A question of•some interest has arisen respecting the disposition of the sums subscribed for the relief of the surviving families of the unfortunate men who some time since perished in the Worthing Roads, while en gaged in a gallant, but ineffectual, attempt to convey assistance to the distressed crew of the Lalla Roolch Indianan. The nation leas, it appears, responded nobly to the thrilling appeal made on behalf of those who lost their protectors and providers on that melancholy occasion. No less than 5,0001. has been collected, which remains at the disposal of the com mittee, or rather committee; of management, and is now ready for distribution. This is as it should be. The sufferers under such an awful dispensation are at all times fitting objects for sympathy and relief. No pecuniary gifts could compensate for the loss of the husbands and fathers who were cut off in the strength and vigour of manhood by that fearful calamity, but it is possible to mitigate the wretched ness, to alleviate the miseriea of the widows, the orphans, and childless parents, who were reduced to a state of poverty and destitution by that fatal event, with no resource but the union workhouse?, un l ess res cued from sc painful an alternative by the hu manity of their more fortunate brethren. 'lhe mere loss that t h e y sustained, the sudden nature of the calamity. were alone sufficient to render the claims of the sufferers irresistible; but these claims were immeasurably increa 2 ed when we considered the character of the transaction i n which they were deprived of life. They were endeavouring to afford succour to the unfortunate, endangering their own lives in a heroic attempt to rescue the desp airin g sea men from impending death, and, if practicable,to pre serve the property of the owners or underwriters of the vessel. They were the soldiers of humanity, and fell gloriously under that spotless banner. Such fear less conduct as they displayed should be encouraged in every country, but it especially behayed a maritime nation to rend's' due honour to the instnoric; of these who perished while attempting to snatch others from the perils and dangers of the angry ocean. And nothing would more powerfully influence others to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, emulate the brilliant example than the certainty that their dependent relations would, in the event of any fatal accident, be protected by their grateful country. The judicious and proper applica tion of the sacred fund, so that the greatest possible benefit may be conferred on the parties for whom it was realized, becomes an object of national import ance, and the parties entrusted with the duty should not suffer any peculiar fancies of their own to inter fere with the proper solution of the problem. Now it has, we believe, been suggested that cer tain debts, due and owing by the deceased at the time of their deaths, should be liquidated in the first instance out of the fund. Although we would gladly see honest tradesmen, to some of whom these debts may be matters of importance, satisfied the full amount of their just demands, we cannot consi der that any portion of the subscriptions already handed in should be devoted to such a purpose. It was not with that intent that the money was col lected, and it would be a breach of faith if its desti nation were now altered in any degree. The sub scription was for the benefit of the widows and children and destitute parents of the drowned fisher men, and it cannot fairly be applied to any other purpose, or given to creditors in their place. Even if there were no special contract with the subscribers by the terms of the appeal, we have a legislative pre cedent which must be decisive on the point. By the 9th and 10th Vic., c. 93, which gave an action for damages against the person by whose wrongful act, neglect, or default, the death of any party was occa stoned, it was particularly provided that the creditors of the deceased should have no claim upon the amount of the verdict, but that it should be for the benefit of the wife, husband, parent, or child of the person whose death had been so caused ; and the juries were empowered to allocate the amount between the several claimants. We cannot see any grounds upon which such payments to creditors could be justified in the present instance, unless made at the special instance and request of the surviving re latives, and out of the shares to which they might become entitled. Again, it has been asserted that the fund being in the nature of a national reward for a brave and gal lant action, the distribution should be made to all alike, without any distinction as to age or circum stances. This proposition is fat more plausible, and can be supported by stronger arguments than that to which we have just alluded; but, on full consideration, it does not ap• pear to stand on a much more valid foundation. The fund was collected chiefly, if not altogether, fur the relief of the distress occasioned by the calamity. There are eleven classes of claimants, the surviving relatives of each of the men who lost their lives on the occasion, and we submit that the comparative loss sustained by the respective families should be ascer tained in as just proportions as practicable. One man might be capable of earning far more than another, and his dependents might be much more numerous. It would ba by no means just to distribute the fund in equal portions, without taking the various circum stances into consideration, and making each class pro portioned to the loss sustained by the parties belong ing thereto. When the fund has been thus apportioned in classes the relative claims of the parties belonging to each class should then be adjudicated upon. There may be widow, children, and parent, whose various positions should be accurately ascertained. The committee will have imposed on them a function similar to that of a jury under the 9th and 10th Vic., c. 93 ; they will have first to assess the damages, and then to appor tion the amount between the various claimants. Where the parties who may be deemed to be en titled to any portion are of tender years, of course their share should be secured for their benefit when they attai❑ their majorities, a part being applied for their present maintenance and advancement in life, whenever a fitting occasion should arise,; but we would suggest that those who have arrived at mature ages should be banded over their portions at once, to deal with as they think proper, and ; that there should be no attempt to dispose of it " for their" ad vantage, without their full consent. A sum, that would provide but a few shillings a week, barely sufficient to keep a party out of the workhouse , might, if invested in business or available for any Of the many favourable opportunities that are constantly occurring to persons of humble stations, who have a little ready money at command, render the recipients comfortable and independent, and in comparatively affluent circumstances. We trust that the committee will not lose sight of these considerations, or suffer the temptation to keep up a constant interference in the affairs of the families to prevail. Why should ' they make any regulations to deprive a widow of her share, if she should think proper to enter into a second matrimonial connexion ? It seems to us that any such rules as it is asserted are about to be adopted should be carefully avoided. We, perhaps, owe some apology to the committee for supposing that any such suggestions should be necessary. We are fully convinced that they are collectively and individually animated by an anxious desire to perform their pleasing duty fairly and im partially : it is only errors of judgment that are to be guarded against, and feeling, as we have already , stated, that the matter is one of almost national im portance, we think that it comes fairly within the province of a public journalist to notice and comment upon. It is the same with nations as with individuals— those to whom much has . been given from them is much required. Where rank and station are con ferred it is naturally expected that the recipients shall generously act up to the amenities of life. A stingy Monarch would be an abomination in the eyes of Englishman ; were such an epithet to be applied to his reigning Sovereign it would be instinctively re garded and repudiated by Jours BULL as a national libel. Proudly prejudiced in favour of a Monarchy, which throughout its long historical roll is less tar nished than that of any other nation, and certainly has culminated to a height of radiating power and wisdom hitherto unattained by any of the great families of the earth, ancient or modern, whatever is adequate to the regal sustentation of his favourite form of government, be has never grudged, but al ways readily, and almost lavishly, provided. So much does the Englishman abhor parsimony that his excess of generosity might rather be viewed as a weakness, and charged as prodigality. The inequalities of wealth in this country are proverbial—so prepon - derating, that common sense revolts from the propriety of their recognition. Unequal distribution of property of every description has always existed, and will never cease, but the more civilization ad vances, the more natural and legitimate the expecta tion that excrescences should be pared down, and that a fairer diffusion of the accumulation of capital should be the necessary result. But though beneath oligar-, chieal influences, and monopolising laws—their cer tain offspring —property has been suffered to shape it self into such inequitable masses, it would neverthe less be uncandid to deny, that the extent, munifi cence, and almost infinite variety of the charitable institutions that have sprung up under the auspices of the affluent orders, and which now cover the land, fortunately conduced for the time to reconcile the opera tive portions of the community to the severe pressure of class-legislation. Before the science of political economy was so well understood as it now is, the higher orders might, perhaps, have been excused for not fores eein g that the exclusive and pro tective system, w hich governed their l eg i s l ator i al policy, was so perniciously calculated to endanger the very fabric of the State. It was their ignorance that gave splendour to their donative spirit, and the virtue of gratitude led the humbler divisions cf the commu nity to cherish and extol the spontaneous beneficence of the aristocracy. Happily, enlightenment upon every topic suggestive of the material progress of a nation, has been rapidly spreading itself from the time of HUSILISSON to th e p resent h our , an d, w hilst the feeling of individual charity is not abated one jot amongst us, we have, within tha last ten years, illu minated our statute-beck with laws that breathe the spirit of rational charity i n i ts mos t comprehensive form. This benign Policy has invigorated the empire throughout. We are reanimated. Even a Whig Chancellor of the Exche quer may greet the ears of St. Stephen's with the cry of "Eureka." For two successive years he can de clare a hendsomesurplui. But the benefit of this re generative policy is not to be confined to the United Kingdom. It would not be wise to be selfish in our prosperity. What we have realized for ourselves we must and ought, es quickly as circumstances may justify, disseminate to all our colonies ; they have a powerful claim upon our enlightened consider• ation ; they have many grievances to be redressed. We have a great civilizing mission to work out. Great in ourselves, we are still greater from our vast dependencies on the British Crown ; their reform has been already begun in a commendable man . ner. Representative institutions, have been recently conceded to New South Wales, and, to use the words of Earl GREY, in an important dispatch, lately published, to Sir Cu ARLES FITZROY, " these will, it cannot be doubted, very speedily be extended to the other Australian colonies:' In the same paragraph his Lordship observes, " that all the re strictions heretofore imposed on colonial trade lay im perial legislation have now been removed." These are grateful promises and grateful facts. The bless ings we have achieved for the mother country we have aptly and generously bestowed upon our com patriots in another hemisphere. The advantages of free trade are now not less with the colonists than with ourselves. With free institutions they have a lever in their own hands, by which they can raise themselves to a scale of national importance and dignity which will hereafter testify to the fostering care and provident wisdom of their renowned political architect. That much remains to be done for our: colonies, need not be controverted. We are now reducing our military forces in Australia, evincing our confidence that they are enabled to guard them selves against any serious internal hostilities. It will continue to be our especial duty to repel any attack that may be made upon them by a foreign enemy. It should be the aim of the British statesman so to ma nage the affairs of our colonies that the maintenance of our regular forces within their respective confines should be as limited as possible. To preserve their loyalty and affection is the sole object we have to covet. The work goes bravely on ; we have only to persevere in the same course of universal charity, slinking every portion of our empire with the pro gress and well-being of humanity, to ensure a rich harvest to our immediate descendants and future generations. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The debate on the CHANGARNIER affair was again adjourned after the speech of M. DE LAMARTINE. The situation becomes more clear as the debate pro ceeds; it is evident that CHANGARNIER was all along the general of the Legitimatists. The speech of M. BERRYER avows as much, and is considered both by Republicans and Bonapartists as a declaration of war. In commenting on it the Presse says : " For three years, since the revolution of February, the Legitimatist party had disappeared as apolitieal party. It had veiled its altar, folded up its colours; postponed to other times the vindicatisn of its old right; confounded in the ranks of the reaction, it had co-operated, by its votes in the Assembly, in that work of resistance which, by russ or force, has taken back from the democracy all the advantages which the latter had wrested from the monarchy. It is the common thought of self-pre servation which has been the cementing bond of the majority. Born from fear, the majority necessarily ended in violence.,The Orleanists and the Legitimatists, terrified at the same danger, fought together against the Republic, which appeared to them as a forerunner of Socialism. It is this negative coalition which has hitherto been the point of support of the Government of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. The Legitimatist and Orlesnist par ties formed what is called the party of order—that is a party without principles, without character, without object, which could not propose anything, found any thing, organize anything. The presence of the Count de Chambord near the frontier of France, the Legitimatists at Wiesbaden, and the Orleanists at Claremont, have proved that this neutral situation of the majority had reached its term, and that a new situation was about to commence. M. Berryer's speech yesterday was only the Parliamentary consecration of a political act already consummated. After that speech no illusion is possible. The white flag has been raised from the dust in which it had fallen: it now floats in the ranks of the majority. In a word, the Legitimatist party has ceased to be one of the divisions of what is called the party of order. It is a hostile camp. The La Vent*: in the Parlia ment has risen; Charette is named Berryer. This re course to arms on the part of the Legitimatists, an pounced by M. Berryer with a frankness which does him honour, and which he disengaged from the respon sibility cf the manifesto of Wiesbaden, in order to render it less unpopular, does not allow to M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte any hesitation or illusion.. There is no safety for the elected of December 10 except in the Republic. Henceforward, at , acked by the parties he had made his allies, he must either become their prisoner, or must break them in pieces with the only force that he can employ—the Constitution and universal suffrage. If the Republic could have suffered from the attacks which were made on it by M. Berryer, it was gloriously reha bilitated by M. de Lamartine. But it may be said that in his language the reality was effsced by the ideal. The speaker looked at the political situation s with a poet's eye, and unfortunately it the mirror is enchanting, it is not always true. M. Berryer and M.. de Lamar tine have been only the eloquent organs of the Monarchy and the Republic. It was between those principles that the contest was engaged rather than between the two powers of the State. The dismissal of General Chan gamier, the review of Satory, the minutes of the Per manent Committee, become secondary facts, which faded into comparative insignificance before the grandeur of the struggle. However, the Executive power is not out of the cause; the speech of M. Berryer aggravates its responsibility by enlarging its duty. It is not any longer enough far him not to betray the Republic, not: to sa crifice it to his ambition, he must defend it against all Its enemies, and must renounce seeing allies in the par ties whom he considered his accomplices." The supporters of the PRESIDENT seem also to be of the opinion of the Presse. It is clear from the following, which appears in the Constituiionnel, that henceforth there is war, irreconcileable war, between the Bonapartists and the Legitimatists : "Do you desire to have back the monarchy with M. Berryer (asks the Constitutionnel), then act as he does. Keep the head of the Executive on tutelage. Take from him all liberty and dignity, and you must even tually undermine his power. Place by his side, rather _over his head, a man who, while he !appears to serve him, is in reality watching him, patrontsitig eclipsing him. Should there be question of a dotation, grant it only on the demand of this chaperon. Should there be cries uttered by the soldiers, which, however, is unconstitutional, yes excusable, in presence of the heir of the greatest name in modern history, cause them to be suppressed by the general, who placed by the side of the Constitution, is greater and more respected. Let the eye of the country be di rected towards the elected of the 10th December, only see his master, so that when in fifteen months France shall have to elect a new chief of the Republic, she will turn her eyes away with contempt and disdain from the degenerated blood of Bonaparte, if she does not even confound in the same disgust tho institutions which he personifies. It is to attain this object, of which they are so far from making a secret, that they glorify themselves on account of it, that M. Berryer and his friends have need of a President abased and eliminated General Changarnier and his protectorate, are needful for their designs. General Neumayer was also wanting for the success of this Royalist combination. M. Ber ryer has said what he wieht d for—he has done so with frankness and clearness; and if he luses those who follow him he does not deceive them." The following four amendments to the resolution proposed by the Committee on the proposition of M. DE REMUSAT have been laid on the bureau of the National Assembly. The first, by D'ADELSWARD, is as follows : " The Assembly, firmly resolved to combat all parties opposed to the Republic and to defend the Constitution, passes to the order of the day." The following is by M. SAINTE-BEUVE : " The Assembly declares that it has not confidence in the Ministry, and passes to the order of the day." MM. LESTIBOUDOIS, LEBEUF, and MIMEREL, pro pose : " The National Assembly, recognizing the eminent services rendered to the country by General Changer nier, but animated by a desire to preserve harmony be tween the powers, passes to the order of the day." The following is by M. LACLAUDURE : " The Assembly, considering that the Ministry, by favouring the sale in the streets of a great number of journals which daily attack the;Assembly, and,above all, the:Republic and the Constitution,and constituting a pri vilege in favour of these journals by its refusal to permit the sale of other journals which defend the Republic and the Constitution, has committed a grave attack upon liberty, and despised the rights of equality secured by law to all citizens. Considering that the Ministry and the Executive power, by ordering extrordinary re views which were unnecessary, and the displacement of large bodies of troops, have occasioned to the country great and completely useless expenditure; and consider ing that in tolerating at these reviews seditious cries ut tered in the presence of the Ministers, the President of the Republic, and the Commander-in-Chief of the army, and in not proceeding against the officers who were grave the attack Ministry guilty of th ese se di t i ous cr i es, the M i nisters have made a end militarythe Executive Power, thed Assembly blames passes b u tT p ; d to the order of the day." The National announces, in an article signed by LEOPOLD DURAS, who speaks in the name of the whole of the opposition of the Left, that it is on ly on condition of adopting the amendment of N. SAINT•BEUVE that that portion of the majority which is opposed to the Elysee can hope for the sup port of the Republican minority in the Assembly. The Republican press has suffered a great loss, by the death of N. Louis PEEEE, chief editor of the Sicle, who died suddenly, from congestion of the brain, early on Friday morning, M. PEREE had been engaged at the office the whole of the day, and an article, signed by him, appeared in the Siècle GC Thursday, lie was one of the founders of the Siecle, under the Monarchy, was appointed Mayor of the third arrondissement by the Provisional Govern- merit, was elected a member of the Constituent Assembly, and had the cross of the Legion of Honour conferred on him by General CAVAIGNAC, for his bravery on the 15th of May, and during the drys of June, 1848. He was only thirty-five years of age. M. GRANTER DE CASSAGNAC'S journal, the Pouvoir, has ceased to appear. The Bourse was calm, with little business doing.

PAIN. Madrid journals of the 11th instant have arrived. The Heraldo, the journal of NARVAEZ, gives the following account of the Ministerial crisis : " The General having resolved to retire into private life to re-establish his health, waited on the Queen in the evening of the 10:h, and requested her to accept his resignation. Her Majesty, as on previous occasions, declined to receive it, and the othe r Ministers accord ingly went to her and submitted to her the General's rea sons for wishing to retire. At last, the gieen, after some resistance, couented to accept the resignation, and General Narvatz immediately after presented himself' to offer his thanks. Her Majesty, with much emotion, expressed her confidence in him, and her grati tude for the services he had rendered. The other Minis ters then offered their resignation, but the Queen did not accept it." The khraldo adds that General Narvaez, " desirous that neither his name nor his presence should serve as a pretext to any political arrangement," deter mined to leave Spair, and actually set off the same night. In a P.S. the Heraldo says:— " Up to this moment the resignation has not been ac cepted, neither has there been called. to the Palace any man capable of forming a Ministry. Many Ministerial candkateships are spoken of in Madrid. We Can state positively that none of them have the least foundation. The most probable is that this day the Marquis de Pidal will be called in and consulted. It is almost certain that he will not accept the task of forming a Cabinet, and will confine himself to in dicating the person to whom her Majesty may apply. It is said that the person he will name will be either the Marquis de Miratiores, or M. Martinez de la Rosa; but this is only conjecture. It is not probable that either this night or in the morning anything positive will be known. In Madrid, it is needless to say, the most com plete tranquillity prevails." We read in a Madrid letter of the 11th "Yesterday evening, General Name's, whose resig nation thu Queen bad not accepted, assembled his col leagues and said to them with emotion, I request you to carry my resignation to the Queen, and get it accepted, otherwise I will blow out my brains.' The accent of deter mination with which these words were uttered induced the Ministers to go to the Queen and obtain her unwilling assent. The others, also, offered their resignation, which was not accepted. When the General was in formed of the Queen's acceptance, he became calm, and at once gave orders for his immediate departure from Madrid. To-day, at three, he left Madrid for France. Before going he took leave of their Majesties. The Gazette, this morning, published the following decree signed by the Queen, and countersigned by M. Pidal:— to the reiterated request ot;he Duke of Valencia, the President of the Council, to withdraw from office on account of his health, I accept this resignation, and declare myself highly satisfied with his devoted ness, and with the eminent services which he has rendered to my throne and to the nation in the ex ercise of his high functions. January 10.' The Cla mor Publico, in its quility of opposition journal, pub lishes an apocryphal list of the new Ministry, run ning thus:—Marquis of Mirefiores, Foreigh Affairs and President of the Council; Egana, Justice: Giunt, Interior; Valdegamas, Commerce; Pastor, Finance; Bustillo, Navy ; and Count d'Alcoy, War. This list only exists in the brain of the writer: our information states that the Ministry will only be modified. It is believed that M. Pidal has been charged by the Queen to reconstruct the Cabinet. It is supposed that M. Vidal and M. Mon are to be the influential members of the new Cabinet, which probably will close the Cortes. The funde have only slightly fallen." MADRID BOMA, JAN. 11.—Three per Cents., 32i ; Five per Cents., 12k. Exchange on London, 50 65 paper. GJ RAIAN Y. The French Ministerial journal the Constitutionuel, and the Journal des Debats, which is the organ of the Austrian Embassy, contain the following from Dresden : The conferences at Dresden are nearly concluded. The plenipotentiaries have arrived at a result which appears to be definitive. On the 12th they signed the following resolution :—" The German Confederation is reconstituted on a new basis. In place of seven teen votes, of which the old Diet was composed, the new one is reduced to eleven votes, which will be distributed as fellows : Austria, with its States, including the Italian States 2 Prus3ia ~. ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 Ihuuver... ... ... ... ... ... 1 Wurtembcrg Kingdom of Saxony ...

The Presidency of the Diet is to belong alter nately to Prussia and Austria. The Diet will keep up an army of 130,000 men. Prince SCAWARTZENBERG and the Bavarian and Hanoverian Plenipotentiaries left Dresden on the 14th. There will now be no congress of Continental Monarchs in that city. General THUNBN, the Prussian Commissioner in Holstein, returned to Berlin on the 15th, for further instructions. It is stated in a letter from Vienna, of the 10th, that the reason why the directors of the Bank of Vienna resigned en masse was that they were constantly at tacked by the Ministerial journals. The total amount of bank-notes in circulation is about 254,000,000 florins, of which about 166,000,000 florins were issued by order of the Government, and for the supply of its wants. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna of the 13th says :—The Bank held a sitting this day : it abandons in favour of the State 900,090f1. interest on paper money. The old directors will probably be re elected. The dividend is fixed at 35 florins. The reserve fund amounts to 2,136,000 florins." The Austrian Lloyd's of Vienna says that the Rus sian Government has resolved to establish a tele graphic line from St. Petersburgh to join the lines of Vienna and Berlin. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Norddeutsche Freie Presse publishes the fol lowing account of the last sitting of the Holstein Chamber o❑ the 10th, and of the events which pre ceded it. It says— " The night of the 10th of January has brought a weighty decision of the affairs of the Duchies. The majority of the representatives of the people have given up the cause of the nation, and empowered the Govern me❑t to submit itself to the demands of Austria and Prussia. " Although the proceedings were secret, yet, now the decision is taken, mystery is useless. Ths people of Germr.ny have a right to know not only the decision, the publication of which is ordered by the Government itself, but the manner in which it was arrived at. _ " On the 6th of January the Commissaries arrived at Kiel, delivered their credentials, and made known their demands to the Stadthalterschaft. The credentials (or pouvoirs) were drawn up in the name of the German Bund for the Commissary of Austria; for the Prussian Commissary in the name of Prussia and its allies. " The terms demanded contained the five following points:-1. An immediate cessation of hostilities. 2. .-The withdrawal of all the Holstein troops to the south of the Eyder. 3. The reduction of the army to one third of its present force. 4. The dissolution of the Chamber. 5. A suspension of all measures taken for the continuance of the war. " The terms were accompanied by a delaration that the Danish Government was ready at the same time to withdraw its troops from the south of Schleswig, so that only such small detachments might be left there as were necesssry to preserve the public Peace: Questions of right and legality were de clared by the Commissaries to be beyond their func tions, and mast be reserved for further negotiations be tween the German Bund and the sovereign of the Duchies. They also declared the object of their mission to be the restoration of a state of affairs that should en able the German Bund 'to defend the rights of the Duchy of Holstein, and the ancient relations between that duchy and Schleswig.' " On the other band, the Stadthalterschaft was threatened in case of refusal with an occupation of the country by au Executions Corps, consisting of 25,000 Austrians and 25,000 Prussians. Three days were al lowed to the Government for its decision, from the Gth till 2 P.M. of the 9JI; the period being, on after applica tion, extended till 2 P.M. Of the 1 lth. " The negotiations and deliberations of the 7th and Bth left it in doubt whether the pouvoirs of the Commissaries could be considered as formally find legally conveying a tight to act in the name of all the German Governments, and it was believed that a court of law would have de cided that their powers were not valid. But the ques tion was now not one of legality or right, but of force. "It was ;:Ise elicited that with respect to the terms demanded by the Commissaries, and the manner of ful filling m, no distinct or sufficietA guarantees could or would he given. It was conceded, indeed, that when the troops were withdrawn to the south of the Eyder the fortresses of Renthiburg and Frederichsert should con tioue to be held by the Duchies; and the mode in which the army was to be reduced should be left to the discre tion of the Go vernmen t. On many other important questions either n o answ ers, or very unsatisfactory Ones, could be given ; they were reserved for negotiations with the German Bund, of which the basis was stated to be the status quo ante. helium. It was declared indispen sable that the Chamber should be set aside, as it con stated of Schleswig and Holstein deputies together, and could not be recognized by the Bund as a legally exist ing body. To the question whether, under all circum stinces, the Executive army would enter the duchy, the answer was that the burden of occupatien could be es caped, if the terms of the German Band were everywhere accepted and complied with. " In the secret evening sitting of the 9th of January the Siadthalterschaft communicated the position of af fairs to the Chamber. A decision bad not been resolved on, as the members of the Stadthalterschaft were di vided as to the course to be pursued. Count Reventlow and the chiefs of the several departments of the Admi nistration were for submitting to the demands of the Commissaries; M. Beseler was for continuing the war, and proposed en immediate vote of money to carry it on. Both explained their views verbally to the Chamber. M. Beseler also laid on the table a written memorial. ' Count Reventlow answered the question, whether a continuation of the war was advisable, by a decided ne gative. His reasons were, chiefly, the position of the Duchy with regard to Germany. Whoever resists the German Governments by force of arms cannot be con id, red as any longer defending a German cause.' The promise of the great Powers to restore the status quo ante was dwelt upon. The Duchies had dezired no more. A continuation of the war was no longer passible; it would lead, not to a preservation of the rights of the duchy, but to their destruction. "M. Von Fraucke expressed the same views as Count Reventiow. " M. Beseler, on th© other hand, supported his advo cacy of resistance on the imperfect and informal pouvoirs of the Commissari.s, who were not to he regarded as plenipotentiaries of Germany. The political circum stauces of the time also presented many chances. The inevitable fatal consequences of a subjection to the de mands of the Commissaries bound them by Dirins and human 1:448'S to resistance.' " Both the Stadthalters left the decision to the Chamber. " The Chamber the same evening chose a Committee consisting of the following members:—The Duke of Augustenburg, MM. Schmidt, Olshausen, lock, Bale mann, Semper, Versman, Barbell, and Dr. Giilich. All the documents were laid before this Committee, which met on the morning of the 10th and sat throughout the day. In the secret sitting of the Chamber held on the evening of the 10th it gave in its report. The Com mittee was divided, the minority consisting of the three deputies of the Left—M. Olshausen, Dr. Giilich, and M. lock. The majority decided in favour of Count Reventiow's proposition for submitting to the terms of Austria and Prussia. The minority were for dismissing the Commissaries, on the ground of defective and invalid pouvoirs, and for resisting the measures of the Executive troops by force. " The resolution drawn up by the Committee, and ,übscquently, with slight alterations, agreed to by the Chamber, was as folows:— " The majority of the Committee proposes that the Chamber resolve, with regard to the communication made to it by the Government of the terms of the Aus train and Prussian Commissiaries _ " 1. That the Chamber of the Duchy &greets with the course suggested by the Ministry. "2. That the Chamber wi'he . •s and expects the Stadt halterschaft will endeavour to assert and promote the rights and interests of the Duchies in the measures to be taken to establish an interim state of affairs in the name of the German Band by the Commissaries of Prussia and Austria. 3. That the Chamber expressly defends the rights of the land, collectively and severally, against any violation or the establishment of a definitive state of affairs. "4. That it empowers the presidency to publish this reservation as it may think fit. " The resolution recommended by authority was, that the Chamber should declare to the Stadthalterschaft that it did not approve of the policy suggested in the secret sitting of the 9th. _ _ " That it does not agree to the proposition for accept ing the terms of the Prussian and Austrian Commis saries, but would rather make the necessary preparations to meet the threatened measures of force by a decided resistance. It will be seen that the resolutions of the majority and the minority differed radically from each other; one was for submission, ihe other for resistance. " The discussion lasted the whole Right, until the morning of the 11th, the day on which the period al lowed for consideration expired. The consciousness chat the question was one of vital importance to the Duchies had visibly affected many of the deputies. Voices trembled that were usually clear and firm. It was a mournful debate. The result, after the decision in the Committee, was to be foreseen; the deputies of the Left spoke in vain in favour ef a continued resistance; they recounted in vain all the chances of success presented by the political state of Europe, all the ruinous conse quences of a submission —consequences which could be already seen. They stated that honour and duty forbade a surrender at discretion, while there was a courageous army of 40,000 men in the field, while the enemy was still 200 miles off, and only threatened that he would come. They implored the Chamber not to be too hasty, or to lay down its arms too soon. The Schleswig de puties were in vain called upon in particular to vote against the resolution cf the majority. It only had the result of producing from them a protest against a vote for submission to the terms of the Commissaries being considered a violation of their duty. " The reporter of the Committee (Schmidt), the Duke of Angustenburg, M. Francke, M. Stein, the Pre sident of the Chamber (M. Hargurn), and M. Luders, all spoke more or less strongly tor the acceptance, and against resistance, which they declared to be impossible I from the depressed spirit of the people and the army, and of the German nation generally—impossible from the difficulty of defending themselves against an attack both from the north and south; impossible from the su perior force of the great Powers. They held the con sequences of a submission not to be so dangerous as the minority supposed, and still retained more or less confi dence in Prussia and the German Bund; and, in addi tion, the conviction that nothing was left but a submis sio❑ existed in the ranks of the Opposition itself. M. Claussen said no great revolutionary movement could proceed from the Duchies, but from Paris only. The Duchies would only sacrifice themselves uselessly by re sistine. Since the Frankfort movement failed, in 1849, he was hopeless of any political action from the Ger man people. Many other members of the Left shared his opinion, as the division list proved. "At half-past five o'clock on the morning of the 11th the division took place. The first and principal ques tion was, whether the Chamber declared its approval of the acceptation of the terms of the Commissaries. It was affirmed by 47 votes against 28, and the resolution of M. Beseler and the minority fell to the ground. " The Chamber separated in silence; one aged de puty only (as the members left) uttered the words `Finis Poionice.'" JANUARY 18, 1851. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin of the 12th states that the Father Procurator of the convent of Carthusians at Colligno has just absconded with a sum of 90,000 f. The police have been hitherto unsuccessful in their attempts to di3cover his retreat. IRELAND. DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING,—The Mail of this evening announces the death of the Marquis of Hastings, which sad event took place in Dawson-street this morning, at two o'clock. The Noble Marquis had recently met with a severe accident at Liverpool, from the effects of which he never rallied. His Lordship was in his 19th year, and was an ensign in the 52d Regiment. The Marchioness of Hastings arrive last night trom Leices tershire, a few hours before death closed the eyes of her son. By the demise of the Noble Marquis the title becomes extinct. SALES OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES. Six properties were set up for sale to-day before the Commi.ssioners, the majority c f which found purchasers. The tone of the market was much more buoyant than it was on Tuesday last, and prices were much bettor. The estates were situate in the counties of Westmeath, Long ford, Mayo, Galway, Louth, Meatb, and Roscommon. DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF NORTHAMPTON. It is with much regret that we announce the decease of the Marquis of Northampton, intelligence of whose unexpected death reached town last evening. He ex ,. pired yesterday morning at Castle Ashby, the ancient family seat, in Northamptorshire. Tho recent death of his soe-in-law, Viscount Alford, M.P., proved a great shock to a naturally sensitive temperament, and he was advised to repair to Castle Ashby, from Aebridge-park, where Viscount Alford died, and to abstain from at tending the funeral on Monday last. The Marquis adopted this advice, but, though since his return his health has been on the d ec li ne , no ser i ous ap prehensions were entertained. A change, however, took place for the worse at an early hour yesterday morning, and shortly afterwards his Lordship expired. The late Spencer Joshua Alwyne Compton, Marquis and Earl of the county of Northampton, Earl Compton, of Compton, county of Warwick, and Baron Wilmington, of Wilmington, county of Sussex, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was second son of Charles, first Mar quis of Northampton, and Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. Joshua Smith, of Erlstoke-park, Wilts. He was born 2d of January, 1790, and consequently completed his 60th year on the 2d of the present month. On the 24th of July, 1815, he married Margaret, eldest daughter of Major-General Douglas Maclean Clephane, and by that highly-accomplished lady, who died at Rome the 2d of April, 1830, ho leaves a family of four sons and two daughters, namely, the Earl Compton (now the llarquis of Northampton) and Lords William, Alwyne, and Spencer Compton ;C:Lady Marianne Alford and Lady Margaret Compton. The late Marquis received his edu cation at the University of Cambridge. For a short pe riod ho sat in the Hous e of Commons for his native county, but being defeated at tho next election he was never inducedagain to enter on the field of politics. In 1838 his late Royal Ilieliness the Duke of Sussex re signed the presid ecc y o f the Royal Society, when the Fellows of that learned body immediately elected the Marquis of Northampton as the successor to the Royal Duke. We need hardly bear testimony of the hospitality, unostentatious bearing, and general courtesy with whi c h the late Marquis discharged all the duties of that emi nent position for eleven years. The Noble Marquis is suace , ded in his titles end estates by his eldest son, Charles Douglas Compton, 1;11.1 Compton, born May 25, 1816. All the members of his family were with him at his aemise, except Lord . Spencer Compton, doing d u ty with his regiment in India.
