Union that carried the Reform Bill. He was equally opposed to the agitation in Ireland for the Roman Ca tholic Emancipation, and yet it was that which carried the Relief Bill; and it was admitted by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Minister of the day, that the measure was granted because it was apprehended that any fur ther resistance would cause a civil war. But were the people always to be treated in this manner? Were these important questions always to be kept back until further resistance became dangerous to the peace of the state? Ile consider( d the present moment to be most oppor tune for passing such a motion as this. In a time of peace and quiet at home, when you have had re cent demonstrations of loyalty on the part of the great mass of the people—while clouds were lowering abroad, none knowing how soon they might burst—and when, notwithstanding the fidelity of those masses, there nevertheless existed vast materials of inflammable matter in our own country—at such a time he would say to the Government, be wise—wait not for agitation—look about you, and carry out all your measures of reform in peace and tranquillity. The Noble Lord admitted that some extension of the franchise was desirable —why not pro duce it now ?—(Cheers.) The tranquillity of the .. country was the strongest argument for immediately bringing it forward. Why were they tranquil? Would they have been tranquil if the Reform Bill ha d not been carried, or if the corn-law had remained in all its rigour? And even now, was there still no danger? Were there no large masses on the side of order who sympathised with the Chartist? It was a well-known fact that on the 10:h of April last year hundreds of workmen, friends of order, said to their masters, "We will protect your property, but we will not be sworn in special constables—for we will not act against our own class." These things ought to be taken seriously to heart. In voting for the present motion he was not supporting the Hon. Member for Nottingham (Mr. O'Connor); en the contrary, his wish was to diminish the influence of that Hon. Member, which he regarded as being by no means beneficial to those whose interests he professed to promote. How was that best to be done? By saying to the people—" Don't assemble to thwart and control Parliament, but meet together to elect your Members, and to assert y our just rights in a constitutional manner." It was upon this principle that the present motion was founded; and he certainly was astonished to hear the Noble Lord say . that the Reform Bill was placed on constitutional principles, but that this motion was not. So far from that, the Reform Bill introduced an entirely new principle—the 101. franchise —a mere arbitrary selection, and ono which had signally failed. Household suffrage, and suffrage by scot and lot, wero intelligible. Every man who paid rates be came an integral part of the community. In this re spect our parish vestries might be regarded as being the unit of our political institutions. The man who was rated in his parish had an interest in the taxation of his country, and he might then be said to commence his po litical existence ; but there was nothing in the mere limitation of thp amount of rent to 101., because, in some localities, 10/ mignt not be equal to 51. in other'. There was nothing very outrageous in the Honourable Member's proposition ; for as the law now stood all lodgers in a house in which the landlord did not himself reside had the right of voting. The House ought to look at the English Constitution, and not allow itself to be frightened by what happened to be going on elsewhere. —(Cries of " Divide.") The Home Secretary and the Noble Lord at the head of the Government had availed themselves to the utmost of the feelings which prevailed, not more on one side of the House than the other, of regret for the excesses which had been committed on the continent, and of thankfulness that this country had not been the scene of similar disorders. The question was, how could we best preserve the blessings of tran quillity and order—whether by adopting the measure now subrnited to the House, or by remaining as we were? There would be danger in adopting the latter alternative. The absence of all petitions on this occa sion was a circumstance fraught with alarm, for it indi cated that the people were ceasing to take an interest in the proceedings of that House. The Noble Lord at the head of the Government had said, with reference to the case of Stamford, that no exception could be taken to the Members who at present represented that borough. That was precisely the argument which used to be ad vanced in favour of the old rotten boroughs, for men of the highest ability used to sit for Gatti - ea and Old Sarum. Then, because the Hon. Member fur Montrose proposed to unite certain boroughs after the manner of the Scotch boroughs, it was said he wished for electoral divisions, although the two things were as different as light from darkness. He would not be deterred from supporting the motion by the fear of being told that he was associating himself with person.snof violent character, who wished to over throw the institutions of the country. The same thing was said 20 years ago, but those near and dear to him lived to see every measure carried which once could obtain the support of only a small minority. Therefore, he would not abate a jot of hope, for he believed that, whatever might be the decision of the Holm that night, this measure, or one similar to it, would eventually be carried.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME said that the reasons on which he had founded his motion had not been controverted, and therefore he would, without another observation, leave those who had heard the discussion, to decide upon the question. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the mod :n B2 Against it Majority . --186 The Silver eolnitge Bill was read a second time.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1849. The motion so anxiously looked for throughout the entire country was last night brought forward by JOSEPH HUME, the honest and consistent advocate of popular rights, and was, we regret to say, rejected by a majority of 186. Those who are pleased to term themselves the representatives of the people refused to take into their consideration a measure calculated to amend the national representation—to extend the elective franchise to millions who are mere political cyphers, without any voice in the election of those by whom laws are to be framed, and taxes imposed—to enable the voters to exercise their rights freely and honestly, and to bestow their suffrages., without fear, upon those whom, in their consciences, they believe to be best qualified to represent their wants and wishes in the national Legislature—to preserve that just re sponsibility of Members to the constituencies by whom they were selected, and to remove the extraordinary disproportion that at present exists between the various electoral districts. Such were the objects contemplated by the Hon. Member for Montrose; but he was denied liberty even to bring in his measure—to lay the new " Re form Bill " upon the table. The advocates for finality have prevailed on the present occasion. All those opposed to any species of reform—all those who would still keep up an extravagant and wasteful ex penditure, who would make the industrious classes provide for the interest of the National Debt and the maintenance of the national establishments, who would withhold the life blood of industry, a currency ade quate to the wants and energies of the country, mus tered strongly on the occasion, and succeeded in obtaining a temporary ti iumph. Unfortunately the Reformers, although strong out of doors, are nume rically weak within the walls of Parliament. The rival parties, the aspirants to official rank and emolu ment, whatever may be their difference in other re spects, are cordially united on one subject—to prevent any accession of strength to the popular cause. For that purpose they will heartily co operate, and for a time may succeed. But the voice of popular opinion, temperately and constitutionally expressed, must ultimately fo:ce itself upon their unwilling ears. he pressure from without must be attendee to, and will become particularly potent on the eve of a general election. When [lon. tientletnen are about to appear again before their respective constituencies, and solicit a renewal of former confidence, then, in deed, greater respect and deference will be exhibited towards measures strongly advocated out of doors, and eagerly desired by the great body of the people, questions that at present are " pooh-poohed," or superciliously rejected, will be more seriously de bated; the honest and uncompromising minority, at first few in number, but zealous, energetic, end de termined, will gradually attain more respectable dimensions. The majority will become " small by degrees and beautifully less," will dwindle away day by day, until at last it vanishes altogether, when a complete victory crowns the exertions of the cham pions of democracy. From statistical statements last night brought for ward by Mr. HuME, it appears that no more than one in ten of the adult male population of Great Britain are at present represented, while in poor, unhappy Ireland the disproportion is still more glaring. There are but 820,000 registered electors in England, Scotland, and Wales, while the people number twenty millions of persons, nearly two-fifths of whom—eight millions of souls—are adult males. The number of inhabited houses for that population are about three millions five hundred thousand. So, that if Mr. Huma's motion were car rid, and the franchise bestowed on every house• holder, more than one-half of the people would still be unrepresented. It would, however, more than quadruple the number of electors, and might therefore be received as a con siderable instalment of justice, which would for the preient be accepted by the nation, in order to unite all honest Reformers, and to conciliate those differences of opinion that will be found in every body of rational men thinking for themselves, and forming their own judgments on passing events. The questions of the ballot and triennial Parlia ments have, each in their turn, received the assent of the House of Commons. They are required to protect the voter in the exercise of his constitutional privi leges, to enable him to avoid the coercion and undue influences too frequently resorted to, and which renders the franchise a curse in place of a blessing to its possessor. The cases of intimidation cited in the discussion on the motion of the Honourable Member for Bristol sufficiently prove how essential it is that the same mode of voting for Members of Parliament should be adopted that has so long and so beneficially prevailed in clubs and societies of various kinds. The Mem bers should also be bound to appeal to their con stituencies more frequently, to ask whether they have fulfilled the promises made on the hustings, if they have fulfilled the reasonable expectations of those who elected them to seats i n the Legislature. The ballot and triennial Parlia ments are now looked upon by every sincere Re former as measures that cannot long be protracted, that must speedily be conceded to the wishes of the people. But, perhaps, the greatest anomaly of all, the most indefensible of the existing regulations, which carries on the face of it the greatest absurdity, is the dispro portion between the sizes of the various boroughs. Hence the statement of the Hon. Member with re spect to this inequality. He says— " He had made a comparison between the great and small constituencies. He had taken 16 boroughs con taining a population of 2.917,000, being one-half of the whole population of England. Those 16 boroughs re turned 32 Members. He wished the House to c,,mpare them with 23 small boroughs, where there were only 100 000 inhabitants, and yet they returned as meey Members as That immense population in the former 16 ' boroughs. Nor could any man say that was a fair par ticipation in the elective franchise to which all were en titled by the constitution? He asked a fair participa• Lion not as a favour, but as a constitutional right. Would any man place himself in the situation of any one of those who were deprived of those rights, and see how he would aet if he was compelled to remain in that situation." Here then are one hundred thousand persons re turning _as many. Members,_ and exercising as much political power as thirty times their number, who inhabit the metropolitan districts and the large manu facturing towns. Well might the Honourable Member exclaim that " no other legislative assembly but an English one would suffer such an absurdity to exist." Take the subsequent calculation, where the Honour 'Able Member stated— " lle found 28 English boroughs returned two Mem bers each, with only 500 registered electors each. Fifteen other boroughs returned only two Members, and had each more than 5,000 registered doctors. Thus, while London had four Members with 20,00 Q (lectors, Carlisle and Reigate, with only 606 electors, also re turned four Members. It was impossible to make the absurdity more glaring; yet the country gentlemen of England, and those connected with the aristocracy, sat themselves quietly down under the mistaken notion that nobody saw the inequality." If statements such as these do not excite the atten tion of Members, it can only be because they are determined to sanction " no further reforms," Democracy is the very atmosphere breathed by Frenchmen, and although Monsieur GuizoT may mutter a sardonic hint to the contrary, it is an atmo sphere essential to the vitality of the political insti tutions of his countrymen. In proof of this we have only to take the succession of events in France since February. When, on Saturday the 26th of February, 1848, the Provisional Government declared Royalty abolished and Republicanism proclaimed, it was said that the whole affair was a coup d etat—that France did not want any change of the kind, that the whole was the result of a conspiracy, the contrivance of a gang of adventurers, not the solemn and unanimous wish of a population. Well, days passed over, weeks passed over, months passed over, and what has been the consequence ? Has Royalty been restored? Has Republicanism been repudiated ? Far from it. Every additional act has been a confirmation of that initia tive act of the Provisional Government. And at the very time when plots have been developing them selves both within France and beyond her frontiers, both among the ultra-Socialists and the ultra- Royalists, among the advocates of anarchy and of reaction, the people have clung through all changes, through all catastrophes, through , all vicissitudes to the democratic principles pro claimed by the men of February. Those democratic principles survived the daring attack of 200,000 workmen on the 17th of March ; they called forth in their defence, spontaneously, like the work of magic, 200,000 members of the National Guard and of the Guard Mobile, on the 16th of April ; they survived the desperate assaults of the pretended friends of Poland on the 15th of May; they passed trium phantly through the tremendous ordeal of the three sanguinary days of June. On the 4th of May, 1848, they were consolidated by the inauguration of the National Assembly, and on the 28th of May, 1849, by that of the Le gislative Assembly. Even when the representative of the greatest of all the sovereigns who had ever wielded the sceptre of France, the representative of the imperial dynasty, received the suffrages of the electors, he was welcomed not as the descendant of a crowned head, but as the representative of the Sol dier of Democracy, he was elevated not to the throne, but to the chair of Presidency, the Presidency of the French Republic. Beyond all which, it must be borne in recollection that the Republic received the truest expression of approval ever accorded since the commencement of the labours of civilization to any one form ofgovernment— it was accepted, and the accep tance was reiterated again and again under the cover of the ballot and through universal suffrage ! Show us any monarchy consecrated by universal suffrage ! Show us any political institutions the truth of the votes in favour of which has been so universally proved by the employment of the urn of election ! Yet, in spite of all these brilliant and decisive argu ments, M. GuizoT sneers at the instability, at the insecurity, at the evanescence of moderate democracy in France ! It remains yet to be shown upon what right the bankrupt politician of Old Bramp ton presumes to advance any opinion whatever upon the political institutions of his country. Why it is notorious by this time to every schoolboy that this elderly gentleman, who takes upon himself the office of talking oracles about French government in the pages of a dry pamphlet, was such an igno ramus as to the real nature of the rights and wishes of the French multitude that he brought the whole monarchical system down about his ears by his blindness and his obstinacy. To show the facility with which every one of the sophisms advanced by D.I. Gutz )T in his " Dtiancratie en France" may be exposed, a hook has recently been published in London and Paris, from the manuscripts of one of the WELLESLEYS. Although written by an Englishman, the work is not only penned in very graceful and flowing French, but displays a remark able familiarity with the exigencies of the age in the great continental democracy.* Upon one or two points no doubt the two pamphleteers are of the same opinion. In their detestation of Communism they thoroughly sympathise, abhorring with an equal inten sity doctrines subversive of all society—of all family— of all good government. The Ehglish publicist, how ever, is wholly in favour of a broad, national system of government, the French being, on the contrary, wholly fur the compacted but brittle concentration of the administrative powers, a system which his antagonist rather felicitously terms " cette funeste politique d'iaolement." As to the sincerity, nevertheless, with which France regards the democratic principles, the fact does not repose on the argument ofa pamphleteer, it is blazoned in the history of France between this present time and the revolutionary explosion of February. W hen HYDE DE NEUVILLE, in the April of last year, said, in answer to the question, "What do you think of LAMARTINE ?" " Il a bien lair d'un in cendiare qui s' est fait pornpicr—He seems like an incendiary who has turned fireman !" he spoke with a witty appreciation of the position of France at that extraordinary period of emergency. The bon mot expressed felicitously enough the extremes of action to which France had just then been driven by the wicked rulers expelled by the recent outbreak. But it failed to acknowledge tha truth which has become an axiom with historians from the time of TACITUB to that of MACAULAY, that revolutions are never, can aievea he the result of a conspiracy, the deed of a little band of intriguers—that, on the contrary, each revolution is the fruit of ages, the act of a whole generation. France, not LAMARTINE, was the in cendiary in February. 'lsamaivriNE, not France, was the fireman. Had not the people been ripe of themselves for the revolution, not LAMARTINE, great man as he is, nay not a hundred Lamartines, could have brought about the catastrophe of Febru ary ! On the other hand, had it not been for the courage, the eloquence, the integrity of LAMARTINE, on the night of the 25th of February, 1848, the con flagration would not only have ravaged France, but would have spread with irrepressible fury over the Continent. These things should not be forgotten. They cannot be repeated too frequently. Time has shown not less conspicuously than the purity of M. DE LAMARTINE'S patriotism, the devotion with which France clings to that Democracy which his noble ora tions were the means of inaugurating. • " De la France Contemporaine, et de ses Divisions Hie rarcbiques.

Sec., pro tem. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. There has been another delay in the presentation of the PRESIDENT'S Message. It had been promised for yesterday, but at the sitting of the Assembly it was intimated that the Message would not be pre sented on that day, although a sort of promise was made that another day would not be suffered to elapse without the presentation of this important document. These delays have occasioned considerable uneasiness on the Bourse, as they are considered indicative of a schism in the new Cabinet ; indeed the Presse ex pressly declares that the new Cabinet is in a state of dissolution, and that M. DE Faaaoux and Ge neral RULIIIERES will be compelled to leave, as they insist on active intervention in the affairs of Rome for the restoration of the tempo ral power of the POPE, and on introducing a measure which shall place the whole system of education throughout France under the exclusive superintene dente and control of the priests, to neither of which measures are the other members of the Cabinet in clined to give their support. La Patrie states that the Message of the PRESIDENT of the Repub;ic had not been delivered on Monday, in consequence of the extent of the exposition of the general affairs of the Republic, into which it was necessary to enter according to the terms of the Con stitution, and which could not be completed within the time specified by M. ODILON BARROT. The National Assembly on Monday elected MM. DE PANAT and BAZE as Questors. General LEBRE-. TON, however, who had resigned in order to prevent the authority of the Questor being insulted by General CuANGAREIER, polled 140 votes. A motion of M. EMANUEL ARAGO, for a Parliamentary inquiry into the elections of Lot and Garonne, was rejected by a majority of i 319 to 191. The allega tion was that the election n question had been influ enced by the dispatch of M. LEON FAUCHER. In the same sitting, M. DUFAURE announced the speedy introduction of several measures for affording assistance to the labouring cl asses; an d M . L EDRU ROLLIN gave notice for Thursd a y o f severa l inter pellations which he intends to address to the Govern ment on the subject of their foreign policy, and more especially with regard to the affairs of Rome. The French Government received yesterday an official .announcement that M. LESSEP,I, the Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary at Rome, has positively become deranged in his intellect. A letter is said to have been addressed to the PRESIDENT of the Republic by M. LESSEPS himself, in which he proposes to him (the PRESIDENT) a detailed plan of a bedchamber. It was believed this unhappy inci dent would still further complicate the Italian question. The Minister of Commerce and Agriculture has received a telegraphic dispatch from the Prefect of the department of the Lower Rhine, dated Stras burg, the 24th of June, announcing that the em bargo placed at Manheim on the steam-boat which plies between that town and Kehl had been removed on the 2d inst., and the boat had resumed her occu pation. The reactionary club of MM. BUGEAUD, MoLE, and TUIERS held a sitting on Monday night, at which it was determined to introduce a measure by which the majority of the National Assembly will be enabled to ride rough shod over the minority, and to stifle all discussion they propose to increase the authority of the PRESI DENT, and to give the Assembly the power of impri soning and expelling any of its Members; they also proposed to sir, press the standing committees of the House, and to introduce a law, authorising General CHANGARNIER to unite the command of the garri son of Paris w ith that of the National Guard, in violation of the fundamental principles of the Consti tution.' On the recommendation of M. LITERS the further consideration of this last question was ad journed. The mee ti ng agree d to support the new Ministry, on condition that it should introduce a strong measure against the clubs. The great majority were opposed to any amnesty. We! regret to learn from these papers the sudderi demise of the Countess of BLE . SSINGTON on Monday night. Her Ladyship had been present at a large dinner that day, and returned to her residence in the evening in her usual state of healtli Shortly after h e r return she was seized with illness and died in the course of a few hours ; from apoplexy according to one account, from the cholera according to another. The cholera is at present making dreadful ravages in Paris. CARLOTTA GRISI was attacked by It on imminent danger. and was yesterday in a state of danger. M. LUCIEN MuaaT has likewise been attacked by it, and is not likely to recover. The Envoys sent by the revolutionary Govern ments'of Baden and of the Bavarian Palatinate have been refused an audience with the PRESIDENT of the Republic, or even with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The negotiations for peace with Denmark are con tinned at Berlin, and there is every prospect of their being b roug ht t o a spee dy and satisfactory ter mination. FRANKFURT• SIMSON, the late President of the German Par liament, has resigned his seat as a Member of that Assembly, AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. On the 31st M ay th e G overn or of Vienna, General BElim, issued a proclamation to t he effect that, whereas indic a ti ons o f t h e re volutionary spirit are again abroad vio lent language h e ld i n public places by per sons discussin g po li t i ca l subjects, it behoves 1 which manifested itsel f in the the well disposed and right-minded citizens to aid the authorities in apprehending such indivi duals, and putti ng a stop to the spirit of sedition. All tavernkeepers a n d co ff ee house proprietors who neglect this warning, and p e rsist in tacitly protecting , these dangerous characters, will be liable to be de prived of th e i r li cense. Hungarian s , a Pole s , and Italians are especially to i n th e advertisemen t. WELDEN, who has, it is said, lost his senses, has been recalled from Hungary, and will be succeeded by HAYN AU . The I mper i a li s t s have been driven from Bosch, whi c h i s now occu pi e d by the Hungarian troops. B EM is a t O rsova , having defeated PUCHNER'S corp d'armie, and it would appear all but annihilated it, for no intelligence has been received from them, and nothing is known as to PUCHNER'S whereabout. The following p roc l amat i on was published at Of en immediately aft er th e f a ll o f t h a t c ity : " The fo r t ress o f Buda is in our h an ds : it was taken this morning at seven o'clock, by the brave army of Georgey. Th e Austrians de f en d e d it va li an tly, b ut they were c ompe ll ed to give way before the courage of our warriors. . • " People of Hungary rejoice, but do not give your selves up too much to this feeling; on the contrary, be ready for new combats, for new victories, in order that the triumph of our liberty may be complete. Vivat our fatherland? (Signed) " DANIEL YARNZI." There is as much activity in the Hungarian Government as in its army. The Minister of the Interior SZENERI has taken measures for the re organization of those parts of the country which are not within the theatre of war. The Minister of Finance is engaged in contracting a loan, in case the country should be reduced to a want of money. In the sitting of the Diet, on the 12th inst., the Cham bers were occupied with the emancipation of the Jews, for which a project of law will be presented. A report is in circulation at Vienna that the Rus sians met with a terrible reception at Katschau, in retaliation for which they destroyed that city. The facts are given as follows : The Russians having entered and taken up their position in the square. a murderous fire was opened upon them from every window. Upon this thy immediately retired, Surround, d the city with cannon, set fire to it at the four corners, and cut down all who attempted to make their escap." The Austrian Correspondent inserts these reports without denying thew. The report also continues to gain ground that the Imperial troops have been defeated in the Mlrch. The principal body of the Hungarian army occu pied a series of strong positions from the frontier of Gallicia to the towns of the mountains, and from eusold to the island of Schutt, with a point d'appui at Comorn and another on the Waag. The Prague Zeitung says, that all the disposable provisions and forages in the fortress of Josephstadt, as well as of the military stores, have been sent to Pardweitz, from whence they had been sent to Hun gary. The military stores sent are so great, that all the luggage trains had latterly been employed solely for military transports. BAVARIA. A letter from Munich of the 30th ult. states that the Bavarian Government, in conjunction with Aus tria, has resolved to protest against the intervention of the King of PRUSSIA in the Bavarian Palatinate. The Chamber of Deputies assembled on that day, and the members of the Palatinate were allowed to take their seats without any further opposition. The German Gazette states that Bavaria has con cluded a treaty with Austria, by which the latter power binds itself to keep a body of troops at Bre genz, to support the Bavarian army against the Pala tinate and Baden. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The bombardment of Frederica by the Germans has been suspended since the 27th ult. A letter from Altona, of the Ist, announces that a division of the Russian fleet had arrived in the Great Belt, near Nyberg, from Cronstadt. This arrival has caus , .d great joy in Copenhagen. At Copenhagen several English vessels have been condemt,ed by the tribunals for having attempted to violate the blockade. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. The Presse of Vienna states, on authority of a let ter from Rymnik, that the Russian troops have re tired from the Principalities of tt e Danube, in con sequence of the protests of the French and English Governments. ITALY. Intelligence has been received from Rome of the 28th ult. At that date hostilities between the French and the Romans had not been resumed. A fresh note had been addressed by M. DE LEs- SEFS to M. MAzziNt of such a character as to leave no doubt whatever of the insanity of the unfortunate French Envoy. GARIBALDI . , after having entered the Neapolitan territory at Arce, where he was received with great joy, made a movement to the right for the purpose of of cting a junction with the troops which were marching against the Austrians. On the 28th a vehement fire was opened from the Venetian batteries and gun boats upon the Austrian works at Fort San Giuliano. RADETZKY intended commencing the bombard ment of Venice on the 29th. The Opinione of Turin, of the Ist, gives the fol lowing particulars concerning the abandonment of Malghera by the Venetians. The extreme unhealthi ness of the place induced them to that step, as fevers were increasing to an alarming degree. They, therefore, removed everything valuable in the shape of artillery and stores, .blew up the remaining eight arches of the bridge which formerly brought the railway to the centre of the city, and then fired three mines which completely destroyed the fort, so that the Austrians are now in possession of a useless heap of stones. A hundred gun-boats have been armed to prevent any works being com menced by the Austrians on the site of the late bridge. At the siege of Malghera, tha Austrins had 100 pieces of cannon besides the rockets. The Venetians had one battery of howitzers and 42 pieces of heavy artillery. The Austrian General WOLTER hr.“ been named commandant of the fort of Malghera. The Austrians have also occupied the fort of San Giuliano, but a mine that exploded killed an officer end 20 men. A battery of mortars has been estab lished on the remains of the bridge of the lagoons, from which the Austrians are bombarding the island of San Secondo. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 31st ult. states that Malghera was not taken by assault ; but that the Venetians, seeing the ruined state of the walls, had abandoned it, previously removing all the artillery and ammunition. The siege had lasted up wards of six weeks. Disturbances had taken place at Como and the vicinity, in consequence of the con scription. Similar disturbances having occurred at Cantu, that town was laid under a contribution of 20,000 florins, and declared in a state of siege. A rumour was current at Rome on the 26th, that the POPE intended to abdicate, and retire to the hermitage of Subiaco. By a decree of the 29th ult. the King of SARDINIA has instituted a Commission, to devise a plan for the reorganization of the army. SECONDARIES".—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary PorrEn.) SYERS V. COUSENS.-RIGIIT OF WAY. This was an action to recover damages for trespass in de priving the plaintiff of right of way over certain ground in Water-lane, Bridge-street, Blackfriars. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. WounswonTii, for the plaintiff; stated the ca-e, from which it appeared that plaintiff was lessee of premises to which the right of way attached, but the defendant who is a furniture-dealer, nf.twithstanding notice had been fre quently given to him, persisted in placing furniture on the ground to show for sale. The plaintiff, however, did not press for heavy damages, but merely for such as would cover his coats and establish his right. It appeared somewhat ex traordinary that although the defendant had determined to abide the result of an action, yet that he did not appear in any way to dispute the plaintiff's right. The Learned SECONDARY said it certainly appeared a strange case of obstinacy, or whatever else it might be termed; and the plaintiff was clearly entitled to a ver dict. There had bfen no special damage claimed, al though from the evidence there was no doubt plaintiff had been put to 4/. or 51. expense, and he might have let his premises had it not b. e❑ for defendant's conduct. The jury would, therefore, give general damages. The jury, alter a short consultation, gave a verdict for 5/. ~IAIILBRO'-STREET---(THIS DAY. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Mary White, an old woman of repulsive appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having attempted to murder Peter White, her husband, by cutting his throat with a knife, at No. 15, Hertford-street, Fitzroy-square. Webb, 77 E, stated that last night, about nine o'clock, his attention was called to No. 15, Hertford-street, in conse quence of hearing the cries of " Murder" and " Police" pro • ceeding from the parlour of the house. Witness having pro cure I the assistance of police-constable 85 E, endeavoured to effect an entrance by the parlour door, but conld not succeed in consequence of its being locked. 85 E then got over the railings and entered by the parlour window. He then opened the door and admitted witness. Having lighted a candle he saw the prisoner and her husband in the room by themselves. The man was bleeding profusely from a wound in his neck apparently inflicted by the some see i m n g a n witness,a ppear appeared i t d o s w h i a f r e p h ir a l s str c u u i t ne m n y t. t ' h r r h e e a m c a , n, A o s n be in a very exhausted state, he was taken to the Uni versity Hospital, and witness secured the prisoner. The prisoner then, without any solicitation on the part of witness made a statement, to the effect that her husband had beat her, and was about to cut her throat with a razor, when she wrenched it from him, and cut his throat with the same razor. She was in liquor at the time. Witness then searched the room, and on a shelf found a shoemakers' knife, the blade of which was stained with blood. He also found a a white-handled razor, which did not appear to havof throat.

Charlotte Shatter deposed that she was a single woman, and lodged in the second floor front room, at No. 15, Hert ford -street. She knew the prisoner and her husband, who occupied the front parlour. About nine o'clock last night she was alarmed at hearing the breaking of glass, and the screams of murder proceeding from the parlour. On going down stairs she heard Peter White call out, "for God's sake make haste down stairs, lam murdered. .Aly wife has cut my throat." She tried to open the door, but it was fastene f. She then ran to the door, and called the police. She had seen the prisoner and her husband in the fore part of the day, when they both appeared to be tipsy. The prisoner, who did not attempt to deny the charge, was remanded for a week. MR. CHARLES BaAHAM.—This young vocalist takes his first benefit this evening, at the Princess's Theatre, upon which occasion the once favourite opera of The Devil's Bridge will be revived, Mr. Braham sustaining the part i n which his father was once so famous.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY,) CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAYThe total arrival of English Wheat for our market this week has been only 650 quarters. To-day, the show of samples of that grain was small, yet the demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, at prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday. Only 1,970 quarters of fo reign Wheat have come fresh to hand, 3 et the supply on offer was again extensive. Selected qualities of both Red and White moved off steadily at full rates of cur • rency. In all other kinds scarcely any business was transacted. Nu English Barley at market; and the sup• ply of foreign was smaller than for some time past. The trade was in a sluggish state; but we have no actual fall to notice in value. In Malt so: little was .doing that the quotations ruled almost nominal.

Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the Board of Health in this city have nocifi: d that vessels having I, ft any port of Eugland, after the 16th of the present month, will not be subject to quarantine on arriving here. Ireland and Scotland are stil► reputed as suspected, and vessels from those parts will have to perform quarantine as hitherto. By a dispatch of same date as the preced ing, the quarantine is raised on ships from Rigs and all ports in the Baltic, as well as Altona and Hamhurgh. (Signed) THOMAS C. WlGuam, Agent to Lloyd's. Capt. G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's. Gibraltar, May 26, 1849. Sir,—With reference to my communication of sth inst., about the reduction of quarantine on vessels from Eng land to three days, 1 have now the honour to acquaint you that the steam-packet Iberia, which arrived last night, has been admitted to free pratique, and 1 am in formed that all merchant vessels from Great Britain, bringing clean bills of health, will not be subject to any quarantine whatever. (Signed) J. LONGLANDS COWELL, Agent to Lloyd'•. Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's. We are requested to state that Lord Nugent has been suffering for the last few days from illness in the coun try, and was consequently prevented from voting on the Par liamentary Oaths Bill, and is also obliged therefrom to defer his motion relative to the maintenance of the destitute poor of England and Wales till Thursday, the 21st of June. We are sorry to hear that Mr. Cayley has for the last fortnight been suffering from the effects of ulcerated sore throat, accompanied with fever, and that he is advised to seek retirement in the country from his Parliamentary duties for the present. TOE ROYAL ETCHINGS.—We are informed that Mr. Judge, acting upon the advice of his friends, contem plates appealing to the Lord Chancellor against the judg ment of Viee-Chancellor Knight Bruce on Saturday last. The preliminary proceeding was taken by Mr. Judge, on Saturday, immediately after judgment had been given, by his entering a caveat against enrolling the decree (in each suit), made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. It appears that, according to the practice of the Court of Chancery, this prompt mode of proceeding was necessary to be adopted; for after a decree has been once enrolled, a suitor, whether plaintiff or defendant, is deprived of the privilege of appeal ing to a higher jurisdiction. Mr. Judge, by pursuing this course, stays his proceedings for 28 days ; his object being to obtain an order for an issue to be tried at common law, so that a jury may decide in whom the property in the "Royal Etchings' is vested. BIRTHDAY OF THE KING OF HANOVER.—WlND son.—Yesterday being the 79th anniversary of the birthday of the King of Hanover the bells of St. George's Chapel and the Church of St. John rang merry peals at intervals through out the day. Royal salutes were fired from the corporation ordnance at noon, and from the battery at Belvidere, near Virginia Water. THE WEATHER AND THE Cuors.—After three or four very sultry days, the weather in Yorkshire underwent a very satisfactory4hange on Monday night. Shortly after dusk repeated peals of thunder, accompanied with lightning, passed over. Leeds, and various other parts of the West Riding, which was followed by heavy rain, that continued at intervals nearly the whole of yesterday. The rain has fallen very opportunely for the grain, potato, and turnip crops, and will prove highly serviceable to most other descriptions of produce. The prospects of a good harvest begin to look very encouraging. THE ORCHARDS.—The Hereford Journal says— " We do not remember a "season when the apple blossom was more abundant ; indeed, the orchards and gardens pre sent remarkable luxuriance in this respect, but we cannot give so very favourable an account of the pear trees. Wall fruit, too, has suffered severely from the ungenial season. What is of most importance, the rains have advanced both the grain and green crops, and potatoes are coming on very kindly. Appearances here are as favourable as we ever re collect, and this is the more gratifying, as the cold and the excessive damp in the substratum of the ground had caused an apprehension in the minds of some country people that the plant would not make its appearance at all. From the Taunton and Devonshire papers we_ gather that the above description applies pretty accurately to those districts." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Thi! Blenheim, 60, steam ;zuarci-sh?p, Acting-Cm:Lin J. A. Stevens, went cut to Stokes Bay to-day, to try her speed aril mAchinery.

After this his Lordship visited the men's quarters and inspected their bedding; afterwardsi'remounted on the parade, and the men being drawn up in close column, asked if any man had any complaint to make. The noble General then inspected the barracks generally, which core'uded the movements for to-day. His Lord ship and the Deputy Adjutant-General then partook of a sumptuous deje finer in the temporary mess-room of the division. The inspection will be proceeded with to morrow: PLYMOUTH, JUNE 4.—About nine o'clock yesterday morning three ships of war were observed in the offing to the eastward. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain H. L. Massie, shortly afterwards saluted the flag of Port- Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, entered the Sound by the Eastern Channel, with a light southerly wind, and moored inside the Breakwater, near the Camber. The Reynard, screw•schooner, 11, Commander Calcraft, sig nalled Mount Wise for orders, and, on receipt, followed the Cleopatra, saluted inside, swept through the Sound by the aid of her screw, and went up Hamoaze.

STANFIELD•HALL.—The sale at Stanfield-hall is attracting great notice, and is likely to be well attended.

The furniture, &c., remains in p re tty much the same state as it was in at the time of the mur ders; even the mat on which Ai r. Jermy Jermy fell and breathed his last has not been removed; nor are the stains of blood yet effaced from the cocoa-nut carpet on which the elder Mr. Jermy expired. The great object of attraction was the drawing-mom—the furniture in which is very splendid, in the Louis Qtatorze style, and at the same time being in most excellent taste. The other apartments are well furnished, some of the b& d rooms luxuriously; and the mansion throughout is fitted up with every comfort and convenience for the English gentleman. There are two portraits of the late Mr. Jermy in the house, and a few good pictures worthy the attention of the connoisseur.

Rush left behind him a document which ho intended at one time to have submitted to his lawyer, as the ground work of his defence. He did not do so, however, but he did not destroy the paper, in which occurs the following passage As soon as Miss Sandford was in her room I went down in my slip-shoes, and took my outside dress and my boots I had been in the habit of wearing when I went out in the night after poachers, as I did not wish to be recognised, and hid them in t" muck in the shed, in the yard, by the dairy window: It is not material that those things should be discovered till after the evidence is given against we , because that outside dress will completely clear me as not being the person seen in the hall the night of th e murder, and yet it is almost as imp o rt an t th e p a rties have described should be made out, which I have ne doubt can he done."
