain stipu- The Perfc Mr. Mitchell begs also to announce that, notwithstanding the in. creased expenses of the present entertainment, the prices of admis. !don are determined as follows: Boxes .. ss.

Every thing in the, arrangement h::s gone on hitherto as merrily as " a marriage bell " that being, in the estimation of Childe Harold (though, unhappily, his estimate was uncorroborated by his ex- perience), the most hilarious article of ironmongery. But on the Bth and 9th instant certain documents were exchanged between the secretaries of the two companies, announcing, on the one part, the deter mination of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway not to allow the trains of the East Lancashire Rail way to pass the Clifton Junction in future, without delivering up the invoices of the goods, or the tickets of the passengers, and intimating, on the other part, the resolution of the East Lancashire Company, to proceed as usual, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company to the contrary, neverthe less, notwithstanding. Now, both the companies appear to possess in a very large degree that national quality which Mr. EMERSON considers to be the pre vailing characteristic of Englishmen. They both have pluck. Both abound in what the Scotch term "wilfu' men," and all the " wilfu' men" of both companies would "gang their ane gait." The consequence was, of course, a collision, but un fortunately the collision was of a physical descrip tion. Instead of knocking their own heads together (which would doubtless have been mutually service able), they tried to knock together the heads of their passengers, and by that means settle their dispute in a right royal way, by deputy. As we are rather of the same mind, however, with Made moiselle Jeannette in the song; and as we would wil lingly, if possible, lay it down as an universal axiom— " Let those who make the quarrels Be the only men to fight!" we do at once, and most earnestly, deprecate the conduct pursued by the officials of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company in obstructing the line with barricades of timber, and in otherwise striving to gratify a pique at the expense of the un conscious and unoffending public. Well may the general manager of the East Lancashire Railway, when recounting the result of these extraordinary proceedings, express the horror and astonishment with which he saw one of the trucks backed on to another shunt and impelled along a different line of rails in the face of other trains approaching from Manchester I SPAIN.

Letters from Pesth announce il;e arrival of Prince WINDISCHGRATZ at Buda. He is said to have been wounded in some of the recent battles. Great excitement prevails at Prague, and it is ex pected that the city will be declared in a state of siege. . Comparatively speaking, it matters little to the public whether or not the conduct of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway authorities was dictated by feelings of jealousy, but it does concern the public most deeply, both in regard to its convenience, and especially in regard to the safety of its life and property, that trains full of goods and travellers should be jeopardised through the irritability of Captain LAWS, or through the illegal " pluck" of any general manager, be he Captain, Commodore, or Admiral-of-the-Fleet. Any occurrence so disgraceful has not hitherto been re corded in the annals of our great railroad under takings. Until the proceedings of last Monday morning at the Clifton Junction, the rivalry of dif ferent companies has scarcely ever proved otherwise than advantageous to the public—and, most certainly, until then, that rivalry had never imperilled public life and public property. Before Captain Laws, with a temerity which may yet recoil severely upon himself, ventured to adjudicate upon his own case, and to fight the battles of his company, in true railway style, by steam—the competition be ween line and line had only furbished up the abilities, the promptitude, and the enterprise of different com panies, just as bits of iron are polished by the friction of an ingenious instrument called the scrap-drum in one of the railway workshops in the railway town of Wolverton. Here, however, is a case so un-• paralleled that it must always be looked to hereafter as a precedent. Let the law render that precedent beneficial to the na tional interest. Otherwise, the petulance, or as Mr. EMERSON might perhaps call it, the pluck of ' Captain LAWS may on another occasion compel us to catalogue the number of killed and wounded in one of his Battles of the Steam-engines.

Dutch Papers, March 14. ITALY. The Ministers of England and France have given notice to CHARLES ALBERT ,that if he recommence hostilities against the Austrians they should demand their passports. The following manifesto has been published at Rome : " THE ROMAN REPUBLIC TO ALL NATIONS. " THE CONSTITUENT ♦SSEMBLY. " A new nation presents itself to you to solicit and to offer friendly feeling, respect, fraternity. The nation that formerly was the most illustrious on the face of the earth, presents itself to you as a new one. But between the ancient grandeur and this resurrection the Papal power stood for upwards of a thousand years. People of Europe, we knew each other when the name of the people of Rome inspired terror ; we have known each other whe❑ our name excited pity. Yoti may abhor the memory of that age of dominion and violence, but you cannot condemn us to excite for ever the pity of the world. Which of you would wish to be pitied? The people of the Roman State have determined to re form their political constitution, and have created a Republic; and before this great act of the imprescripti ble sovereignty of the people, the past is destroyed and vanishes. The people have willed it. Who is above the people? God alone; but God created the people for liberty. The people have willed it, and they need not seek justification for the past; their reason is anterior to every human act. But, if we turn our eyes to the past, we may with tranquillity contemplate the ruins of the Papal power, much more so than the latter, when it con templated the ruins of our ancient political greatness. The history of Italy was a tale of sorrow, and a large portion of it was ascribed to the Papal power. And, notwithstanding, when the Pope came forward and placed the cross on the national banner, the world saw that the Italians were ready to forget the faults of the Holy See, and the revolution began in the name of a Pope; but that was the touchstone of what a Pope could or could not do. The predecessors of the last Sovereign had been too cautious to attempt the trial, and their power was measured only by the misery entailed upon the people. The last Sovereig❑ was the first to risk the attempt, anti wished to atop wr:t•n he discovered that he had revealed a terrible truth, namely, the impotency of the Papal power to render the Italian nation tree, independent, aed glorious; he wi.•bed to withdraw from the work, but it was too late, for Papacy had judged itself. It is hence that the down fall of Popery has been so near its glory; the glory of the Papal power was the northern light that precedes the darkness. We still hoped, but a system of reaction was the answer that came from the Papal power. Re action fell; the Pope at first dissembled, saw the tran quillity of the people, and fled; and in his flight he bore with him the certainty of exciting civil war; he violated the political constitution, lett us without a Government, repelled the messengers of the people, fomented discord, then threw himself into the arms of the most ferocious enemy of Italy, and excommu nicated the people! These facts sufficiently show that the Papal Sovereignty neither could, nor would, modify itself, and nothing was left but to bear it or de stroy it. It was destroyed. If the liberality of kings, or the toleration of nations, had placed the Papal power in the city of the Scipios and Ctesars, instead of in the heart of France, or on the banks of the Danube or the Thames, was that a reason for depriving the Italians of all the rights common to nations—the country and li berty? And if it be true that the possession of a tem poral Sovereignty be necessary to the spiritual power of the Pontificate, although it was not on such a condition that Jesus Christ promised immortality to his Church, was Rome then destined to become the patrimony of the Pope, and be so for ever? Rome, the patrimony of a Sovereignty, that to subsist was forced to oppress, and to be glorious was forced to fall? And, as a patri 'mony of Papacy, was Rome to be the permanent cause of the ruin of Italy? Rome, whose tradi tions, whose name, nay, whose ruins so loudly speak of liberty and patriotism? Provoked and aban doned to ourselves, we have effected the revolution with out spilling a drop of blood—we have re-edified almost without letting the sound of demolition be heard—we have completely uprooted the sovereignty of the Popes, after having patiently submitted to it for so many ages —not from any hatred of Papacy, but from love of our country. When a revolution has been effected with such morality of purpose and means, it is at once proved that this people did not deserve to be under the sway of Papacy, but was worthy of being its own master, worthy of the Republic! It is worthy, therefore, of being admitted into the great family of nations, and of obtaining your friendship and esteem. The Roman Republic will bear the stamp of its origin. It will make a free people de fend the religious independence of the Pontiff, to whom the religion of a republican people will be worth more than a few roods of territory. The Roman Republic proposes to apply the laws of morality and universal charity to the line of conduct it intends to follow, and to the development of its political life.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment today in this case, the arguments in which were concluded on Wed nesday last. The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Vice• Chancellor Wigram, who had refused to grant a new trial of an issue relating to the ownership of a house in Wales. The contest. which was a family one, turned upon the question whe ther the title under which the plaintiff claimed was a legal one, by means of an assignment to one James Evans, or only a permissive one. The jury at the trial found a verdict in favour of the plaintiff, and the defendant ap plied by motion io the court below for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The Vice- Chancellor Wigram refused to grant the new trial, and from that decision the defendant appealled to this branch of the Court. His Lordship, after going shortly into the case, stated his opinion to be that the defendant was entitled to a new trial, thereby reversing the decision of thu Court below. Judgment reversed and new trial granted. Th., Court then proceeded to hear unopposed lunatic petitions. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls heard causes to-day, but no case of any interest except to the parties concerned came before his Lordship during the morning. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. On the afternoon of Wednesday two of the men convicted of the murder of General BREA were shot. The others will, it is said, be sent to the gallies for life. The village of St. Maur, near the Bois de Vincennes, is to be permanently garrisoned by 20,000 men. M. DUCHESNE, editor of Le Peuple, and M. Louis MERCARD, author of a feuilleton published in that journal, were sentenced by default on Wednesday by the Court of Assize of Paris to imprisonment for four years, and to pay a fine of 5,000 f. The llioniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing 13 captains and two lieu tenants to command in the Republican navy. The Moniteur also publishes a letter from Mr. TURNBULL, the British Consul at Granville, ad dressed to Captain JAYET DE GERCOURT, of the Go vernment steamerPasse-Partout, announcing that he is commissioned by Lord PALMERSTON, Secretary of State for Foreign Aff a i rs t o t h e Queen of ENGLAND, to express his gratitude to the brave sailors of the Government steamer Passe-Partout for their huma nity in having, on January 11th, gone to the relief of an English sloop, the Little Gem, which was in danger of being wrecked near the port of Granville, and bringing her safe into harbour; and his regret at the loss of five of the sailors from the upsetting of one of the boats of the Passe-Partout, and to present to the two survivors a medal and 101. each, 241. to each of the families of four of the men who perished, and 361. to the widow of the fifth, who was a quarter master. The following is the result of the second ballot for the election of President of the National Assembly for the ensuing month : M. A. MARRAST, 378 ; M. DUFAURE, 256 ; M. GREYT, 31 ; M. BILLAULT, 6. M. MARRAST was then declared to be duly elected President of the As sembly. The frequenters of the Parisian salon.: have been greatly amused by the circulation of a piquant piece of scandalous gossip, of which the chief of the reactionary party is the hero. The Place St. George was, it seems, on Tuesday disturbed from its propriety by sounds of discord proceeding from the hotel of M. THIERS. The sounds at length became so alarming that the sentinel on duty entered the house to ascertain the cause, when he found M. and Madame TRIERS engaged in fierce combat, and experienced, considerable difficulty in separating them. The trial of the accused of the 15th May is still proceeding at Bourges. The proceedings of Wednesday were principally devoted to the investigation of the charges against BLAN4UI. Among the witnesses examined were MM. FLOCON and TASCREREAU. It was rumoured on the Bourse that an attempt had been made at Turin to proclaim a Republic, but that it bad been suppressed, and that the KING had sent for GIOBERTI. The report, however, did not obtain much credit. It was also reported that the English and French Governments had agreed upon a joint note to Russia, relative to the conduct of the Russian Government at Constantinople, in which note the two Governments distinctly declare that any attempt on the part of Russia to force the Dardanelles will be considered by them as a casus Belli. The Journal du Havre states, that the Government of the Republic has received intelligence from Buenos Ayres, that Mr. SOUTHERN had succeeded in arrang ing the differences subsisting between the Engliah Government and that of General Roses. Italian agents are making large purchases of arms in Paris. The Five per Cents. fell on the Passage de l'Opera on Wednesday night to 25f. and closed at 85f. 40c. Propositions have been made within the last few days, on the part of the Turkish Government, to the Polish officers now in Paris, offering them the same rank in the service of the SULTAN that they held in the Polish army, and in case they accept the offer they are requested to proceed immediately to Con stantinople. Eight cases of cholera have taken place in Paris since the 9th, two of which were fatal. The disease is said to be of a much milder character than in 1832. Most of the cases just mentioned h ave ta k en place in the Gros Caillou, which was so much ravaged by that terrible scourge during its first visit. It was currently reported in Paris yesterday that a collision had taken place between the Piedmontese and the Austrians, in which the latter had been de feated. The French Government, however, had re ceived no intelligence of such collision.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUAR7ER 70 7 !MEE. There was a dull Marxet for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, and prices were id. lower than on Friday last. The sales amounted to about 3 500 bales, including 500 for exportation.—Railway shares were dull, and very little business was doing. There are no arrivals with later intelligence from the colonies or distant parts, but there is almost exclusive attention paid to the continent,( ad • vices. Scarcely, as it seems, can any one sightly come to a conclusion as to the quarter whence danger is to be apprehended, fo,r if half the rumours to hand were true, there would scarcely be any part where matters could be said to look well. We must be collected, how ever, in these times, and not foster that want of confi dence so detrimental to trade. Already the money market is seriously agitated, and in business walks there is a disposition to hold back until some definite news transpires. This news an hour may bring forth. A fair business, circumstances considered, has been done this week in the Produce Markets, but no decided activity can be quoted in any article except Sugar, which well supports its value. The rate of discount does not vary to any extent, and there is perhaps rather less demand for money than there was a short time back. The Corn Market continues in a most depressed con dition, and sales are extremely difficult. Wheat has ranged, for Essex white samples, from the low figure of 365. for very inferior, to 525. for the finest white. Attention has very properly been called to a case of considerable importance_ connected with the shares of joint-stock companies, which, it is, perhaps, scarcely known to one in a hundred persons, have been held to be alternately real and at other times personal property, a most serious state of things to legatees and others, and one demanding a prompt settlement. The English Stocks have been materially influenced by the heavy decline in the French Rentes, although our market did not sympathise much therewith when they were so rapidly, and as most persons thought, unduly advancing. It is reasonable even now to infer that the Paris Bourse gives way more in consequence of the arrangements for the settlement, and the heaviness of the Bull account than from any other cause, the Italian news coming, nevertheless, in aid of the speculators for a fall. As usual at such periods, it re quires great nerve to operate against the current of opinion among the jobbers and dealers, and our own Funds are nearly in the same position. To-day a hull ac count, which had been allowed to be carried over from Tuesday last, bad to be arranged, and thus, with out much dealing in money stock, there has been a further marked re-action in prices. The future course of the market now mainly depends upon the foreign news, and according as it reads well or the reverse will Bulls or Bears predominate. A slight circumstance turns the scale. Consols have realised 90i for Transfer, and 90i to 91 for Account. Later they have been done at 90i :I, and at 904 Ex chequer-bills have been marked 40.. to 425. premium. The Foreign Market is heavier. At Amsterdam, on Thursday, there was a decline. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 15i to 16k; and the Three per Cents 284; Portuguese Four per et nts. have bees 264; Mexican are 284- to 274; Austrian have been 75i; Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. 484 to 49k. Railway Shares are lower, but there has not been much doing. Among the holders of Irish Shares great anxiety is manifested to 1,-•arn what will be the nature of the asbbtance granted by Government; and the Dublin and Belfast, it is again reported, will now leceive a suffi cient advance to bring it to cAnpletion.

The Chambers were still occupied on the 12th in discussing the Address. The paragraph relating to German unity has been postponed until the decision of the Frankfort Parliament upon WELCKER'S propo sition shall be known. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the 12th March, WELCKER moved that the hereditary dignity of Emperor should be conferred on the house of Hohenzollern. This motion took the Parliament by surprise, but the general opinion is that it will be carried. The following is the report of the important sitting of the 12th March. Schuler (of Jena) asked the Minister for Foreign Af fairs whether h e was aware of any protest hav i ng b een made by Russi a to any of the German Governments, or whether any s uc h nistry ? protest had reached the Imperial Mi- The Minister answered in the negative, adding that he did not believe any such protest had been made by Russia. Raumer reminded the Ministry that it had been em powered by the Assembly, many weeks back, to treat with Austria in a suitable way, and at a suitable time, in reference to the future re-elections of Austria to the German State. The Ministry had in consequence dis patched a note to the Austrian Government, under date of the 22d January ult. Had Austria returned any answer to that note ? And if so, what was the present state of the negotiations ?—(To be answered to- morrow .) The Pre s id ent t h en gave notice of a motion of Welcker's, the urgency of which the mover prayed for leave to establish. Amid a general hush and great at tention, he then read as follows: " Motion of Deputy Welcker. " In consequence of the critical condition of the father land, the Nations' Assembly resolves— " 1. In the face of the manifold reports now abroad con cerning the intentions of foreign powers to interfere with the constitution which is to be elaborated by the National Assembly, the said Assembly resolves to declare, as far as regards all foreign powers, its feelings of indignation at any such thought of encroachment on the holiest pri maeval right of every free people, and to express its ab horrence, as regards any individual German, whether prince or burgher, who should treasonably evoke such encroachment; and, at the same time, the . Assembly expects that the German nation will d efend its honour to a man, and rebut every attempt to v iolate it. "2. The Germ a n Imperial Constitution, as it is now presented in a revised form, in which due rega r d h s been paid to the wishes of the Governments , shall be adopted in one s i ng le comprehensive resolution by the National Assembly, and every salutary emendation that may hereafter be necessary shall be left to the next Con stitutional Imperial Parliament. "3. The hereditary dignity of Emperor of Germany, as determined in the revised code of constitution, shall be conferred on his Majesty the King of Prussia. 4. The German Princes, in a body, are invited to close magnaminously and patriotically with this reso lution, and to further its realization to the best of their power. " 5. A large deputation of Members of' the National Assembly shall be sent to notify to his Majesty the King of Prussia his election to the herediatry dignity of Ger man Emperor. " 6. His Maj es ty th e E mperor of Austria, as sove reign over the German Austrian lands, and the kindred races inhabiting those lands, singly and collectively, are now and for ever invited and called upon to enter into the German Federal State. " 7. The German National Assembly solemnly and eternally protests against any and every right assumed by the Government of the German •Austrian lands, or by those lands themselves, to detach itself or themselves from the German fatherland, and from the Constitution resolved upon by its collective will. " 8. The German National Assembly is ready, as long as difficulties shall exist, which may chance to prevent the realization of the full entrance of the German-Aus trian lands within the pale of the Constitution, to main tain existing brotherly relations, so far as is consistent with the unimpaired independence of the German Impe rial Constitution." A tremendous sensation was created by the reading of this motion. For fall fiv e m i nutes the proceedings of the House were intermitted, the Members being in ani-. mated conversation in groups. Among the reporters there was considerable doubt that the name of the mover had been heard rightly; but this was completely set aside when the repeated call s , effect, an d Welcker ascended the " To your pl aces ! t o y our r p o l s a t c r e u s m r ; b f e o g r a t n he to qn ta e k stion as to whether a hearing should be granted him having previously been put, the House rose in a body.—(Loud cheers from the gallery.) Welcker then ,sairl—" Gentlemen, allow me to at tempt, in a few words, to establish the urgency of the mo tion that has just been read; and previously to this, let me disabuse the Assembly of i the idea th at I h ave been in consistent in bringing t forward. Th e en d eavours I made against an hereditary supremacy .and for a di rectory, were not the consequence either of any aversion on my part to Prussia, or of any predilection for Austria. It was the hop e o f consummating German unity, of providing for the weal of our fatherland, that actuated me.—(Loud cheers on th e R ight and Centre.) I thought, at the time, that the plats of the directory might mike it possible for Austria to enter into the federal state. I could not convince myself that Austria either would or could not do so, but I had not the policy of the Austrian Cabinet iu my p oc k et. N ow I am convinced that, under existing circumstances, Austria cannot join us, and it was of this that I wished to be con vinced before I went to extremes. Willingly will I give my political friends the glory of having seen further than I did; but they must allow me also to be proud of having delayed the r upture with A ustr i a so long as it was consistent with the welfare of our father land to do so. Think only of the opprobrium that would have been cast upon us, could it have been fairly said that we, by out: hasty and intemperate measures, had excluded Austria? We have not done so; we have waited till to wait longer were a crime ; and by the mo tion that we now adopt, we may still prove to our Aus trian brethren that we have German hearts, and are ready at once to extend to them the hand of brotherhood when they are willing to receive it.—(L ou d c h eers on the Right and Centre.) It is and will be of great ad vantage to us that we have not been hasty—in the eyes of the German people, in the eyes of Europe this will do us service. —(Great cheering.) Gentlemen, need I tell you what dangers hover over us. Shall I suppose that you will wa it and hesitate till the intrigues of Cabinets have grown too powerful for you? No; wait or yield we will not. We will stand up in one consoli dated body confronting foreign Powers ; and if the contest comes, G erman y shall be victorious. —(G rest cheering.) Y es , I d ou b t not that even the Catholics of Baden and Bavaria are keenly alive to the conviction that Germany must b e save d ; an d that against every attempt from without, and against every endeavour to baffle the independent growth of the Constitution, our people will rise to a man in the defence of its liberties. Let us even suppose that Austria yields eventually, yet we cannot wait for months till it makes the resolve ; in the meanwhil e i t i s to the K i ng o f Pruss ia that we must look for protection. And supposing there should exist a bare possibilit y o f Austria ' s comp li an ce, i t must still rest with the King of Prussia, as Emperor of Germany, to fix the ultimatum. Whatever Austria resolv es to do, let us, at any rate, b e ready. Our cou ntry .is in danger —oh, save our country!"—(Loud and continued cheers from the Right and Centre benches.) Vischer (of Tubingen) begged to remind the inter national committee of his motion respecting the intru sion of Russian soldiery into Siebenburgen. The report would soon be ready. The order of the day lead to the second reading of the chapter of the constitution, entitled " The Imperial Court of Judicature," when sec. 127 of the constitution was attempt to debate on the next adopted as foll ows: " The jurisdi c ti on appertaining to t h e em pi re i s exer cised by an imp er i al court of judicature ." It was found a d v i sable to adjourn b e f ore e l even a.m., after a very imperfect section, so gr eat was the excitement cause d b y W elcker ' s motion, which w as or d ered to be pr i n t e d, .the Preside n t proposing to pl ace i t on an early occasion, probably Thursday, on the order of the day. SCHMERLING has resigned his appointment as Austrian Plenipotentiary. Tau NETHERLANDS. THE lIAGuE, MARCH 13.—The project of law re lative to the revenue, which was submitted to the Second Chamber, was accompanied by voluminous financial documents, from which it appears that the State, which at the close of 1847 presented a surplus of nearly 900,000 florins, showed at the close of 1848 a deficit of 11,148,543 florins. This was occasioned in part by the sun) of 1,559,600 florins granted addi tionally to th e W ar Department for the regulation of the monetary sy s t em, &c. The budget of the expen- , VICE - CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) TWINING V. POWELL. Mr. TOLLER said this was a petition of Miss Mary Powell, one of the defendants, and several other persons, to whom she had conveyed a piece of land for the pur poses of an almshouse, which she had built and en dowed with a sum of 14,0001., at Bidswell, in Leicester shire. The object of the petition was that out of the sum of 14,0001., standing in court, 6,000!. should be appropriated to the purpose of endowing those alms houses. Elizabeth West, the testatrix in the cause, gave all the residue of her real and personal estate to her brother and niece, James Powell, and the petitioner, Mary Powell, having previously given a legacy of 10,000/. to a lady of the name of Lydia Moss, with a proviso that should the said Lydia Moss and the petitioner, Mary Powell, die and leave no children living at their deaths, the property so left was to go in charity. The case, on a previous day, came on for further directions, and his Honour declared that the petitioner, Mary Powell, in her own right, or in right of the said James Powell, deceased, was entitled absolutely to the clear residuary estate, except the petitioner should die without having a child living at her death; and that one moiety (excluding certain property not pure per sonalty) would be applicable from that time to charita ble purposes. Then there was a reference to the Master, and the Master made his report that 14,000/. odd, con sols, was the sum in question now to be disposed of, under the provisions of the testatrix's will. Miss Mary Powell, the petitioner, in the month of December, 1847, executed a deed by which she conveyed some land in the parish of Bidswell, in Leicestershire, to the other petitioners, having previously built some almshouses on that land. The short provision of the deed was, that the trustees named in the deed were to have the nomi nation of the occupiers of those almshouses, subject to Miss Powell's approbation, so long as she lived; and then after her death the nomination was to be in the trustees alone, two of the trustees, who were at-officio, being the clerg ) men of the parish of Bidswell and the adjoining parish. Miss Powell was now desirous of relinquishing her interest in 6,000!., part of the 14,000/. Consols; pro vided that sum was to go to the permanent endowment of the almshouses in question. That scheme had been approved of by the Attorney-Genet;al. His HoNoun. asked if the land was now officiall in mortmain, and if the charity was now fixed on the y land ? Mr. TOLLER replied that the charity was now fixed on the land. There were twelve persons who would occupy the almshouses, and the income of the 6,000/. would be 180/. a year, exclusive of income. tax ; and it was now proposed that the trustees should apply ss. a week to the twelve occupants of the almshouses, which would a mount to 656/. per annum, and it was also proposed that the surplus should be re- tallied by the trustees to meet any contingent expenses • --~~~ DI7I3LIN, ArAren 13.—Arra.

During the present week the fresh arrivals of English Wheat for uur market, coastwise, has not exceeded 2,770 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. By land-car' riage the supply has been extremely limited. To-daf the stands were very scantily filled with samples, yet the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was In a very depressed state. To effect sales lower rates must have been accepted by the factors. Upwards of 10,00 0 quarters of Wheat have come to band. That article met a very dull inquiry, and most descriptions might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The sale for Barley was heavy, at barely Monday's currencies. The foreign import has exceeded 5,000 quarters. In Malt next to nothing doing, at almost nominal figures- The supply of Oats was again small, nevertheless the demand for that grain was heavy at the late decline In value. Beans, Peas, and all other articles were ex tremely dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Oats. I Flour. I 2,770 qrs. 3,090 qrs. 2,510 qrs.
