Csltentikt THE SUN, the journalist, still addressing himself to these baffled traitors of Democracy, assures them that the people will protect them (the intriguers) against the perils of their own folly—that the people will force them to respect the Constitution by respecting it themselves — that the people, in a word, in the teeth of all their plots and machinations will perpetuate the reign of Democracy. "And meantime," he concludes, "continue to intrigue as much as ever you like against the Constitution, against the Republic, against the People." Why, in testimony of the wisdom and the reasonableness of all this contemptuous indifference for party conspi racies, take the conclusion deliberately arrived at by the foremost of all the English organs of legitimacy. The Quarterly Review, in the number published this vary day, at the close of an elaborate analysis of the c ause, the career, and the character of the last French Revolution, declares very explicitly, "Whatever is to be done must be the act of the nation at large, guided not by the feelings of individuals, but by the ex perience of all—by the effect, in short, of public •opinion—regina del mondo—of the grand experiment in which France has been so unfortunately involved, but which she must work out." Immediately after wards adding " Time and events will teach the French people whether a republic suits their tastes, their temper, or their interests." Yet M. DE LA ROCHE , JACQUBLIN, in the perverse egotism of his judgment, dreamt of surprising the Assembly into an abandon _ment or the present secure ground of Republicanism, and, by so doing, of startling the people into a timorous treason to democracy. The hardihood of the attempt is only to be equalled by its most pitiable failure — the most daring of the upholders of Legitimacy slinking away from the side of the unfortunate delin quent who thus hazarded and lost the fortunes of his faction. Not a word of exculpation was audible from the benches of the Right ! Not a vote was tendered in support of the proposition ! But, with a premoni tory protest on the part of M. Bumf, yea even of .M. DIJPIN, the Royalist President of the Legis lative Assembly, to the effect that the motion was inadmissible from its illegal and unconstitutional .nature—the Legislature, with all its mighty pha lanx of Monarchists, crushes the proposition with the silent unanimity of its condemnation. The party, we should say the so-called party of Order, have happily, by this ridiculous escapade, fully and utterly committed themselves. So utterly, that it is as if Guy FAWKES had boldly walked into the House of Lords, on the assembling of King JAMES'S Parliament, with that monster mask, and that gigantic match, and that Brobdignagian lantern, which are familiar to the frequenters of the regions of Pantomime. To this eccentric incident in the discussions of the Assembly we might apply the title of °TWAT'S tragedy, it being, in fact and in truth, nothing less than " Paris Preserved, or the Plot Discovered." Not without reason have we intimated that the thanks of all real Republicans are due to the unwitting blunder of that PILL GARLICK of Legitimacy, the Honourable Representative, M. DE LA ROCHEJACQUELIN. The community in general, and the owners and occupiers of property in the Holborn division of the county of Middlesex, in particular, are deeply in debted to Mr. MAYES for having raised, and con ducted with so much zeal and energy, the important question on the unequal and unjust assessment of the land-tax in different portions of the metropolis. Although the efforts of Mr. MAYES have not as yet been attended with success,—although the Commis sioners have refused to adopt the sound views put forward by the Learned Gentleman who so ably argued the case on behalf of the appellant,—a spirit has been excited which cannot be appeased until a full and complete measure of justice be rendered in the premises, and a more equitable principle introduced for the guidaace of the Commissioners. The law itself, undoubtedly, requires amendment, for it is monstrous that one district or locality should be bound to contribute more than one hundredfold, in proportion to its actual value, of that which is demanded from a more favoured and prosperous quarter. But much could be effectea, even under the present defective system, if the Commissioners would fully and fairly carry into operation the ex tensive powers with which they are entrusted, and not adhere with obstinate and unreasoning pertinacity to the mischievous and ill-considered precedents established by former boards. There is nothing whatever in the 38 Geo. 111., c. 6, the last Act relating to the subject, and the statute under which the tax is now levied and col lected, or in any former statutes, to render the de cision of the Commissioners with respect to the quotas assessed upon the different subdivisions of " the rest of the: county of Middlesex final and conclusive." There is no possible reason why the inhabitants of the wealthy parish of Marylebone should pay less than one half afarthing in the pound, while their less prosperous neighboxrs, in:St. Paul's, Covent-garden, are compelled to pay more than one shilling and tenpence-halfpenny in the pound—why St. Pancras should be assessed at the rate of one farthing in the pound only, while the Liberty of the Rolls is charged at the rate of 2s. 6d. An equal rate of little more than one penny in the pound (1 1-64 d.) would raise the entire sum charged upon the entire Holborn division, being 13,6791. 13s. sd. on an annual value of 3,232,597/. ; but, in place of that easy and equitable charge being made, we find Maryle bone, the real property in which is valued at 1,132,3241., only called upon to provide 564/. ss. id., and St. Pancras 1,399/. ss. 2d. out of 1,251,7371., while the Liberty of the Rolls must contribute 1,4371. 56. Bd. out of 14,5001., and St. Paul's, Covent -garden, 4,8401. 12s. out of 51,3451. This is 4 ` robbing Peter to pay Paul" with ss vengeance, or, :perhaps, it would be more correct Do say "robbing Paul to ease Pancras, and all but exonerate Mary . .from a common liability." LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1850. Happily for the cause of French Democracy, the Legitimatists have, betimes, been unmasked by them selvea. -Thanks to M. DE LA ROCUEJLCQUELIN Through the inopportune proposition of that heredi tary BoarboniSt, 'the intrigues of the aspirants for monarchical government have been suddenly dissi pated ; the whole scheme of the restoration has been abruptly cropped off long before it had approached even the preliminary stages of ripeness. The pear of conspiracy was green—green like the conspirators, aye as green • even as M. DE LA ROCHEJACQUELIN. Never wag there before so bald and bootless an ad venture. Certainly, if the representative of the his toric family of the pays_ des bocages dreamt of being aided bj, a swarm • of supporters, the conduct of the Assembly proved him to have " counted without his host" altogether. ,Even the most venturous of the quasi men- ofeorder shrank from the contamination of a pronamed.complicity. The Blondel of the scene was left , rl-5 much alone as the Roman at Corioli— only (a slight difference) the Volscians of Repub licanianfwere not fluttered. It was ORLANDO with out Darandel, but with a " dagger of lath." It was the King-Maker, not on the back of his destrier bd astride of a jackass. It was the Heart of-Lion.ooquetting,with e.• scullion in lieu of Berets tkever before ; we repeat, was there so bald and bootless an adventure. M. DB LA ROCHEJACQUISON thought to appear before France and Europe as the re deemer of Legitimacy. He has by his late preposterous exhibition only stood forth as the unintentional con solideter of the RePublic. There is something delightfully proVoking, in the contempt, the serene and siaidiMe contempt, scattered over the Honourable Representative and his colleagues, in a few blighting syllables by .the;-democratic organs of Paris. They hurl defiance at the whole squad of monarchical conaair4ors '.1(1/41) that, evident sense of derision which of all things is the most irritating to men of ambition, and mensibility. Foremost of all the Republican Journals in the French ca pital in inflicting this - finest insufferable of all kinds of expiation is the National. Its tone • of mingled scorn ana banter, whether emanating from Le.Orola.) DURAS we know not, but worthy of .the sarcastic genius of ARMAND MARIUS; is exquisite. " We know you well," exclaims the organ of Dernoaacy, apostrophising; the Legitima *its as " men of intrigue and not of principle ri " Yoti Wish, before the elections cf 1342 to quash the Constithtion! Eh, well! we tell you beforehand, you will not do it ! You v. isle to overthrow the Thoublic ?:•yott will rot do it! You wish to restore tie Monarchy ? you will' -not do it ! You are nothing, and that is the best that can possibly be said of you / You can do nothing ! You will do nothing ! It is the People who Will ! If is the People 'who Act ! But not et all in the manner von desire." Subsequently The Act itself would seem to eh.force an annual 'equitable distribution of the sum (107,6021. lls. 2d.) -charged upon " the rest of the county of Middlesex." section 7 the " Commissioners for the whole county" are required, at a general meeting, "to ascertain the proportions which ought to be charged upon every hundred, lathe, wapentake, rape, ward, or other division," towards raising the sum charged upon the entire county, by charging in proportion to the sums which were as sessed on the same hundreds and divisions respectively 'by the 4th William and Mary, c. 1. And yet it :now appears that there has been no general meeting .of the Commissioners for " the rest of the county of _Middlesex" since the year 1826, except when they were called together to select a commissioner under the "property and income-tax." Mr. COPPOCK was :perfectly justified in asserting that such a general :meeting was essential to "the legality of the tax," and that through this unaccountable negligence the assessment is void a2b initio. But - were it otherwise, it is quite clear that no length of time can justify a palpable robbery, rod that a long submissio n to injustice cannot deprive the aggrieved parties of the rights and privileges to which they were entitled under a solemn Act of Parliament. On Tuesday last an extraordinary general meeting of the Commissioners was held at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, "for the purpose of taking into considera tio n the present unequal distribution a the tax in the different parishes and divisions of the metropolis, and to take such measures as might be best fitted to effect an equalization of the assessment:, Many of the Commissioners on that occasion took a bold and manly view of their pullers and duties, and were prepared, so far as practicable, to remedy the existing grievances. A majority, however, were unwilling to grapple with the difFbeulty ; they de sired to cast the responsibility from themselves upon the Legislature. While none venture dto defend the present system, or to advocate the continuance of the existing state of affairs, five-sixths of those present re fused to undertake the duty of re-assessment, but de cided that they should "petition Parliament for an Act in which their powers shall be more correctly definedAand that a committee should be appointed to carryout that object." Although we cannot but condemn this timid and vacillating policy, it ir, perhaps, fortunate for the entire country that such was the determination. It is now certain that an appeal will be made to Parlia ment on the subject, and that the question will be forced on the consideration of the G-overnment and the Legislature. Undersuch circumstances, it is im:. possible that the Act can be limited in its operation to a single district or county ; that LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1850 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Ordre contains an article on Russia - from tiin pen of N. THIERS, an article which fully justifies the bold front which Lord PALMERSTON has assumed in regard to that most designing and unprincipled of the European Powers, and which shows that war with Russia is safer and cheaper than peace with her, so long as she pursues her present craftyand encroaching policy. Such an article from the pen of the personal and political opponent of Lord PALMERSTON, is most valuable, as it is an unwilling testimony borne to the justice of his views and to the soundness of his policy. N. THIERS begins by saying that Russia keeps up her immense armaments for the purpose of ruining the powers of the West by forcing them to keep ap large armies, whicb disorganize their finances and ruin their credit. The article then proceeds thus : " To this fearful method (says the Ordre) of a forced armament she employs a second means no less delusive, that of an exaggerated custom-house system, which amounts to a continental blockade. Thanks to the dis memberment of Poland, and the practical subjection in which she holds the northern provinces of the Ottoman empire, the Russian Government has become the master of all the great lines of communication by which the Austrian monarchy and the German Confederation might have intercourse with the East. And what has this Government done ? It has batted these lines. Upon the Niemen, the Pregel, the Vistula, and a part of the Warta, the Cabinet of St. Peters burgh has, in contempt of the treaties of 1815, in terdioted not only exchange, but even transit. The im mense commerce in corn and Lithuanian timber, which the Poles carried on with the ports of the Baltic, in exchange for German manufactures, has ceased. Russia has hermetically closed her frontiers against Germany. At the same time master of the months of the Danube, the Russian Government reigns over Austrian commerce in the Black Sea, against which it is every day raising fresh obstaclev." The writer then proceeds to show that, in addition to those methods, Russia is continually employed in fomenting differences between the European States, for the purpose of weakening them, and of adding to her own power by acting as arbitrator or protector, according to circumstances ; and that she is constantly endeavouring to foment troubles in the interior of each European State by intriguing with the different political parties into which the state may be divided. The writer then proceeds to observe : " Peace thus gives a preponderance to Russia such as she would not derive from the most fortunate war. Every day she accustoms the minor states to look to her as the arbitrator of the destinies of the world and the dispenser of universal good fortune or misery. The menacing immobility of her forces adds a hundredfold to their prestige. She keeps weak Governments in fear, and the world in suspense, and she derives as much ad vantage from apprehension as she could from a series of victories; she holds high language to great states; she counsels and conducts the little—in a word, she reigns. Look for proof at what is passing in the Austrian mo narchy, the Gorman Confederation, at Naples, at Por tici, at Constantinople, and at Greece ! Who over this immense space is feared and attended to? Who counsels King William at Stuttgardt, and Otho at Athens? Who speaks as never did ambassador like Prince Gortschakoff at Frankfort? Who addresses to the Whig Cabinet at London such unheard-of remonstrances? Who ? The Russian Government." It is, therefore, more than ever necessary that the' policy of resistance which Lord PALMERSTON has adopted should be carried out to the utmost, and that the people of England should not suffer themselves to be misled by the misrepresentations of the obscuran tist agents of the Russian policy, whether those mis representations may be made in the House of Peers or in the columns of a reactionary journal. The National has the following on the conduct of the Royalists on the motion of M. LAROCHEJAQUELIN : " Can monarchy proceed, as M. de Larochejaquelin would have it, from a delegation of the people? Can monarchy exist in virtue of any other right than its own? And if it has popular right given to it for its origin, is it still monarchy? Is that monarchy which it depends on the will of the people to abrogate? The faculty of delegation implies that cf revocation, and th© act itself by which the people might establish the monar chical form would be tke negation of the monarchical principle, and the affirmation of the popular sovereignty. A fortiori does what we here say apply to constitutioLal royalty? It may be seen, therefore, that as right and principle, monarchy has ceased to exist. Inexorable logic says it, and general feeling proclaims it. As a usurping and revolutionary fact, monarchy may, it is true, he re-ettlblished by violence and surprise; but only, as we have said, as a usurping and revolutionary fact, and transitory. It is an atuse of language to say that monarchy can be restored. The form of monarchy? Yes! We have just said how, and at what price. But the principle! Never. For once again monarchy is by itself. It cannot be—in its . essence and its truth—even in consequence of an abdication of the nation, which cannot abdicate its right over itself, and can always undo what it has done. Consequently the object intended by the proposition of M. de Larochejaquelin is nothing but nonsense. It ought to be well known that this word monarchy—legitimate or quasi legitimate—signifies no thing more titan revolution, violent triumph of injustice, and at a given moment, popular vengeance. Let those who wish for a restoration of any kind no longer speak if compromises impossible and necessarily perishable, except by oppression and abuse of force. Such is the question, and it must be accepted in these true terms : Eight and Republic, immortal as right—monarchy and usurpation, ephemeral as everything which is the fruit of iniquity and of violence." The Moniteur du Soir states that five soldiers were arrested on Thursday near the column of July, where they had placed a crown of immortalles. The review which was to have taken place in the Champ de Mars on Easter Monday has been post poned. The trial of the Legitimatists who were arrested some time since in the Rue de Rumford, on a charge of conspiring to overthrow the Republic, was con cluded before the Assize Court on Thursday. They were found guilty of having formed a secret society, and - sentenced to various terms of imprison ment, varying from one month to six days. The mildness of these sentences contrasts curiously with the severity of those recently passed on the editors of the Reforme and of the other tthheesae passed by the su preme Republican c our journals, o o u f r ne l s, Versaillesan d w o i with of June. Sentences such as these passed on the Le gitimatists are premiums to Royalist treason, and the Court which passes them is more guilty than even the conspirators, of whom it makes itself the ex post facto accomplice.

'7s. Id. The Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire called the attention of his constituents to the monstrous injustice of _their being required to pay ls. s d. in the pound on the net annual valuation of their lands, while other districts escaped for less than a farthing. The Honourable Gentleman and the party of which he is the recognised leader will, therefore, be bound to support a more equitable as sessment, and as they are for the time being the espe cial pets of the Right Honourable Baronet the Chan cellor:of her MAJESTY'S Exchequer, we cannot suppose that Sir CHARLES WOOD, although devoted to the laissez Aire policy, could resist the proposition when coming from such a quarter, more especially as it would bring a considerable additional revenue to the nation. If the land-tax were fairly and equitably assessed, according to the original intention of Parliament, it would not only provide for the entire expenditure of the country and the maintenance of all our national establishments, with full efficiency, but also for the interest of the public debt, that incubus that paralyses the energies of our industrious population. It was never intended to apply only to real estate, although the owners of personal property have, as in the case of poors-rate, continued to evade all liability. It was, in fact, a property-tax, by which every descrip tion of property was bound to contribute to the national exigencies at the rate of 4!. in the pound, on the annual value, or 20s. in the 106/. on the capitalised value. Now, the accumulated property of the country has been estimated to amount to no less than two hundred and fifty millions of pounds per annum, exclusive of the very valuable, although unproductive, property in the hands of the aristocracy. Four shillings in the pound on this sum would produce fifty millions sterling per annum, which a competent and unimpeachable witness, the Hon. Member for Glasgow, has considered nearly sufficient for the gross expenditure of the country, including the charges of collection. eppressed and over burdened tax Tay ers, reflect on this—think that the j ust and equitable assessment of the " land-tax" would permit the Government not only to strike off the whole of the assessed taxes, but even to abolish the customs and excise duties at one fell swoop, and to consign the " stamps and taxes" to the place from whence they came, and to which we trust they will speedily return. There is an object well worthy of a little extra labour, of the beneficial exercise of that " pressure from without" to which the " squeezable Whigs" have always been so ready to yield, and in which the agriculturists are bound to join under the efficient leadership of Mr. DISRAELI. We are rejoiced to find that the suggestion which we a short time since offered has been acted on, and that the preliminary steps have been taken to offer to Mr. PURNELL, the worthy, philanthropic, and inde fatigable Chairman of the Gloucestershire Quarter Ses sions, a public testimonial for his unwearied exertions in exposing and in remedying the atrocious abuses which have hitherto prevailed in Private Lunatic Asylums, and the continuance of which reflects such disgrace upon the board of Lunacy Commissoners (presided over by Lord ASHLEY), whose especial duty it is to exercise a vigilant super intendence over these asylums, which, if exercised as the Legislature were led by Lord ASIILEY to be lieve at the time it consented to pass the Lunacy Bill, it would have been exercised, would have effectually prevented the occurrence of these abuses. The Glou cester Journal of Saturday last contains the follow ing report of the preliminary proceedings : " A meeting was held at the Shire-hall, in this city, on Tuesday last, which was attended by Earl Fitzhar dinge (the Lord-Lieutenant), Lord Ellenborough, and several other magistrates, for the purpose of opening a subscription, to present Mr. Purnell, the County Chair man, with a public testimonial, for his conduct in rela tion to private lunatic asylums, for which a vote of thanks was passed to him at the last Quarter Sessions A committee was chosen for carrying out this object, and receiving subscriptions ; and Mr. Ellis, the Clerk of the Peace, and Mr. Bolden, of .London (who at tended on behalf of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society), were appointed secretaries, to assist the com mittee. This testimonial has been most deservedly earned by Mr. Purnell, for his unwearied exertions to ameliorate the treatment and condition of private lunatic patients, who are too frequently totally neglected. Although we understand it is desired to limit individual donations to a small amount, we have no doubt that the subscription will be warmly supported, not merely by the inhabitants of this county, but by the public gene rally, and it has our cordial best wishes for its success." We heartily join in the wishes expressed by our cotem porary for the success of this subscription, and if we can form any judgment as to the probability of that success from the present state of the subscription, as advertised in another column, its success will be as complete as the most ardent admirers of the zeal, energy, and high-mindedness of Mr. PURNELL could desire. It will be a national tribute to a national benefactor. We are rejoiced to find that among those present at the meeting on Tuesday were Earl FITZHARDINGE and the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, and we would most respectfully urge upon both those Noble Earls the necessity of drawing the attention of the House of Peers to the subject of the present state of the law of lunacy as soon after the Master recess as possible. The unfor tunate illness of the LORD CHANCELLOR, has hitherto prevented the introduction of any Bill for the altera tion of those laws, and we fear that there is now very little chance of carrying such a measure through Parliament during the course of the present session, but there is still time to move for a Committee of Inquiry, and such a Committee would not fail to elicit evidence which would be most valuable to those who might undertake during the recess to prepare a well-digested measure for the reform of the laws of lunacy, to be submitted to Parliament at the commencement of the ensuing session. Of the necessity of such a measure, the following extract from the report pre sented by Mr. PURNELL to the General Court of Quarter Sessions for Gloucestershire, furnishes ample proof : "Of such results is an important one—that the Me• tropolitau Commissioners have, in their lust visits to these houses, devoted a day to the careful inspection of each asylum." We will not offer one single word of comment on the above extract, save to draw the reader's atten tion to the fact that one of the important results of Mr. PURNELL'S labours has been " that the Me tropolitan Commissioners have in their last visit to these houses, devoted A DAY to the careful inspection of each asylum," and to ask whether all former in spections, in which less than a day was devoted to each asylum, must not have been mere mockeries ? THE AMERICANS AT NAPLf S.—The unprecedented feature of the season is the immense influx of American citizens. The " Britishers," both here and at Rome, are obliged to hold down their diminished heads; they who hitherto have ruled the roast in these parts are outflanked, outnumbered, by Jonathan. To speak the truth, the ma jority are evidently the product of the " store" or the chan dler's shop, showing no feature of the gentleman in their language, manners, education, or dress; and the universal wonder here is, where the " dollars " come from to enable them to disport their "free" persons in these latitudes. Many suppose they were brought over by contract, like the party mentioned by Dickens in his "Letters from Italy," and whom he encountered at Rome ; and there may be some truth in the supposition, for they mostly are met with in " gangs," with a " smart go-a-head man," who acts as fugle man and leader, and who can just splutter a little mutilated French. As Disraeli said the other day of the go-a-head Free -trade school in England, " they combine en ormous lying, with inexhaustible boasting and intense selfishness." This is very certain, they don't travel with letters of intro duction ; for one never sees them but at the theatres, the caf6s, the table d'hotes, or sight-hunting, in which they are indefatigable; at private houses or in society they are non e st. Such English as are in Italy this year for the first time, have had a fine opportunity of killing two birds with one stone—that is of studying the manners, customs, and lan guage of the natives, and the manners, customs, and language of the " genuine" Yankee article.— Chronicle. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. ♦ SEDITRY.—The follow ing daring attempt is reported in the Athlone Sentinel:—"A daring outrage was made on Tuesday morning to take the life of the sentry who was on gua rd at the gate of No , 2 bat tery. About two o'clock a man c ame to the gate and asked admission. On the soldier , privat e Thomas Mor gan , coming to within one yard of him, he fired a pistol shot , which lodged in his left arm and wounded him severely. The occurrence having been reported at the police barrack, head constable Dinney turned out his party and scoured the country; at the same time sending a mounted policeman in the direction of Roscommon, but no trace of the assassin could be found." Dr. Buckland still continues very much indisposed at his living at Islip. no change for . the better having taken place in the Reverend Doctor's health.—Somerset County Gazette. GERMANY• Letters from Berlin announce that the King of PRUSSIA is determined to follow up the line of policy suggested by MANTEUFFEL, and which led to the convocation of the Parliament of Erfurth. It is stated in a Berlin letter that the - city is to he surrounded with forts, and that the Minister of War has already ordered the construction of fortified bar racks near one of the gates. A Berlin letter, of the 24th, states that M. Rio had already arrived in that city, charged by the Austrian Government to negotiate for an arrangement of the question relative to the restricted Federal State. The differences between the Government and the Assembly of Wirtemberg hare been arranged for the present. Hanover has joined the Bavarian alliance. Russia has lent 800,000 marks to the state of Hesse Casel. On the night of the 20th, at Munich, patrols in the street were doubled. and precautionary measures adopted. Apprehensions were entertained that the prohibition to all newspapers in public-houses and taverns would cause public disturbance. The new Communal law was published at Vienna on the 23d. The city, with its suburbs, will form a distinct community, and is divided into eight circles for the administration of justice. The community will be represented by a communal council, composed of 120 members. Public functionaries, clergy of all deno minations, and officers of the standing militia, are ' entitled to vote. Independently of this, an income tax of 10 to 20 florins gives the right to vote. All persons who are not of unblemished character are excluded. The elections are to take place by three bodies of electors, classified according to the rate of income-tax, each of which is to return 40 members. The election of the burgomaster of Vienna must be confirmed by the Eurianoit. The Select Committee of the Commission for the representation of Austriam industry and manufac tures for the London Exhibition of 1851 is composed of the five following Members, chosen out of the com mission :—M. President TLIURDON flouNcosTEL, M. OTTO SCHUMN, M. CHOALIN SPORLIN, the Prince SALM, and Dr. HOCK. Prince SALM hs.ving de clined the election, M. ZiErEr. has been chosen in his stead.—llamburgh Borsenhalle, March 26. RUSSIA AND POLAND. WARSAW, MARCH 11. —The Government Com mission of the Interior is at present occupied with the very important law affecting the future condition of the peasantry. It has been resolved that all the villages in the empire shall be colonised—that is to say, every village shall form a long broad road, along both sides of which the houses of the peasantry shall be erected ; an equal number of acres of arable land shall be apportioned to every peasant ; nothing, how ever, has as yet transpired as to whether the peasant is to be a free unshackled possessor of the piece of ground assigned to him, by giving the former pro prietor an equivalent sum, or letters of mortgage upon the mortgaged farm, or whether he is to be merely a tenant (zinsbauer), i. e., whether, after the removal of the feudal tax (robath), he is to pay a stated amount of rent for the ground and soil of which he is now the proprietor. _ _ _ On the 15th the Polish Bank intends to circulate new issue of the bank-notes of the value of three silver roubleF, many of the old ones having been called in.—llamburgh Borsenhalle. ITALY. The Osservatore Romano of the 18th announces the arrival at Rome of M. Micaan, secretary to Car dinal Durowr. It adds that M. MICARD immediately waited upon General BARAGUAY-D'HILLIERS, and had a long conference with him, and that the General returned him his visit on the following day, and again stayed a long time with him. The Osservatore con cludes its article as follows : " It is said that the Holy Father, being informed that the mission of the General is likely soon to cease, in tends to hasten his return in order to give the illustrious commandant a personal proof of confidence and esteem, and that the journey of M. Micard had no other object but that of coming to an understanding as to the final steps to be taken. Cardinal Dupont is still with his Holiness, and since his Eminence has succeeded in re moving existing difficulties, may it please God that no new difficulties may arise." The Riferma of Lucca of the 20th, in speaking of the dispute that has arisen between Tuscany and the British Government, and of the Sardinian mediation proposed by the latter, says that the Austrian Govern ment has shown great displeasure at this mediation, and presented a strong note to the British Cabinet on the subject. Sir G. HAMILTON, according to this account, has countermanded the grand ball he had prepared for the marriage of the Archduchess, and forbid the persons attached to the embassy to appear in the salons of the Pitti palace. The Nazionale of Florence stops the press to announce that the Tuscan Government has refused the Sardinian me• diation." AFFAIRS OF GREECE. The Supplement of the Corfu Gazette of the 15th contains the following dispatch from Count NESSAL RODE to M. PERSIAN!, the Russian Ambassador at Athens : "His Majesty the Emperor is much concerned at the unsatisfactory accounts from Greece, and immediately commissioned M. Von Brunnow to inform Lord Palmer ston of the unfavourable impression which the compul sory measures adopted towards the Greek marine had produced upon the mind of his Majesty—measures which may destroy the existing peace, and placs the kingdom createl by the three Posers in great difficul ties. Ilia Majesty hopes that the Government of Great Britain will be disposed to settle this unpleasant affair amicably, and has not the least doubt that by the friendly intervention of F, ance, it may already have been adjusted. If, however, the intervention of France should lead to no result, Russia is willing to undertake the settlement of this unpleasant difference. " Count Von Nesselrode, in sending M. Persiani a copy of his note to M. Von Brunnow, admonishes him, at the same time, to give his hest advice to the Greek Government, in order that the matter may be speedily settled. " Count Nesselrode fully approves of tho conduct of M. Persiani." The Duke and Duchess of Buecleuch, who are staying at his Grace's hunting-seat at Bowhill, intend to leave Scotland for town the week after next for the season. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk are entertain ing a succession of visitors at Arundel Castle during the holidays. The Noble Duke and Duchess purpose returning to Norfolk House for the season early in the week after next. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland are sur roun led by a select circle at Trentham, Staffordshire where the Noble Duke and Duchess i n t en d t o s t ay unt il the week after next. The Duke of Rutland is entertaining a large party at Belvoir Castle during the holidays, and his Grace intends to receive a succession of distinguished friends at his princely seat, until the second week in the ensuing month. The Duke of Devonshire, on leaving Chatsworth, went on a visit to the Duke of Rutland, at Belvoir Castle, to meet their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, and afterwards visited the Earl and Countess of Wilton, at Egerton Lodge, at the close of which his Grace came to town, and has since left Devonshire House for his marine residence at Kemp Town. The Earl and Countess of Eglinton are expected to arrive at their mansion in St. James's-square at the end of next weak, from Eglinton Castle, N.B. The Earl and Countess of Ellesmere are passing the holidays at Hatchford Park, near Cobham, surrounded by a select circle. The Earl and Countess Craven intend to remain at Coombe Abbey, near Coventry, until the close of next month, when they come to town for the season. The Earl and Countess of Wilton and family will remain at Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray, until after the race meeting at Croxton Park, of which races the Noble Earl is steward, in conjunction with the Marquis of Granby and Lord Forester. Lord and Lady Lyndhurat and the Honourable Miss Copley leave Turville Park for town the week after next. Viscount and Viscountess Melbourne purpose stay ing a month longer at Brocket Hall, Herts, and then remove to town for the season. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., ALP., accompanied by Mr. F. Peel, M.P., Rad Captain Wm. Peel, R.N., arrived at Drayton Manor, Staffordshire, on Wednesday last, Lady and Mists Peel having previously arrived at the family seat. All severity which does not tend to increase good or prevent evil is idle.— Eliza Cook's Jouimal. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Thursday evening a female of respectable appearance, while walking in St. John-street, suddenly fell on the pavement. A surgeon was called to her, who said life was extinct. She was removed to Clerkenwell workhouse, Coppice-row. She had on a green merino dress with white stripes and a victorine. She ap peared about fifty years of age, and wore a wig. There were 9s. in her pocket, but no document to lead to her identification. NUTMEG PASTE.—An importation has recently taken place from Rotterdam of a parcel of paste prepared from nutmegs, for the purpose of mixing with soap, and which, finding no description applicable thereto in the table of duties, was declared as goods manufactured not otherwise enumerated at the ad valorem duty of ten per cent., which description was objected to by the officers of the revenue, who considered it to be liable to duty, as an expressed and essential oil, of one shilling per lb., which rate of duty has on consideration of the matter, been directed to be charged, on the article. IMPORTS FROM IMERICA.—The new American built line-of-packet ship Yorktown, of upwards of 1,200 tons burden, which has arrived in the decks, from New York, has brought a very extensive cargo of provisions and general merchandise, including bacon, beef; rice, pork, cheese, hops, lard, apples, sugar, oil cake for cattle, and a variety of other articles. In addition to the interest attaching to an impor tation of nearly 200 bales of American hops on this occasion, the vessel brought nearly 100 hogsheads, pipes, and other casks of port wine, consigned to wine houses here, and to order. This importation of wine, the produce of Portugal. from the United States of America, is remarkable, and of course was not practicable previously to the relaxation of the navigation-laws having taken place. Another feature in this cargo is the importation of 110 barrels of flour, 112 barrels of biscuits, 13 tierces of rice, two tierces of vinegar, five tierces of oatmeal, and 5701b5. weight of tea, which are officially de clared to be emigrants' stores for exportation in the same ship, and are intended for consumption by the parties who will emigrate in the vessel to New York, instead of requiring the supply of such articles from the bonded or other stores in this country. TUE ARMY.—The following changes have taken place in the head-quarters and depot stations of the under mentioned regiments during the present month :—The head quarters of the 26th (Cameronians) embarked at Cork on the sth of March for Gibraltar, and the depot proceeded to Jer sey.

Some of the abovenamed regiments are still on the march, but letters from the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the respective corps, should be addressed to them at the stations which they have been ordered to occupy. - - SEC:CLUNG ACCIDENT IN ALDERMANBURY.—On Thursday, shortly - after twelve o'clock, a serious accident hap pened in Aldermanbury to two persons, a man and a boy, who were employed in repairing a house, and who are now in St. Bartholowew's Hospital, in consequence of the in juries received. There is a scaffold in front of the building, and, it being dinner time, they were both leaving their work. The boy had got about half-way down the scaffold, when he pat his foot upon a piece of timber that was placed longi tudinally in the, wall. This being loose, came away, the effect of which was that he fell to the ground. The block of timber struck the man on the head, when he was immediately precipitated from the scaffold. They were instantly as sited up, and, being found to be seriously injured, were placed upon shutters and conveyed by the workmen to St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. After being attended by the house-surgeon they were placed in bed in the accident ward. AN OPINION ON TUE FASHIONS.—" My son," said an old turbaned Turk one day, taking his child by the hand in.tho, streets of Cairo, and pointinc , out to him on the opposite side a Frenchman justintorted7 , in all the elegance of Parisian costume, "my son, look there! If you ever forget God and the Prophet you may come to look like that I MONEY . and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER 70 THREE. The week's operations of the Bank of England to the 23d instant indicate no increased demand for accomoda tiou. Oa the contrary, with an addition of 383,2781. to the specie and notes unemployed, there is a marked de cline of active circulation, and some i eduction in the securities. The increased amount placed to the Go vernment credit will in part acecunt, as heretofore, for the quantity of notes thrown back upon the Bank.
