THE MOVEMENT.

Is all our more recent popular agitation,
semwahm of the merchant prime of Lon** has be
WA as an assurance of success; but ill. general tit,
hewn allowed themselves to be Mattel for. In 11
Mies Bill struggle, the mlci Gl' piesinghara. pep
plied of the difficulty of movivg the aids's§ of
Legion ; in the Anti-Corn-law struggle, a similar 1
mosplaiat wee ends by the men of Manchester. It in
not that our sagacious citizens are lees liberal in their
principles, or more timid in asserting them; but the
enormous magnitude sod complexity of their mercantile
operations absorb them so entirely, that they are apt
to rest satisfied with expressing approbation of
any political movement, and to leave it to
others to take the labouring oar. This habitual
wariness and tardiness imparts tenfold weight to the
City demor.stration of Saturday. The necessity must
indeed be urgent which spurs such men to initiate
an agitation. Whoever was present in the London
Tavern on Saturday could not fail to be struck, not
only with the clue of men who crowded the spacious
hall, bet with their apparent ages. Tothoes whoviewed
the meeting looking down from the gallery few of
the men who composed it appeared to have numbered
Ism than five and forty years. The opinions and men-
talists expressed by the speakers and embodied in the
mosistioos must therefore be regarded as those of men
who have outlived the excitability of youth, and whose
engagements are such as effectually to preclude their
taking part in any movement the objects of which they
do not feel to be of life and death interest, and certain
of attainment. Government, Parliament, and the Na-
tion may rest assured that having laid their hands to
the plough nothing on earth can oblige these men to
tarn back until their ends are accomplished. Where
all spoke well and to the purpose, it might seem in-
vidious to single out any one for approving comment,
and yet we believe we only echo the sentiments of
every person present when we say, that the opening ad-
dress of Mr.Moner, the chairman—ea full of weighty
matter, so temperately firm, so devoid of all mere
oratorical trick—left upon his audience the impression
that he had cflught a reflection of the spirit of those intel-
lectual giants who took the lead in the great struggle
of the 16th century,--all whose actions were inspired
by a profound religious conviction, and regulated by al
surpassing practical judgment. Nor mast an incident
of the day, which has a meaning beyond what at first
appears, be passed over unnottel. So numerous were
the applicants for admission that the surplus
who could not obtain entrance, sufficed to farm
another crowded and most respectable meeting
in the Guildhall, the use of which was promptly
and liberally granted by the LORD MATO' for
the purpose, at the first application. Our memory
meals nothing similar to this in the history of popular
movements, unless perhaps at the banquet in Man-
chester which originated the Anti-corn-lair Leaps.
On that occasion the night was far spent before half
the speakers had been heard ; but the enthusiasm of
the company was unabated, and the worthy chairmia
proposed that the proceedings should be adjourned
till next evening. The proposal was eagerly
caught at—not the lees eagerly that there
was something piquant and amusing in the
Yea of an adjourned banquet. The experiment
was triumphantly successful, for the interest of the
second night's proceedings fully equalled that of the
first. We accept the somewhat analogous incident of
Saturday's double meeting as an omen that-success,
equal to that which crowned the efforts of the
League, awaits the labours of the Administrative
Reform Association.
The London meeting of Saturday has given articu-
late voice to thoughts and feelings, which at this mo-
ment fill the minds of men in every quarter of the laud.
Aresponse of loud and encouraging adhesion will forth-
with be heard from all the provinces. Indeed,
the mere announcement that such a meeting
was to be held had already elicited premonitory
symptoms. We were enabled to announce, in ear
impression of Satarday, that a private meeting .if
influential gentlemen had been held at Birmingham,
with a view to adopt measure' for 00-operating with
the metropolitan movement to promote Administra-
tive Reform. On the same day we reported, more
briefly than we could have wished, the proceedings

by two other members of the; House of Commons

The mildness of the weather has again attracted
attention to one of the yet unretnedied evils of Belit-
tlers, and the camps. Even now, long before the
hot season has set in, the stench from the graveyards
outside Balsklava is abominable, and these graveyards
are under the very. noses of the Guards and High-
landers (71st regiment), who are encamped on the
hills on either side of the plague spot. The burying

a greater number of victims,and these victims in their

weeks and weeks ago pointed out these evils and the

PARIS, SATURDAY BvaMU(G.
The government has received the following tele-
graphic despatches from Oen. Canrobert :
"Before Sebastopol, May 2.
"We last night had a successful affair. The
enemy had strongly united their works together, and
in connexion with some of their rifle pits. In front
of the central bastion was a work of counterapprosch,
with a double and very solid enclosure. This work
we have taken. We maintained ourselves there
under a very heavy fire, and definitively established
ourselves. We have taken from the enemy eight
small hand mortars which were in the works. Our
loss, which has not been yet exactly ascertained, is
lege than I might have feared. The enemy bee suf-
fered severely. The conduct of the troops was

May 3.

"At 4 o'clock yesterday evening, the enemy made
a sortie to retake the work of counter-approach which
we had taken from them on the preceding night. The
troops on 'guard received them at the point of the
bayonet, and drove them back into the place. The
enemy's artillery covered the departure and return of
this sortie by a very heavy cannonade, to which our
batteries warmly replied."
The above affair, of which you had a full telegraphic
account yesterday evening, is probably one of those
partial advances anticipated by your special corre-
spondent in his letter dated Kadikoi, April 13,
wherein he says " that partial usaults will take
place is very likely, from the preparations now
going on ; certain works and positions must be
occupied by French and English troops to more
completely batter the town and break the way for
further operations on the Tchernaya."
It must not be inferred from the above successful
• operation that any general assault upon the place is
' imminent.

The following telegraphic despatch has just been
received:

" MARSEILLES, SATURDAY, MAY 5.
" The packet just arrived brings news from the
Crimea to April 24. On the 22nd we sprung fresh

mines, which brought us within twenty-five metres

of the Flag-staff battery. Six vessels of the allied
fleets fired broadsides against Sebastopol. The place
responded, and the French frigate Mogador received
some damage. Omer Pacha has gone back to Eupa-
toria with the troops that he brought with him. On
ithe 23rd the fire slackened, and the Russians took
advantage of this respite to stop up the breaches that
had been made, and to repair the damage done by our
artillery to the Quarantine and Central bastions, as
well as to the batteries, barracks, and arsenal. The
Russians were concentrating their forces towards
lnkermann. Omer Pacha was expected to make a
diversion. On the 24th the Allies were to have made
a reconnaissance towards the Tchernaya, but the de-
I sign was abandoned."
The news of Omer Pacha having left with all his
forces (which amounted to 12,000 men) for Eupetoria
is by many persons considered very doubtful. No
word of any such movement is mentioned in official
despatches of much later date. If true, the inference
is that the new plan for extending the sphere at
operations to the entire peninsula had received a
commencement of execution. It is to be remarked,'
I however, that the news from the Crimea picked up,
lin Constantinople and telegraphed from Marseilles is
generally very inaccurate. The Balsklava telegraph'
appears now to be working actively. We read in
the Patrie's "Latest News:"
"We have reason to believe that a despatch from,
Balaclava has been received this morning, May 5,
in Paris. It announces that the efforts of the
Ruskin to retake the advanced works of the Flagstaff
battery had continued without success. Our soldiers
are fortifying themselves in this position, which forms'
Is sort of plateau. The firing is very heavy on both
Ass, and the fire is almost point blank, for the com-
batants are not more than 30 or 40 metres distant
from each other."

The Bourse was favourably acted upon at the open-
iog by the news from Sebastopol and the considerable
rue in Consols. The Rente went up to 69.40, but
is the afternoon there were a good many sales, and
the last price was 69.05, being a fell of sc. from yes-
terday. Railways, however, maintained in great
part the rise they experienced in the morning, and
closed with en improvement of from 2.50 to Mr. The
Austrian Railway did not vary.
There was a report at the bourse that the King of
Prussia was dead. It appears from the following
telegraphic despatch that he mast be seriously ill :
„Berlin, May 6.—The Prussian Moniteur an-
noncom that on Tuesday the King had an attack of
lever, which ceased on the following day, but that he
had a fresh attack on Thursday, which ceased last
night."
At the head of the official part of the Mottileur
appears the following letter addressed by the Emperor
to the widow of the late Minister of Marine:
Tailings, April 23.
My dear Madams Duous,—l am at a loos how to express
to you all that I felt On hearing of the death of the excellent
M. Dam, who has rendered me sack important services,
and shown so muck devotedasse to me. I above all thought

on my sentiments and those of the Empress; we shall be
happy to be able to assuage your misfortune. Accept the
assurance of my affectionate sentiments. NAPOLEON.
The Courrier de Saone-et-Loire has the following
relative to Pianori:
The mush' le well known here (Cbidon), where he
worked from the 4th July to the sth August, 1854, having
come from Lyons, and previously from Marseilles. He was
an Indefatigable workman, but of a sombre and taciturn
character. Not speskiag Frisch well, be had some diffi-
culty in making himself understood; as he amid sot, there-
fore, communicate with any one, he led the life of a misan-
thropist. One idea alone appeared paramount in his mind
—he wished to obit Paris—and in order to gain the money
accessary for his journey, he worked night and day. Some-
times, of a Ikeda', he might be seen fishing with a rod and
line oe the beaks of the &One, opposite the Cafe Parisian.
When Pianori wished 80 leave oar town, he demanded a
passport for Paris, but the Commissary of police categori-
cally refused him permission. His papers were afterwards
eise-el at his own request for London, tea Calais.

PARIS. SUNDAY STAMM

The outs craocauslion, or indictment of Planar',
contains a narrative of his conduct, so far as may be
known, from the time when he served in the Italian
war of independence, in 1849, to the moment of his
shooting at the Emperor on the 28th of April. um
most official documents of a similar character in
France, it abounds with declamatory and invective
comments on the behaviour and statements of the
accused. A portion of it is here extracted :

After a sojourn of soma months in Paris, he suddenly
started for London, when he says he stayed nearly three
months. What was his motive 'for leaving Franco? He
has not stated soy; bat it may be 'Armed with certainty
that it was not for want of work that he went to &sonar
country, since he never turned to good account the work
that was offered him in Paris. However this may be, he
arrived in London in the month of December, 1864, and
there all at once he found means to earn 60s. a weak (that
is to say, nearly 65fr.). Such is his deolasatios ; but he
says be ascot possibly tell who it was that antployed him
at these wages, nor the address of his employer, nor even in
what part of the town he lived. Pianori then, according
to his own statement, earned 65fr. a weak, and he further
says that he put by, out of that sm. or much as 301 r. •
