OFFICES IN PARIS.-21, Rue Neuve des Capncines. Omens IN lA,DON.-11, King William-street, City. In accordance with the resolutions passed at a Genera' Meeting ef Shareholders, held at the Offices in Paris on Sa turday, the 15th March, 1856, the objects of this Company, Which was originally formed for the commercial purposes of c ommunication between France and Ports in the Indian Seas, With clipper-built Sailing Ships, have been considerably ex tended and the system of operations materially improved ; it haivng been determined to unite the maritime enterprise of the two greatest mercantile communities in Europe—England and trance—and to substitute screw steam clippers, of first rate sailing capacity, with auxiliary propelling power. The undertaking combines all the elements of success that can be contributed by each country. The newly-developed c ommercial requirements of France afford high profitable em ployment, and the cheap and long-established constructive skill of England provides the best immediate means ; whilst the capital, mercantile connections. and nautical genius of both countries are united in a common object of the most i mportant and remunerate character. Under such encou raging circumstances the Company have arranged to com mence operations at once by a line of Screw Clippers, of about 2,400 tons average register tonnage, to sail regu larly from Havre to Calcutta, touching at the Ile de la Iteunion (Bourbon), and such other intermediate Indian Ports as may be selected. It is also proposed to open a c ommunication; upon an early day with the Brazils, and via the Brazils, with the Cape of Good Hope. The ships will call at the port of Southampton, outward and homeward, to re eeive or land goods, specie, and passengers. To open these lines without delay, a fine fleet of clipper screw steamers, of established reputation, has been purchased from the General Screw Steam-Shipping Company, viz.:— Jason. I Argo. Olden Fleece. I Queen of the South. Indiana. Lady Jocelyn. Calcutta. I Hydaspes. By this important purchase the Company will be protected from the loss which would necessarily follow from their capi tal lying unproductive while a new fleet was being built and equipped, arid be at once prepared to open their trades with the most faithfully-constructed steam clippers in existence— Possessing the prestige of their previous employment, and the very high character they have since sustained in the tran sport of the British and French Governments. A portion of the capital will be open for subscription in England and the Colonies. Each application for shares must be made in the appended f orm, accompanied by a payment of 25f. or I/. per share on the number required, for which a voucher will be given. In the event of less than the whole number of shares ap lied for being allotted, the number paid in excess will be applied to- Wards the balance of 75f. or 31. per share, then payable. Should no allotment be made to the applicant, the money thus lodged will be returned, free of charge, within a week from the day of general allotment. Calculations carefully made by those most experienced in the i traffic of France, and the exports from Belgium, Switzer land. and Germany, via Havre, with the ascertained want of Steam communication between the ports selected by this Com- PacY, warrant the Directors in stating their conviction that no maritime enterprise ever commenced under more favourable auspices, or with fairer prospects of yielding large returns to the p r oprietary. When the capital is fully subscribed, an application will be Made for p erm i ss i on t o conver t thi s company, which i s a t pre lent established under the French commercial law as a Societe en Commandite, into a Societe Anonym; and the gentlemen CO mposing the 6ommittee or Supervision in England will be. come members of the Council in Paris. , A pplications for shares accompanied by the 25f. or 1/ . d epos it Lo be made to Messrs Carrie and Co. 29, Cornhill ;t o M essrs . t t _uggins and Rowsell, stockbrokers, 1, Threadneedle-street ; to Messrs, Cunard, B re tt, a nd Austen, a gen t s an d s hi p b rokers, 150, Leadenhall-street, London ; 5, York-buildings, Liver pool ; and Cauut e -r oa d, S ou th am pt on ; and. at the Offices of II:10 Company in London and Paris. .

THE ROYAL AMNESTY. There is no gainsaying the bitter truths contain( d in the following reflections of a Belfast Liberal journal. They have been elicited by the agreeable announcement that her Majesty has been pleased to grant an unconditional pardon to Mr.' Smith O'Brien and other political offenders : • " We have, all over the country (says the Northern TVh,;g) thousands of young men, with a smattering of education, labouring under the delusion that they are . the victims of the foulest oppression, and longing for some social gathering in which they can give utterance to their groans and aspirations over a tumbler of whisky punch. To read the effusions which enliven the dessert of any national Irish dinner, or other demonstration, in this country or America, one would imagine that they were uttered by men who spent their days in weeping over Erin's wrongs on the banks of streams, and their nights in planning the assassination en masse of the Bri tish Ministry, and thesack of at least of the three capitals of the united kingdom. After readiag the awful pictures drawn of the atrocious tyranny of the Central Govern ment, one is surprised to see shops open in C, rk or Gal way, and scandalised to see a grin on a single Irish face. After reading the glowing aciounts,given of ancient Ire land, of ti e beauty of the women and the valour of the men, of the humorous and musical talents of the har pers, and the legislative ability and 1 as , ,on for field sport of the chieftains, and of the custom which prevailed of 6 sitting n ider the shadow of the old mountEins P ' and being afraid of nob o d y , one i s i ncl i ned to feel ashamed of one's: own age and generation ; and we doubt not that many sober, sensible, earnest people, with the fire of action glowing , in them under the smoke of words, ars of . .en 'deluded into the belief that the uttireri of alrthis rubbish are true men, who feel what they say and would do what•they threaten. It was this delusion which hut.- Heil many able, clever men, capable of better 'things, and worthy of a noble career, ti put themselves at the head of knaves and enthusiasts who filled the clubs of 1843. To it Messrs. Deify and O'Brien owe to-day the u 'pleasant reflection that they have wasted the more valuable portion of their lives in the pur,uit of phan toms ; that they have lavished energies which might have accomplished great results and left behind enno bling memories upon a cause of which one now feels heartily ashamed whose tongue has not been loosened or his vision clouded by tke national kiverage. Their his tory is a sad illustration of the mischief which a single error of judgment on the part of the ablest or most ener getic among us may work, not for themselves only, but for all those whom their honesty or earnestness had im pressed." [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD• I privilege of being goVerned by her own citizens, without the intervention of those foreign spoilers who have over treated her as their prey, but never as their kingdom or their country. What aggra vates the misery of such a situation, and makes it even more intolerable, is the extreme intellectual cultivation and the high pitch of refinement at-. tained by the victims' of this cruel Oppression. The modern Italian is not the degenerate inhabitant of Greece, bowed down by centuries of oppression till his only idea of liberty seems to have become the exchanging one master for another. Nor 'yet is he absorbed in the pursuits of gain and engaged in the vain attempt to secure property.' Without liberty, like the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wal lachia, he possesses an intellectual cultivation second to that of no people in the world, and history is ever present to his mind, rich in. The most ani mated reminiscences of past glory and the most exciting stimulantsfor future exertion. The Italians carried municipal government to a point of excel lence never attained since the day's of ancient Greece, and we need only cite the example of Pied mont itself to show how easily they can adapt themselves to a form of governnient of exotic growth, and found peculiarly difficult to work out by those countries into which it has been trans planted. Why, then, we ask, as has, been hundreds of times asked before—why, since Europe admits "that the internal welfare of one St a t e is no m a tt er o f indifference to its neighbours, and recognises the doctrine that it cannot afford to view with indif ference tho. , 3e internal convulsions which tend to sow disunion between people and Government—why should Italy alone be deprived of the salutary do> trine contained in this principle, and be condemned to try its application only in its sternest and most re nil , ive form ? We have had interventions every where—interventions in Holstein, in Hesse Cassel, in Baden, in Spain, in Rome, in Hungary —every where tending, under the pretence of a restoration of order, to ulcerate the wounds of faction, and prepare the way for events still more dangerous and catastrophes still more fatal. If Italy could have been saved by intervention she would not be in her miserable and prostrate state—alive, but without the power of motion ; a corpse in all but the most exquisite sensibility to agony, the keenest appreciation of torture. We have had Austrian intervention in Naples, Austrian intervention in the Legations, Austrian intervention in Tuscany, Austrian intervention in Parma, Austrian govern ment in Lombardy and Venice ; and what have all these interventions brought The King of Naples feels the.misery he inflicts, and is not secure either of his throne or of his life from hour to hour. The Pope has been a fugitive, and but for the presence of a French garrison—for the certainty that that garrison would be supported by the full force of the Empire—would be a fugitive again. The Duke Parma has perished by ass issination. His wife has fled from his dominions, and Austria is enter ing on a course of tyranny and proscription which will probably render her return impossible. The Grand Duke of Tuscany from being the idol has become the aversion of his people ; and Austria, from intervening in everybody's concerns, is op pressed by a load of debt that seems to threaten immediate bankruptcy. Such are the fruits of intervention. Now suppose for a moment that the great Powers of Europe were not too great to learn, like ordi nary mortals, by experience, what would these things teach them ? Probably this—that, as meddling in their neighbours' affairs is good for nobody, so letting their affairs alone might very likely turn out to be the best thing for everybody. If Austria has ruined herself by interfering, the readiest way to reduce her establishments and recruit her finances is to give up interference for the future. If the people of Italy have been driven to revolu tionary fury and the monarchs of Italy to intoler able tyranny by the presence of foreign troops, the readiest remedy will be their withdrawal, which will relieve the Governments from overweening confidence, and the people from a despair certain to explode in deeds of violence and blood.- It is said by. Count Cavour that England and France are not agreed as to the precautions with which this inauguration of the era of non-intervention should be attended. From this we seem justified in inferring that the Western Powers are agreed on the principle itself, and, if this be so, differ ences of detail ought not to retard, and will not retard, its application. The matter presses for decision, for the relations of Piedmont and Aus tria have assumed a form in which they cannot long remain, and by identifying herself with the Italian question Sardinia has staked her very ex istence on its speedy and satisfactory solution. (Froth the Morning Post of this day.) THE TIPPERARY BANK VICTIMS. In the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday the case of " Cunneen v. Bayley" was tried before the Chief Justice and a common jury. The plaintiff is a shopkeeper at Nenagh, county of Tipperary ; the defendant is a captain in the Lancashire Militia. On Saturday, the 12th Feb., 1856, the steward of the regiment gave the plaintiff a cheque for 301. ss. 10c1. on the Tipperary Bank, the amount being due to the plaintiff for goods sold and delivered to the military gentleman. On the Monday follow ing the plaintiff presented the cheque for payment, but was told by Mr. Murray, the cashier of the bank, that there were no funds to meet it. The cheque was again presented on Tuesday, but the same reply was returned. The defendant denying further liability, the plaintiff brought his action. The plaintiff was examined. He deposed to having asked payment for the check on Monday, the 18th December, and to the refusal to pay. Counsel for the plaintiff said that there could be no defence to the action, as it had been proved that the check was presented on the bank the day following its issue. Counsel for the defendant was about to ad dress the jury for the defendant, when a juror said he might spare himself the trouble, as they had. made up their minds on the case. Counsel said the defence was that payment of the check.was not de manded on Monday. ' The Chief-Justice intimated that he agreed with the jury in the view they took of the case. (Laughter.) Counsel for the defendant said that, as the jury had made up their minds, he would not offer any defence. Tne jury then re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for 301. ss. 10d. CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. Tile 56th half-yearly report of this company shows that the balance to the credit of profit and loss for the last half-year amounts to 17,2111. 14s 5d ; out of this the directors recommend a dividend of 24 per cent, free of income tax for the half-year, after deducting 1 per cent. on the paid-up capital of the company, as required by the act of Parlia ment. With respect to the improved postal com munication between England and Ireland the re pori, says— We have bad news for the quarter of a million of decent people who, last Sunday, enjoyed their pleasant and wholesome evening in the Parks. The playing of the military bands on Sunday is to be discontinued henceforth, and a vast proportion of the population of London is to be deprived of the very innocent recreation which they so thoroughly appreciated. A few airs played on a Sunday after noon amongst the budding trees of Kensington gardens, or on the green sward of Regent's-park, have been the signal for powerful remonstrances, which have been addressed to the Premier from many quarbrs, and put in a manner so pressing, that he has felt it necessary to comply with them, although in contradiction of his own views and opinions. The fact is, the public opinion of the country at large appears to disapprove of any en croacb meat, however slight, which may be con strued into an infraction of the sacredness of Sun day, and there is little doubt that the majority of influential electors of most of our towns and boroughs are able to bring to bear sufficient in fluence upon their repres ntatives to dispose them to put a stop in London to that which, noised abroad, gives offence in the country. Thus, pub lic opinion, as expressd in the Archbishop of Can terbury's letter, rules the disposal:of the Londoner's Sunday afternoon; and that he may not give offence to his country cousins, who approve of no music but the church bells on a Sunday, the Premier is con strained to put an end to the Cockney's otherwise in offensive pleasure. In vain it is urged that the bands draw penple from close streets, public-houses, and gin palaces to the open air—that the music is not per formed during the hours of Divine Service—and that the attraction, such as it is, intends to induce rest and health. In vain are urged all these argu ments in favour of the boon lately granted to the people, which appeared to us to go far in solving an exceedingly difficult question. We confess our strong impression that, in this age, when so much is done—and properly done—to alleviate the incessant toil of the working classes, by providing them with healthful recreation, no less objectionable plan could have been devised than that which the Government had determined to adopt. _ _ "The directors cannot at present report much progress towards the completion of arrangements for the improve ment in the postal and passenger communication with London, as contemplated by the act of Parliament passed last year. A proposal to perform the service between London and Dublin within 12 hours instead of 14 or 15, as at present, was made to the Admiralty in accordance with their views, but was declined, not being acceptable to the Post-office authorities. It has, however, been intimated that a service will be defined to meet the re quirements of that department, whiehi it is hoped, may also adequately provide for the convenience of passen ger:l. When the expected communication shall have been received the directors will be prepared, in conjunc tion with the London and North-Western and Cheater and Holyhead Railway Companies; to take their share in any improved service which may be deemed practic able, having due regard to the interests of the proprie tors." The Premier, however, is bound to respect the influences which have been brought to bear upon him, but we think, even now, that the question is not decided by his present concession, for it re mains to be seen how far the two hundred and fifty-eight thousand persons who last Sunday were in the Parks may endeavour to have their own way. Londoners may not unlikely urge their wish themselves to determine what shall be done in London. However this may be, we earnestly coun sel moderation on both sides. If this be exercised, a fair settlement of the difference may be obtained. If not, a dispute, of which the dangerous character may easily be aggravated, may be brought about, and threaten the public tranquillity with conflicts which may lead to the most deplorable results.

THE REGENT AND HIS MINISTERS.—Another curious proof of the light in which Perceval is held by the Prince, occurs in the conversation which passed respecting (th e Bishopric of) Oxford. When the latter mentioned his in- tention of giving it to William Jackson, M r . P erc i val i mme di a t e ly said, "On that point, sir, I am positi ve l y pledged." "Positively pledged, Mr. Porceval," said the Prince, "positively pledged to give away one of my bishoprics ! I don't understand you." On which the' other replied, "I mean, that it was the King's positive and declared intention to give it to Dean Legge." "Mr. Perceval," said the Prince, "if I had nny direct inti ma . tion of what was really the King's wishes on the sub ject, I would not only make Dean Legge Bishop of Oxford, but Archbishop of Canterbury, if it were in my power ; but as this is not the case, I shall make my own Bishop. • And further, I desire '.ever more to hear wh a t were the King's wis hes upon such subjects through third person."—The Duke of Buckingham's " Court of the Regency."

The proceedings in the Senate have been devoid of general interest. • ' In the House of Representatives Mr. Quitman, of Mississippi, had advocated therepeal of the Neu trality LaWs, which he considdred a violation of the constitution , and a stigmaoto.merican intel ligence. He Raid—" Mexico is in a t state of disso- lu - tion, divided into faCtions, and lingering a miser able existence by selling her territory to this coun try. - In Central America there have been a series of revolutions for years. Cuba, the last remnant of the gigantic despotism of Spain, is necessary for the .protection of our commerce, and for the-nationarre pose and security. The law of nations depends upon circumstances. Its foundation is reason, right, and justice. We have net our ow n connecting link between t beAtlan tic and Pacifld states, and that man is guilty of moral treason who halts about the means of seizing the isthmus. It must be taken, even at the expense of a War. It is manifest destiny, as well as a na tional necessity." In the course of his remarks he said England had the address to induce our Go vernment to reject a favourable treaty with Domi nica, and had besides exerted an influence over Spain to our detriment. "Duty to our countryde mands that we guard against the repetition of such flagrant offences." The discussion was adjourned. A despatch had been received at Washington, stating that disturbances had again broken out in Kansas. No .Particulars . were given, except that some of the authorities bad been shot. The friends of the rival candidates for the Presi dency were redoubling their efforts. The reception at Philadelphia of Mr. Buchanan was looked upon as ominous. The Hard Shell campaign for Cincin nati was fully organised on the 25th ult. _ _ Messrs. Himniocks, Hicks, and Kingsley, who had been on trial, charged with setting on foot at New York a hostile expedition to co-operate with G-en. Walker in Nicar-gua, had been discharged by the United States Commissioner, as he did not consider the testimony sufficient to warrant their detention: The advices from Central America report another engagement between Walker and his Filibusters and the Costa-Ricans. On the 7th Walker attacked Rivas defended by 2,000 men (?) with. 600 of his Filibusters, and after a fight of 18 hours' duration was compelled, " for want of ammunition," to withdraw, leaving 600 of the enemy dead and a large number wounded. Walker's loss is estimated at less than 100 wounded. This account being ex parte must be taken at its proper value. A cor respondence between the British and Costa Rican Government is said to have been intercepted, con taining a tender of 2,000 stand of arms and other aid from the former. The New York Herald pub lishes three letters, with remarks. It says-- "The first letter is. from the Foreign-office of the for mer Government. to E. Wallerstein, the Consul-General of Costa Rica ; and the other letters are addressed, one• officially, to the Minister of Foreign. Relations of Costa RiCa, and the other, as a private letter, to the President of the Republic : " 'IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE. (Copied from the original.) " Foreign-office, Feb. 9, 1856. " rI am directed by the'Earl of Clarendon to acquaint you that having referred to the War Department your letter of the 12th ult., requesting that a small' supply of arms may be furnished to the Government of Costa Rica, his Lordship has been informed by that department, in reply, that 2,000 smooth bore muskets (nittons), which are not so highly finished as the line pattern muskets of 1842, can be supplied for this service at 11. 3.i. each, or if it should be preferred, 2,000 of tine pattern mus kets of 1852 can be furnished at 565. Sd. each. "As soon as Lord Clarendon is informed by you of the species of arms which you decide upon, he will commu nicate farther with the War Department, and requeot that the arms may be placed at your disposal.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your must obedient and humble servant, ' 6 'E. HAMMOND. "'To E. Wallerstein, Esq., &a.' " (Translated front the original.) " 'No. 10. " London, Fab. 10, 1856. " Sir,—ln reference to my note of the 16th of last month, marked Ne. 4, which I communicated to your Excellency, that In the interview with Lord Clarendon I had beeepd of him to favour our Government with a loan of 2,000 muskets, I now take great pleasure to in form your Excellency that, on the 10th in‘t., I was ad vised by the Secretary of Foreign Relations that Lord Clarendon bad consulted with the Minister of War in regard to my request, and I received the information that 2,000 muskets could he obtained at the price of 235., or 2 000 at 565. 81. for that service ; that as soon as I informed his Lordship which of the two kinds would suit me, ha would give orders that the 2,000 might he placed at my disposal for the use of the Re public of Costa IVca. I have not yet replied to that Communication, but I have w r itt en a pr i vate letter to said secretary, entreating him to send me an order to examine the two kinds of arms. After seeing them, I will still consider if it is convenient to take them with out positive instructions from his Excellency the Presi sident ; but in the meantime, I am persuaded his Excel lency will see the promptness with which the Govern ment of her Britannic Majesty has complied with my request is a very strong demonstration of her sympathy and goodwill towards that republic. Nothing is said, it is true, in the Minister's letter about the time the money should be paid ; it shows that this is left for the republic to determine. " I enclose herein a copy of the letter mentioned, and I take this opportunity to repeat myself your Excellency's most obedient servant, " E. WALLERSTEIN. " To his Excellency Senor Dan E-nmardo Castro, Minister of Relations of the Republic of Costa Rica, San Jos6.' " (Translated from the original.) " London, Feb. 16, 1856. " Senor Don Juan Rafael Mora, San Jose de Costa Rica. " Much esteemed Sir and Friend,—The mail which brings the correspondence of January lst from Costa Rica bas not arrived, and in consequence I have nothing to say to you in regard to mercantile business. As to public matters, you will please to refer to my communi cations of to-day to the Minister. By this you will see that this Government is willing to put 2,000 muskets at my disposal for the service of the republic of Costa Rica. No thing is said in the note about the time of payment. How ever, I have not made up my mind to take them previous to receiving instructions from you, or which of the two kinds of arms to take. In case I should take them previous to your being able to write upon the subject I will send them in the month of March, if a vessel sails for Punta At enas, without further orders from you. I have not yet replied officially to Lord Clarendon to offer my sincere thanks in my own name and that of the Republic for his manifesta tion of sympathy and friendship for Costa Rica ; and, though the whole affable manner in which Lord Claren don spoke to me when I bade him farewell, almost in duced me to believe that he would not refuse the mus kets, I will not deny the pleasure I felt on the receipt of Mr. Hammond's letter. I could not sleep all that night for joy. I sent him a note on the following day, stat ing I would address an official note to Lord Clarendon, conveying my thanks, and that in the meantime I en treated him to send me permission fro'rn the War De partment to examine the two kinds of muskets, so as to ascertain which I should take for the Republic. All this is very good, but I don't like the intelligence from Ni caragua, where it seems Walker is establishing himself firmer and firmer every day. I cannot understand how the other States did not unite themselves from the begin ' ning to expel him from Nicaragua. I have letters from Guatemala and San Salvador, requiring me to request from this Government help and succour ; but what can be done for republics or people who do not make an exertio❑ to help themselves ? When I was telling Lord Clarendon that Costa Rica already had an army of 800 men on the frontier of Nicaragua he was much pleased, and said, That was a right step,' and lam persuaded that my having made that insinuation is one of the rea sons for giving us the muskets. The questions pending between this country and the United States are very complicated, but there will be no war, for this reason, that the gentlemen in the great republic observe that, although the British nation do not beast or say much-on the subject, they are determined to punish the Yankees very seriously for the least insult to the national honour. To the eyes of the whole world— of this country in par ticular—a war between the two nations would be the worst of evils; but to Central America the case would be very different, as Walker and his associates wouki be kicked out of Nicaragua. " I send to the Government a copy of the Times, in which is found a letter from Mr. Marcy to the American Minister to Nicaragua. Though this letter appears to censure the Minister and holds out a threat to Walker, the true sense is that in a short time the Government of the United States will recognise Walker's Government. May God help us ! —Yours, &c , _ ' E. WALLERSTEIN: "Two other letters accompanied the correspondence, ono of which was from Mr. Moliny, the Costa Rican Minister at Wa.shing,ten, inforning his Government of recent letters received from the Governinvnts of Great Britain and France, in which great sympathy is felt for the Central American States in general. The other in forms the Government of Coita Rica - that an English fleet will be immediately sent to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica." The Costa Ricans are accused of having butchered a number of wounded Filibusters who had been placed in a church by Walker previously to his re pulse. The journals favourable to Walker give long and detailed accounts of the individual bravery of his followers. Of one of the staff who was killed one account says, "He was was a man of fine at tainments, of noble and generous impulses, and ex emplary heroism. With his spirit escaped the pulsation of a true and valiant heart." Her`Majesty's ship Eurydice' was at San Juan on the ilst ult. ; her boats were constantly on duty watching the movements of the Ainerican Filibus ters. Letters from Bermuda state that the barracks, ctc.,-at Fort Charlotte had been degtroyed by fire. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 19th April and Vera Cruz to the 22d. had been received at New Orleans. The country was quiet, and the communication between different parts was unin terrupted. Tamariz had escaped ;he reached Vera Cruz in the disguise of a drayman, and embarked on the British war ship Penelope. The church property had been seized by the military, though the bishop had r. , fused to deliver it up. It was re ported that Comonfort had been °Tired $600,000 to revoke the decree of con&seation. From Mexico we 'learn that changes in the cabi net of Comonfort were in contemplation; and that Payno, the Minister of Finance, would probably be sent to England. Hia post will be filled by Leado de Tejada. Lafrigna will go to Spain, and Doblado accept the War Department. Owing to the resigna tion of Rosas, Lacunza will resume the manage ment of the Department of Foreign R, , lations. The Aspinwall Courier of the lith April de scribes a terrible massacre by the natives of the Isthmus on the night of the 15th at Panama, whereby some 20 passengers on their way to Cali fornia were kill e d, and between 3 , 1 and 40 were badly wounded. The difficulty originated in a dispute about one dime between an intoxicated passenger and a native respecting payment for a piece of water melon. It appears that the native, being much exasperated by the conduct of the pas senger, drew a knife, on seeing which the passen ger fired and wounded him. The natives then mustered in strong force and commenced a terrible assault upon the passengers, among whom were several women and children. When the survivors were attempting to escape on board a steamer in the harbour the natives formed a guard on the beach, and stripped men, women, and children.

I NEW YORK, April 30.—There was more activity ap parent, and a gradual advance of prices in the stock market was taking place. Without any very specula• tive movement, there was evidently more disposition to buy on the part of regular investors. In the money market there was no alteration of iinportance, call loans being still readily obtainable at 7 per cent. The ex change market has been very firm—some bankers raised their prices to 10 per cent. for sterling ; the business in general was very moderate. Bills on London were quoted 93 to 94 per cent. prem. ; Paris, &c., f.5.17:1 to f.6.16i 60 days, and f. 5 124 short sight. Cotton continues firm, but prices are without quot able change, and the demand is fair. The Per,ia's newe, to yesterday morning, had no perceptible eff , ..ct oi the market, the advance on the other side having been an ticipated here, though transitu lots are generally held a higher. The sales are estimated at 7,000 bales f,r the three days, including low to good 0 leans middling, in transitu to Liverpool, at 10c to 10Ic., with Ad. freight, and parcels from Mobile at about Ac. off these prices. Flour has been only in very moderate demand during the past week, and with little doing for export, prices have been very irregular, the market closing at a decline of 50c. to 75c. per brl. In wheat there is but little cf good sound quality offering, and this brings compara tively high prices for local milling. Yellow and mixed Indian corn have declined 3c. per 501b5., while prime white sells at previous prices. Fawn-rm.—Freights are without alteration. To Liver pool—For cotton, id per lb.; flour, is 3d to is ad per brl ; grain, 40 to 40 per bl. To London—Flour, 2s per brl. To Havre—Uotton, ic. per lb.; flour, 65c. per brl.

( From the Times of this day. ) Our readers are now in possession of the Note addressed by the Plenipotentiaries of Sardinia to the Paris Conference. Its contents have been al ready in a great measure anticipated by the con versations reported in the 22d protocol, but still it is impossible to peruse such a document without feelings of the liveliest interest and sympathy. The Plenipotentiaries begin by stating that they were disappointed in the hope that the Congress would not separate without taking into consideration some plan for restoring the equilibrium of Italy, now disturbed by foreign intervention, although they admit at the same time that, owing to the peculiar position of Austria, such consideration turned out to be impossible. They therefore introduce the subject on their own account. The evils of Italy they attribute to foreign intervention, and the sys tem of repression, which was justifiable perhaps in 184 S, has been persevered in for eight years, with unremitting or even increasing rigour. They state that this condition of affairs is fraught with a double danger for Piedmont—first, the awaken ing of revolutionary passions, from which the tem perate and balanced liberty of a limited monarchy has almost as much to dread as absolutism itself ; and, secondly, from the measures which Austria takes with the view or under the pretence of counteracting revolutionary movements, the re sult of which is that she envelopes with a large force the eastern frontier of Piedmont, occupies Parma, fortifies Piacenza, and thus obliges her weaker neighbour to maintain an amount of force which drains her population, and is extremely in jurious to her straitened finances. Sardinia, they remark with much truth, is the only State in Italy which has been able at the same time to erect a bar rier against the revolutionary spirit and to keep free from the insidious and still more perilous protec tion of Austria. Sardinia has combated anarchy not with despotism, but with moderate and reasonable freedom, and for this reason anarchy and despotism are equally in league against her. Whatever, therefore, promotes the cause of Mazzini or Itadetz ky—whatever stirs up the passions of the populace or stimulates the cruelty and ambition of priests or soldiers, the twin-born pests of Italy—is equally dangerous for Piedmont, which, being built upon popular and monarchical principles, has everything to fear, whether from the sword of the despot or the torch of the incendiary. This, then, is the condition of Piedmont, and this is the right on which she claims to bring be fore assembled Europe the Italian question. She is possessed of an excellent constitution, a patriotic King, and a people well fitted for the enjoyment and preservation of freedom. But these blessings she is not permitted to enjoy —nay, she is threat ened every moment with their loss or curtailment, because it is the pleasure of certain conservative Powers, on the one hand, to stimulate the passions which fills her towns with political exiles and tend to confuse her Government with that of her arbi trary neighbours, while on the other hand, these same Powers are constantly acting with revolu tionary violence, and committing, in the name of order, worse excesses than anarchy itself could de vise or execute. The ground taken by Piedmont is the very one so often used to justify armed in tervention—the dread of the mischief which the disturbances of one State may bring to the welfare of another, only here the argument is used to pre vent, instead of to further, foreign interference. There is, indeed, only one remedy for the affairs of Italy. That is, to suffer her to become once more what she has never been since that unhappy day when the miserable ambition of Charles VIII. re peated with fatal success the policy of the Hohen stauffen, and again sent across the Alps those legions of foreigners who swept away that peculiar civili sation which shed so much splendour over the history of the middle ages, and has left behind it the noblest monuments of art and g en i us that the human mind has produced since the days p v y time dastate of ancient Greece. From that unl e la d i e ) Frenchman, German, hay and Spaniard with rival fury that fair laud, which then lost what she has never since recovered—the inestimable THE IRISH POOR-LAW COMMISSION. A compensation allowance has been granted to Mr. W. Stanley, the late popular secretary to the Irish Poor-Law Commission, the office having been recently abolished by act of Parliament. Mr. Stanley has been in the public service, in one ca pacitror another, for upwards of 40 years, and, according to the scale of compensation ; he is to re ceive a pension of 8331. Gs. Bd. per annum ; but, as this allowance is to be merged in the salary of a vacant office in the Inland Revenue Department, to which he has been nominated, the retired allow ance granted to him will be saved to the country. ANOTHER DARING HOTEL ROBBERY. On Wednesday night or Thursday morning last two robberie, and a series of most audacious though some what ingenious attempts at robbery, were committed (says the Newcastle Guardian) in connexion with the rooms of commercial gentlemen at the Turk's Head Hotel in this town, by a stranger, a " swell mobsman," but who, through his gentlemanly appearance and ad dress, had been admitted to the est a bli s h men t to l o d ge on Wednesday evening. The circumstances connected with the robbery are reported as follows : In the early part of Wednesday evening the person in question drove up to the hotel in a cab, but without any luggage with him, and, on going into the coffee-room, ordered a glass of brandy, and next asked the waiter in a familiar manner, as if he had known the house well, if there were any letters for him. The waiter, not knowing the gentleman, inquired his name, when he gave one, but it was of so uncommon a nature, and so difficult of pronunciation as to prevent the waiter remembering it. The waiter, - however, in formed him that there were no letters. Afterwards the gentleman had tea ; and, finally, was shown to bed room No. 26, to sleep for the night. On the same flat were other six bed-rooms, four of which were situated on one side—viz., Nos. 32, 26, 27, and 28—and three on the opposite side of the flat—viz., 31, 30, and 29. Then beneath thi' flat were other three bed-rooms--viz., 23, 24, and 5. With the exception of No. 25, all the rooms were occupied during the night. Previous to the "gentleman" retiring to rest the waiter, on inquiry, found that, in consequence of his being fatigued, he did not require to be called in the morning ; but, to the surprise of the servants, he wag up early, and about haltpast five on Thursday morning was standing at the coffee-room door, making inquiries for an umbrella, as he wanted to go by the first train to Carlisle. The um brella not being at hand when the omnibus drove up, he left without it, along with another gentleman of great respectability, and well known to Mr. Brodie, the pro prietor of the hotel, and who a l so h a d been sleeping in the house. ingSoboendraofotmer No.five o2'4clooenktha ecoflmatmbeeroceiaaltht7ovnellreirs,iongcon, was surprised at missing his gold watCh, which, previous to going to bed, he ha-1 put under his pillow, and also on tinding his trousers lying on the floor, with some silver and copper scattered about. At first he deemed that some one had entered his room in a "laik," but he soon discovered that he had been robbed. Fortunately he had wrapped his purse with its contents in his shirt, and this he found untouched. In a short time after, an other gentleman, a native of Spain, who occupied bed room No. 30, discovered that his room must have been entered, as the sum of Si. had been taken away ; and it was next ascertained, from the door hinges having been injured, that an attempt bad been made to enter bedroom. No. 33, but the occupant having bolted as well as locked the door, had prevented any one from entering. This was a fortunate circumstance, as the occupant had left his portmanteau open, containing a considerable sum of money. As all the parties lodg ing for the night were well known to Mr. Brodie, and as none hied left but the stranger and the other gen tleman already alluded to, suspicion was naturally directed towards the stranger, and the servant who at tended him was despatched by the following train in pursuit; but, in the meantime, it was ascertained by the telegraph, that instead of the stranger proceeding onward to Carlisle. he left the train at liexham, and though the police are on the alert the thief has as yet escaped detection. It appears that neither of th e gent l emen whose rooms had been entered had been disturbed, and the room doors in the morning were locked, and presented no marks of violence. The case resembles that re which two Americans had pcarrie d orted a on fe a w sy w s e t e e k m s oafgoP in plunder at hotels at Manchester and elsewhere, and where it was shown that by means of pliers of a peculiar description, which were found in connection with those robberies, the key in a door could be easily turned, the door opened, and again locked, leaving it apparently in the same state as before.
