POPULAR DEMONSTRATION

Since the foregoing was in type we have received
accounts from Paris to post-hour last evening.
Some battalions of the national guard mobile were
armed this morning. On the manifestation of an
intention yesterday, on the part of some volun-
teers of the national guard mobile, to disarm
the 6th regiment of chasseurs a cheval, orders were
given to that regiment and the 13th to leave Paris.
They left the capital this morning.
The second number of theßulktin de la Republique,
published officially at the Ministry of the Interior,
gives to-day an address, without comment, demanding,
in the name of all citizens, the postponement of the
elections.

The various processions of workmen to which we
hare already alluded. on arriving at the Champs
Elysees amounted to above one hundred thousand.
At noon an individual, who appeared as commander-

in•chief, ascended a lamp-post, and commanded them
to defile before him. As the different bodies pawed,
he exclaimed " Advance--advance quickly; and shout
Vivo la Republique.'" The cry of " Vire la Repub-
lique" was the only one raised, save now and then
that of "Vire Ledru-Rollin." _

It was remarked that, of all the members of the
provisional government who appeared at tie windows
of the Hotel de Ville, Ledru-Rollin alone appeared
pleased. No deputation whatever was introduced;
but some men, bearing a bast of Liberty, entered.
Among the mass of the people was observed a
numerous band of ecclesiastics, who exhibited much
enthusiasm, the crowd, at the same tine, shouting
Vive lee citoyens cures."
After defiling before the Hotel de Ville, the mass,
now augmented to about 180,000 persons, directed
their march towards the Bastille, with the intention
of proceeding along the Boulevards, in order to
exhibit to the enemies of the republic the im-
mense number of its defenders. It is to be hoped
that the leaders of this manifestation will have
sufficient control over the popular masses to pre-
vent any disorder this evening.
Bergeron, who was tried for an attempt against
the life of his ex-Majesty, has been appointed Com.
miasary-Cleneral in the departments of the Aisne and
Somme.

Letters from Lyons announce that the armed
workmen evacuated on the morning of the 15th the
fortified enceinte of la Croix Rousse, which was
occupied by the National Guard and troops of the
line. The Fort of Montessuy had been likewise
evacuated by the people.
Some apprehensions were at first entertained on
Bourse, that the popular demonstration would not
peas off without serious disturbances, and the stocks
accordingly declined. But when it was ascertained
that the people quietly retired, after a mere display
of their force, confidence was restored, and the
market recovered.

Advices from Naples, dated March 9th, say that
numerous petitions had been presented to the king,
requesting him to preserve his ministers, though they
had all sent in their resignation. It was also asserted
that a frigate had left Naples for Palermo, having on
board a deputation invested with full power t.) make
whatever concessions might contribute to conciliate
the public mind.

Letters from Vienna, March 11th, say that, on the
evening before, in a conference of the great Hunga-
rian dignitaries, presided over by the Aulic-Hangarian
chancellor, it had been unanimously decided that,
considering the new position assumed by the oppo-
sition in the Chamber of Deputies of Hungary, it
would be proper to make a constitutional appeal to the
electors; consequently, an early dissolution of that
chamber was expected. On the eame day the Archduke
Palatinate was to return to Presburg, and the chain-
bee of the magnate was to deliberate, on the morrow,
upon the address of the Chamber of Deputies. The
fate of Hungary depends on the resolution of the
magnate, for the consequences of a dissolution iu such
agitated times would be uncalculable, and there are
reforms which cannot be deferred, . .

The Okerlander Bote (a German journal) contains
the following important communication :
" Hungary has declared itself independent of
Austria, and has proclaimed a republic."

FRANKFORT, MARCH 14.—1 t is in vain our mar-
ket manifests a tendency towards a rise, especially
for German funds ; it is constantly checked in its
ascending march by the bad news we receive from
foreign countries. The bankruptcies which have
been declared at Paris have just caused a fresh stag-
nation in every line of business. Wurtemburg Loan,

Prof. Simonds, Mr• Stansfield, M.P., Mr. Trench, Mr. H.
Tull, and Mr. Tweed.
The following new members were elected :—George Wil-

garden.
The names of nine candidates for election at the next
meeting were then read.
WHEAT.—The Chairmen called the attention of the
Council to a variety of bearded Wheat, which, for the
last three or four year., had been cultivated in York-
shire, and found exceedingly well adapted to the moor-
land districts of that county. Although sown so late as
the 28th of April, the resulting crop was found to he
quite equal, both in amount and quality, to those of the
ordinary creeping Wheat sown in November. This
Wheat was one of the red varieties, and originally ob-
obtained from Wiltshire. An extensive trial was in pro-
gress this seasm throughout Yorkshire on its cultiva•
tion, the result of which he would communicate to the
Council. The Wheat in question was not thick-skinned,
and it yielded a flour for which the millers gave the
same price as for that obtained from the autumn-sown
varieties. It was well adapted for their light burning
soils, as furnishing a convenient substitute for barley.
—An interesting discussion then enelierl, in which Mr.
Fisher Hobbs and Mr. Tweed favoured the Council with
the result of their practical experience on the comparative
values of different varieties of Wheat for the miller.—
The chairman also took that opportunity of calling the
attention of the 'immix!' to some valuable deductions
drawn by Mr. Thompson from a series of experiments
made on the Hackneys estate, for the purpose primarily
of testing the value of Liebig's patent manure for the
Wheat crop in comparison with guano and farm-yard
manure. The statement of these experiments, and Mr.
Thompson's appendix to it, would be found in the part
of the !Transactions of the Yorkshire Society (No. 10,
page 72), just published, and a copy of which was then
lying on the table. The points to which these deduc-
tions had reference, were:-1. The effects of Liebig's
manure; 2. The time for using guano; and 3. The
comparative value of ammoniacal and mineral manures :
and the results were, the failure of Liebig's manure for
the Wheat crop under circumstances where nitrogenous
matter was accidentally absent; the decided advantage
of using guano on heavy nods in the autumn at the time
of preparation for sowing (when the wheat is not sown
earlier than November) ; and the strong corroboration '
afforded to the eiews of Mr. Lawe, in the last part of
the " Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of
England."—" That nitrogenous manures (to use Mr.
Thompson's ewn words) are of the first importance,
as far as the wheat crop is concerned; and that, if
these are deficient, miaeral manures cannot, by any
means supply their place." Mr. Thompson considers
that in the case of lighter soils, the time for employing the
guano would be more dependent on the discretion of the
cultivator, but that its early use in the spring, under such
clysumstancts of soil, would be attended with greet I
vantage.
Porarogs. Mr. Miles, M.P., favoured the council
with a supply of seeds of the potato phint, selected
from the mountains of Chili, and imported direct to this
country, and in fine condition, from that region of the 1
southern hemisphere, by Mr. Bright, of the firm of Messrs.
Gibbs, Bright, and Co., merchants. At the suggestion of
Mr. Miles, these seeds were distributed among the members
then present, with a request that
.they would furnish the
council on a future occasion with the result of their respec•
tive trials.
_ _

ITALIAN RTE Gases. Mr. Rodwell, of Alderton-
ball, transmitted to the council specimens of the pale
and brown varieties of Italian rye-prise grown with barley
on his estate in Suffolk. They were sown in April, ISSI,
and gathered on the 29th February. 1848. Mr. Rodwell
remarked that on comparing with each other the specimens
then submitted tc the council, it would again be found that
the superior growth of the brown variety (ally bare out the
opinion formerly given of its value in the Journal of the So-
ciety, vet. v., p. 28t.

COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.
MONET MARKET i CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Half-pasl One o'Cloek.—Some alarm was created
in the city by the intelligence, in a se"
-end edition of
the Daily Aries, that Austria ",,ad " renounced " all
diplomatic intercon-c 'with Frlnee, without,
~
how-
ever? omu'nog war. But confidence became reassured
in the stock market subsequently by the more
correct interpretation of the news, as not
threatening, certainly, any immediate hostile eel-
lision between the two states. From various parts
of the continent, our advicca are still of the most dis-
quieting kind, both politically and financially. The
resignation en mane of the Dutch ministry is looked
upon as the forerunner of troubles in Holland, although
the event has been hailed there with the greatest
enthusiasm, and stocks absolutely rose upon it.
I'he suspension of the Bank of France is viewed
with a sort of stupor in moncved and capitalist circles.
No one can foresee what may be the result It is
not doubted, however, that there will be a demand
upon this country for specie and bullion, which here-
after may become inconvenient. The credit of bask
paper circulation, which it has been so difficult to esta-
blish in France, since tl.c time of the assigtats, will
now be destroyed for years to come, and a complete
bouleeersemenl of the industrial and commercial sys-
tem of that country, and in its relations with other
countries, must be the consequence.
Speculation is quite suspended for the present.
Consols are firm, at 801 to 1 for time and money.
