ROME.—We have letters from our own corre-
spondent at Rome, dated the 7th inst. The greatest
quiet reigned there. The Upper Chamber and the
Lower have made common cause. How long mat-
ters will remain in sfatu quo it is impossible
to say, but the conduct of the King of Naples cannot
evidently be tolerated long. He has stopped all in-
tercoures between the Pope and hie subjects, by ar-
resting the further progress of the Roman deputation
at the Neapolitan frontier. The French fleet appear-
ing off Civita has caused indignation at Rome, where
Mamiani made it a matter of comment in the Lower
Chamber on the Bth.

Martinis Saochetti has returned to Rome, on
the 13th inst., from Gaeta, where he had some diffi-
culty in obtaining an interview from the Pope, who
briefly told him belted provided for the affairs of Rome
by naming a commission. It is believed ceders have
been given to arrest General Znochi.
IVO' LBS.—Our correspondent's despatches, with
dates to the 7th inst. from Naples, have reached us.
The king and most of the royal family had gone, on
the 6th, to revisit the Pope at Gaeta. General Filen-
gieri had had a long interview with the French
admiral, Baudin. Mr. Temple had had another
audience of the king. The Bull Dog was to leave
Naples, on the 7th, foe Palermo, it was said with
Lord Napier on board. The king is, it maul,
determined to treat the Sicilians as rebels. The
Vengeance had left for Malta.
Prime &Arian° (General Filangieri) is to succeed
Prince Cariati is President of the Council and Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs. He is to be charged with con-
ducting the conferences in the Sicilian affair with Mr.

DUBLIN, Deo. 16.
Mr. Duffy was called on this day to plead to the
indictment found yesterday against him.
Mr. Butt, Q. C., on his behalf, objected while there
remained another indistment, that found at the last
commission, andispond of.
The Attorney-General moved the court that that
indictment be quashed.
Mr. Butt contended that it should be disposed of
by no/. pros., not by quashing it.
The Attorney-General was heard contra, and the
final decision of the question was adjourned until to-
morrow morning, in order to enable Mr. Butt to pre-
sent hie motion in the regular form, and on affidavit.
The following factsl have from an official quarter.
Inquiries have taken place inconsequence of the recent
complaints, so loudly made, charging the arrange-
ment of the challenges in the :recent trials by the
crown as guided by motives of religious antipathy.
The whole number of Roman Catholics directed
to " stand by " by the crown was 37 ; the number
of protes'ants set maids was 71. These figures
certainly do not sustain the charge on which the
recent memorial was grounded, and they do sustain
the statement in the acaolusion of his excellency's
answer.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne, of the 12th, states that the
federal troops which had been sent to the canton of
Tesino are about to return home, Neill that the
Italian refugees have withdrawn into the interior of
Switzerland, in conformity with the decree of the
federal council. The Pruseian envoy has replied, it
is said, to the letter of notification of the new
constitution of Switzerland, but in making a reserva-
tion of the canton of Neuchatel. The Minister of the
Interior of the Grand Duchy of Baden has ordered
all the authorities, military and civil, on the frontier
of Switzerland, to be particular in seeing that no per-
son shall enter the territory of Baden without a pass-
port; even persons poseemong papers en rig,e are not
to be allowed to remain on the 'frontier without de-
claring their business and the object of their journey.

enough to enable the voters to sustain themselves agai net

not the egricateral towns= the banks of the Thames,

Unenfranahised Healey and Maidenhead, two market
towns, have a community of interest with Great
Marlow and Wycombe ; and a cluster of these towns,
with an =tended !}enables and with protection to
the Toter, would be far more likely to return re
astatine fairly and wisely than can be procured in
the old and decayed towns. Every one of our agri-
cultural readers can, in his own district, group to-
gether towns which might be thus united, and by
means of which the distillation between the county
and the town representation could, if necessary, be
satisfactorily maintained.

GERMANY.

AUSTRIA.—We learn from Vienna, under date
Dec. 11, that hostilities had commenced in earnest in
Hungary. On the Bth the imperialiets had taken
possession of the castle of Sch'combo', three Germs
' miles from Presburg. Jellachich bad arrived
with his army on the banks of the Leith,. The
Emperor has appointed Herr Rueskefer (Chevalier
von Wellenthal) to the post of under-escretary of
state for commerce, trade, and public w.ake
PRUSSIA.—We have received the Berlin papers
of the 14th inst. The decision of the *head mistime
of the criminal court, respecting the trial by jury, has
not been ocaifirmed by the court in phew, upset the
ground that the 93rd article et the isastibeiliea nay
promised the introduction of the jury system; seen-
%wetly, the criminal court, or rather dis m heal mo-
tion," will continue, u before, to try, withont the aid
of a jury, parties harged with offences punishable
by death or imprisonment for life. This is a thrthee
proof of the deceitful nature of the new constitution.
BAVARIA.—The Archduchess Sophia of Austria
arrived at Munich on the 10th, with her children.
OLDENBURCI.—The civil list of this duchy has
been diminished by the diet from 180,000 thole?",
which was demanded by the government, to 100,000
theism. The civil list of the hereditary grand duke
was fixed at 15,000 tinders ; and the diet further de-
cided that the duchy could not make gnats for the
collateral deuendents of the grand ducal family.

ante or to the Improve

!moot of the national agncul-

ture. The peasants will be taught eelf-te.pect, and
the nobles humanity, by it. The chronic feuds which
now array clue against clue will be allayed. Above
all, the national attachment to the institutions which
have achieved such benefits for them will be con-
firmed.

This is but an isolated example of a substantial
gain which has accrued to a part of the German
people from the revolutionary movements of 1848.
The proceedings of the Berlin Constituent Assembly
supply other examples, and in an equal degree the
proceedings of the Constituent Assemblies at Vienna
and Frankfort. It is to facts like these that we
ought to look, and not to occasional riots and ministe-
rial changes, when we attempt to estimate the value
and importance of the German revolution of 1848.

SINCE we remarked the other day on the fiscal ine-
qualities of the three livings which constitute the
town and borough of Sunderland, the Rev. Dr.
WiLLEsLux' rector of by far the richest pariah of the
three, has i.eparted this life: and by his demise the
ecclesiastical commissioners and the Bishop of DUR-

nail have an opportunity afforded them of the
Church of England an essential service in that
borough. The living of Bishop Wearmouth, vacated
by Dr. WELLEHLEY'S death, is in the gift of the Bishop
Or DURHAM ; so there is no question of private
patronage in this case, to oppose the immediate
accomplishment of a great public benefit; and as
another of the three livings—the vicarage of Sunder-
land—is at present also vacant, and in the same gift,
there could not be a more advantageous time for
doing what the necessities of the case require; and
that is, the repartition of the three parishes forming
the town of Sunderland into a series of new parishes
quoad sacra, as has been done at Leeds.
We enforce on the attention of the Bishop of DUR-
HAM and the ecclesiastical commission the example
of a place so distant from Sunderland as Leeds, be-

cruse we know that nearer home they may find az
example which they certainly ought not to follow.
We refer to what hna been done at Houghton-lc-
Spring ; where, instead of dividing that large and
populous parish on the demise of its late incumbent,
the Rev. Dr. TRORLOW, the scheme of improvement
adopted wss the endowment of two or three subordi-
nate chapelries with a stipend of some 2001. or 3001.
a year each ; leaving a " prize" incumbency of some
1,6001. a year to be tilled up with one of the family of
the inevitable GRISTS, who are quietly monopolising all
the ecclesiastical " prizes" of the north. This is not
what Sunderland requires; but the erection of some
three or four new parishes, and equal endowments
for all their incumbents. And ea we fear that, as at
Houghton, some gross job will be perpetrated unless
the press be on the alert—we lose no time, after the
news of Dr. WELLE..LEVEI death has reached us, in
drawing public attention to the matter; resolved to
watch the case closely now that there is opportunity
to prevent mismanagement.

PARIS, MONDAY. 11.30, A.M.
The so'ialist banquet, at ls. 6d. a head, which took
place yesterday at the Barriers du Roule, was attended
by about 1,200 persons, including eight or nine mem-
bers of the Assembly M.M. Bac, Buvignier, Greppo,
Martin, Bernard, Laurent (de l'Ardeche), Prudhon,
Pierre Leroux, and Fayolle. M. Cabet and the other
notabilities of communism were of course present.
The customary round of toasts, with the usual plea
nisms in the phrases of democracy, were given.
The party of the Rue de Poitiers held a meeting on
Saturday evening, on the question of the prorogation
of the assembly during the interval between the
declaration of the constitution and the election
of the president. The result was what 1 anti-
cipated to my despatches of Saturday evening,
namely, the decision that the assembly should con-
tinue in session discharging those duties which the
country had confided to it.

PENINSULAR MAILS.

B the arrival at Southampton, this morning, of
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Mon-
roe., Copt. Bowen (Lieut. I. Inglis, R.N., Admiralty
agent), we have accounts to the following dates :
Gibraltar, 15th; Cadiz, 16th; Lisbon, 19th, and
Oporto, 20th inst. The Montrose has brought on
freight 35,0001. in specie, besides 12 packages of
bullion.
At Lisbon matters continued, to all appearances,
tranquil. The apprehension of cholera engrossed
public attention. All vessels arriving front continental
ports eastward of London had been placed in quaran-
tine for eight days, and the male regulations have ere
this been extended to vessels from ports in the United
Kingdom. The Iberia steamer -hes been reamed
prairie at Vigo, and the mails for that place and
Oporto were delivered through the health officers.
At Lisbon the exchange on London was 62,1 for 90
days, and 521 for 30 days. The Lisbon Bank notes
were at a discount of 40 per cent.

DRURT-LANE THEATRE. —M. Junin, haying
finished his opera season, has opened this theatre u a circus,
having imported the whole equestrian troupe from Frenconi's
Theatre at Paris. Last evening was their first night of per-
formance. The theatre is well fitted up for an entertainment
of this nature. The arena, or circle, is in the centre of the
house; end the pit and stage form two spacious amphithe-
atres, which, as well as the boxes, were crowded spee-
tators. As to the entertainments, they were much in the style
of Astley's, but without any dramatic representation,
though there were one or two clown,' who cracked
jokes in French and broken English. There was
first a series of gymnastic exerthes, by a troop of
voltigeurs, similar to whet we see at Astley's ; and these
were followed by a succession of male and female equestri-
ans' riding round the circle, and performing a variety of
cats of agility and address. Some of these, especially by
Fanny Stanley, 2ddlle. Emmeline Lambert, and
Male. Coralie DucA, were graceful and beautiful, as well
as surprising. The most distinguished of the lady performers
is Mdlle. Caroline, who rode a magnificent horse round the
circle, and, without the performance of any feat whatever,
made the most elegant exhibition of horsemanship (or horse-
womanship) we have ever witnessed. A little boy named
Loisset received enthusiastic applause ; his exploits, performed
a":. tremendous speed, being marvellous from their boldness
and the apparent ewe with which be performed them. A
quadrille and a waltz, danced by four ladies and four gentle.
men on horseback, were also exceedingly pretty and greatly
applauded. There was a sort of comic interlude, in which
one of the performers acted the part of a large Brazilian &IA
with surprising but rather disagreeable fidelity, and one of
the smallest of 'dwarfs made his appuranoe--also an object
more curious than pleasant. This performance was dull,
and spun out to an insufferable length. On the whole, how-
ever' the entertainments gave the greatest satisfaction to the
crowded assemblage of spectator; and this enterprise pro•
mists to be very successful.

COLONIAL.

NEW SOUTH WALES.—We adverted on a
former occasion to the extraordinary clause introduced into
the Masters and Servants Act while passing through the Le-
gislative Council of this assembly. The letter, from which
we now subjoin an extract relating to this matter, is dated
Sydney, Nov. 9, and was written by a perfectly unbiassed
party in the unreserved confidence of private communication.
We feel, therefore, the justice of its remarks may be relied on
" I mentioned in former letters that Mr. Benjamin Boyd
had imported some South Sea Islanders for shepherds. They
were sent to the Murray, and were doing well when the
government, aided by a few in the council, passed a law
(without precedent) to prevent the Masters and Servants Act
applying to them. This had no sooner been passed than the
white labourers made the interior most uncomfortable for
them, and by a well organised combination in iuced them to
abandon their occupations ; and when Mr. Boyd's superin-
tendents applied to the magistrates, they were told that in
consequence of the Masters and Servants Act they had no
powers to interfere. Many of them have come to Sydney,
and will be employed in the shipping, where they arc more
useful than white hands. The object of the Colonial Secre-
tary was to keep the monopoly of immigration in the hands
of the government, who are acting the part of the dog in the
manger, and neither import labour theinsels ea nor allow an
other persona to do so. It is supposed that a personal feel-
ing on the part of the Colonial Secretary (for he and Mr.
Boyd are not on terms with each other) had a good deal to
do with the paseiag of the set, and as it is repugnant to the
law of England I hope Lord Grey will disallow it."

bold claims in behalf of the sugar colonies ; and we should

COMMERCIAL If MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o o have advices from Berlin of the
failure of two houses of importance, said to have been
brought on by the fluctuations and panic in the stock
market. From Vienna, private letters report a heavy
fall in Metalliques and other Austrian securities. The
situation of the stock and money-market was considered
to be very critical, and should be a warning to the
government against embarking in any of the warlike
projects or armed interference in the affairs of Italy
attributed to it. From Amsterdam, on the sth, we
are told that no transactions in stocks had taken
place, and that the market was still disordered with
the reports of other failures.
At length the Paris Bourse his been re-opened. The
first quotation of the Three per Cent. rentes yester-
day was 58, but eventually, after some dealings, they
lett off at 56. The suspension of the banking com-
pany of Gouin and Co. was still the cause of great con-
sternation among the monied and commercial interests.
The government was beseiged with memorials and
with projects for coming to the assistance of industry,
and for supplying the deficiency of money and ac-
commodation, by the creation of banks, to:be endowed
principally out of the state funds with the competent
capital, not only for discounting commercial paper,
and making loans on securities, but for making ad-
vances on the deposit of all sorts of produce and
manufactured goods. These projects and memorials
originate not only from Paris, but from Rouen, Ilavre,
Lille, and other cities.
Oar stock market is heavy, in view of the dis-
heartening intelligence from abroad, although money
is still forthcoming for investment in the funds, as the
safest of all stock securities. Consols are now called
811 to 1, for both money and account. Reduced

La Passe, of this morning, regardless of the sword
of Gen. Cavaignac suspended over it, has resumed
its fierce invectives, and seems determined to provoke
suppression. The Constituticmnet has also resumed
its usual tone, and gives its leaders as before.
Great doubt prevail, as to the real intentions
of government in regard to Italy. Members
of the assembly who are usually well informed, ammo
me that they have been unable to ascertain whether
the government have or have not yet embarked troops
for the Adriatic. A leading and influential member
of the moderate party yesterday, in oonrernatu,
pat the (position dirfttly to a member of the
cabinet; the answer was evasive; the impremion
was, therefore, that troops.had been sent with secret

A disturbance broke out on the 2nd at Aides, m
the Lower Pyrenees. A barricade was raised, and
tbs revolt assumed so serious a form, that 400 men of
the 414 Regiment failed to quell it. Strong reinforce-

places. The origin of the disturbance was the resat-
ance of the people to pay the extraordinary tax of 43

DUBLIN, Ban. 6.
We had again to-day • heavy fall of rain, fur
which we were prepared, both from the fall in the
mercury of the barometer in the last two dais,
and by the exceeds.° lightning last night. I have
great hope, however, that this rain was merely topi-
cal, and confined to a very small circle arouud
Dublin. This afternoon, the sky has again become
serene, and the oppressive warmth has departed.

therefore, said his lordship intends to be present
at • review in the Pncenix-park to-morrow, when
oar mod rusticating public will have= opportunity of
visiting the green glades there, and at the same time
of seeing Great England's premier. The noble lord
visited a family estate at Ardvallagh, fs the county
Meath, yesterday. The distant)* is about twelve
miles from town. Lady Russell, ea also Sir W. So-
' mend* eesempanied his lordship. The party re-
turned to tows to dinner.
Lard Lansdowne, it is aid, will visit us this week,

It is stated, on good grour.ds, that the arrests of
parties connected with the late Dublin clubs will not
be pursued any further, unless now circumstances
should seem to demand it. There are, however, yet
in suspense several tomes of warrants. This deter-

AUSTRIA.—The Wiener Zeitung of the 31st nit.
contains a supplementarycommunication from M. Wes-
senberg to tho Count Montani, the papal envoy at
Vienna. It .ppoars to have been dictated by a de-
sire to soothe the Roman government as much as par
siblo. M. Wessenberg encloses Marshal Von Wel-
den'a note of the 13th August to Cardinal Marini, as
a document that Count Montani may not have seen ;
and expresses a hope thet the explanation therein
contained of the cirtuustanoes in which Austrian
troops had entered the Roman territory may appease
any excitement the incident may have ocosaionod at
Rome.

The same journal intimates the arrival of the new
governor of Galicia, the Chevalier Zaleski, at Cracow,
which has been definitively incorporated into that
government, and publishes his address to the citizens
of Cracow. He informs them that his instructions

are, until the constitution has been completed, to instal
an interim town council, elected by the citizens, to
preserve peace and order in Cracow. He is further
charged to re-organise the administration on the foot-
ing of 1847. His next task is to make arrangements
to compensate the landowners for the abolition of the
corrie. Lastly, he informs them that the Polish is to
be the official language in every instance, txcept in
the correspondence maintained with the supreme
government in Vienna.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Orr. 22.
The prominent political trials are now over. The
law has been vindicated and authority has triumphed.
Mr. Meagher's conviction closes those cases in which
the public felt, from many causes, a deep sad anxious
interest. That interest is now transferred to the
metropolis, and centred in the proceedings which are
being taken against Mr. C. G. Duffy. The great pro-
bability is, that after the trial of Orchard, the sentinel
of Mr. B. O'Brien'. body-guard at Killensule, and
"the Commons," together with a few others known
to have been personally engaged in the attacks on the
police, the commission at Clonmel will close, es a con-
tinuance of the proceedings would answer no advan-
tageous purpose. It is said that the Attorney-General
is already in Dublin, and that the conduct of the
future proceedings in Clonmel will be committed to
his learned colleague. Mr. Monaghan will himself un-
dertake in the case against Mr. Duffy, who is considered
by many to have been the real lea—the prime and
real mover in all the proceedings, arrangements, and
organisation which eventuated in the late abortive
outbreak.

Mr. Whiteside's retaining fee in the ease of Mr. B.
O'Brien was WO/.

The commission for the city and county of Dublin
was opened yesterday, by Justices Torrens and
Crampton. When the grand jurors were sworn,
Mr. Justice Torrens addressed &sm. His lordship
alluded to the proceedings at the last commission in
the eves of O'Dohe!ty, Duffy, and Williams, against
when the grand jury had found true bills for
feloniously publishing seditious libels in the Nation
end Tribune newspapers. With these cases, of
j course, the present grand ury would have nothing
to do; but as the law officers of the Crown were at
present engaged at the special commission in
Memel, he could not state whether or not any new
matter of importance would be sent before them by
the Attorney-General, on his return to town. There
was a case to which he felt it hie duty to allude—
one which arose out of the late unfortunate political
excitement which had disturbed the peace and
endangered the prosperity of the country—he meant
the charge against Michael Moran, John Moran, and
John M'Cormick, for stabbing • police.oonstable while
in the execution of hie duty. If they (the grand jury)
were satisfied with the evidencethat would be offered
is support of the charge, they would find true bills.
After some further remarks, his lordship concluded,
and the grand jurors retired to consider the indict-
ments sent before them.
Constable Byrne, who was stabbed in Georges-street,
bat July, by the three confederates sheet to be tried
for that offence, appeared in the court-hosse in
Green-street, en crutehea. He still appears delicate,
and it is more than probable the brave fellow will
never fully recover the us of his limbs. He has been
superannuated on full pay-431. a-year. The Lord-
Lieutenant presented him with a gratuity of 301., and
a private subscription, some time on foot for him,
amounts to between 2001. and 3001. It is all too little
for the services rendered by him, and the sufferings
he has endured from his wounds.

ITALY.

The Federal Gaulle of Zurich publishes letter
from Arona of the 15th, which state that Charles
Albert is marching on Milan, with 100,000 men ;
30,000 are to march on. Piacenza. The Courier de
Marseille of the 19th, quoting advioes from Genoa
the 14th, soya: "This evening several companies of
artillery will leave for Alessandria. On the 16th the
brigade of the Queen will march for the same place.
The departure of the brigade Aorta, in the direction
rd Berms, is also announced."
The 411,a of Florence, of the 15th, under date of
Leghorn, the 13th, says: " The captain of the &Mi-
nima steamer 11 Virgilio, arrived this morning, sa-
meness that, on his departure from Genoa, the Na-
*sal Guard had been mobilised, and were ready to
amok u well as 23,000 troops of the line."
Awarding to general report, Charles Albert had
desired that, if the Austrians did not immediately
evacuate Italy, he would, on the 20th, be under the
walla of Milan.

AUSTRIA.—In Pesth and Ofen the cholera pre-
vailed within the last few days. It is confined chiefly
to the low parts of the town, where there is a great
want of cleanliness. In the upper part of the Blocks-
berg, and in the fortress, it has not yet had any
victoria. Precautionary measures had been adopted,
and part of the barracks has been arranged for a
cholera hospital.
' The Magyar army, which was informed by Kossuth
of the abdication of the Emperor, has everywhere
taken up a defensive position. Rub is completely
surrounded by entrenchments. Kossuth's army
amounts to about 160,000 men, but it is clear that the
holiness is not considered national, and that the
burghers of the cities and the rural population ar-
dently desire peace.
PRUSSIA.—We have received the Berlin papers
of the 16th inst.

The town-council of Berlin has resolved by a ma-
jority only, of 2 (46 to 44) to forward an address to
the king, thanking him for the pant of the new con•
stitution ; regarding which it is to be observed, that
of that constitution those clauses of the 22nd article
which provide that no payment shall be required for
instructions in public schools, had been peremp-
torily set aside by the so-called " school deputation
of Berlin, upon the ground that those clauses cannot
be carried into effect before the promulgation of the
laws on education. The same " deputation" has also
refused to do away with the small payment in the
" city poor schools"—(in dem straltiselien iirmenchw
