sprung a leak and was filling. The pumps had hut little
effect in diminishing her leakage, and the running of her
ashore at this part of the coast being likely to place the lives
of those on board in greater peril it was determined to aban-
don her. The boats were launched, and, with the Maiden
Lights in view, the passengers and crew were safely got into
the boats, and the ill-fated steamer was deserted. She
floated a short time, and went down in deep water. The
ho •ts made the shore in safety, and landed their freights, the
authorities rendering every assistance. The Waterwitch be-
longed to the port of Belfast. She is understood to be partly

GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—We have news from Berlin of the
25th, with journtls of the 26th. M. Arago had an
interview with the King, and presented his creden-
tials. This is practically a recognition of the French
republic.
Camphaueen went to Potsdam on the 24th to see
the King. It is positively stated that he is to return
to Frankfort, from whence he had been called by
superior orders, as ambassador at Frankfort, in lieu of
Herr Von Usedom, and as representative of Prussia,
with the Vicar of the Empire.
The central division of the National Assembly has
declared for the abolition of punishment of death.
FRANKFORT.—In the sitting of the National
Assembly of the 25th, the minister, Schmerling, is
reply to M. Franke, stated that Gen. Wrangel had
concluded no definite armistice, and that he will con-
clude none inconsistent with the honour of Germany,
or that would not be sanctioned by the central power.
Immediately after their nomination the ministers of
the empire invited General Wrangel to indicate the
number of troops he would require to finish the war,
in case the armistice were not concluded according to
the conditions desired. The ministry has decided,
added M. Von Schmerling, to mobilise as soon as pos-
sible the necessary reinforcements, and send them to
the army of Schleswig Holstein.

PARIS, Flunky, 11 30 AN
The journals of this morning c.n:ain no news
which are not anticipated in my despatches of last
evening.
The municipal commission of the city of Paris have
unanimously voted the re-establishment of the octroi
duty on meat, which was abolished by the provisional
government without producing the expected reduction
of price for the consumer. This duty will yield to the
municipality an annual revenue of six millions of

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 29.
WIIENEN El; Mr. HAWES is called upon, in his
capacity of Colonial Under Secretary, to Ray anything
in the House of Commons respecting his department,
he reminds us of the man dancing a hornpipe in
fetters, in the prison scene of the " Beggar's Opera.
Mr. IlawEs is, both by natural disposition and convic-
tion, liberal, and superior to conventionalities ; he has
studied colonial affairs more than most members of
parliament ; and the consequence is that, as a private
individual—as Mr. HAWES—he sees the necessity of
bold and comprehensive reforms in colonial adminis-
tration. Hut as Under Secretary for the Colonies,
Mr. Hawr.•; is brought into daily contact with the
bureaucracy through whom the colonies are governed.
It is no easy task for a man of kindly temper to
maintain an attitude of antagonism to those with
whom he must associate habitually ; and when
he is at their mercy for the information which
he may hourly be called upon in parliament
to produce, and for co-operation in the discharge of
his executive functions, he is compelled to keep them
in good humour by constant concessions. Hence,
while in all Mr. IlAwEs' recent speeches on colonial

THE REFORM MOVEMENT,

MEETING AT MANCHESTER.
A meeting of the burgesses of St. Cle
m
nt's wdnes-
ard,
Manchester, was held in the Temperance Hll on We
day evening, fur the purpose of taking into consideration the
propriety of forming en association for that ward, to obtain
a betnd more perfect representation in the Commons
house of ter a
parliament, and a more equal distribution of the
taxation of the country, and a rtduction of the expenditure
thereof. At debt o'clock the room was filled, although
only burgesses belonging to the ward were admitted.
Mr. Alderman NIRLD presided, and said he believed the
Reform Bill was admitted by mo.t candid persons to be de-
fective in its present form. (lieu.) At the tiro be was
pared it was a great step towards political freedom, but
It was not to be expected that human institutions were
to be made perfect at one step or at two. It
was only by trial and by thought areiety could

A notion coined in the !minds of many persona that it was
by calling hard names and using violent language that a
cause progressed ; but he believed in the contrary. Ile be-
lieved that the more reasonable our discussion the more we
shalt progress. Whatever conclusion they might arrive at
en this importent question, he would recommend them to
pursue it calmly and by reasoning with each other. It was
one of the characteristics of Englishmen that they redress
their grievances by reason, and not by force, and a moral

DENMARK AND THE DUCHI 1 S.

According to a private letter from Gravenstein of
the 6th inst., the Danes crossed the Straits of Abseil
during the morning, under the protection of a heavy
fire from their ships. They were then within a dis-
tance of two leagues of our troops, which occupy the
heights of Dubbel, and amount to between 6,000 and
6,000 men, and those of the enemy to about 10,000.
An engagement was expected. General Von Wranzel
had withdrawn his head-quarters to Holding. An
order of the day issued by the general declares that ,
after the taking possession of Fredericia there should
be a cessation of hostilities.
A private letter from Copenhagen intimates the
expectation of a speedy settlement of affairs. It is
inferred that the blockade of the Elbe will not be car-
ried into effect, and that although l'russian ships were
condemned on the 6th at Copenhagen, both ships and
cargoes will remain untouched till the re-establish-
ment of peace.
A letter from Copenhagen of May 6, says :—The
Minister Orlu Lehmonn has set out for Jutland as
Government Commissary. He had dissuaded all re-
sistance at Veile and Hosens for the present.
The blockade was begun at Bremen on the sth, by
a Danish man.of-war, although reports up to the pre-
sent time du not announce that the frigate Geasionl
has prevented any vessel from sailing out of the
Weser.
The Weser Zeitung says: According to reports
just received from St. Petersburg, the Grand Duke
Constantine will sail with a fleet to the Sound on
May 5, for the protection of the Russian commerce.
lhe commander of the Danish frigate which is sta-
tioned off Swinemunde, has issued a notification to
the effect that all vessels must quit that port within
twenty-four hours after the expiration, on the 11th
inst., of the term allowed them. Danish ships of war
are cruising in all directions off Stralsund.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 6 30 P m.
A schism is reported to have arisen between MM.
Thiers and DuLture, the effect of which will for the
pres nt neutralize the influence which the party of the
Rue de l'oitiers ,would naturally exercise in the As-
sembly .
The first effect of this has been to secure the
election of M. Matrast to the presidency to-day.
There sv,lTc three divisions, in the first of which, upon
a tot 11 number of 781 votes, the following was the
result :

M. Marrast 386
M. Lacrosse .. 311
M. Bac .. 37
Voix Perdue, : .. 17
On the second, the total number of rotes being 765,
the following was the distribution :
M. Marrast 411
M. Lacrosse .. .. 334
M. Bac : 20
M. Armand Marrast was accordingly declared Pre-
sident.

The Bien Public, the reputed organ of M. Lamar-
tine, says, of the appointment of M. Marie:—" M.
Marie represents democracy in all the purity of its
principle, and in its spirit of organisation and progress.
In the Provisional Government be was one of the
founders of the republic. Faithful to the memory of
Februrry 24, he a ill ever remain the man of the

has always defended--order and liberty.
The 11L.niteur announces officially the nomination
of M. Sibour, Bishop of Digne, as Archbishop of

The President of the Council has ordered that, as

fatherland might be in danger, he invited the house,
and through it the whole country, to gave the
fatherland, by raising soldiers and morury. The pre.
sident then proposed a decree, authorising the levier
' 200,000 men, a•.d the raising of a credit of 42 millions
of florins (Cony. Munz.). An immediate succour of
40,000 men, and 10 to 12 millions of florins, was et
once voted. s

The cause of this is the general conviction that a loan

ment ; thy desire to appc int M. Marie Minister of
Justice, but the difficulty is to find a candidate of their
own party whose election they can secure. They
would dest,o to have M. Marrast, but the Assembly
would not elect him. M. Garnier Pagis has also been
named, but would be still less acceptable.
MM. Ihifaure and Lacrosse, either of whom
would be aecrlttd by the Rue de Poictiers, are not
palatable to the government party, and in short
there is no prrrent obvious issue from the dilemma.

DURLLV, JULY 15.

The evening has passed off without any attempt
having been made upon the clubs. It is said that this
has been caused by the puVication in the Nation of
this day proclaiming a meeting of the clubs to-mor-
row, and a marching in ranks or sections of five
each to a place to be indicated. That place—where
they are to assemble—is not yet known, but is to be
communicate.] to the clubs either this night or at the
morning parade to-morrow. Rumour names several
places—Santry, two miles from town ; Blue Bell,
about the same mstance, and Swords is also named,
seven miles from town. The police will, there is no
doubt, be called on—and will interfere with the
parade. Hence the postponement of to-night's
eperatious.
The cautionary notice of the police against the
purchaseseditious newspapers.' had no effect to-
!ay, which rather surprised the public. So late as
e'clock this evening I purchased a Felon, but
N :nder accompanied the sale with a request that
1.. -:•eui. be hidden. At nine o'clock, however, the
:•ass was a:tered, since from and after that hour the

Tim EARL OF LINIRAI o CAPPER AND OTHERS.—
Ws was on action to reviver damages for breach of covenant.
The defendants arc the directors of the Great Northern
Railway C'crapany. The sum claimed w s 6,0001 and
interest. It appeared that the directors of the
Direct Northern Railway entered into a cove-
nant for the payment of certain sums of money,
according to circumstances, and under one of the con-
ditions they unit. rtook to pay the above turn for a cer-
tain porti in of land, the noble earl uudertsking to
withdraw all opposition and to promote the bill in
parliament. The bill, • however, did not pass, but
the Direct Northern and Great Northern lines were amalga-
mated, and the latter were called upon to meet all the claims
and agreements. That question, however, had yet to be
decided on writ of error in the House of Lords.
The only question for the jury now was, whether
plaintiff wen entitled to interest, as it was not mentioned in
the deed. The Under-Sheriff said the jury could give it in
the shape of damages. After being locked up some time,
they gave a verdict for 6,3301., being debt and interest at
3 per cent.

Singapore Chamber of Commerce convened a meeting, and
addressed a letter to the government relative to the perilous
situation of British merchants of Bangkok, and 'a-
rming a hope th■t the opportunity would be seized on
for sending a British vessel of war to Siam.
After communicating with Capt. MacQuhae, of 11.M.5.
lltedalus, senior officer in the Straits, Col. Butterworth, the
governor, informed the chamber that in consequence of the
abatlowneas of the Bangkok river the Daedalus could not
approach the torn nearer than 70 mils'', at which distance
she would he useless. We believe the matter has been, or
will he, referred to the East India and China Association,
with the view of submitting to the English ministry the
state of our commercial relations with Siam. The treaty
with Siam has been almost wholly inoperative, and our
trading intercourse with that country is at a lower ebb now
than it was ten years ago.

IRELAND.

ELECTRIC TELE( .It PIDOPEICE, LONDON.
Central Station, 3 rait.
The intelligence received from Ireland is considered
by the authorities of Liverpool of doubtful autken-
ticity, and up to this hour no information confirma-
tory of the telegraphic despatches has been received
by the gevernment. A Queen's messenger has
arrived in London, who lett Dublin at 3 p.m. yes-
terday, at which time no reports had reached that
city of any actual outbreak.

Since the foregoing was in type, we have received
the letter of our Dublin correspondent, with accounts
to poet hour last evening, but nothin! is communicated
respectirg the reported insurrection in the south.
Our correspondent says : Government, I hear, has
received positive information of an immediate out-
break, as well as the time and place when the " insur-
gent Rag" will be raised. They are also informed
of the forces which will be brought together,
the districts of country from which the insurgent bat-
talions will be drafted, and all the means now at
work to continue the struggle should the first blow
prove unsuccessful. Troops are quietly gathering
from all sides on the suspected point.
Before thin night shall have closed, Mr. Smith
O'Brien will most probably be in the hands of the
authorities. The act aa•pending the Habeas Corpus
was published here this morning, after the
arrival of the Banshee so, amer, which brought
the act to Ireland, and immediately a war-
rant was prepared for the arrest of Mr. Smith
O'Brien, under its provisions. At 2 p.m, to-day,
a Castle messenger was despatched southward, by
rail, to capture the hon. gentleman, and he is acccm
ponied by a squadron of the 17th Lancers, to enforce
the capture if necessary. Thus the matter is at issue.
At twelve o'clock on Monday, an express arrived
from Cashel at Clonmel, with accounts of an outbreak.
The police immediately took possession of the west
gate, and the military occupied the main guard. One
of the insurgent leaders was said to have spent
Sunday night on the ridges of Slier( namon, and to
have marshalled the Carrick corps for an assault on
Monday.
At Nenagh the police have been strengthened and
furnished with muskets and ammunition. A squadron
of dragoons and the 59th, from Templemore, were
ordered to occupy the town. The O'Meara and
Fulton Clubs, which, in the pride of their strength,
paraded Ntnagh on Sunday to the number of 700, dis-
solved on Monday. The Habeas Corpus Suspension
had a most dispersing effect on their spirits.
Information reached the local authorities that a
general attack was meditated on the small police
detachments scattered about Horrieoleigh, Tipperary.
The whole force was ordered to concentrate in the
villa a cn Monday, and a similar order has been
issued to the other districts where the police are
divided into small sections.

rrALy.—The Piedmankee Gazette of the 22nd,
publishes a bulletin from the Stelvio (Tyrol), announe-
mg an attack of the Austrians upon that position. The I
cannon of the Italians forced the former to quit the
heights of the Rocca Bianca, which they had occupied,
and after 12 hours' hai d fighting they were ultimately
repulsed, and obliged to retire to Trafoi. Accounts from ,1
the royal camp state that the communications be-1
twetn Mantua, Verona, and Legnago are completely
interrupted. The Duke of Genoa, with 23,0W1 men,
invests Verona on both sides of the Adige, in the
positions near Itivoli. The Duke of Savoy is on the
side of the Due Critelli, _to prevent the eeress of
the Austrians on that side. Charles Albert keeps
Mantua in awe, which is now strictly blockaded.
Skirmishes aro of daily occurrence. Piedmontese
troops are on their way through Bologna and Mantua
I to the Venetian territory.
The Aerenire (tledia, of the 27th, states that the
Austrians left 106 men on the field of battle at Go-
vernolo. Many more had been carried off, and others
t'-rown into the Mincio. On the 21st, the chambers
of Turin voted the law for the annexation of Venice
to Piedmont.

A letter from Florence of the 18th July states that
a courier from Naples, on his route from Turin, passed
through Florence. It was believed he wus the bearer
of a protest front the King of Naples against the elec-
tion the King of Sicily.

SWITZERLAND.—A letter from Berne, of the
22nd, announces that the Diet, desirous of extin-
guishing the pubic debt, is about to publish an edict,
imposing a tax on property and income. This is
much opposed by the higher dames.

IENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

According to accounts from Kolding up to the
evening of the Bth, the I)anes had been bombarding
Ftidericia all that morning, from 24 ships of war,
and had fired it in two places. The Prussian artillery
replied in good style, and had sunk some craft belong-
ing to the enemy.
10,000 Swedes will shortly assemble at Gothenburg,
whence they can be forwarded in eight hours to
'Jutland. The Swedes entertain great hostility to the
Germans, and their junction with the Danes would,
in all probability, turn the tide of the battle. The
Berlingedte Zettung of Copenhagen positively asserts
that 20,000 Swedes have received marching orders,
and that a corps of Swedish allies may shortly be
expected to arrive on the I)anish territory. From
German ve ult. to the 3rd inst. not less than sixty-four
ssels were captured by Danish men-of-war.
A bill for a war tax to the amount of four millions of
rix dollars has been laid before the Danish paxlia-
ment at Roeskild (the old capital, at least royal
residence, at Denmark).
It is hinted that Russia will supply the needful
cash, the funds being at a rather low figure in the
royal treasury of Denmark; so much so, indeed,
that the King is converting all his valuables into
hard coin.

which is of happy promise. For the last two years the dis-
ease has been developed in the
tubers grown in forcing beds,
as soon as they were ripe r use ; indeed they were
more then ordinarily affected by " the rot." This year he

are suspected of the crime, which is attributed to private
malice. An incendiary tire has occurred near Castleblaney.
Several corn ricks were burned down. The owner is under

SCOTLAND.
EDINIIUP.OH, MAY 12.
Some excitement has been caused in the Medical
School here by the probable return to Edinburgh of
Professor S 3 me. It will be rembered that Mr. Syme
was professor of clinical surgery in the University of
Edinburgh, and succeeded the late Mr. Liston in the
incumbency of the corresponding chair in University
College. His appointment to the latter charge occa-
sioned some jealousy in London, and it is understood
that he has applied to the crown to be reinstated in
' his old professorship, which happens to be still va-
cant. The result of the application has not trans-
pired, nor is the immediate cause of it very accurately
known.
Agricultural rents are still in the ascendant.
Several cases are reported from Ayrshire of parties
having availed themselves of breaks in their leases to
give up their land, which was eagerly bidden for and
taken twenty per cent. above the old rent.

to re-assurances and forfeited policies, and extending the pri-
