THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1848.

There is no doubt that when the chambers meet all
the reforms demanded by the people will be granted.
From Hesse Cassel, we learn that on the ith a cir-
cular was published at Cassel, in which the states are
convened for the 11th of March, and that projects of
law would be submitted to that body on the freedom
of the press and other questions of general interest
to the country.
Intelligence from Munich of the 6th inst., states
that a proclamation had been issued, signed by the
king and the ministers, in which a promise is made
that the reforms demanded by the people will be pre-
sented as projects of law in the assembled states.
Freedom of the press is now granted in Bavaria.
Baron Thon-Dittmer has been named Minister of the
Interior. In the whole of Bavaria the intelligence of
the royal proclamation has caused the greatest joy.
At Wnrtzburg there was an illumination and other
symptoms of popular joy, on the Bth.
The troops took the oath on the constitutions, at
Munich, on the 6th. In the evening the town was
to be illuminated.
At Nuremberg joy also prevailed, and an illumine-
Lion had also been decide d on.
In the Gland Duchy of &idea some disturbances
have taken place. Blisgan being the theatre of
hostile demonstrations against the Jews. Mulheim
and Einmendingen especially were the scenes of these
disorders.
It appears that the King of Hanover has forwarded
anew a protest to the Germanic Diet against the
incorporation of the "Danish" duchies with Denmark

- -
Proper.
The Oberpostatnts-Zeittmg, of Frankfort, contra-
dicts, in the most positive manner, the assertion that
Gen. Radowitz had proceeded to Vienna from Berlin, in
order to negotiate a defensive alliance between Aus-
tria, Prussia, and R 1113.914. It adds—that Prussia will
wait to see what turn affairs will take in France, and
that it seeks for no other alliance than that of united
Germany. The sole object of Gen. ltadowitz's mission
is to communicate to the Austrian cabinet the views
of Prussia respecting the measures to be taken fot in-
creasing the means of defence of the Germanic Confe-
deration : should there be question of making with any
other state, not a German one, arrangements tor taking
other defensive measures, that state (observes the
above journal in conclusion) would be, undoubtedly,
England.
Immense sums of money have been conveyed under
military escort through Salzburg for the Austrian
army in Italy.
On the 7th inst. the troops of Hesse Darmstadt took
the oath of allegiance to the constitution. The popu-
lar demands were complied with, and, on the evening
of the above date, the city was brilliantly illuminated.

BRUSSELS; MARCH 11.

More than a week ago I stated in one of my corn-
munications,that I had good grounds for knowing that
King Leopold had given his ministers full permission ,
to make any proposition to him which they might think
advantageous for Belgium, and I added that his
Majesty was prepared for any event which might
occur. By degrees the sentiments expressed by the
King have oozed out amongst the public, and the
Ponape of this morning alludes to them in terms
which admit of no misconception. After contending
that the Belgian chambers ought to be dissolved, in
order to give the country an opportunity of expressing
its sentiments with respect to the influence exer-
cised by the French revolution in Belgium, the above
journal adds, that royalty has declared that, faithful to
the law of ekvotedness which it had imposed on itself
when it undertook the mission of placing the nation
in the rank of independent powers, it was ready to
be effaced (effacer) if the country considered that
royalty would compromise it in the eyes of republican
/1-ance.
I may now add that the above were all but the
exact words employed by his Belgian Majesty. The
Paitigue, which was the organ of the Nothomb minis-
try, and which has long been one of the leading
journals of the country, then proceeds as follows :
By that declaration royalty has rendered homage
to the sovereignty of the nation. If the country be
tempted to follow the example of France it will
choose representatives known for their republican
tendencies. If ou the contrary, that example will
only confirm the attachment of Belgium to the con-
stitutional rl.gime. The election will give rise to an
unequipocal manifestation." The above journal con-
cludes by arguing that it is in a time of calm like
the present in this country—a calm which no one
knows how long it will last—the expression of the
nation's opinion on the above grand question should be
elicited. Such an article is significant.
The Senate has voted the bill for extending the
suffrage.
On the sth inst. there were 13,62.5,174 kilos. of
corn in the Antwerp entrepot.
The Antwerp Chamber of Commerce assembled
yesterday, in order to draw up an address to the'
government, requesting it to suspend, during six
months, the measures relative to vessels putting in at
intermediate ports between transatlantic ones and
Belgium. The object of the address is chiefly, if not
solely, to allow vessels touching at Cowes for orders
to have the benefit of the differential duties in favour
of direct importation. Hitherto vessels bound to
this country from America, but putting in at Cowes,
have been deprived of those advantages. It is very
probable that the government will accede to the
wishes of the above Chamber of Commerce.
The government, is order to come to the aid of the
lace manufacturers at Bruges, has resolved to advance
to them large sums of money without interest, the
repayment to be made gradually after the crisis has
passed. The budget of the Minister of Justice &rifle
year 1848 is fixed at 12,707,893 francs. The salary
of the minister is 21,000 francs.
It is now all but certain that the failure of the com-
mercial bank of Antwerp will not have the prejudicial
results that were anticipated, and that, after all, little
or no loss will be ultimately experienced by the par-
ties concerned. Late events, it may be added, have
not acted very injuriously on commercial houses in
Antwerp, a city which has always been remarkable
for its prudence, and its aversion to inordinate or even
spirited speculation.

Regiment on board, for St. Jean Nicaragua, for the
purpose of demanding the release of some British
subjects, and also to protect the flag of his Mosquitian
?dainty, whose territorial rights the British govern-
ment is bound by treaty to maintain.
Col. Fremont has been found guilty of all the
charges preferred before the court-martial, of mutiny,
disobedience of orders, and conduct unbecoming an
akar. The court decreed dismissal from the service,
the lesser penalty of the law, but recommended him
to the lenity of the President by a vote of seven to
six. The President dissented from the court on the
charge of mutiny, but approved the finding on the
other two. He then remitted the sentence, and
ordered him to duty. It is said Col. Fremont has
resigned.

sisting of Sir Lucius O'Brien, Major Bleekall, Mr. John
O'Brien, and Lict.-Col. Dunne, had an interview with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday, at his official resi-
dence in Downing-street, to ascertain whether it is the in-
tention of government to bring in a bill to amend the act
2 Vic. c. 1, for the purpose ot getting the unfinished works
in Ireland completed; else, to ascertain whether, in re-ad-
vancing whatever repayments may be made of the advances
ot last year under the Relief Acts, this object will be kept
principally in view. A farther suggestion woe made to the

these repayments should have a prior claim for re-advanci•
whether for public works or fur actual drainage, or under

ILLNEss OF LORD JOHN ItUsSELL.—We learn (says
the Sunday Times), from a source upon which we are di s•
posed to place the greatest reliance, that the health of the
noble Premier is so affected that he is not likely to take a
part in the debates of the House of Comnrms so long as he
shall continue to be a member of that house, and that it in
in contemplation to elevate his lordship to the peerare. It
Soak* understood that his lordship has expressed a desire t.
be relieved at once from the anxious duties incidental to his
office, and public rumour poin•s to Lord Clarendon, tbe
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as his lordship's successor—the
leadership of the Commons to be given to Lord Palmerston.
It is confidently stated that the subject was amongst the
matters discussed in the Cabinet Council yesterday.
APPOINTMENT TO TIIE SEE OF CHESTF,IL—Dr.

Tile Ex-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.—The ex-
Bing and Queen of the French remain in retirement at

circle. The ev•King takes occasional airings in a private
carriage in the vicinity of his retreat, and is everywhere re-
ceived wi'h the moot marked respect by the inhabitants of
the neighbourhood. This remark also applies to the younger
branches of the illustrious exile's family, the Duke de Ne-
mours and the Duke de Moutpensier, both of whom fre-
quently walk in the vicinity of Claremont. Two officers
of the A division of police are stationed at Claremont, for
the protection of the royal exiles, but their oilier is quite a
sinecure, few strangers being seen in the locality. The
Countess Granville paid a visit to the ex-King and Queen on
Saturday. Yasterdsy his excellency the Austrian ambaa
sadur was among the distinguished personages who visited
the ex-monarch. The Count and Countess Jarnsc were
also at Claremont several hours yesterday. The ex-royal
family attended divine service yesterday, at the catholic
chapel, We)bridge.

THE INTENDED DEMONSTRATION ON
KENNINGTON-COMMON.
The Observer contains the following formidable
programme of the precautions which have been taken against
any disturbance which may arise out of the meeting adver.
tised to be held on Kennington-common to-day and in
order to prevent a repetition of those disgraceful scenes en-
acted during the three first days of the week, the following
regulations have becu decided upon by the Comatissioners
of Police:
i (1. All the mounted men who are not at present attaehed to the
head divisions of their respective quarters, are to repair to them
on the 12th (yesterday), at which plam the superintendents are re-
quested to arrange for themes and homes being properly quartered
fur the night. On Monday morning the s:oeral lu, tie., under the
dinetion of an inspector and sergeant, will proceed to teas up
their posts at Bud's livery stables, Kennington cross, at 9 a.m.
1. The officer in charge of each party will report his arrival
le Ihdierinlendent Williamson, of the 1' division, who will be there to
rode eilmseand of the whole, and wait for further orders. S. The so-
parintemderda moat be particular to observe that the men mad Imess
sent from each division are properly equipped. 4. The number of
mounted men front each dividon, 4 prevent ordered, will be as fol-
lows: LI e, R dt, 08, N 10, T 15, V 14, P 12. 5. The several detach-
ments will move forward from the different stations at such an hour
ea to enable them to arrive at their destination at 9 a.m. 6. Supers
Intendeats Rote of the L, Robinson of the P, and Bicknell
of the V divisions, are to communicate with the hurch-
wardens and other authorities in their respective parishes, in
order that steps may be taken to swear in as large a body of special
sionstables as has been dune in other parhthes. 7. The magistrates
will attend at the several police courts at nine o'clock on Monday
morning, and have received instructions from the Secretary of state
to swear in those parties willing to become epochal constables.
Independent tithe following regulatigis, the commissioners
have since sent an order to the several oilmen in the metro-
polis that they wall abstain from selling powder or shot to
any person to-day, and by so doing they will materially
aid in carrying out the regulations of the police. Orden
have likewise been sent to have the whole of tile broken
granite that has been laid down to repair the road in the
immediate vicinity of Kennington-common removed, The
military are ordered to be all under anns ; the different
public offices, as well as the Bank of England aud Bucking-
ham Palen, have an extra guard ordered to remain on duty
the whole of the night. The Metropolitan and City Police
are to be placed in companies in sob quarters as to prevent
any proccnions from paging through the public thorough-
fares. The gunsmiths in London have been requesied, and
have agreed to unscrew the barrels of all fire-arms in their
possession, so that in the event of a seizure being made by
the rabble, the weapons will be perfectly useless. The mili-
tary will also be placed in such positions that in case of any
emergency they will be ready at a moment's notice to twist
the police and civil pow. rs.
It is not the intention of the commissioners to prevent the
me. ting taking place, but nothing in the shape of proces-
sions or large bodies of people will lie allowed to pass
through the streets of the metropolis. Should the meetine
last beyond the hour of six in the evening the some will
be declared illegal, aud tne ground will be cleared of the
populace.
We may add that the 52nd Foot, from Portomou'h, which
has had the route for Manchester for some days past, and
the 16th Lancers, which has been under orders 4n Ipswich
and Norwich, are to move early this morning, so as
to be in London daring the day. A vast number
of persons of all ranks have been sworn in as special
constables. Oa Saturday, at the Thames court, some
four hundred coalwhippers were sworn In for the parish of
Sc. Paul's, Shadwell.—At Marlboroughatre‘ t, Mr. Hard-
wick was employed almost without intermission in swear-
ing in special constables. Several hundreds of persona of the
greatest respectability were sworn in, amongst whom were
Lord Glenelg, Lord Foley, the Earl of Charlemont, Mr.
Gladstone, M.P., Mr. E. Stanley, M.P., Col. Darner, Mr.
John Broome, and his brother, a prize fighter.—At the
Lambeth Court, the first person who attended before Mr.
Norton to be sworn in was Mr. Onslow, the deputy clerk of the
he
peace for the county of Surrey, and a number of other gentle.
men subsequently followed kis example.—At the ,laryleboste
court several gentlemen were sworn in.—And at 13 iw-street
during the entire day, greatnumbers of the inhabitants of the
surrounding parishes, amongst whom were most of the clerks
from the banking houses of Mean. Drummond and Messrs.
Coutts, attended at the court for the purpose of being sworn
in as special constables. Mr. Henry informed them that
each had power to act, not only in the parish to which they
belonged but in every parish throughout the Metrop ditan
Police District, and that by the 11th clause of the Ist and 24
Will. IV., cap. 41, any person assaulting them, or resisting
them in the execution of their dut7, rendered himself liable
to s penalty of 201,—a fact which his worship observed should
be generally known.

PUBLIC DDIDER TO Sill IL E. F. YOUNG.—
On Saturday the friends of South Australia gave a public
dinner to Sir H. E. F. Young, the newly appointe, gover-
nor of that colony. The chair was filled upon the occasion

by Mr. W. W. Whitman, and from 40 to 60 gentlemen eat
down to a meat samptaons entertainment, provided is the
usual style of the Albion. The utmost cordiality prevailed
during the evening, and the usual complimentary toasts
were proposed by the chairman, and most warmly received.
Sir H. Young returned thanks In most appropriate terms
for the manner in which his health was drunk, and assured
the company that his best efforts would be devoted to de-
'elope the moral and materiol interests of South Australia.
Colonel Oawler, late governor of the colony, was one of
the party, and during the evening entered into an able vin-
dication of his administration in South Australia, which he
complained had been unjustly assailed by a committee of
the House of Commons. Much was said of the mining and
agricultural resources of the colony, which were represented
as equal in extent to those of any ether portion of the British
possessions.
DINNER TO LORD FALRLAND.—On Saturday the
directors of the East India Company entertained Viscount

*rent members of the court, and others connected with In
dian affairs.
INSTRUCTION OF TUE Poor..—Yesterday, the Rev.
T. Binary opened one of these useful but unostentatious in-
stitutions identified with the ragged-school movement. The
building, which is situated in Darby-street, Rosemary-lane,
has been erected at a cost of about 1,1004 It is commodious
end lofty, well fitted for the purpose for which it is intended
—a ragged cathedral and school, worked and sustained by
voluntary agency. It is stated that considerable success has
already attended the efforts made to instruct the poor of this
densely populated locality; and that the building is designed
Is part to accommodate persons who were previously accus-
tomed to meet in less eligible premises.
CLOSE OF BA%KS AT FOUR INSTF.AD OF FIVE
O'CLobi, p.at—The following printed notice, without sig-
nature or authentication of any kind, has been sent to us, we
presume for publicttion :—" A numerous body of the mer-
cantile and treeing interests of London having signified their
approval of bankers closing their counter business at four
o'clock, instead of five o'clock, as at present, notice is hereby
given, that on and after the let of May next, the Bank of
Englend, the City Bankers, and the Joint Stock Banks will
close for the receipt and payment of money at four o'clock in
the day. 11th March, 1543."
DEATII OF SIR WILLIAM YOUNG, BART.—This
venerable baronet, whose recent conviction for the illegal
sale of East India cadetships is fresh in the recollection of
our readers, died on Friday lost, at his residence in West-
bourne-terrace, Hyde-park, aged seventy-tire, He had been
latterly in a very delicate state of health ; so debilitated in-
deed was he, that the result of the trial was never communi-
cates' to him, and arrest of judgment on his behalf was moved
for last term by Mr Cockburn. He is succeeded in his title
by his eldest eon, John, M.P. for Cavort county, and late
mercury to the Treasury.
RESI'ITE OF ANNETTE MnrEas.—The sentence of
death passed upon this wretched woman has been respited.
On Saturday evening Mr. Cope, the governor of Newgate, re-
ceived from Sir George Grey an official intimation that ex-
ecution of the wretched woman was to be respited during her
Majesty's pleasure. This is equivalent to on entire reprieve
of the capital sentence. Mr. Cope lost no time in communi-
cating the gratifying intelligence to the unhappy woman;
it appears that she was but little moved by the intelligence,
retaining the sullen sod indifferent manner which has pecu-
liarly characterised her since haf confinement.
FIRES.—On Saturday and yesterday fires occurred

case the mischief was discovered sufficiently early to give
the firemen a fair opportunity of subduing the fire, which
they did before any very great amount of damage was done.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MARCH 10.

The government is taking all due precautions to
preserve order. The barracks of the metropolis
have all been provisioned with pork and biscuit.
The military authorities are all on the gui tire,
although nothing appears to excite the appre-
hensions of the citizens. The Lord Mayor has been
informed that the necessary amount of force, military
and police, will be at his disposal.
The Earl of Clarendon will not proclaim down the
meeting of the 17th or 25th, whichever it be. He
has simply informed tho Lord Mayor that the go-
vernment will hold him responsible for the public
peace and safety of the city. Such a wise and grace-
ful concession cannot fail to produce the best effect,
and render every citizen interested in the maintenance
of tranquillity.
There was another large meeting of the confederates
on last evening, very crowded and very noisy. The
cause of the agglomeration was the presence of Smith
O'Brien, who came over to forward the cause of
" Forgiveness and Fraternity." He was the chief
speaker, and harangued much in the usual style,
with an occasionally stimulating dash, which pro-
yoked " vehement cheers and waving of bats." He
offered to present himself at the Hotel de Ville " to
tell the Provisional Government that the Irish people
invoked French sympathy." This is keeping close to
the wind of law and loyalty. But the main object of
his sudden appearance was to promote the principle of
fraternisation, and merge the sections of Young and
Old into " All Ireland." How the Old will relish
the alliance remains to be seen, more especially
when a succeeding orator to Smith O'Brien ex-
pressed it as " his conviction that all honest men in
this country are now bound to arm," the rogues being
left to their natural resources. The Repeal Associa-
tion will not sanction this doctrine of "musket and
sabre." Mr. Duffy was peculiarly pathetic on the
occasion. It was the era of fraternity and forgiveness,
and he proved himself a model for both these virtues
in offering the right hand to " his friend John
Mitchell." Citizen Daffy desired to embrace again
Citizen Mitchell, and he trusted that on some future
day " they would join hands (with hearts, of course,
in them) in an Irish assemblage on College-green."
So you see Mr. Duffy already eanvasees for seats in
the Irish legislature " for self and friend." The
council to re-organise conciliation is fixed for the 13th
of April, the anniversary of independence. After the
meeting, the advanced guard of the army of the confede-
ratien passed over Carlisle-bridge, singing and shouting.
Prominent among their exclamations were, " A Re-
public," " Glorious France,"" United Ireland." These
" pioneers of liberty" marched to the Castle gates,
and greeted " the Irish soldiers." After a " groan for
Lord Clarendon" they separated.

ADDRESS or TOE THUM CONDEDIIIUTIO.It.—The following
foolish and inflammatory address was issued last night from
the Music-hall.
Anuses or rue Coarsen. or rue lusts CONIKORTATIOII TO TEE
FIONA or Imu.son—Fellow Ceuntrymen,--In a circular addreeed
to its trim...nut ire. at foreign courts, the great French repubhc has
ripe colter, through the most illustrious of its laments Thus we
declare it openly, if the hour of the reronstrection of nationalities
long oppressed in Europe or ehewhere should appear to ug to have
sounded In the decrees of Providence, the Preach Republic would
believe itoell entitled to arm for the protection of Move legit--
mate movements for the greatness and nationality of Mateo."
Three nationalities there are 'long oppressed" in Bayou—ltaly
Poland—lreLind. The hoar for Italy's redemption has already
solvated—the bleeding breast of Poland heaven with the breath of
returning lire. Shall Ireland alone remain buried In darkness, while
her MA.n are eme^ging into liberty and light' When the boar shall
have pounded when the virtaes of nationhood shall appear, and the
lite@ of provincialism shall be conquered And trodden down— when
foleekood, cowardice, end oafishness shall be met aside and regarded
with sawn—when courage, Pelf sacrifice, and mutual love shalt mark
the conduct of tke peo .le, then Ulan we be in a position to call upon
the great protectress of oppressed nationalities to redeem her pledge.
When shall this hour have sounded Whether in • month, in a year
or never, depend", brother Irishmen, upon you. A voice—" We are
ready" (eheerol.) If. upon the thresh.dd of thfs new career, we
will blot out all recollections of put injury from our hears—if,
with hand clasped in hand, we will swear before Heaven that we
will he true to each other—that no evil influence shall divide wa—
lled no danger shall turn no hack—then be of good hope, for the hour
of deliverance in at hand, and a good and pitying God will not hare
sent us this flair opportunity in vain. Goursge, forgiveness, and fra-
ternity—these are the virtues of the hour. Listen to the warning that
ts written In every Page of the history of our mrvitude —the croft of
the tyrant la more fuenaideb:e than his strength. Reptiles, whose
breath O poison, will crawl around your gem whispering suspicion,
ridiculing all manly sentiment, decrying bold courses, un-
dermining your confidence, and chilling the ardour of your
hopes—you mull tread these reptiles beneath your feet.
Be prudent; when boldness heart the safety of a cause, it becomes
rashness. Be prudent, but not for youreelves. The man who now
shrinks from pereonal risk most stand aside, he is fit neither to
lead nor to follow. To w,L,,,,,purpose do we caress our admiration
of the heroes who braved h for liberty, dwe ourselves are fright-
ened by the " meehes of the law ?•, Freedom smiles not aeon cowards;
she turns her radiant face away from those who will not woo her in
the midst of danger. For our/elver, brother Irishmen, we have but
one request—that we may be suffered to share the labour and the
danger of your struggle, as we hope to particieele in the fruits of
your triumph ; we are ready to forget our party, our injuries, and our
prude, fur the sake Moor country. In her service, humiliation—and
danger—and secritke —and death, are welcome to us. Wherever we
are required we shall be ptepeo t, indifferent as to whether our port
be bumble or exalted. Whoecer on we shall follow— inaistmg
only that we shall go forward—forward, though graves were to
rizr.and gibteta to frown acrossour path.—:Signed) J. B. DII.IAN,

Mr. John O'Connell applied, by way of antidote to the
disorderly tendencies which impregnate Mr. Dillon's brochure,
a peace address, which appeared in a second edition of the
Freeman of this day, from which we make the following
extra-t;
The very men who write and talk wildest and otrcragert would be
the very Brat to abandon you if you did allow them to etimalate you
into violence and rebellion.
Recollect, I beseech of you, the experience we had ia 1849 of the
value of big words, written or spoken. Pour of the men whose veld
language was heavily cited against us al our trials hang Out ant
eared tnemeelves, lensing innocent perms to bear the consequences
ea allmen.

guilty of having, on the night of the 13th day of November,
at Ballybroph, in the Queen's County, murdered one
Michael Smith, by striking him with a stick or stone
on the left side of the head. Chief Justice Doherty
sentenced him to be executed on the 23rd instant. Tile
prisoner received his sentence in a kneeling posture, and
did not demean himself in that reckless manner which
marked his conduce on the previous evening. He had to
be supported by two turnkeys, on his removal.

garet Nolan, at Carlow Graigue, was sentenced to be bung
on Thursday, 20th April. While paring sentence, the

reprieve, my lord." On his lordship assuming the sable
emblem of death, the prisoner fainted, and she had to be
su.tained in the dock by the matron.

THE IRISH COLLEGES.—New STATUTES.—The Tablet
has learned that sew statutes for the Irish Provincial Colleges
hare been prepared and are on their way to Rome.—lt is
expected—such are the preparations already made in the
lloly City—that these new statutes will give the utmost esti,.
faction ; and at the earliest possible moment a new rescript,
practically at variance with the former, is confidently
looked fur.

Winnow which had recently taken place all public out
demonstrations were put aside, and the event was
merely commemorated by a dinner in the &Word Town-
hall, in the afternoon, at which the 113374 T presided.

A RAILWAT happenedACCILENT cn Sunday Min-
