1 ki ' a nd a display of quite an unusual .kind. The Courrit' Pumenis; the Journal du Commerce, and the Corsair , wer e seized at the sante time. The other journals, th , Tribune, the Quotidienne, the Courtier de l'Europc, an , the Brid'oison have not appeared this morning, becaus• during •the night authority took measures to prevent their Publication. We learn that the three last-mentionea journals, which like us supposed they enjoyed the libert' of th e press, have besides received this evening the intima ting that they must not appear to-morrow. All thee , seizures, evidently adopted with the systematic purpose ti prevent the departments from receiving any other impres skins than those which result from the official statements, [ do not permit us to make independent reflections on what has passed. To make known even the facts to our readers. We shall be obliged to wait until the Government journal- Publish them. All we can say is, that the discharges of musketry and the effusion of blood ceased at five o'clock this evening. A meeting of Deputies took place yesterday, at M. Laffitte'e. These Deputies appointed MM. Laffitte, Argo, and Orlillon Barrot, to go to the King. These Hon. Members we are assured, have had a long conference with his Majesty on the subject of the deplorable events which have stained the capital with blood, and on the means of preventing their return.—(Note communicated.) The Messager announces, that an order of arrest has been issued against 11. Armand Carrel, editor in chief of the National. Independently of there being no motive for such a proceeding, we have as yet no reason to believe that it has been adopted. (From the Constitutionnel. The number of persons arrested yesterday and to-day ..., is said to be 1,600. There are now at least 40,000 troops of the line in Paris. To the Generals already known as commanding. corps there must be added,—Lieutenant- General Cavaig naer commanding the brigade formed of the Ist and 2d Carabineers ; Camp-Marshal St. Simon, commanding the Ist and 9th Cuirasseurs ; General Tiburce Srbastiani, commanding the 3d and 14th Light Dragoons, and 42d of the line. The prisoners who were confined provisionally in the Mayoralty of the 3d Arrondissement were removed by de tachments of the 2d Legion, and conveyed to the square of the Palais Royal. The prisoners were placed in the midst of cslumna of six rows, and, consequently, bad each three National Guards on the right, and three on the left. At the entrance of the rue de St. Thomas-du-Louvre, they were made to defile one by one between a double line of Municipal Guards, and placed four at a time in hackney coaches, each of which drove off escorted by a piquet of dragoons. A great number of coaches were thus filled. Among the persona thus arrested is M. Henri Simon, one of the Editors of the Quotidienne. PARIS, Thursday, One o'clock, p. m. Last night there was a brilliant and numerous reception at the Palace of the Tuileries, at which many high per sonages were remarked who had not appeared at Court for some time. THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN PARIS. (LATUT PARTICULARS.) Paris is tranquil. We have visited this morning the rue St. Martin and the Cloiture St. Mery, and we find that it was not in the church itself that the insurgents fixed their head - quarters, after being driven from their grand barri cade in the Marche des Innocens, but in the house of No. 30, rue St. Martin, which is opposite to the rue Aubry le Boucher. We also learn that the successful attack on this position was directed by General Tiburce Sebastiani, arid not by Marshal Soult. The barricades throughout that quarter appear to have been very numerous ; and in some cases, particularly in the rue St. Mery and the rue de la Yerrerie, to have been taken with considerable dif ficulty. During the King's progress through Paris he frequently Met litters with wounded men in them, on which he i t oPp d, addressed some words of consolation to them, and directed their names and addresses to be taken down. At the Chateau d'Eatt in particular, a National Guard who had been wounded in the foot was stretched on a mattress. " Sire," said be, " I have just been fighting for my coun try, for liberty, and for my King. I have several chil dren, whom I recommend to you."--" I adopt them" was the reply of Louis-Philippe. It is said that 1,500 ex- Gerdes du Corps and ca-officers of the Royal Guard were organised in Paris, and that a c onsiderable number have been arrested. M. Henri Simon, one of the editors of the Quotidienne, is also in custody. It is reported that a warrant has been issued against M. Gamier Pages, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. It is also said that, in the house of one of the individuals f arrested, assignats, secured upon the proceeds of future na tiond property, were found ready prepared. An attack made on the powJer-magazine at Ivry was repulsed without difficulty; two cannon-shots were suffi cient to disperse the assailants. The following anecdote, which is given on the authority o f M. Louis Dufour, a National Guard of the 4th Legion, who is ready to repeat his deposition before the tribunals, sPPears strongly to confirm the statement of the first ag gression having been on the part of the insurgents. A few moments after the first discharge of fire-arms, in W hich is stated that a a Colonel, Lieut.-Colonel, and Chef d'Eseadron of Dragoons, were wounded, and a detachment of the same regiment was advancing slowly, when at the end of the Il e L ouv i ers , t h ey met a group o f 50 or 60 in dividuals, composed partly of well-dressed young men, and Partly of men in blouses, all armed with pistols or blud „ge2l:w. Th e d ragoons h a l te d, an d at t h e same moment "or 30 pistol-shots were fired at them. They remained quiet, without returning the fire. Emboldened by this for bearance, the young men approached, crying "Surrender!" Gentlemen," replied the Commander, " we have been di rected to take up our position here; we shall preserve an entire neutrality ; but we remain." The young Men thr eatene d to renew the fire. At this moment a National G uar d , wearing the cross of July and the decora tion of the Legion of Honour, rushed before the young 'lwo, entreating them not to fire. The Commander of the dragoons exclaimed, " Look at the decorations of this citizen—be is a National Guard ; listen to his counsels." In th e mean time 30 or 40 individuals, armed with mus kets, joined the group, and the young men, rendered more insolent, ordered the dragoons to retire or surrender. The National Guard, in order to prevent a conflict, entreated , the Commander to order hi s so ldi ers to sheath their I , ' sabres, hoping that this would calm the irritation ; the I request w as com pli e d w i t h ; t h e young men, however, were not satisfied, and again threatened to fire—on which the National Guard threw himself before them, saying -" You are not strong enough to do any thing; you will only get yourselves massacred ; fire rather upon me; here are my two crosses, fire upon them." The young men then retreated behind a barricade, formed by three wag gons overturned, and presented their pieces at the National Guard, exclaiming "He is a Carlist." Some others, however., prevented their firing, and said that it would be sufficient to secure him ; they then rushed upon him, and tor e from him his sabre and his Cross of July. The Cross of the Legion of Ho lour they left untouched. It was just after WS epised: that the general engagement recom reenced. ° SPIRIT OF THE PARISIAN JOUR th N i A nd L i S Le Journal des, bebats animadverts w 0 0 th e con d uc t o f t h e o pp os iti on press, appearinggOation in to de fend rebellion and sedition by treating the recent disturb ances as political demonstrations, and comparing them to t he revolution of July. It points out the difference be tween the latter. in which the whole mass of prop proprietors and citizen s of all ranks rose simultaneously to punish ar bitrary power, and the former, in which the same pro prietors and citizens were equally united to repel the sedi• tiuus attacks of those whose object was political brigandage and anarchy. " Revolution," it says, " being a necessary r eaction l ong d elayed, a national reprisal for violated rights commands success, hut politi ca l consp i rac i es a li mente d b y jfiction only invariahly f a il . The two epochs may be udged by their results." Le Temp s says that, if the Republicans had succeeded, its task would have been to defend social order, menaced by suck lib an event, b ut that as they are conquered, it is liberty which is in danger. It then cautions Government against being intoxicated with triumph, and strongly urges that themoment of success ought to be the moment of clemency, and concession to the just demands of the people. It argues that the reported intention of placing Paris under martial law is unnecessary, since Government has shown by its proceedings towards several Journals, and its cannonading in the streets without quarter, that it Well knows how to take extra.legal measures, without even waiting for an ordinance to authorize them. ./.e Journal du Commerce says that it cannot imagine why it has been seized, as it only asserted what it is pre pared to repeat, that violence on the part of the troops war unnece,saiy, and if any emblems of 1793 were exhi bited, they were rendered harmless by the contempt and r eprobation of tl,e whole populace. tailin La 7'rib une Published a single page of its journal, de g the particulars of the seizure of the presses, and the arrest and subsequent liberation of its editors, after two hours' confinement. It declares its intention of taking im alediate proceedings before the tribunals against M. Gis 'Net and the Commissaries of Police concerned in the "iture. ---- LeC ourrier de l'E urope also publishes half a sheet j . ' I Y, and announces si:nilar intentions, tL 4eNationel and Le Courrier Francais s ay , t h at unt i l q know how far the , liberty of the press is, or is not, in •xiatence, they shall not only abstain from any comment•, hut shall not even relate any facts, except such as the copy from other journals. Accordingly they merely give relative to the affairs of Park, a few extracts from tb, evening papers. La6azelte de France deprecates violence, but repeat, that the convoking of General Assemblies is the only re medy for the evils of France. LATEST NEWS FRONI LA VENDEE. The Breton of Nantes, of the sth instant, contains the following: —" Every successive account from Bourbon confirms us in the assurance that tranquillity is restored to the department of La Vendee. Yesterday a party ol about 1,000 Chouans was completely dispersed by two companies of the 29th regiment, after an exchange of few shots. It is said that M. Bascher, one of the persons whom General Solignac suffered to go free from the cha teau de Larochefoucault, upon his parole that he would return to his own home, was of the party, and fell pierced by two balls." M. Berryer set out this morning with a passport, ob tained at Paris, and which was vise at Nantes, fen. Aix. in Savoy, where he is going to take the waters. It is said that during his stay at Nantes he paid a visit to the Duchess of Berri, and that he recommended her to aban don her projects, and quit France. The Princess replied that she persisted in her intentions, particularly as she reckoned upon the defection of several regiments. Nearly all the Spanish refugees resident at Tours have addressed to the Prefect of the Indre et Loire a petition to be allowed to march against the Chouans. The Prefect, in his answer, expressed his high sense of the offer, and assured them that he would immediately communicate it to the Government. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times Correspondent.) PARIS, THURSDAY, JUNE 7.—Tranquillity Las by this time been apparently restored ; but it has been pur chased at the price of torrents of blood. It is now quite evident that the insurgents have lost every chance of suc cess, and that a long time must elapse before they are able to rise again. To-day all the shops in Paris were open as usual, and also the Tuileries and Palais Royal Gardens, which had been closed since Tuesday evening, for fear the combatants should choose them as the principal fields of their operations. The military are seen in smaller numbers every where, and the town no longer presents the aspect of one just taken by storm, as it diii yesterday. Most of the National Guards have returned to their private avo cations. I❑ the afternoon edition of Galignanis Messenger of this day, you will find as accurate a statement of what occurred yesterday as any that I have seen. [The statement referred to is given among our extracts from the Paris journals, except the following passage :—] FINE ARTS. THE PENNY WEDDING. This is an engraving, by Stewart, from tlit well known painting, by Wilki e — o ne of tiles( striking productions of genius, which once seen are never forgotten. The engraver has done al' the justice to his task that it was capable of, and wrought out a very pleasing and effective picture All the characteristic touches of the original, with the exception of a few minor ones, which the comparatively limited nature of his occupation, prevents the engraver from pourtraying, are given with extraordinary fidelity. We have little doubt that the work will become speedily popular, for it is one of those familiar, intelligible, and felici tous subjects which come home to the hearts and understandings of all classes. It would show to great advantage in a handsome frame. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. New 5 per Cent. India Stock Ditto Bonds par 1 dig. South Sea Stock 954 Old Annuities New Ditto 3 per Cent. Ann. 1751 Ex.

'We have visited this morning the rue St. Martin and the Cloiture St. Mery, and we find that it was not in the church itself that the insurgents fixed their head-quarters, after being driven from their grand barricade in the Marche des Innocens, but in the house No. 30, rue St. 3lartin, which is opposite to the rue Aubry le Boucher. We also learn that the successful attack on this position was directed by General Tiburce Sebastiani, and not by Marshal Soult. The barricades throughout that quarter appear to have been very numerous; and in some cases, particularly in the rue St. Mery and the rue de la Verrerie, to have been taken with considerable difficulty. " It is said that 1,500 ex-Gardes du Corps and ex officers of the Royal Guard were organized in Paris, and that a considerable number have been arrested. M. Henri Simon, one of the Editors of the Quotidienne, is also in custody. " It is reported that a warrant has been issued against M. Garnier Pages, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. " It is also said, that in the house of one of the indivi duals arrested, assigoats, secured upon the proceeds of future national property, were found ready prepared. " An attack made on the powder-magazine at Ivry was repulsed without difficulty ; two cannon-shot were suffi cient to disperse the assailants. " A number of the Deputies now in Paris have held several meetings at the residence of M. Laffitte, and a depu tation, consisting of Messrs. Laffitte, Odilon Barrot, and Arago, was yesterday appointed to wait on the King, and confer with him on the state of the country : we have not beard any thing as to the nature or result of the interview." The inhabitants of Paris were greatly surprised this morning on finding a Royal Ordinance in the Moniteur, placing the capital under martial law. This measure ap pears to have excited very general discontent, as, besides its questionable legality, the events of yesterday had shown quite clearly that there could be no necessity wh itever for a recourse to any such severe means of re pression. There appears to be no law which gives to the Government so immense a power as that of suspending all the laws, and substituting arbitrary rule. Such an authority can only be delegated for a given time by the Legislature, which, if not sitting, should be convoked for that special purpose. The real motive of the Government for assuming such extraordinary powers, is that of keeping down the press, and preventing any accounts from reach. ing the departments but those which may have its ap probation. I fear that the liberty of the Press is on the eve of receiving a fatal blow in this country. The Government, which has sprung from the barricades of 1830, and which owes its existence to the Press and the people, has dared to accomplish that which Charles X. lost his crown in attempting. Its agents of the police, during the night of the Tuesday, have literally executed the famous ordinance of the 25th of July, by forcibly en tering theoffiesof the Quotidienne, Tribune, and Courrier de P.Europe, scattering about the types which were under preparation for the publication of those journals, breaking their frames, putting the Government seal on the presses, forbiding their appearance until the further pleasure of the Government was made known, and taking into custody persons attached to those journals, among whom is M. Sarrut, the editor of the Tribune, and M. Simon, one of the editors of the Quotidienne. . The Moniteur also gives Royal Ordinances, by which the Polytechnic School and the Veterinary School of Al fort are suppressed, and the corps of artillery belonging to the National Guard of Paris is dissolved. There is like wise an ordinance depriving one of the mayors of Paris of his office. These measures have been resolved upon in con sequence of the sympathy very decidedly evinced by the persons whom they concern, in favour of the popular or republican cause. The more I hear of the incident that brought about, on Tuesday evening, the explosion which has led to such de plorable results, the more I am confirmed in the belief that the first provocation was given by the Government troops. All impartial persons who witnessed the origin of the affray declare that the regiment of cuirassiers stationed near the Place de la Bastille charged the people without the least necessity. A stone thrown by some one among the crowd —whether intentionally or accidentally it is impossible to learn—struck one of the cuirassiers, and knocked him off his horse. It was in consequence of this that the whole squadron immediately charged the people, firing upon them, and then cutting them down without distinction. All the opposition papers were yesterday seized at the post office, and most probably will again be so to-day. It is a very remarkable fact, that from that moment the disturbances began until they ceased, not the slightest attempt was made by any of the people on private pro perty of any kind. Even the private gunsmiths' and am munition shops were respected. Those belonging to the Government experienced, of course, a different treatment. The National Guards who fought yesterday were those of the vicinity of Paris, who are supposed not to enter tain a very cordial feeling towards the inhabitants of the capital. The funds have recovered today from the trifling de pression which they underwent yesterday. The specula tors seem to think all the danger is past. Half-past Four, p.m. Important intelligence has been received this afternoon from the western districts. A general rise is said to have taken place in La Vendee, and it is added, though this is not equally sure, that the town of L'Orient has fallen into the hands of the Chouans. The particulars are not yet known, nor will the news be published if the Government is able to prevent it. Meanwhile you may rely on the cor rectness of this information, so far as it goes. It comes from an authentic source. The Duchess de Berri was still in safety on Saturday. l am assured that some of he; friends here have accounts from her, bearing the date of that day. I have just heard that M. de Chateaubriand has been arrested. Z.

The insurrection at Paris is by this time completely at an end. The insurgents have been routed at all points, not, however, without great carnage and considerable difficulty, and LOUIS-PHILIPPE is for the moment triumphant. The capital, however, notwithstanding his bloody successes, is formally declared to be in a state of siege—a phrase of ominous import, and which would seem to imply that all is not vet settled. But he this as it may, and be the actors in the conspiracy whom they may, ohe point is fixed as fate, clear as the arithmetical calculations of Mr. CROKER, namely, that the Citizen KING— so called, we presume, from his close resemblance in mind and person to a fat London Alderman—has by his recent show of energy, triumphed less over his enemies than himself. He can now no longer beard public opinion with impunity. He has placed himself in a position from which there is no retreating, except by a surrender, one by one, of all his temporising, anti-national opinions. He must now either fulfil the pledges that he made when raised to the throne, which should never have known him as an occupant, or at once resign his sovereignty, and—the unkindest cut of all, his enormous civil list. The decision is, no doubt, a painful one ; but there is no help for it—it must be made. LOUIS-PHILIPPE must consent to call the movement party to his Councils, and under their banners march with the mind of France, or he must prepare for a still more disagreeable alternative. These are no times for Kings to trifle with. The people are sick to death of the stale old Royal game of Fast-and-loose. They will have a man, not a driveller at their head ; one who knows how to say " Yes" in proper season— or they will take the matter into their own hands. For the present, we repeat, the disturbances at Paris are at an end. Now, therefore, comes the question, what is to be done with the prisoners ? This is a ticklish point, and one which will require all Louis- PHILIPPE'S sagacity to settle. It is evi dent that he cannot, with common decency, act with rigour towards them, that is to say, he cannot condemn them to the scaffold, when he calls to mind the extraordinary pains he took to spare the far more guilty POLIGNAC and his abandoned fraternity. If the conspirators of 1832 deserve death, so did those of 1830. If the former are to be made a terrible example of, so also, to the very same extent, should be the latter. Besides, with what justice can Louis- PIIILLIPE wage a war of extermination against the Parisian conspirators, whe ther Carlist, Republican, or Buonapartist, when he allows the chief offender to escape ? There is little doubt, we believe,that the Duchess de BERRI and her besotted adherents have had a considerable share in exciting the late explo sion in the French capital, and yet, notwithstand ing this audacious outrage, she is still left at large—still traverses the country, stirring up dis affection wherever she moves—unharmed, un touched, as if she were virtually the Regent of France ! The provincial, as well as the metropolitan gen darmeries, are notorious for their dexterity in running down persons obnoxious to Government, yet strange to say, on this occasion, which one would suppose would call forth all their keenest faculties, they have confined their ingenuity to imprisoning minor offenders, while they have allowed the most public and conspicuous culprit of all to evade them ! The question, " What is to be done with the Parisian conspirators ?" will, we clearly foresee, be the occasion of considerable embarrassment to Louts-PHIEEIPPE. It would puzzle the saga city of even a NAPOLEON ; how, then, must it discompose the stinted thinking faculties of the Citizen King ? A messenger left town this morning, from Downing-street, for East Sheen, the seat of Earl GREY, and returned about one o'clock, stating that the Noble:Premier was still very indisposed. The Report of the Reform Committee pre sented to the Common Council yesterday, will meet with the approbation of the country. It recommends the postponement of the great day of rejoicing till the three Bills become the law of the land—till the Scotch and Irish, who }lace so nobly supported the English in the great contest, can mingle their joyful acclamations with their brethren of England. The three countries have fought as one man—let them celebrate the victory on the same day, and thus bind faster these bonds of unity which have so often led our fleets and armies to victory, and which ii the course of the last month have raised th , country to a prouder eminence than any she ever enjoyed. The electors of West minster have postponed their triumph t 1 the 27th, the proclamation of WILLIAM IV. We should have preferred the previous day, be cause it is the anniversary of his accession to th( throne, because we trust that before that day hi , MAJESTY will afford his people an opportunity of testifying how anxious they are to forget the past, and show that, though obscured by foul means, their loyalty is still as bright as ever. The conduct of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is such as we expected. It will be seen that a petition was presented to the House of Commons last night from that en lightened body, approving of the Government plan of education in Ireland ; but, at the same time, declaring it to be the right of all Protest ants to have access to the whole Scriptures. The latter clause is in perfect accordance with the plan, and none but the enemies of toleration and the political enemies of the Government thought otherwise. Indeed we may say, none but the bigot, blinded by religious antipathy, could suppose for a mo ment that Government had any other intentions. All the rest were stirred up by political hatred. That assembly, though abounding in Tory mem bers, is both liberal and religious, and has too high a sense of honour and justice to throw any obstruction in the way of education from mere party feelings. The Honour able Member for the rotten borough of Dundalk, aays the assembly was deceived. He would yet prove it. GOD help his ignorant presumption ! There is no use in reasoning with certain persons, but we merely ask whether a body of about 250 well educated persons, who had discussed the question in their different Presbyteries, and given their attention to it for the last two months, are as likely to be deceived as an individual who had spent his youth on board a man-of-war, and who has been known since only for his exhibitions at field-preachings, and his hatred of religious toleratidh. Well might the Gallant Officer take refuge in such a place as Dundalk ; for in his native country he will find no congenial spirits. The people of Scot land hate Popery ; but that hatred is mixed with a feeling of sympathy for the errors of others, with an anxious desire for the universal diffusion of education as the only means of ex tinguishing bigotry and superstition. We have received several communications from Newspaper Proprietors in Scotland, and, among others, more especially from the Inver ness Journal and the Scots Times, complaining of gross errors in the Parliamentary paper pub lished respecting " Newspaper Stamps, Scot land." All we can say is, that the errors are entirely attributable to the Stamp-office, Edinburgh, a certified copy of the Parlia mentary return published, being signed by THOMAS PENDER, Comptroller. We have again carefully compared the Parliamentary re turn with the copy in The Sun, and they both agree. The parties aggrieved had therefore better apply to the Stamp-office, Edinburgh, to make a more correct return, which we shall have great pleasure in publishing. German Papers contain the following account of the state of affairs in Egypt. Public feeling in Germany is daily becoming more ominous to the despots : Ar.ExiNnata, Aram 16.—1 have just arrived from Cairo, and hearing that a ship is to sail to-morrow for Marseilles, I hasten to send yon a few words on the pre sent state of Egyptian polities. I left Cairo in a most melancholy situation; for some weeks several persons have been beheaded daily, and this merely on the information of miserable spies, who make a trade of it. Nobody ventures to open his shop, because every moment such people come and demand money, threatening to denounce them to Chabib Effendi, the Minister of the Interior, who, without further inquiry, signs the sentence of death. It is forbidden, under pain of death, to utter the following words :—Constantinople, Sultan, Syria, Acre, Ibrahim Pacha, Abdalha Pacha, &c. All who bore any of these names changed them. A man returning home one evening, and not being able to open the house door, said angrily, " I have you secure like the gates of Acre." Half an hour afterwards he was imprisoned, and beheaded the following morning. Another cried Syrian onions, which are of a better quality; he too was exe cuted. These cruelties excited indeed a violent fermenta tion among the people, but led to no disturbance; and it is not likely that there will be any explosion of the popular discontent till a part of the troops become unfaithful to the Pacha, or the army in Syria is defeated. Acrc is not taken, and Ibraham has given the idea of taking it by force, after the failure of several attempts. The place is invested by sea and land, and Ibraham with part of his army is gone to the north of Syria, to engage the several Pachas who have been ordered by the Sultan to unite against him. A bulletin, stating the defeat of Osman Pacha, has been communicated to the Consuls. This bulle tin has been already published.) The bulletin itself shows that hitherto there has not been much good news to an nounce, and nobody doubts of an unfavourable issue for our Pacha, when a regul a army with the Sultan in per son shall arrive in Syria.

We are indebted for the following information, as well as part of the foregoing, to the kind politeness of Mr. Bur bidge, who is anxious to communicate to the public all the information respecting this awful occurrence, which is consistent with the ends of public justice ; and though part of the confession is necessarily concealed, it is only with the view of preventing the innocent from being stig matised under mere conjecture. The prisoner in confession says,---I am guilty of having caused the death of the unfortunate man, but my con science is not stained with the crime of cool and delibe rate murder. Mr. Paas called upon me one morning, but whether on Wednesday or Thursday, from the agitation of my mind, I ern unable to recollect, with two bills against me, one of which I paid, amounting to 12s. and wished him to call in the evening when I would pay him part of the other. Mr. Paas came, but not being able to fulfil my promise, angry words ensued, and Mr. Paas striking me, I struck him again, and a scuffle ensued ; he threw the hammer at me, and I concluded the affray by an un fortunate blow with the press bar on the back of his neck ; he fell dead instantly. I will say no more of the remain ing part of the body except that it is buried. The Magistrates advised him not to criminate himself by any lengthened confession ; but if, from any motive of unburdening hi s consc i ence, or o f a ll a yi ng th e i ntense anxiety of th e surv i v i ng fr i ends of t h e d ecease d, or a de sire to relieve those labouring under unjust accusation, he he would state any circumstances connected with the con cealment of the body, they would take down what he had to say ; upon his consenting to give it consideration, the examination was concluded. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY. IN RE EAGSTER ,ILLAS NEWTON, A SUPPOSED LUNATI Sir EDWARD SuGoan replied upon his application fi• a Commission of Lunacy at considerable length. It wool be a disgrace to the bar (in his opinion), for him to argu the question, whether there was not sufficient evident. before his Lordship to satisfy him that a Commissio. ought to issue; the only point was, whether under th. circumstances his Lordship ought to suspend the exercise of his jurisdiction ; and the very ground on which th other side had asked for that suspension, was a strong rea son in favour of hastening the issuing of the Commission. The proceedings in the Court of King's Bench were irre gular, without precedent, and had only been resorted to for the purpose of protecting the person of this unfortunat. girl from Mr. Newton. Provided even the Court rd Law should find that the marriage was valid, stil it would be utterly impossible for his Lordship t. withhold granting a Commission. The girl was perfectly incapable of the disposition of her per son or her property, and the consequences of allowini , Mr. Newton to regain possession of her person, would ht so awful, so disgusting, so distressing, and so ruinous it their effects, that it would be impossible for his Lordship to withhold the exercise of his jurisdiction. There was not a doubt that the female was insane; the husband (if husband he could be called) had abused the confi dence of the family, kept his intentions of a suitor (i ever he had any) an entire secret from the whole world. procured a professional person of the name of Wilson to sanction his atrocious act of carrying off the girl, the object of which could only have been to get possession of her money, and it would be impossible for his Lordship to act otherwise than for ever to deprive Mr. Newton from having the custody of the woman again, or ever having one far thing of her money which could possibly be kept from him. The LORD CIiANCELLOR, considering that the girl was in the custody of Mr. Alderman Kelly, at present did not think that his delaying judgment for a few days could be productive of any inconvenience. He would give the case his utmost attention, and dispose of it as soon as he could. The first consideration that occurred to his mind was, whether he ought not to delay giving judgment until the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice and a special Jury had been obtained upon the question in the Court of King's Bench ; but this could not be got, from the state of business there, till next spring. Again, even if that course were determined upon, it would almost be absolutely necessary to have Mrs. Newton produced be fore the Jury, but it would be impossible for this Court to order such a production before a commission had issued. Finally, whether the issuing of a commission from this Court, to be executed before a Judge and two Commis sioners, would not relieve all parties, and all Courts, from further difficulties and proceedings ; as, in all probability the Court of King's Bench would adopt the result of such a proceeding from this Court, and:upon it dispose of all questions before it. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice PATTESON sat in this Court to receive jus tification of bail, and afterwards took common motions. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY. Their Lordships were occupied this morning in hearing arguments on cases from the Courts of Quarter Sessions, chiefly relative to the settlement of paupers. PREPARATIONS FOR CELEBRATING THE PASSING OF THE REFORM BILL. Preparations upon an extensive scale have already com menced for the public celebration of the passing of the Reform Bill. The fete is to commence on Friday next, the anniversary of the day on which King John signed Magna Charta, and continue the following day and Mon day. The Burlington Arcade is to be fitted up as a ball. room, for which purpose the pavement will be covered over with Indian matting. Mr. Herbert, the builder, has subscribed 1001. towards defraying the expenses, and the residue is to be made up by the inhabitants, who will have the privilege of disposing of tickets of admission, of which 800 will be issued. A Military and Quadrille Band have been already engaged, as also have two professor. of dancing, to act as Masters of the Ceremonies. Two of the houses in the Arcade are to be fitted up as saloons for re freshments, which will be supplied by Mr. Clapham, of the Strand. The Lord Mayor will entertain the whole of the Ca binet Ministers, and Members of the House, at the Man sion -house, which will be splendidly illuminated at night, Saville-house, in Leicester-square, will be very splen didly illuminated, and a grand display of fireworks will take place within the railings of the square, under the di rection of Southby, the artist. Another exhibition will also take place in Hyde Park, by the same artist. Birmingham will be splendidly illuminated on Monday night next, and the rejoicings will continue the whole of the week...—Morning Chronicle. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. Extract of a letter from Tampico, dated 12th April : " The conductors from the interior are stopped for the present ; it may be said none will come for two months. None of the other states have yet declared for Santa Anna except Tamaulipas ; of course, we are outlawed by the Government. But Ministers must soon give up, as public opinion is too strong against them. Every thing hitherto has been conducted with the greatest propriety. There has been no fighting at this place. Property will be re spected. Business is at a stand." Montreal Papers to the 11th May, and Quebec to the 10th May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Montreal Papers do not contain any news of con sequence. The Quebec Papers state, that it is now the 9th of May, and no sowing has as yet been done : the snow still lies along the fences and in the woods, about two feet deep. The express from Paris this morning confirms what we stated in our City article of yesterday,—that the barri cades which refused to surrender to the King's troops would in a few hours be in their possessiou, and it was expected that the riots by that time had terminated. In consequence of Paris being again tranquil, and the King's authority fully established, the French Funds have improvcd to 68f. 85c., ex. dividend. Our Funds this morning maintain their price: Consols opened at 85i ; at present they are 851 to I, with little doing. In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. At present we do not hear of any later accounts than those published in the morning from Paris, in town; the blood shedding in that capital being over, and the Go vernment masters of the field of battle, the information will not be of that importance as previously received. Still we are anxious for news from other parts of France, La Vendee, and the South, as the affairs of the capital might be a combined movement, but the loyalty of the National Guards and troops of the line of Paris, will no doubt animate those in the various departments, and they will follow the same example and act with the greatest vigour. Psris being put in a state of siege, numerous domiciliary visits will take place, with a view to find out the instigators of the seditious movements, and no doubt the papers will be filled with numerous Ordinances of the King. It will be difficult to ascertain the number of killed and wounded in the late affairs, as numbers are said to have been thrown into the Seine. The Consol Market remains STM ; in the early part of the morning they were done at 85 to lA ; since which the Market has recovered, and may be quoted at present at 85% A. Some business has been doing, but not to any considerable extent. In the Foreign Market most of the Securities have improved. _ _ THREE O'CLOCK. Como!, for account 85i.: SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our journal again teems with the details of the war in Paris. The capital has been de clared in a state of siege,—churches carried by storm,—battles fought in street after street. Let us, however, before we go one step further, ex alain our own views. We wish, then, our country to understand us thoroughly. We are not with the Republican party, most of whom ire the refuse of the tyrant Btionaparte in France. We know that they hate England, and we hate them. We despise the legitimates also, for uniting with them, as much as we despise the mean and haughty Tories of this country for uniting, as they would do, and as they began to do, with the lowest radicals, in order to over throw a constitutional Reform. With this ex planation we may proceed. We think the Go vernment of Louis-Philippe hasgrossly erred ; hut we believe that it has erred from no disposition to subvert or impede the constitutional rights of Frenchmen. It has been weak, vacillating, tem porizing, between two factions ; but its intentions, we believe, have been such as the best friends of the constitution would applaud, much as they may lament or even despise the weakness in executing them. NA e wish, therefore, that the constitutional party may prevail, and we think that after some concessions made in a frank spirit, it will prevail. In the first place, none of the troops of the line have yet displayed any symptoms of disaffection to the Crown. They have exerted themselves in their efforts to put down this furious and formidable insurrection. The National Guard have shown a natural re luctance to fight against their fellow-citizens ; yet even the National Guard have fought, in many instances, by the side of the regular army, and there is, that we can see, no one striking in timation of an instance of dereliction on their part, except in the case of the corps of artillery of the National Guard, which is dissolved. A Mayor of an arrondissement is also stripped of his civic honours. But there is no appearance of faltering on the part of the Ki ng or hi s in complete Ministry. lf, indeed, they had shown equal promptitude and vigour in repressing the tumults in the south and west, this catastrophe at Paris would never have occurred. After consi derable delay, they declared four districts of the south and west in a state of siege : without any delay, they pronounced the city of Paris to be in a state of siege, and the tone of the document by which the state of siege is proclaimed is sufficiently resolute. In matters of civil conflict it is impossible to foresee the issue. We have our opinion and our wishes,—the one may be erroneous, and the other disappointed : of this only we are certain, that the quarrels in France, as long as they are confined to France, are French quarrels only ; other Governments have nothing to do with them, but to regret their existence, and desire their termination. Our earnest prayer is, that the result may be, not that which such conflicts too frequently induce, the destruction of liberty, but the consolidation of just and constitutional rights,—not the dis turbance of the peace of Europe, but the esta blishment of a pacific system on a firmer basis than that which now exists.— Times. Since this was written, we have received let ters from Paris of Thursday afternoon, which announce that the sanguinary insurrection which had raged for nearly two days had been put down. It is gratifying to humanity to learn this fact ; but it is lamentable to think, at what an expense of blood the triumph has been gained, and even what sacrifices of liberty the public have yet to apprehend. The Government of Louis-Philippe, instead of adopting—what we had hoped, and still hope they will adopt—a more liberal course towards the malcontents, in order to convince his faithful subjects that their confi dence has not been misplaced, and that their assistance in the late revolt will be repaid by a more ample measure of freedom, has ordered the printing presses of several journals to be ar bitrarily broken, and has declared Paris in a state of siege! It is difficult for us, at this distance, to estimate the policy, or to ascertain the neces sity, of such rigorous measures. And, as we have before stated, we claim no right to interfere with foreign Governments; but this we may say, that though order and peace are excellent bless ings, they may be too dearly purchased, and that if arbitrary regulations are to be enforced, it matters little under what dynasty they are enacted, whether under that of a Bourbon or an Orleans. Our private correspondence of Thursday, and the extracts from the Paris journals which follow it, taken in con nexion with the narratives of the two preceding days, will sufficiently explain the course of the late lamentable transactions. Though appear ances were at first menacing to the very existence of the Government, the result of the struggle has been such as the declarations of the French press, and the present cast of French parties, might have led us to anticipate. It is now quite evi dent that the disturbances began by a kind of accident, however much the combatants had pre viously been prepared for a trial of strength on a proper occasion. The death of General Lamarque was not confidently expected till the day on which it happened. In France there is little time allowed between the death and the interment of the most eminent citizen. There, fore, the revolutionary or anti-revolutionary ii o. tion, the Carlists or the republicans, had not that leizure for forming their schemes which they would have had, had they chosen the celebratio 4 of a patriotic anniversary, or the observance of a ceremony long announced. As soon as the General did die, his partisans lost no time in in viting crowds to his funeral, and in preparing to use his remains as an instrument against exist ing order. Revolutionists of all kinds and de grees—deputations from the different schools in the capital—workmen from the suburbs—foreign exiles from all nations—flocked by concert to his obsequies as to a theatrical exhibi tion. We do not blame the scenic representa, tion, which is consistent with the manners and feelings of our neighbours, —we merely mention it as a reason why the crowd was greater, and consequently why the funeral mourners of the gallant General were nearly commensurate with the number of his political partisans. But the accident of the insurrection would seem to have been even greater than that of the assemblage. It was not till all the ardent harangues which our pedantic neighbours will deliver over a patriot e t e st had been heard, and the last firing ov er th e d ea d had ended, that the firing—(by w h om b egun i s yet doubtful)—on the livin g commence d.
