NEWS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, THURSDAY istoaxiso.
The following is the composition of the new minis-
try, formed nod presented to the Assembly last night
by General Cavaignac as President of the Council :
Seward lnterior.
Bastide Foreign Affairs.
Goudehaux ..Finance.
Ikthmont ....
Lamoricierc War.
Carnot
Thouret Commerce.
Re curt Public Works.
Admiral Leblanc Marine
The first five of these name. were received in the
assembly with an expression of general satisfaction,
but when the name of the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion was pronounced, a burst of indignation issued
from the assembly, of which it is totally impossible
to convey any adequate description. Murmurs of dis-
approbation also followed the announcement of the
Minister of Public Works • and the name of the
Minister of Marine produced an explosion scarcely
Ices violent than that which followed the an-
nouncement of the .Minister of Public In-
struction. On retiring from the tribune, and
resuming his place, General Cavaignac appeared, by
his manner, to be deeply sensible of this manifestation of
the assembly. An attempt was made, on the techni-
cal objection of not being a member of the assembly,
to exclude Admiral Leblanc, but was set aside by
M. l/upia Aine, who showed that the powers given
to General Cavaignac for the nomination of a ministry
were unqualified.
I leant this morning that Gen. Changarnier, who
arrived lust night from Algeria, has been, or will be
immediatey appointed commander-in-chief of the
National Guards of Paris and the Baulieu, and that
Gen. Bedlam will be appointed governor of Paris.
The election for the presidency of the Assembly,
vacated by M. :Jenard, will take place to-day. It is
understood that M. Defame will be elected.
A review of the National Guards of the depart-
ments took place yesterday morning in the Place de
la Concorde, in the presence of the President and the
members of the assembly. The defiling lasted three
hours. Every National Guard carried with him pro-
visions, some in their haversacks, others at the end of
their muskets. This had a pictutesque effect. After
the defiling they went to their respective quarters,
the distributions of provisions were made, and these
brave fellows breakfasted in the open air.
1,000 men of the national guard of Bordeaux are
expected this evening. They have embarked for
Nantes, and would have arrived this morning at
Tours. Letters from Bordeaux of the 25th announce
that the evening before the artillery of the National
Guard of Bordeaux had set off for l'aris.
The payment of the dividends on the consolidated
funds, which became due the 22nd of this month,
commenced on Tuesday, to be continued till the sth

FRANCE.

A portion of the following appeared in a second
edition of last evening's Express:
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Napoleon Lebon and Kersausie, both chiefs of the
insurrection, have been arrested.
General Changarnier arrived in Paris this morning.
At the sitting of the Assembly to-day,
General Cavaignac declared that he &sired
to restore to it the extraordinary powers which it
ha.l conferred upon him. lie observed that the state
of siege which exists did not necessarily infer the
existence of a dictatorship, and that the latter was
now unnecessary, and ought not to be allowed to cwt.
tinue ; but that the state of siege ought not yet to
be removed. Ile concluded by announcing that the
ministers had authorised him to give their collective
resignation.
M. Flocon then made a speech which was not
listened to.
The thanks of the Assembly were then voted to
General Cavaignac. General Cavaignac proposed that
the army, the National Guard, and Garde Mobile
should be included in this vote, which was agreed to.
A similar vote was passed to the President of the
Assembly, and a tribute was offered to the memory
of the Archbishop of Paris.
M. Martin (de Strasbourg) then proposed the
following decree:—" The Assembly confers the
executive power on General Cavaignac, with the title
of the President of the Council of Ministers, with
authority to appoint the cabinet." This was voted
without serious opposition. The presidency was voted
to Gen. Cavaignac unanimously, and the power to
name the cabinet by a large majority. The session
was then suspended till 8 o'clock.
M. Vatrin, lieut.-col. of the 6th Legion, is said to
have been arrested to-day, by order of Lien. Lama-
riciere. After having been admitted to the conference
on the plan of the attack, he was taken in the ranks
of the insurgents.
M. Odillon Barrot is named president of the com-
' mittee of inquiry into the conspiracy of the 23rd
June and lath May.
The fact, which was contradicted, relative to the
Comte de Narbonne, was perfectly co:rect we heard
' it certified this very morning by eye witnesses.
• Baying been taken into custody, in company with his
valet, behind a barricade, and being bearer of a sum of
4,000 francs in gold, he was immediately shot,
as well as his valet-de-chambre, by order of Com-
' mandant Aufry, the governor of the Luxembourg.
' On all sides the barricades are destroyed, and the
' circulation free. The shops are open in the Faubourg
St. Antoine, and the crowd of visitors is immense.

sideration money had boen returned.—The court granted the
application.
PURCHASING AN 01,71C1.—MS. Cressy moved on behalf
of a gentlemen named Fein, against a barrister whose
name would appear in the affidavit in the caw, to set aside
a warrant of attorney. The circumstances under
which this application was made were shortly these :—ln
the year 1843 the present defendant was called to the bar,
andlaving held the office of clerk to the magistrates, it was
agreed that Mr. Few should succeed him on the payment of
OM a year for five years. The salary of the office was 6001.
per annum. It was necessary to have a second warrant
of attorney, owing to the magistrates entertaining some
distrust as to the transaction. Mr. Peen was ap-
pointed to the situation, hut being 1601. in arrows of
the 2001. which had been covenanted to be paid to the defen-
dant, judgment was entered upon the warrant of attorney.
and Mr. Feat wive thrown into Whiteeroas street Prison.
The object of the p t motion was that ho might he dis-
charged out of custody, and the whole proceedings set aside,
as the sale of an office was illegal.—Mr. Justice Wightman
said the learned counsel should apply again, and bring the
matter before the full court.
Jon e. Jon.—FAMILY Drertrrns.—ln this caw, which
stood over from Saturday last for his lordship's decision, the
learned judge now said, that after carefully reading the affl•
davis in the case, he thought the defendant should be dis-
charged out of custody, as there was no reason fur believing
that he intended to leave the country, but he ought to cuter
an appearance to the writ of summoas.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The latest accounts from Copenhagen, received at
Hamburg on the let of June, represent the negotia-
tions for peace as advancing favourably. The latest
accounts from Schleswig represent the advance of the
Danes as less decided than was at first apprehended.
The castle of Gravenstein wu on Tuesday last still
occupied by the troops of the confederation, and the
Danes had not advanced upon Apenrade. A Danish
man-of-war, however, lay off the town, and
occasionally threw a bomb into it. The
alleged battle at Sudewitt has dwindled
to an inconsiderable skirmish. Fugitives from

North Schleswig_ continue, however, to crowd
into Alton' and Hamburg. The evacuation of Jut-
land by the Prussians is now said to have been occa-
sioned not by the threats of Russia but by the pro-
mises of England. In this belief considerable anxiety
prevails es to what will be the conduct of the English
ministry on learning that Denmark has taken advan-
tage of the Prussian retreat to advance into the
duchies. M. Reedtz, chamberlain to his Danish Ma-
jesty, has left Copenhagen for London. Dr. Wienberg
and M. Rauditz have been despatched to Frankfort by
the Rendsburg provisional government.

BAIL COURT.

Sitting in Ranee, before Mr. Justice wiglitman.
BLAND O. LOAD ALVANLEY.-Bir F. Thesiger moved
for a rule to show cause why the judgment in this case
should not be set aside, and also why a warrant of attorney
should not be delivered up to be cancelled, and why also
certain deeds should not be returned to the defendant. The
transactions which gave rise to the present application hsd
commenced so far back as 1833, when the plaintiff had ad-
vanced, as we understood, the sum of 3,00011., for which as
security the Duke of Beaufort bad accepted a hill of exchange
for 2,0001.; but when that bill became due Lord Alvanley,
for whose accommodation it was accepted, was unable to
meet it. It was then determined that a further sum of
5,0001. should be advanced to Lord Alvanley. A policy of
insurance on the life of the Duke of Beaufort for 5,0001.,
and also three other policies which bad been previously
effected on the life of Lord Alvanley were handed over as
security. It was also agreed that an annuity should be
granted to the plaintiff, and the sum of 1,4801. was paid
yearly, the understanding being that Lord Alvanley
was to have the benefit of these policies, and they were
merely to be security for the repayment of the loan
advanced to the defendant. The plaintiff died in 1842, and
his representatives now refused to return the policies,
alleging that they bad the sole property in them. A warrant

DILBLIN, MAT 30.

The Shearwater has arrived in the Liffey. She re-
turned this morning, after landing Mr. Mitchel at
Spike Island. This unhappy gentleman was treated
with gn at consideration by the office rs of the Shear-
water, who, with the frank generosity of their pro-
fesidon, promptly manifested every consideration for
a mut wnose grave offehce against the law and peace
of the country had met with such a heavy punishment.
On letting Spike Island Mr. Mitchel expressed
his sense of their kind treatment

It report speaks truly, there are two or the., e of the
confedemtes upon whom reliance can be placed for
the faithful fulfilment of this pledge of fealty to the
last promise of Mr. Mitchel. There are some who
say positively that several of the clubs had decided
upon rescuing Mr. Mitchel on Saturday last ; and
that they were only dissuaded from currying out this
pr jt ct by a letter of remonstrance from Mr. Smith
O'Brien, whose icfluence prevailed. That the clubs
were all in delibtration on Saturday up to r.eatly
4 o'clock is quite certain, but what their ultimate in-
tentions were, except by mere rumour, remains a
secret.

the case of the " Queen v. Sugden," which re-
mained over for judgment since last term, was de-
cided to-day in the Q.ieen's Bench. The facts, as
you arc aware, are briefly these : Sir Edward Sugden
had appointed his eon to the Assistant Registrarship
of the Court of Chancery, which appointment was
impugned by the head clerk, Mr. Kelly, who
claimed the appointment under Lind Plunket's Act,
which regulated, inter nlia, the promotion in the
Chancery Court. The case came before the Queen's
Bench by quo scarranto, and to-day judgment was
given in favour of Mr. Kelly. Thus, the appoint-
ment of the ez•chancellor in favour of his son has
been set aside. It is likely the matter will come be-
fore the House of Lords.

The Alba of Florence, under date of Rome, the
17th, gives the following account of the murder of
M. Rossi. He had ezaspsrsted the people by threat-
ening, on the preceding daT, to sot vigorously against
the disturbers of the public peace, and had made a
great display of military force. On his getting out
of his carriage to enter the Palace of the Legislature,
he was hooted, and, having looked at the crowd with
a sort of defiance, a man rushed forward and stabbed
him in the threat. —A letter which we have received
from a correspondent at Rome, says, "As M. Rossi
was ascending the staircase of the Chamber of Depa-
ties, he was surrounded by a body of the Legionari
(the legion returned from Vicenza), one of whom
came forward and stabbed him. The assassin, pro-
tected by his comrades, escaped."
The Alba of Florence, of the 17th, says that the
Sardinian fleet has again sailed for Ancona.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 18th,
states from Milan that the whole municipality have
resigned in connquence of the rapacious decree of
rely, which imposes an indefinite contribution
upon the city of Milan. The whole population have
come to a determination not to pay.
The Concordia, of the 17th, states from Venice, that
a government secretary has been arrested, under
suspicion of having given the Austrians at Maitre
notice of the projected sally of the Venetians on the
27th ult. The Austrians have abandoned the delta
oppoite Venice, formed by the Lagunes, the Taglio,
and the Canal of the Brenta, and which contains
45,000 inhabitants. The victims designed for spolia-
tion by Radetsky, says this journal, are 225, who are
to pay above 40 millions. Count Vitaliani is imposed
for 800,000 lines, as well as Count Litta. The mu-
nicipality have pretested. A combination for Lom-
bardy of the Duke of Lenchtemberg, patronised by
Russia, is spoken of. A rumour was current at Turin
on 18th that a corporal had been stabbed, at the
Porte Neova, who, before breathing his last, revealed
• project aping the life of the king.
The Ginnions of Turin, of the 17th, states from
Naples that the Neapolitan government intends re-
tains; the ultimatum of the mediating powers respect-
isg Sicily. Steamers are constantly plying along the
Calabrian coast, to land soldiers wherever they may
be necessary to quell partial disturbances, which are
of almost daily occurrence. One of the steamers re-
turned lately full of wounded soldiers. It is said that
Mongiana has been occupied by the soldiers. Gioberti
intends, it is said, to return to Paris for a short time,
but without laying down either the presidency of the
chamber or his character as deputy.

Further errors in the case of Mr: S. O'Brien were,
by leave, handed in yesterday on his behalf by Mr.
Fitzgerald, one of hie counsel. The argument in this
case comes on to-day. The case will be argued on the
part of Mr. O'Brien by Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr.
Whiteside, Q.C., and on the part of the crown by the
Attorney-General and Mr. D. Lynch.
In the case of Kevin Izod O'Dogherty, of the Tri-
bune, a memorial, signed by every one of the jury
who found him guilty, verse presented to the Lords
Justices on Saturday, urgently praying for a com-
mutation of the sentence from transportation to a
term of imprisonment. There was, at the same time,
presented a memorial to the like effect, most nume-
rously and influentially signed by the citizens of
Dublin, the names of the Lord Mayor aid Lord Clon-
curry heading the list. The reply is expected to be
favourable. O'Dogherty was certainly the least cri-
minal of all the convicted editors. He published but
five numbers of the Tribune altogether.
The death of Mr. Bourne, which was rumoured
yesterday morning, is very confidently asserted in the
halls today, and it is said that Mr. Peirce Mahony is
likely to be his successor.
Calculators sometimes, like other very clever people,
over-rate themselves. An instance of it is found in
relation to the now vacant office of Clerk of the
Peace for Dublin. The office was double—filled by
twopersons—nominated each as a vacancy occurred.
During Lord Heytesbury's administration the office
was under the consideration of the legislative. Mr.
Archer, who died the other day, was then in extreme
ill-health. No one believed he could sur-
vive even a few months. The office was
then declared a joint-office, Mr. Archer and
Mr. Dickinson being in possession ; but the
clause referring to it was so worded that, on Mr.
Archer's death, the full office would be vaunt, and
could be appointed to. The calculators made sure
that they bad provided for their own friends, through
Lord Heytesbury, an easy, quiet place, with a salary
reaching 2,0001. per annum or thereabouts. But Mr.
Archer did not die in Lord Heytesbury's viceroyalty,
though all his conservative friends expected he would,
and the result is that Lord Clarendon has the appoint-
ment to the fall office, Mr. Dickenson vacating by
Mr. Archer's death, through the legislative manage-
ment of his own party.

PASSENGERS' LrGGAGE.—ir ease of some iM-
portatre as determining the Lability of railway companies,
in regard to passengers' luggage, was decided on Friday last
by W. Walker, Esq , the judge of Barnsley County Court.
A Mr. Tradd, a commereal traveller, sued the Midland
Counties Railway Company for 131. 10A, the value of a
portmanteau with the contents, which was proved t 3 have
been put into the luggage basket at the Barnsley !tattle, but
which was lost between that and the Muborough station.
The company pleaded non liability, and proved that a notice
was affizei at all stations, warning passengers that they
would not hold themselves listle for luggage left in the
offices or with their servants—to one of whom, a porter, the
portmanteau in question had been handed by the plaintiff.
The judge pronounced in favour of the plaintiff for the
amount claimed.

POPULAR EDUCATION.—A lecture seas delivered
last evening in Crosby-hall, by the Rev. Mr. Curwen, on the
subject of vocal music as a branch of popularinstntction. This
gentleman appears to be an enthusiaatio, and at the same
time an able and intelligent, votary of the great Cause of
education, and justly estimates the d' sin of music as one
of the means of softening, riSoing, and elevating the cha.
ratter of the people. He has introduced into certain large
Sunday schools under hie superintendence a n-ethod of vocal
tuition devised by himself; and the object of his lecture was
to give an account of his method and to give practical illus-
trations of its operation by meansofa large body of pupils, who
sang a number of harmonised airs adapted to pleasing and po-
pular poetry, and went through the various exercises whereby
they had acquired a knowledge of the scale and facility in
I the use of all the intervals. We cannot at present give any
details of his method, nor are we prepared to deliver an opi-
nion as to its merits compared with other systems. It differs
wholly from the methods hails of Mullah and Mainzer ; its
peculiar feature being, that the knowledge of the scale, and
of the principles of tonality, are taught by means of a new
mode of notation. Mr. Curwen, however, was at pains to
point out that this mode is not meant to supersede the ordi-
nary notation, but only to impart the above ele-
mentary knowledge in the simplest and easiest
manner, so as to prepare the pupil for encoun-
tering the anomalies and difficulties with which the
ordinary notation abounds. To talk, at this time
sf day, of abolishing the established system of notation,
would be altogether out of the question. Crosby-hall was
crowded to the doors last evening by • respectable audience,
who listened with great attention to the lecture and its vocal
illustrations. The lecture was clear, frequently eloquent,
and delivered with great felicity of manner; and the mu-
rex', &limy, andexpresaion of the singing were calculated
to give a very favourable impression of • method of instruc-
tion which had produced such results. At the close of the
lecture the thanks of the meeting (which was an open one)
were carried by a general burst of applause.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SUNDAY, 6 30 p.m.
Nothing of importance has transpired to-day, nor
has any foreign news arrived since my despatch of
this morning. There prevails, however, a general
feeling of apprr henaion, at.d some families have de-
cided on leaving PAris for a fortnight. I cannot trace
this to any definite cause. It may probably arise
from the apprehension of the consequences of the de-
bate on the report of the insurrection.

ITALY.—The Milan Gazette of the 31st ult. has
the following : " The defence of the city of Milan has
been organised thus by the committee: From the
gate Tenaglia to the gate Vercellina the defence is
entrusted to General Antonini, who will have hie
head-quarters at Caren°. Th. second section of de-
fence, from one gate to another, is entrusted to Lieut.-
Col. Francescini. The third section to Lieut.-Col.
Ardino; and to each section of defence is added a part
of a battalion of sappi re. A temporary hospital will
be attached to each section.

The Cuntempirown, of the 28th ult., says, " The
Chamber of Deputies held a secret session to-day.
The obj( ct of the meeting was the communication of a
letter of the minister of the interior Lathe President of
the Chamber, announcing that the entire minbery
intended to take the responsibility of ill acts, in the
most strict constitutional sense of the term. The
Chamber bad authorised its president to convoke the
deputies for public sessions, as the ministry accepted
the comp': te responsibility, which proves that the
conditions of its existence are changed.
It would seem that the Matniani ministry is
to be re-constituted. There will be a public sitting
to-morrow, when interpellations will be put to the
Ministry as to the war. It seems that some superior
officers at Bologns had declared that the troops were
not in a condition to keep the field a single month. It
is certain that disorder is at its height."

The English reader will hardly feel surprise at the
announcement that a case or two are about to come
under the cognisance of our law courts in which de-
nunciations by Roman catholic priests from the altar
will form the subject of investigation. I understand
that "a bad case" of this description, though one
which as yet has not at all been brought before the
public through the press or parliament, has recently
been submitted to most eminent counsel, who have
advised that a preeecution will lie, and if the case be
proved that it will be successful. Also, that it ought
to be prosecuted not by the crown, but by the party
denounced. The object of attack was in this case a
nobleman of whig principles and very liberal ten-
dencies, who has property in a north-western and an
eastern county. I do not say positively that this pro-
secution will proceed, but recent developments from
Rome incline me to the belief that such a course may
be deemed necessary.
In the west distress begins to assume a shape very
portentous to property. The Thant Herald—bating
the exaggeration which suffuses most provincial nar-
ratives of popular destitution—coatsuns a painful

the great clock for the new palace at Westminster.
These papers relate to Mr. Dent'a being replaced on the
list of competitors, and to Meter,. Thwaites and Reed
being refused leave to compete, because " the number of
competitors enters as an element into the expectations which
induce distinguished artisans to enter into the competition."
Mr. Airy, whose words we quote, appears to think the public
interest quite • secondary consideration. Mr. Airy writes
that experiments by Mr. Jacobi, which he has seen at St.
Petersburg, convince him that his own proposal to employ
" the spare power of the large clock to excite a magneto-
electric current, by means of which many, or all, the assailer
clocks in the palace could be kept in motion simultaneouly
with the large clock," is practical to an extent that mikes It
desirable the question of adopting it should be entertained.

UNITED STATES.

By the arrival of the steamer Niagara at Liverpool
last night, we have news from New York to the
mornirg, and Boston the evening, of the lst inst.; and
from Halifax to the 3rd. The Niagara bas brought
90 passengers but no specie. The United States ar-
rived out on the 26th ult. ; the Sarah Sands, on the
28th tilt.; end the Hibernia, on the Ist instant.
The political news by this arrival is not important.
The presidential canvass continued to engross public
attention, and so much had the prospects of General
Taylor improved, that his friends was very sanguine
of spoons.
Accounts from Mexico are ineathriectory ; but
though the spirit of revolution remained unabated,

M. Reveaux, the chargé d'Affaires of the central
government of Germany (says the Gazette of Tessin,
of the 9th) presented, on the 2nd inst., a new note
to the Directory, dated the 23rd ult., in reply to
the despatch of the l)irectory of the 6th ult. The
tone is the same u the preceding. The central
government refuses to attend to the note of the Direo-
tory requiring the central government to point out
and tarnish e% idenee against the authorities against
whom proceedings are wished to be taken with refe-
rence to the revolutionary movement in Baden ; the
c-ntral power saying that, finding it has nothing to
hope from diplomatic negociation,it will have recourse
to c-ercive measures, but does not explain what these
mmures will be.
According to the German Gazette, of the 29th ult.,
the frontiers of Switzerland are spin occupied, and
a strict surveillance kept up.
