FOREIGN AND COLONIAL FRANCE The Provisional Government having discovered a plot song the exalter of the clubs for the arrest of Lamar le and Gamier Pages, have determined to organize a vic guard of 1500 men for the protection of the govern ent. Disorders had taken place at Rouen on Tuesday. The Provisional Government has materially reduced ,e salaries of all public functionaries. _ The Provisional Government has fixed the Ist of April for the reception of Mr. Smith O'Brien and the Irish deputation ock on vvednesday evening a mob Bur of the Pre-se, vociferating threats . That gentleman, however, in a .1, succeeded in talking uietly. Another attempt was made two hours' conferena and they departed c them over, how- ever, subsequently to destroy the printing machinery of the paper, which was with the greatest difficulty kept down. It is very evident that among people of property confi dence has not been restored. A vast quantity of valua bles are daily leaving Paris, which are the property, not of the timid and the ignorant, but of those who are sup posed to be the best informed on the real position of af fairs. It is said that the chief partner in one of the banking establishments of Paris, who was known to have sent away a large amount of property, has been informed by the Government that he himself will not be allowed to leave Paris ThP r on says, " In contradiction to a rumour which was current on Monday evening in many saloons, and in bled to state, in the most The Courier (11 Lyons says that the workmen in that city were in revolt. They had demanded and took forci ble possessions of the powder magazine, and seized on a quantity of arms, and at the time the paper was going to press orders had been given that no public carriage should be allowed to leave the city.

The Times correspondent states that although an anti-ministerial feeling had caused con siderable agitation at Madrid, no man dreamed of a The National, alluding to the prompt and total discom fiture of the band of marauders who had attempted to en ter Belgium from France, with a view to revolutionise that kingdom, faintly recommends an inquiry into the affair.

Lints rec In Paris the miscreants found guilty of destroying the bridge of the St. Germains Railroad at Asnieres, were on Thursday sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, varying from one to five years. The planting of trees of liberty had become such a nui sance that Government has at last determined to put an end to the practice. The journals mention innumerable gifts of money, plate, and other valuables, from individuals and associa tions, in aid of the public treasury. REPUBLICAN POLES.—About three thousand Poles assembled on Monday in the Place de la Revolution, and proceeded in order, with their national colours (red and white) flying, to the Hotel de Villei A considerable crowd accompanied the cortege, and loud cries of " Poland for ever !" were heard on all sides. At the Hotel de Ville the Provisional Government received a deputation of the main body. The latter asked for arms, but La martine, in a fraternising speech, refused this, and bid them do their work unaided, but by good wishes. Rumours of disturbances in several of the provinces were afloat yesterday morning in Paris. BELGIUM On the 27th ult. there was an attempt at an emeute in Brussels. About 160 people came out of the public houses in the Grande Place, and forming themselves into a body, went through the neighbouring streets to the Grand Sablon. In the rue de Rollebesk a pistol was fired at one of the agents of police, but happily without effect They next proceeded down the rue d'Oi and rue de l'Empereur, shouting " Vice la Republique." Here their further progress was opposed by the serjeants of the city, who succeeded in dispersing them, by giving them heavy blows with their batons. Several citizens helped the police in dispersing the rioters, eight of whom were arrested. The " Belgian Legion," composed of Frenchmen, 2000 strong, invaded Belgium on the 29th ult., and were op posed by the advanced guard, composed of 200 men and 25 artillerymen, on which the legion pressed forward with colours flying and drums boating- a charge. For a few moments their fire was brisk. Several prisoners were taken, and among them the leader of the invading legion, a Parisian. The legion lost many men ; 400 were killed or wounded. The guard lost only one man, and five or six wounded. When the main column of the Belgian troops arrived, the defeat was complete, and the invaders fled in disorder across the French frontier. This is a downright attempt at invasion by the French republic, though denied : it is called a return of Belgian operatives to their own native country, but in reality it is an irrup tion of French soldiers ; and at this moment there is an armed force of 6000 men, the majority of them French men, assembled on the frontier, preparing to enter Bel gium with the hope of annexing it to France. The in vading army has been enlisted, mustered, and organised in Paris, and drilled there. They have been carried by special trains, which in France are obtainable only by Government. But the result of this first encounter will probably stay the enterprise of the marauders. We learn by the Florence papers of the 21st ult. that a revolution took place at Modena on the 20th. About a hundred youths on that day sallied forth with loud cheers for independence, the revolution of Paris, and that / of Vienna. The Hungarians and the pioneers refused to act against the people ; the dragoons alone fought desperately. The Duke, at the time of our account, was vainly trying to conciliate the people by concessions. The same papers announce that Venice, Trieste, and Padua were in open insurrection on the 19th. _ _ Our letters from Naples state, that a collision between the autllorities and the lazzaroni took place at Naples on the 15th inst. Don Carlos, who for some time has been inhabiting Genoa, has suddenly quitted that city. The Prince of Savoy is at the head of 15,000 regular troops and 7000 volunteers. He has arrived at Corteggio. General Sonnan has marched upon Pavia, of which it is said he is master. _ _ The Dads, referring to the warlike proceedings of the King of Sardinia and the Grand Duke of Tuscany, recom mends the King of Naples to follow their example, and go with his subjects in their desires for the liberation of Italy. The Debats sees that such is the best chance for the Italian princes preserving their own thrones. Venice has separated itself from the Austrian Govern ment, and formed a Provisional Government. The sol diers and employe's are permitted to depart without inter ruption. Count Zichy answers, at the risk of his head, for the maintenance of the conditions imposed by the Pro visional Government. The arsenal and the fortress are in the hands of the people. Trent and Tyrol are said to be in open revolt : Lodia and Cremona have triumphed, after being partly burnt by the enemy. Pavia and Brescia have expelled the Austri ans. The garrison of Pizzi-Ghettone joined the insur gents, and was captured by the Milanese, with 17 pieces of artillery. The duchies of Parma and Modena have united with Piedmont and Lombardy. The Duke of Modena is a prisoner. On the 21st, when the news of the move ment at Milan reached Rome, the people proceeded to the palace of the Austrian Embassy, and tore down the impe rial arms. The Ambassador tied. The King of Sardinia is at the head of his army. The Milanese have blown up the bridge of Lambro to cut off the communication. Venice is in full insurrection. The Grand Duke of Tus cany proclaims, in his turn, that the hour of the complete resurrection of Italy has struck. Not only has the Duke commanded the enrolment of volunteers, but he is march ing all his regular troops towards Lombardy. The Ri sorgimento of the 26th ult. announces that the Sardinian regiment of Pinerolo and the cavalry regiment of Piemonte Reale entered Milan on the 25th, amidst the most enthu, siastic demonstrations of applause. A letter from Parii, on Monday, announces the entry of the Piedmontese troops into the Lombardo-Venetian territories. T,lie Austrian troops at Milan, on the 21st ult., being in want of provisions, offered to treat, but the Poesta replied that he would listen to no terms until they should have evacuated the citadel. The conflict then be came most murderous. The Austrians had about 700 killed and wounded, whilst the Milanese only lost 250 men. Eventually the Austrian army evacuated the town, and now no longer occupies Lombardy. The retreat from Milan, which commenced, soon became disordered, and ended in absolute The soldiers harassed, in dis order, and without food, had the greatest difficulty to force a passage through a country of which the whole po pulation had risen against them. General Radetzky was , obliged to abandon to the Milanese the whole of the wounded, all his ammunition, and a great portion of his baggage and artillery. A regiment of dragoons, which was cut off from retreating by the insurgents, was obliged to surrender, and lay down its arms. The battle had lasted six days, and the resistance was of the most obsti: nate kind on both sides. The Austrian army having now retreated from Lombardy, appears to concentrate at Ve rona, on the line of the Adige. On the 26th ult. all was quiet at Milan. The Milan correspondent of yesterday's Times doubts that any regu lar Sardinian force has passed into Lombardy. Advices have .been received from Naples to the 22d, bringing the important intelligence that the King of Naples has abandoned his Sicilian sovereignty. The Ne apolitan troops were about to evacuate immediately the fortresses of Syractise and Messina. King Ferdinand de clares, in his proclamation, that he has been forced into this measure, protests against it, and appeals to the Powers of Europe as yet been . rece Mr. BANKES moved a resolution, " that in the opinion of the house, the powers, rights, and authority now vested in the commissioners of railways, be so regulated to secure their efficient execution at a greatly diminishec rate of charge to the public." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted the necessity for economy in this department, and intimated that on ➢ir. Strutt's being unseated for Derby, that gen tleman had tendered his resignation of the office of first commissioner of railways, which had been reluctantly accepted ; and a member of the Board of Trade would be appointed as an unpaid commissioner to fill the office. After some discussion, Mr. LABOUCHERE moved the previous question, which, on a division, was carried by a majority of 19, the numbers being 75 to 56. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY moved the second reading of the Election Recognizances Bill, its principal object being, in those cases of contested returns where the recogni lances taken before the examiner are invalid, that the petitioners shall be afforded the opportunity of making them good before the committee on elections After a debate the house divide( when the second reading was carried by a majority of 32, the number being 112 to 80. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY Mr. C. AN STEP postponed the committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill until a future day. _ _ Mr. GOULBURN moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire whether the oaths required to be taken at the table by members of the house had been duly taken by Benjamin Hawes, Esq. (the newly-elected member for Kinsale.) 'J he motion ;T.! nmed to, and a select committee or dered to be appointed. Mr. ENVART postponed the second reading of the Ap peals in Criminal Cases Bill until the second Wednesday after Easter. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH brought forward a motion respecting the increase which had taken place in the ex- I3ense of the public departments during the past year. The noble lord •particrilarlv specified the post-office, the Admi ralty, and the Colonial-office, as the departments in which additional expense had been incurred, amounting to a to tal of £llO,OOO. He hoped the Government we able to account satisfactorily for these increased charge. and should content himself with moving for a specific re turn of the salaries and emoluments allowed to each per son employed in the public departments for the year 18-47. if that return should not be satisfactory, then he should consider it necessary either to move for a select committee, or perhaps to move for the correspondence which had taken place between the Treasury and the different depart ments with respect to the increase or diminution of the charge on the public. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no objection to the return. He was quite sure that the additional charges were not incurred for any other object than the efficient .discharge of the public duties required from each depart ment. Earls GREY and AUCKLAND and the Marquis of CLAN RICARDE then explained the reasons which bad occasioned increased expenditure in their several d( , artments Lord STALEY thanked the Earl of Ellenborc having brought the subject forward, but suggested, as the Government did not seem to have understood the nat ure of his motion, that should be withdrawn and brought forward again at a future period. The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH agreed to this suggestion, and the motion was withdrawn. HOUSE OF LORDS FRIDAY The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in reply to Lord Beau mont, stated that the effect of the Arms Act had been to put an end to outrage in the more disturbed districts of Ireland,—that juries and witnesses also had discharged their onerous duties in the most exemplary manner,—that the clergy of the Establ shed Church had generally lent their aid in preventing disturbance, and the Roman Ca tholic clergy, also, had, not only in Ireland, but in Eng land—particularly in Manchester—manifested a strong desire for the preservation of order, by exhorting their bearers to preserve it. He earnestly hoped, therefore, with the aid of the improved spirit which had evinced itself in Ireland, that the government would be enabled to maintain that which they were determined to maintain —the public peace. _ _ _ _ Lora STANLEY congratulated their lordships on the testimony borne to the conduct of the catholic clergy, the more particularly because he had had occasion at an earlier period of the session to impugn it ; but he even now thought they felt desirous of having it believed that the' .preservation of order was rather the result of their own influence than to be attributed to the operation of the 'law. He was free, however, to admit that there were cases, as at Manchester and elsewhere, which showed the existence of a more estimable spirit. After referring to the revolutions which were convulsing Europe, but which found but a faint echo in this country, in consequence of the determined conduct of the great bulk of society to overawe the small minority who were anxious to disturb it, the noble lord proceeded to contend, that looking to the language which had been used by certain parties in Ireland, it did appear to him, contemplating the conse quences to which such exhortations might lead, that they ought to be rendered liable to a punishment less tardy than the ordinary process of indictment for misdemeanour, or prosecution as state criminals for thigh treason could award. He thought this subject well deserving the attention of all those who were desirous to see bloodshed avoided, and peace maintained in Ireland. Lord MONTEAGLE was of opinion that the law had never been more satisfactorily administered in Ireland than at the present time : the people saw that acts of vio lence interfered with the application of capital and the employment of labour, and hence a better feeling was ma nifested throughout that country. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY Mr. LABOUCHERE, in reply to Mr. J. B. Smith, stated that a cargo of cotton coming from the United States to Havre, and thence to England, under the American or English flag, could be landed, provided no part of the' cargo had been discharged; but the admission of cotton under the French flag, in consequence of its being un saleable in Havre, would be a direct violation of the navi gation laws ; and in answer to Mr. Bright, the right hon. gentleman slated that the present pressure of public;busi mess prevented his stating when the bill for the alteration of the navigation laws would be brought in, but of which event due notice would be given. A conversation, as to the amount of poor rates levied in Ireland, was raised by Lord George Bentinck. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Mr. J. Clay, stated that no measures had been taken for protecting the British trade in tlLc Baltic, the Government not considering any such step necessary. Mr. Hump: exp;issed a hope, as Lord Minto had held credentials to the court of Naples, that as the king had abdicated. the noble earl's interference would cease. The House resolved into a committee of supply, when the SECRETARY-AT-WAR, having given a detail of the principal items of the army estimates, moved a vote of 113,841 men (exclitsive of the troops in India) for the service of the ensuing year. --- - M r . H u g E moved that the number be reduced to 100,000. The speakers in favour of the original proposition were Mr. V. Smith, Col. Sibthorp, Lord J. Russell (who ex;- pressed his intention of revising . the whole system of taxation, which pressed so heaVily on the Working classes,) Sir D. L. Wens, and Mr. Newdegate. The speakers in *your of the amendment were Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright. Mr. B. OsnowNE suggested a plan of his own, which, *thou impairing the efficiency of f e army, would save of the present ettimate, RUSSIA The army of fhe Caucasus is to be diminished, and has received strict orders to confine itself to the defensive. fknhamyl has established a regular estafette service with Coptantinople, in order to Otain the earnest intelligence of what passes in Europe. His intention is to assume the offensive as soon as hostilities shall have commenced in Poland. It must not be forgotten that there are from 60,000 to 80,000 Poles in the Caucasus. The state of southern Russia is very uneasy. The Cossacks are greatly irritated by the liar ...shriess with which the Czar has treated them. The province of Kusan, situated between the White Sea, the Ural Mountains, and the Wolga, is in a state of greit excitement. The four millions of Tartars who inhabit it are eagerly expecting an opportunity of throwing off the iron yoke of the Emperor. SWEDEN Disturbances broke out at Stockholm on the 19th ult., the results of a great reform banquet. The military were ultimately obliged to interfere, and several persons were killed. Order was restored next day, and the King and Princes, on riding through the capital, were received with great enthusiasm. Several deputations waited on the King, to express their sorrow at what had occurred. Other accounts speak of the erection of barricades, the breaking into and plunder of shops, the release of prisoders, and the destruction of the house of Count Hartmansdorf, the leader of the ultra-Conservative party. The Swedish papers attribute these excesses to no political cause. They proceeded from the lowest class of the people. PRUSSIA Accounts from Berlin state that not only was the city perfectly tranquil, but the King was more popular than ever he had been. His Majesty started for Potsdam on the morning of the 25th, where the magistrates and the inhabitants treated him with great enthusiasm. The pub lic could scarcely be prevented from taking the horses from the King's carriage and drawing it themselves. The King addressed the people and the officers of the POtsdam garrison, and returned to Berlin about noon. The at tempts to establish a republic in Prussia have all signally failed. A letter from Berlin in the Dusseldorfer Deitung speaks of_the critical position of affairs with regard to despatches at Kiincgsberg the Russian Ambassador, Baron Meyendorf, has been instructed by his court to leave Berlin and has taken his departure with his family and the rest of the legation. This almost amounts to actual de claration of war. The 2nd regiment has consequently re ceived orders to march to the frontier. Almost all the liberated Poles have left Berlin for Posen. They - are all provided with arms, and according to their statements pretty correct), all the Poles now in England and 'France, would join them at Posen to assist in reconquering Poland. Hopes are entertained of raising a Polish army of 40,000 men in the Grand Duchy of Posen. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES The Danes are arming their sea defences with all speed. The King has declined to allow Schleswig (a duchy which has been attached to Denmark from time immemorial) to pass over to the German Confederation, though it is to have " as much provincial independence as tne nature of the case admits." The Danish Government shrinks from extremities to the last moment, but the inhabitants are prepared to follow the first appeal of their King. The Schleswig-Holstein insurrection has met with little favour at Hamburgh, though things look very black. A letter dated Hamburgh, March 28th, says :—` The Danes pre pare for war, and the German Confederation having taken the quarrel up, a complete panic reigns at our Exchange. It is feared that the Danes will blockade the Sound and Belt, and seize all German vessels. All shipments from the Baltic must, consequently, cease immediately, as also from Denmark and Holstein. 12,000 Danes are said to be preparing to march into Schleswig. Several vessels on their way through the Belt have not been allowed to pass, and have gone back to Lubeck. All the seamen in merchant vessels in Denmark will be pressed ; a good many have already deserted their vessels to enter the navy. It is, indeed, a most disastrous time." It seems that the Duchy of Holstein belongs to the German Con federation, but that of Schleswig does not; and the King of Prussia has no legal authority over the latter. It was reported in Berlin on Thursday last, on good authority, that the King of Prussia had ordered Count Donhoff, his minister at Frankfort, to lay the Schleswig- Holstein question before the Diet without delay ; his Ma jesty himself having only taken precautionary measures in conjunction with the King of Hanover and the Duke of Brunswick for defending the Duchy of Holstein in case of an attack by the Danes. The 10th corps of the Federal army, consisting of 24,000 men, with a reserve of the same number of Prussian troops, were held in readiness to pro tect the sacred fatherland. Letters from Frankfort of Friday announce that the Diet had already commenced its deliberations on the proposition of Count Donhoff, and add that the decision of that body could not be doubtful. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) _ _ By the Victoria steamer, Captain Dickenson, which arrived at Hull, on Sunday, from Hamburgh, we have received the subjoined intelligence : " HAMBURGH, MARCH 31. "A Prussian courier passed through this town on the evening of the 28th, bearing a letter from the King of Prussia to the King of Denmark, reminding his Majesty that from the time of Christian I. in the 15th century, the successive Sovereigns of Denmark had recognised the ancient stipulation that Holstein and Schleswig never should 'be separated, upbraiding him for his present inten tion of separating them without their consent, and de claring that he should considei the landing of a single soldier—a Danish soldier—on the soil of Schleswig as a declaration of war. -17 his morning three couriers from the Holstein Pro visional Government passed through with despatches for Hanover, Oldenburg, and Brunswick, earnestly entreat ing the immediate march of the promised contingents. " KIEL, MARCH 29, 1 P.M. " We learn that the island of Aisen is surrounded by Danish ships sent to seize the estate of the Duke of Augustenburg, which is there situate, and also to protect and remove the few Danish inhabitants of the island." The following is an extract from a private letter from Hamburgb, received by a highly respectable firm at Hull ------ - " None but British vessels can get chartered for the Belts or the Baltic." The war with Mexico is said to have cost Jonathan five hundred and seventy millions of dollars. . A liberal newspaper, without being subjected to the censorship of the press, has made its appearance at Cra cow—it is called the Morning Star. The Duke of Brunswick has placed his dominions at the disposal of the German Confederation, in favour of an empire of Germany. The military have been given black, red, and gold cockades and flags. A rumour prevailed in London last week, and wan cir culated in many of the papers, that Warsaw had been re duced to ashes, and many hundred Russians murdered. There is, however, no truth in the report. The packet-ship New World, on Thursday morning, brought one day's later news from New York than we received by the steamer. The Senate at Washington, had adjourned, having ratified the treaty with Mexico by a vote of 58 to 15. The injunction to secresy had not been removed. A Copenhagen correspondent of the Literary Gazette says that a short time ago Herr Anderson was presented with " the order of the white falcon" by the Duke of Saxe Weimar ; and a few days since " the order of the white star" was presented to him by the King of Sweden, through his ambassador at Copenhagen. EXCUSABLE SACRILEGE.—A reward of 500 dollars has been offered in the Roman Gazette, for the robber who broke open a chest, secured by three locks, in St. Peter's, and took out of it the skull of St. Andrew. The crime is denounced as a dreadful sacrilege, and such, perhaps, it may be legally considered ; but it is not altogether with out excuse; for the rogue who coveted St. Andrew's skull had evidently no head of his own. The Madrid mails of the 25th state that on the 24th the Queen, while promenading at the Prado, was nearly upset from her carriage. She jumped lightly out, and was not hurt. There were rumours concerning the arrest of some members of a club, including an Irish priest. It was in tended, it was said, to have. got up a republican move ment in the capital itself. The Infanta had not arrived at San Sebastian on the 25th, but was hourly expected. A curious emeute occurred at Christiana, in Norway, on the 15th and two following evenings. The editor of the Morgenblad, in some remarks on the French Revolution, called upon the Norwegians to arouse themselves to action. The students came in the evening and saluted him in his house with groans. Some friends of the editor's made a counter demonstration ; ;from words they got to blows. and on the third evening a serious affray commenced, and the military were called out. Several prisoners were taken. THE WANDERING COURTEZAN. — Senora Lola Mentes, after having been again insulted at Frankfort, .arrived at Mayence on Tuesday. The hotel where she took up her residence was immediately surrounded by a great multi tude of people. and the civic authorities found themselves induced to call upon her and request her to leave the town as quickly as possible, a steamer for Rotterdam just being ready to start. The lady at first refused ; but, seeing that the request would probably be changed into a command, she obeyed, and embarked at once for Rotterdam, whence, it is said, she intends to visit England. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. - , , m , z%•ltAnx IRELAND, On Monday, a great tenant-right meeting was held in Lurgan, for the purpose of forwarding petitions to parlia ment on the subject of tenant-right On Wednesdayi, at Roscommon, the unfortunate Patrick Flynn was executed for the murder of Michael Duignan, on the sth of April, 1845. Hoaan, a blacksmith of Ennis, has killed his son, by running a red hot iron spike into the lad's head, during a fit of anger caused by the son's disobedience. A detachment of Royal Artillery is quartered in the Castle of Dublin, with four nine-pounder howitzers and tumbrils of ammunition: 10,000 stand of arms and 150,000 rounds of musket ball cartridge are lodged in the castle. According to the Dublin Herald "ball practice" has commenced among the repeal rifles. About 150 of them assembled on the North Wall on Sunday, and exhibited no contemptible specimen of skill. At a meeting held at Galway, op St. Patrick's Day, a Mr. Winter charged Lord John Russell with " callous and cold-blooded cruelties and wholesale butcheries," and said, amidst loud cheers, that his lordship deserved to perish on the block. PREPARATIONS.—Troops are now arriving daily in Ire land, and Lord Clarendon has adopted every precaution necessary for the emergency in which he is placed. The loyal inhabitants of Dublin, to the amount of several thousand men, are to be supplied with muskets and am- munition. Mrs. Bray, formerly Miss Walker, of Newcastle, in this county, who was employed as nurse to the Princess Royal, has been also engaged in the same capacity for the infant Princess, born a few days since.—Limerick Chronicle.—[lf the above statement be true, it is clear her Majesty does not apply to the " no Irish need apply" system.l There was a scene at the Repeal Association meeting on the 7th. John O'Connell was, as would-be represen tative of his Sainted Sire, for pacific measures. He pro posed an address to the Queen for Repeal, and to the Prime Minister for food. A Mr. Leyne, however, spoke openly for violent and coercive means for attaining their objects. He afterwards explained that he meant nothing " illegal." The Dublin . Herald and Pilot newspapers speak of a threatening letter delivered to Lord Clarendon, on or before the, 17th, threatening his Lordship that evening with assassination at the ball. The Pilot says that a person handed a note to one of the attendants at the door, telling him to give it to his Excellency, and then hurriedly departed. At the Repeal meeting, on Monday, on Lord Clarendon's name being mentioned by one of the speakers, a fellow shouted at the top of his voice " he is a good mark." The Repealers, finding that Lord Clarendon is too well prepared to permit them to hope for success from their pikes and pistols, are trying to wheedle the Protestants of Ireland into " peaceful co-operation" with them. For this purpose they propose to address a persuasive appeal "to the Orangemen and anti-Repeal Protestants of Ireland." " The Orangemen and Conservative Protes tants of Ireland," says the Freeman, " are yet unac quainted with us." Quite a mistake. They are some what too well acquainted with you, and the better they know the less they like you. THE ORANQEMEN.—A meeting of the Orangemen of the Moneymore district, was held on the 27th ult., to take into consideration the present alarming state of the coun try, when an address to his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant was agreed to, expressive of their determination to support the monarchial government of the realm, and maintain the union between Great Britain a nd Ireland. Similar resolutions have been passed by most of the lodges throughout Ireland, and we trust that the Irish viceroy and the government and people of Great Britain generally will appreciate and honour the fidelity of the Protestant people of Ireland. HORRIBLE MURDER.—The Longford Journal records the murder of Michael Donohoe, aged 73, a farmer, at Fostra, who had made an agreement some time ago with his own son to let him have the farm on certain terms. The son complained of these terms on various occasions, and particularly after his marriage, and it is supposed that, in order to relieve him of the burden, some of his friends attacked the deceased on the night of the 26th, fractured his skull with a hatchet or hammer, and, in a word, murdered him. The verdict of the 'coroner's jury was wilful murder against some person or persons un known. A SERIOUS COUNT IN THE INDICTMENT.—OLIF readers are aware that " reasonable" fine and imprisonment are the punishments attached to sedition. It is, however, very confidently stated that one count in the indictment to be preferred against Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher, and Mitchel, charges them, under the 37th Geo. 111., Ist Vic. 91, with endeavouring to seduce her majesty's forces from their allegiance. In this case (if convicted) they would incur the punishment of transportation for the term of their natural lives, and certainly with the cordial concurrence of all her majesty's loyal subjects, whether in Ireland or in England. A PARADOX.—A return just issued of the amount of stocks transferred from England to Ireland, and the re verse, in each year from 1837 to 1847, both inclusive, gives the total as £83,945,742 stock transferred from England to Ireland in that period, and £6,193,879 stock transfer red from Ireland to England. It would thus appear that in eleven years £7,751,863 has been added to the capital of Ireland, and realised in the public funds. .Who has all this money ? Why is Ireland starving amid so great plenty ?—become interesting questions for the statesman and political philosopher. DUBLIN THE SEAT OF THE POPEDOM.-011 Saint Patrick's Day, a priest, belonging to Birmingham, preached at Rome, and in his sermon, said—" Should foreign inva sion or domestic conspiracy deprive Pio Nono of the old patrimony of St. Peter, Ireland will be proud to furnish a new abode of the popedom, a new central focus of fer vent Catholicity. What Avignon was, let Dublin be !" Numbers of Irish workmen, driven from France, are now arriving at Dublin, in a state of the greatest destitu tion. It is said that Smith O'Brien, on landing at Bou logne, met some of his countrymen on the pier, waiting to be conveyed to the British coast. " Go, show yourselves at Conciliation-hall," said he " and ask the gentlemen there if they will not take arms now for the French equa lity." THE IRISH LANDLORDS.—At the Repeal meeting, on Monday, Lord Miltown stated that, in the county of Mayo, two gentlemen of large landed estates, hearing that the Society of Friends were looking for ground, for the benevolent purpose of employing the people, competed with each other in making offers of their land. One offered his to the society, merely on the condition of paying all taxes upon it ; but the other went further, for he not only offered his land without rent, but undertook to pay the poor rates upon it, if the society would under take to pay merely the county cess. Such was the state to which the gentry of Ireland were now reduced ! A gentleman, one of large fortune in the county, had lately been obliged to sell his carriage and horses to pay a sum of £1,500 due upon his estate in poor rates alone, and had since been obliged to fly the country altogether to avoid arrest. SAVAGE AND FATAL BRITTALITY. --- TWO farmers, next door neighbours, near Rathdrum, county of Wicklow, having quarrelled, one of them, with a party, attacked the other, broke the old man's skull, and left him stretched beside a wall weltering in his blood. A sister of the vic torious party got on the wall, raised an immense stone therefrom, and with all her might sank it down into the old man's chest and heart. His old wife, long after, hob bled out to see what was done ; they saw her, and came at her with a spade. She raised up one arm, which they slit from the wrist to the elbow. She then raised the other to defend her head. This they broke in pieces, then gave her two dangerous cuts in the head. One son's skull was broken ; there are little or n o ho p es of his re covery, he being quite delirious ; the others a re all man gled, such as broken arms, lips cut off, and teeth knocked out with facks. RorarsH LIBERALITY. — The impish journals of this country all harp on the same string—that civil liberty is -only compatible with Popish rule. On looking over the new Papal constitution, therefore, we naturally looked to see these respectable or questionable authorities confirmed. We searched narrowly, hoped long, found nothing, and incurred disappointment. Found nothing !—by no means ! We found much. It was comprised in a few words, but to the manner the signification was " as Ossa to a wart.", It was neither more nor less than this. Behold the Papal spirit which ensures equality of freedom to every man who breathes within the Papal jurisdiction :—" THE PRo rLSSLON OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION IS INDISPENSA BLE AS A QUALIFICATION FOR THE EXERCISE OW CIVIL AND POLITICAL BIGHTS." We can scarcely believe what we read. What ! Civil rights not to be extended to the man whose religious opinions are at issue with those held • by the head of the state ? Oh, Dr. M'Hale !—is it in the States of the church that no man shall possess a vote who is not impressed with the convictions of the Sovereign of those States ? In much bemoaned Ireland, papists have not only such votes, but there, as in England also, they are eligible as candidates. Popery—and Popery only—re fuse these rights. ALARMING STATE OF IRELAND. — The aspect of affairs in Ireland waxes worse and worse every day. The state prosecutions, instead of checking the sedition of the dis affected, seems to have increased their audacity and It is said that Government will not resist the enactment extended their circle ; and their inflammatory appeals to of a statute enabling Irish barristers to practise at the En- public opinion ere now ripened into appeal to ball prac glish bar, and that such a measure will be introduced very tice and the use of the rifle, on the one hand ; while, on soon. the other, fresh auxiliaries are entering into the field of LIBEL.—At the Denbighshire assizes, last week, an agitation : and from lips hitherto thought loyal are issuing action was brought by Mr. Barnwell, head master of the volcanos of rebellious excitement.

The Lord Bishop of Manchester has appointed Dr. Haggard, of Doctors' Commons, to be Chancellor of that diocese. The Archbishop of Canterbury has dismissed Mr. Maitland, and appointed one of his sons-in-law to the librarianship of Lambeth. The Times states that the Rev. H. G. Liddell, head master of Westminster School, has been appointed tutor to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The Rev. Mr: Kennedy, who has been the incumbent of St. Paul's Church, Birmingham, during the last fifty two years, will preach his farewell sermon to the congrega tion on Sunday. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners have resolved, on the representation of John Tollemache, Esq., M.P., to aug ment the endowment of the Incumbency of Swallwood, Cheshire. On Tuesday, the annual meeting of the Bradford Auxi liary of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, was held in that town.. The Lord Bishop of Ripon presided. The attend ance was very large. _ UNIVERSITY of DURHAM.—The Lord Bishop of Dur ham has given £6OO to the University, of which £2OO is to be applied to the prize fund, and £lOO to the enlarge ment of the Castle Hall. The foundation-stone of a new church at Fordcombe green, in the parish of Penshurst, was laid by Lord Har dinge on Friday last. The funds for the building were transmitted from India just after his splendid achievements there. May we venture to suggest, what perhaps has already been done in some parishes, that the Prayer for Fair Weather should be offered ? The recent long prevalence of rain may, we believe, be regarded as a visitation under which this prayer may be fitly used. OXFORD.-Mr. J. G. Sargent, First-Master of Merton College, has just been elected to the Hertford Scholarship for the promotion of the study of Latin. There were up wards of 30 candidates. It was announced that the second in the examination was Mr. W. Word, Scholar of Trinity College, who was lately head boy of the Royal Institution School in this town. The Lent Ordinations tby 13 Bishops) numbered alto gether 86 deacons, and 73 priests ; in all 159. Of these were members of the University of Oxford : deacons, 24 priests 15.

It is of the value of £3O per annum, to be held for four years. The exhibitioners are to be natives of the county of Cumberland (or in defect of such, of Westmorland) who havc v been educated during four years at the above named grammar school, and are to be elected by a provost and fellows of Queen's College. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.-011 Sunday week• his Grace the Archbishop of. Canterbury preached, for the first time after his Confirmation, a sermon on be half of the Benevolent Society, in the parish Church of Farnham, Surrey, the BiShop of the diocese being present. The occasion, was taken advantage of by the inhabitants to testify, by the mode of their reception, their sense of the honour conferred on the parish by the Primate as well as the respectful attachment entertained by them selves towards their revered diocesan. ELECTION OF THE BISHOP OF CHESTER.—Friday having been appointed for the election of a Bishop of the diocese of Chester, rendered vacant by the promotion of Dr. John Bird Sumner to the Archbishopric of Canter bury, the proceedings created no inconsiderable interest, twenty years having elapsed since the occurrence of a similar ceremony. The Hon. and Rev. Dr. Anson, D.D., Dean of Chester, entered the Cathedral shortly before eleven o'clock, being accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Slade, Vicar of Bolton le Moors, and the Rev. J. Eaton, Canons Residentiary of the Cathedral, with the officials ; and the usual 'ceremonials having been gone through, Dr. John Graham was unanimously elected to the vacant bishopric of Chester. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER. — There is no new feature in the market si nce our last report. There is - still some business doing in low cloths for India ; but in goods generally there is barely, suffi cient business to maintain the present very low prices, and the tendency of the market is drooping. This is still more the case with yarns. Manufacturers are unwilling to drive their hands out of employment ; and they therefore throw their goods on the market, in order to continue running their mills, whereas their own interest would induce them to stop working. This circumstance partly accounts for the very great depression wsich exists. tiA t - -- 114 • el A STAGE COACH Puw.—A passenger, conside ri 9quir e ) a stage coach was travelling particularly slow , e cir iser.i What name it went by.

Prices of all descriptions of gray goods are the same as our last report. There has been rather more doing in the Wool market : prices remain firm. LEEDS.—With some improvement in the weather, there has been a slight increase in the demand for woollen goods, but, as has been , the case for so.ee time past, the purchases have been chiefly for the home trade. Stocks being small, prices remain firm. Many of the operative woollen manufacturers are but partially employed, and a large number are without any work at all. The trade has not been more stagnated at this period of the year for several years past. HALIFAX.—Pieces: We had a similar market this week to what we have had for some time back ; very few buyers attend ing, and only a trifling business being done. Yarns still con tinue in the same languid state they have been in for some time past. Wool continues much the same, and only a small amount of business doing. HUDDERSFIELD.—There has been an improVement in the market this week, and a considerable number of buyers have attended it. Some descriptions of goods are rather scarce, especially new patterns suitable for spring. Prices are without any alteration. LEICESTER.—We cannot notice any improvement this week. The London and Manchester houses are doing nothing; and the country trade, owing partly to the continuance of wet weather, is extremely flat. Orders for the United States are on the most limited scale, and our continental demand is at present at an end. But little is doing in worsted yarns, which have not been lower since 1830. A reduction of ls. per bundle has been made by one house from their list price in brown cotton hosiery yarn. But little is doing in wools; prices con tinue steady, and, at present, are but little affected by the ge neral gloom which pervades all branches of trade. NOTTINGHAN.—Lace: It is difficult to give an accurate re port of the state of the lace market; there is difficulty and distrust as to the state of Germany and Italy, and consequently s le e s ll s in d s oi f n o g r t t h h a e n k ex e n atrawdeee,kwahrh., one w h o le, appears to b fancy silk goods are e reviving: and it is our chief dependence, so it would prove, in the present. improvement the actual state of this business, a most important resource, is rat The number of unemployed hands resources inadequate otherwise, many employers finding their production. even at its present rate.— Hosiery to maintaining their _ _ were the buyers tolerably assured of uninterhreurptiendateraasneqduitlhdayn. during the past fe , l e o d uld a fine open maternally tend to a still further weather continue, it will change for the better.

Still, it is to be greatly feared that, however small may be the present amount of production, it is more than equal to the demand. GeAsoow.—Our market continues in a state of great depres sion, and there is little alteration to notice in prices, or in the extent of transactions. The commercial intelligence, however, from Holland, Germany, and other parts of the continent, is of a more cheerful nature, and has contributed to dispel, in some measure, the feeling of despondency which existed last week. Some shipments of manufactured goods are in prepara tion for Mexico, in expectation of their being admitted under the American tariff; should such prove to be the case, san guine expectations are entertained of a profitable result, the country being represented as entirely bare of supplies. In other respects, the latest foreign accounts are not calculated to stimulate production. The country trade continues to im prove slowly, and our market this week has been favoured by a good attendance of English buyers.
