LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 28.

THE English public are just now gathered round
a dangerously convulsed spasmodic currency patient.
'They see, what, indeed, if they could not see, they
would feel, on that shin of the moral man, his pocket,
that something is fatally wrong with the poor object
of their interest ; but, notwithstanding their sympathy
with its quivering convulsions, they remain incapable
of pronouncing on the nature of the malady—much
more on the probable remedy for the disease.
One, irideed, opines that this. falling. sickness
has come upon the markets from the depletion of the
circulation caused by PEEL'S last bill. Another, with
more noise and vehemence, argues that it is rather the
excessive consumption of produce sold in the markets,
on which railways have brought so many hungry
mouths of well-pail navigators and other skilled and
unskilled labourers. But surely, if the sages, whom
we cell political economists, have not taught us
wrongly, an increased consumption and lessened stocks
should lead to aught but panic and want of money.
For money, under such circumstances, ought rather
to be wandering about the land seeking for a habita-
tion, and finding it not in empty warehouses;
wherein, as in bankers' chests, money dwells not con-
tently, but ever craceth for departure into cotton
bales, flour barrels, sugar hogsheads, shares, mines,
mills, or even Mexico. But not only are there at
present fewer of these things, but what there are
of them have shrunk in value; that is, have squeezed
out of themselves some of the money they ence held.
Where then is the cash that ought, theoretically, to
be abundant ? Has it gone abroad ? Eastward ?
Westward? Some has undoubtedly oozed out. Six
millions sterling perhaps. Bat ought the disappear-
ance of even ten millions to make the five or six thou-
sand millions (to put down the value of England at
thoeepaltry figures) partly 35 per cent.cheaper, partly
valueless? It should not. The departure of six millions
does not show that we are by so much exceeding our
income. For how vast is the capital of English mer-
chants that is always abroad! Is not the life blood
of trade at Rio de Janeiro, and at St. Louis of Mis-
souri, at Delhi and Rangoon, at Timbuctoo and Mo-
gador, English money? Must not English capital
till the trade chenoeli of India, America and Africa,
before the current of profit will run through them ?
Will not the sovereigns we have sent to JONATHAN,
which he cannot circulate, and will not recoin, and
which lie in costly useless splendour in the cellars of
American banks, "burn in his pockets" till he can spend
them in strong drinks and finery in our shops? Are we
then to rain our workers, our landowners, our miners
and our traders—everybody, in short, but Swedish
and Italian singers and French and Danish dancers--
that we may get our six millions of sovereigns back?
Why, a e have thrown eight millions into the frothy
whirl of Irish dirty water, and shall never get them
back—have flung them to a people whom they will
make less industrious, less productive, worse cus-
tomers! Or do we do all this that we may "turn
the exchanges ;" that we may make our goods so
cheap that all the world will be tempted to come
and buy!
Formerly we used to encourage exportation
another way-by bounties. Then such sages as write
City articles in leading journals, argued that it was
unmet' for this country to pay, that foreigners might
hare our goods for Ices than they cost or would bring
at home. Well, are we not now " forcing down
prices to turn the exchanges" ?—doing what govern-
ment did by bounties on exportation ; save that now
individual traders, not as then the people who paid
taxes for bounties, stiffer the lees ?
But does this answer? Do we, by crippling trade,
by rendering bargain and sale at home impossible,
facilitate exportation Why, before the goods can be
exported, they must be bought of and paid for to the
maker. And this we hinder. Have we not all read,
that in Manchester foreign orders could not be exe-
cuted, because foreign agents could not get the bills
they must draw against shipments cashed? Strange
way this of encouraging export, that our sales might
be equal to our purchases.
PEEL'S last bill was to preserve the currency as
nearly as might be in an equablestate--at an absolutely
equal amount —that so traders might not be confused
by having to attend to aught save the supplies and
the consumption of the goods they traded in ; that
the honest farmer, miner, manufacturer, might not
find the value of his produce sunk or raised by de-
crease or increase on the quantity of the mea-
ure of value. Has this been done ? There
were lately some days—some awful days—
during which the measure of value had altogether
disappeared ! Mines, mills, and their produce, had
no value! With a famine impending over the land,
American flour would not bring money ! All because
a few millions of sovereigns had gone from us, leav-
iig twice as many uncalled for, and therefore not
wanted, in the cellars of the Bank ! While the aim
of PEEL'S bill was to make the quantity of currency
as nearly as may be the same, its actual effect has
been another sliding scale, multiplying the subtrac-
tion from the currency of the export of sovereigns.
We pretend not to understand how these thini can
be the proper and salutary results of the Great Regu-
latory Bill. Nor do we think it necessary to trouble
ourselves with such vain inquiries. We see that the
bill is a failure in practice : we knew that it was
wrong in moral design ; that it aimed at
regulation
what is above, or beneath, or beside, the of
government ; that it intruded the official clerk into
our private business ; that it carried on the most diffi-
cult, delicate, and dangerous departments of trade—
the trade on credit—that its whole principle, and its
every practice, was interference—interference which
its very author had admitted to be too dangerous and
impracticable for the rougher trade in beeves and grain.
We refuse to follow through their tortuous wind-
ings of fallacy and falsehood the arguments of the
millionaires, who thrive by the fluctuations of money,
and by this craft have their wealth. It is enough
that we see horrid ruin and ridiculous failure follow
these promises of freedom from panic; and that we
know that no law should overrule the consent of the
community to receive as sufficient payment whatever
they may think each, or should make ' a purely me-
chanical art," as ADAM SMITH calls banking, a mys-
tery and a monopoly.

OUR readers who take an interest in Scotch affairs
are aware of the rather warm dispute that has been
waged between the established and free churches in
Scotland, respecting the right of property in certain
chapels erected by private subscription not long be-
fore the " disruption." To this pretty numerous class
we feel confident the intelligence contained in our
Edinburgh correspondent's letter, that there is a
reasonable prospect of this painful and unedifying
contest being terminated by negotiation, will afford
unalloyed satisfaction.
The state of the question is simply as follows :
Previous to 1833, only 63 chapels were erected in
connexion with the Scotch 'establishment in the
course of a century, while 500 dissenting presby-
terian churches sprung. up in half that time. Pre-
cious to 1833, the ministers of chapels in connexion
with the establishment had no voice in the church
courts. In 1834, the general assembly of the church
of Scotland enacted that all ministers of chapels of
ease should be constituent members of the presby-
teries and synods within whose bounds they were
situated, and eligible to sit in the general assembly.
Between the time of passing this act and the end of
1840, 216 chapels of ease in connexion with the este
. blishment were erected at an expense of 287,5001
There can be no doubt that the inducement to build
these chapels was the prospect of their ministers and
congregations being allowed the full rights of church
o:timaskup.

Since the secession of the free church the establish-
ment have again reduced the whole of these places of
public worship from the position they occupied to that
of mere chapels or preaching stations. Yet, after thus
violating the agreement under which they were
erected, the establishment insist upon seizing and re-
taining the whole of them. At the time et the " dis-
ruption" a great majority of the ministers and people
of these chapels adhered to the free church ; and in
every such case the establishment have either taken
possession of the chapel (under protest), or instituted
a process before the civil courts to have it delivered up
to them.
It must be kept in mind that the free church minis-
ters officiating in these chapels are, in many instances,
the individuals for whom they were built, and the
congregations, the individuals at whose expense they
have been built and maintained. The establishment
claim them on the ground of clauses in the title-
deeds declaring that they shall belong to the esta-
blished church ; wilfully overlooking the fact that the
parties who erected and occupy (or till of late occu-
pied) them, made this gift to the establishment, on
the express condition that their congregations and
ministers should enjoy all the constitutional privileges
of parochial churches. The establishment having
broken its promise, ought, in common honesty, to
restore the gift.
In a memorial addressed to Lord JOHN RUSSELL by
a committee of the General Assembly of the Free
Church, the claims of that body, in respect to the
chapels, is thus stated: " Your memorialists do not
desire to retain all the churches —they do not desire
any party triumph—they simply desire to retain and
secure what they can prove to be their own ; and they
would respectfully eagges,, that if an act of parlia-
ment were passed, authorising every case to be settled
on principles of equity, by arbitration or other-
wise, after heariug full evidence, the ends of
justice would be effectually secured, whilst that
formidable and growing mass of litigation, and that
asperity of feeling which have sprung. up and
which will undoubtedly yet result from the present
state of matter', would be effectually checked." The
general assemblies of both churches are at this time
in session ; and it is to be hoped, before they separate,
the overture made by the representatives of the free
to those of the established church, to acquiesce in
the reference to arbiters herein suggested, will be
courteously responded to in the affirmative. Nothing
tends so much to injure religion in the estimation of
the worldly-minded, as disputes relating to property
between religious bodies.

IT is long since "a nice man" was defined to be a
man of " nasty ideas." The definition receives an ex-
cellent illustration from a reported discussion in that
chosen show-place for all wisdom, humanity, and good
taste, the Marylebone Vestry. The other day, while
urging on our readers the claim of the baths and
wash-houses in Glasshouse-yard, we observed that Sir
PETER LAURIE objected to them as ying room for
indecent exposure. Mr. SMITH, the honorary secre-
tary of a similar establishment in George-street,
Euston-square, attended on Saturday at the vestry
meeting to "express the surprise and regret of the
committee" at Str PETER LAURIE'S statement, that he
had seen two or three dozen bathers in the plunge-
bath whose gambols were indecent and disgusting.
Mr. SMITH, it appears, had himself conducted Sir
PETER over the establishment, when there was a per-
son learning to swim in the large plunging-bath, and
four persons in the smaller, who were conducting
themselves in a very orderly and proper manner. Sir
PETER expressed his cordial and unqualified appro-
bation of the arrangements.
In a letter to Mr. SMITH, however, who had di-
rected Sir PETER'S attention to the report of his
statement to the vestry, Sir PETER acknowledges its
correctness except as to the numbers, and declares
that it expresses his opinion correctly. He confesses
that the committee have a guard always on duty, but
considers that the low compartments (about four feet
higb, says Mr. SMITH) in which men dress and un-
dress themselves, all but publicly, in each other's
sight, "are quite insufficient for the preserving that
decency " which he is certain the committee is desi-
, roue of maintaining. From circumstances forced
upon Sir PETER'S notice as a magistrate, he feels coa-
-1 vinced " that public plunging-baths are most objec-
tionable." Every man has a right to his opinion.
And every man has a right to express his opinion of
another man's opinion.
Sir PETER LAURIE claims, and exercises, both rights
to the full, and must net be surprised that he occa-
sionally finds himself the subject of comment instead
of the commentator. Logic would suggest, that if Sir
PETER objects to four feet boarding as not high enough,
he might insist on six feet or seven feet compartments.
But he prefers to object altogether to the plunging-bath.
It is the same " lunatic zeal and conscience " which
urged Sir PETER against suburban swings, that now
drive him headlong into plunging-baths. His virtue
is at once of the most lustrous water, and the most
delicate susceptibility to dirt. It seems able to defy
any shock, and to tremble at every breath. He is so
pure that the slightest suggestion of impropriety fills
him with the nastiest notions possible. His last ex-
ploit is worthy of the rest, and in a more suitable
cause. Such a Don QUIXOTE demands antagonists
more able to defend themselves than swinge and ad-
vertising vans. So Sir PETER mounts dirt for his
Rosinante, crowns himself with an empty. wash-hand
basin, and runs a tilt against Cleanliness in the name
of Prudery.
We feel by no means disposed to let this last freak
pass as good-humouredly as its predecessors. It is
no flattery of the poor to say that among those who
avail themselves of these cheap baths there is no more
likelihood of finding any disgusting indecency than
amongst a parcel of Eton boys amusing themselves in
the Thames, or a batch of Sunday cockneys dis-
porting in " the tepid" at Brighton. Sir PETER
refers to his magisterial experience. Seated at
Ouildhall,he has now and then a filthy and dangerous
rascal brought before him, and straightway concludes
that all poor men bathing are filthy and dangerous.
The syllogism by which he arrives aWhis conclusion
is a LAURIAN one. Oa the same principle, all the
parks should be shut up, because these villains, to
whom Sir PETER alludes, find them convenient places
for their extortions and abominable threats.
Bat that a man, in no way distinguished for large-
nese of knowledge, splendour of virtues, peculiar hu-
manity, or anything else to justify or excuse him in
passing judgment on a large class of his fellows,
should venture thus to throw a slur on the persons
using these baths and wash-houses, and should find a
nephew to support him in the insinuation, is at once
surprising, sad, and disgusting. It indicates that
habit (most unpleasantly characteristic of wealth and
corporate importance in this country) of passing the
most sweeping censures upon the poor on the
lightest provocation ; of speaking to them and of
them as if they belonged altogether to a different
order in the human scale; of forgetting when they are
concerned, not only gentlemanly courtesy, but Chris-
tian charity and common consideration. It is the
same spirit which generally guides workhouse autho-
rities in their dealings with pauper*, and too often
masters and mistresses of the middle class in their
treatment of servants. We have no wish to flatter
the poor. As human beings they are the same as the ,
rich, with the accidents of life very much less in their
favour, and playing havoc with a great deal that is
most necessary to make them good men and good
citizens. Those who tell them that they are always
virtuous, wronged, insulted and trampled under foot
by the rich, are their worst enemies, whatever be
their intentions. But take them with all their good
and bad, both natural and the growth of circum-
stances, and they have a claim as men to be treated
with a respect and consideration which Sir PETER
LAURIE, and others like him, Deems always to forget.
He attacks the plunging-bath, because it may lead
to indecency. This too, remember, when a guard is
continually present, and all dressing and undressing
take place in separate compartments ; so that every
one mast be in the plot for anything indecent to occur
without exposure. In exactly the same spirit a na-
tional schoolmaster, of the LAURIE class of intelli-
gence, being found by the inspectors to have given up
teaching his scholars to write, and asked the reason,
replied that when they did learn writing they only
used the knowledge to write bad words in their books
and on the wale. The inspectors were not satisfied
with this answer ; though of course Sir PETER
LAURIE mint, to be consistent, approve of it entirely.
Probably it was on similar good and sufficient
reasons thathe denounced the "humbug of education,"
because as a magistrate he often found thieves able to
read and write. Really some situation should be found
for this worthy kniAht. Ifs is one of those candles
whose beams are hid under a bushel in Guildhall.
Were it nut that we and eur brethren of the press occa-
sionally take him oat and stick him into oar columns,

a pet deal of hia light world be wasted.
Why does he not get into parliament? COlGnei
SIETRORP is becoming rather stale. We know no
one who would wear the cap and bells of St. Stephen'.
so gracefully QS Sir Prrea LAURIE—the patter down
of swings and suicide, of advertising vans and educa-
tion, of cock-shins and cleanliness. But it is not his
single self, great as that is, that tempta us to notice
him. He is a type. Much of the silly selfishness and
cool conceit, and petty bustling prejudice, Which seem
to keep up the liveliness, but really aid the vis
inertia of society, and either obstruct alt improve-
ment, or mar it in the working, may be traced to its
parochial Sir PETERS, always anxious to be doing,
and al ways doing wrong, not from any well-con-
sidered preference for mischief, but from sheer
inability to draw a sound logical conclusion, and
without that intuitive sense of nght which, for many
persons, supplies the want of logic.

The journals and correspondence of Paris of Wed-
nesday are engrossed by the discussion of postage
reform. The debate was continued in the chamber,
but the result was not doubtful. The new minister
of finance made a speech, in which he reproduced all
the old arguments, so familiar in England, against
the Hill system, and declared that the government
was determined to oppose it now and hereafter.
The National gives, as proceeding from its private
sources of information, that intrigues for the expul-
sion of the Guizot-Duchatel ministry from office have
ripened, and that the new cabinet has been settled
even in its minutest details. For some timp cer-
tain secret agents have, according to that journal,
bean engaged in a negotiation with M. Mole,
whose reluctance to assume the cares and
responsibilities of office have at length been
=mounted. "We give," continues the Nit-
Mona:, " the following list as it has been
given to us, and, without going farther, we say that
It is very probable to be carried into effect : M. Mole,
President of the Council and Minister of Foreign
Affairs ; M. Dufaure, Interior ; M. Hippolyte Passy,
Finance ; M. Dode de la Brunerie, War ; M. Billault,
Marine; M. Vivien,Justice ; M. Darn, Public Works;
M. St. Marc Girardin, Public Instruction ; M. Bignon,
Commerce. Besides these, MM. Itivet, Biaean,&c., are
to be included. The young conservatives represented
by La Freese are to be propitiated by the poet-office,
=toms, &c. This cabinet is to be called " the
ministry of the two centres."
Queen Christina proceeds, in the first instance, to
Rome, and not, as was stated, to Naples. Her imme-
diate object, it is said, is to use her influence at the
Vatican to prevent Queen Isabella front obtaining a
divorce, and thus to secure the succession of the
Duchess of Alontpensier and her consort to the
Spanish throne. In this she will, of course, be sup-
ported by the French ambassador at Rome.
The Minister of Finance brought, on Wednesday,
two important bills before the Chamber—the first, to
the effect tint if, on the Ist May, 1848, the Paris and
Lyons railway company should refuse to execute the
works according to its agreement, the government
should be authorised to take the line in hand, reim-
bursing to the aforesaid company the expense of the
works already carried out, retaining, at the same
time, the double of the caution-money deposited; that
is to say, 24 millions of francs. The second bill pro-
poses a similar proceeding as regards the Lyons and
Avignon line, retaining, however, the simple amount
only of the caution money deposited ; that is, 10
millions.
Advices from Madrid of the 21st init. say that the
Queen was still at Amnjuez, and the King at the
Pardo. The court, however, was expected to return
to Madrid on the 23rd. Private letters from Aranjuez
say that the Queen leads there a regular and mono-
tonous life. She is constantly accompanied in her
walks, rides, and hunting parties, by her father-in-
law, Don Francisco, and her sister-in-law, the Infanta
Josef& who are also present at her receptions.
During the day she receives only her ministers and
the members of her household. In the mornings and
afternoons she walks in the public gardens, and in
the evening visits the theatre.
El Tiempo says, on the authority of its corre-
spondent at Aranjuez, that the msuneuvres to form a
progresaist ministry have failed. M. Olozaga, hav-
ing remained several days at Aranjuez, was on the
point of departure for Logrono.
El Espamd denies that the separation of the King
from the Queen has been caused by any domestic
differences. That journal maintains that it has
originated in the discontent of the King at not being
allowed to exercise direct power in the affairs of the
state.

ROME, Ms: 18.
To-morrow Pius IX. leaves Rome for a prolonged
visit to the Benedictine Abbey of Sahiaco, in the ,1
Apennines, forty-four miles inland. This important
move had been determined on previous to the receipt
of to-day's news describing as desperate the hopes of,
Mr. O'Connell's attendants of dragging him alive to
this capital. No change in our sovereign's projects
can be ascribed to the advent or non-arrival of the
father of repeal ; indeed, when it was known here
that they had decided upon a land journey from
Genoa to the Tuscan frontier, involving the " Pass of
the Magra," of which any of your readers can form
an idea from Stanfield's picture exhibited, as I read,
in this year's gallery, the hopelessness of his coming
alive was demonstrated; their selecting the route to
Lyons by Mont Terme having previously shown how
little conversant they were in practical geography. But
as for our pontiff, his mind is essentially practical;
and in labouring for the substantial welfare of his
people he has an utter disregard for clap-trap and
mere popularity. The object of his visit to that
glorious wilderness is understood to be twofold.
First, he intends to reform the monastery, root
and branch, and restore it to what it was in
1465, when it gave hospitality to the first print-
ing press that was set up in Italy; two
fugitive Germans having claim( d its shelter for the
printing. of the editio prineeps of Lactantius, a copy of
which is carefully preserved in its once splendid
library, type Sweynheim et Pannart:, MCCCCLXV.
The lately defunct Cardinal Polidori was titular abbot
of Sabiaco, a snug sinecure of 6,000 dollars a year. He
is to have no successor in that fat berth, which lapses
into the national treasury, to pay the national debt.
The late Gregory, who granted the sinecure to the
late Polidon, was very partial to a sojourn in these
romantic regions, and from the adjacent village he
brought to Rome his favourite, the famous barber
Gaetanins, who trafficked in all commodities,
sacred and profane, for sixteen years. The
second object of our monarch is to keep
aloof from the turbulent manifestations of popular
applause which he anticipates from a series of new
reforms fixed and decided on, of a most sweeping
character. Financial, administrative, and municipal
decrees will issue from hie retreat at Subiaeo, calcu-
lated to astonish the red-tape politicians of Europe,
and smacking of the old Roman energy of Sixtus
Quintus. How different his position, in this austere
abode; from that of him who wrote verbose epistles
from the island of Capreca to the ghost of a Roman

senate!
Poor Acton is gone to Naples to die ; his life is
not worth a fortnight's purchase, and he was a real
saint. His removal was the signal fur the break up
of a very curious establishment kept on for centuries
here—a government school for young aspirants to
diplomatic and prelatic office, a kind of ecclesiastical
Sandhurst, where " church cadetships " were the sure
reward of successful intrigue and a display of clerical
hypocrisy. Learning was at a low ebb in this snug-
gery, to which none could be admitted but of rich and
noble Roman families ; but in lieu of erudition, all the
arts of cajolery, duplicity, and
_finesse were practically
and theoretically cultivated. Pies has swept away
the nuisance without pity, and seized the hinds for
public use. The institution was a well-meant thing
in its original inception; but, like vegetables which
have been planted in too fat a soil, it had " run to
seed."
English litigation is very rife just now in Rome.
There is the case of an old and respected incumbent, Rev.
F. 'frappes versus Dr. Browne, of Liverpool; Rev. D.
Hearne, for twenty years incumbent of Manchester,
versus the said Dr. Browne, of Liverpool; Rev. Dr.
Can, of Bristol, an old incumbent, versus the new
vicar, Dr. Ullathorne ; with an Irish ease, that of the
Vicar-General of Dromore versus Dr. Blake, of
Newry. These cases, both English and Irish,
are very discreditable to the prudence and forbearance
supposed to form part of the episcopal character. Your
manly and sensible opposition to the capricious des-
potism vested in these "wars" has been duly appre-
ciated here, and has worked well for the public as
well as for the oppressed plaintiffs. It is too bad
th it these functionaries should misspend the moneys
of deceased benefactors of their church, and claim to

do so by papal rescript, pour encourager lea entire,
(ride case of Johnson's fund in midland district). Mr.
Hominy's bill, which was introduced too late is the
session, would go far to remedy these flagrant and
crying abases.
The savings bank here has been rohbed of 40,000
dollars, by one Tamberlick, a creature of Gregory's
barber. This official is safe in Castle St. Angelo.
The greatest financial reform which Pius IX. has
yet effected is in the matter of the hospital of Santo
Spirito, the great Hotel Dien of Rome: its revenues
surpass, in land and houses, 100,0001. a year, and, of
course, the official plunder is proportionate. The
" master of the Spitler had so good a berth of it, that
what with fines (bribes), and other douceurs, in letting
out the property, ho scorned a cardinal's hat, which
was his on resigning his office. He has been cashiered,
and the management put into the care of efficient and
honest laymen.
The Princess Barberini is dead, and lies in state.
I have to record another investment of Lord Ward :
this time he has bought, from a set of old monks who
' live close by the Fontana di Treri, a gallery of thirty
pictures—some good and some bad—for the round
sum of 27,000 dollars.

DEBATE ON FREE TRADE IN THE FIRST
PRUSSIAN CHAMBER.
BERLIN, MAY 26.—Perhaps the most important de-
bate that Las yet taken place in the Diet—assuredly that in
which foreigners are most interested—is that which took place
in the chamber of the high noblesse on the 17th inst., on re-
ceiving the report of the committee to which Prince Lick.
nowskis petition and memorial respecting the Zollverein
duties on yarn, and differential duties on ships. The
memorial complained that the late raising of the duties on
cotton yarns from two to three dollars per centner, and on
linen yarns from 6 silver groschen to two dollars per centner,
had not given an impetus to the home manufacture of yarns,
and had been attended with a diminution in the export of
goods. On this ground it was proposed to levy a duty
of five dollars per centres on all linen cotton, and woollen
yarns imported, and to grant a drawback of four dollars on
goods exported. It was also proposed to impose differential.
duties on foreign in favour of Prussian ships, to arrest the
alleged diminution of the national shipping. The report of
the committee was guarded in the extreme. It stated that
the controversies relating to the duties on yarns, to the ex-
pediency of drawbacks, and to a avetem of differential ditties,
could not be considered as definitively settled by the deci-
sion of the last conference of the Zollverein; that the pet 6
tion ought, therefore, to be presented to the King with the
expression of a. wish on the part of the Chamber
of the high noblesse, that the Prussian government,
after taking the opinion of the owners of factories,
and of the Chambers of Commerce in the western, and the
Merchant guilds in the eastern provinces, should again move
the question in the next conference of the Zollverein. Count
Itzeoplits, appointed by the committee to tender and explain
their report, was as careful not to commit himself by ex-
pressing an opinion as the report itself. En nossant, how-
ever, he admitted that the raising of the duties had done
more harm than good. Prince Frederic of Prussia adverted
to the sufferings of the working classes in Prussia, and ex-
pressed a wish that something might he done to gire them
additional employment. M. von Duesberg, Minister
of Finance, declared that government were anxious
to learn the views and wishes of the nation on the important
questions raised by the petition ; that they believed these
views and wishes might best he gathered from the sentiments
of the estates general ; and they were determined not to give
a bias to the expression of these opinions by uttering their
own in advance. He wished, however, to direct the atten-
tion of the diet to certain considerations. The first was, that
any alteration of the existing Zollverein duties depended not
upon the will of the Prussian government, but of the union,
and that a resolution to alter them could only be carried
by an unanimous vote of the conference. The second was
that with regard to the commercial legislation of Prussia,
free trade had been the rule since 1818. The exceptional
protective duties had been allowed, but never at a higher
rote than 10 per cent. Under this legislation the national
manufactures which had languished under the old restrictive
system had made rapid advancer. Between 1831 and 1843
the number of looms employed in the manufacture of silk
and half-silk goods had increased from 8,956 to 16,911 ; the
number of cotton and halteotton Porn., from 25,464 to
47,717; the woollen looms, from 15,360 to 17,911; the
stocking looms, from 2,110 to 2,272. The only falling off
was in the linen manufacture. He begged to observe, that
the quantity of exported goods was no sufficient criterion
of the prosperity of manufactures. Between 1834.6 and
1843-5, the import of cotton twist consumed in this country
increased from 242,000 centner to 438,000: in 1846 the in-
crease was still greater. During the some time the import
of cotton increased from 120,000 to 340,000. The increase
of the raw material and the hall-manufecture was more than
double. But the whole amount of exported cotton goods was
only 77,000 centner. In other words, six-sevenths of
their cotton manufactures were consumed in the country,
and only one.seventh exported. Their manufacturing In-
dustry was evidently or, the increase ; and, as the imports of
cotton had increased in a somewhat larger ratio than those
of twist, it was obvious that the spinners too had
participated in the advance. He begged to observe
that, when the question of differential duties was brought
before the conference at Carlsruhe by the Pros-ian
government, the sense of the Union was found
decidedly opposed to it. With reglad to the Prussian user.
cantile marine, M. von Duesberg produced some statistical
, tables, to show that it was on the increase under the existing
system. The Crown Prince expressed a wi-h that any
branch of Prussian industry that might be depressed should
be supported by protective duties ; which he thought might
be done without discarding the general fundamental prin I
ciple of free-trade. With respect to differential duties,
he was for favouring the shipping of those nations
which favoured theirs. He adverted to an article
which had appeared in a certain journal, to the effect that
there was net likely to be any conference of the Zollverein
this year, end wished the Minister of Finance to declare
whether that was really the case, or whether, as he hoped,
the article was an unacknowledged one (ein vertorner
Zeilungs artikel). The Minister of Finance said that the
tariff of the Zollverein could not be altered except at the end
of every three years. The period at present running termi-
nated next year ,• and, under these circumstances, it
was very unlikely that any conference would be held
during the present. Prince Adalbert, of Prussia, expressed
his concurrence with what had fallen from the Crown Prince.
Count Sandretzky (Silesia) protested against all protective
duties which fostered manufactures like hothouse plants.
He had witnessed during the past winter the fatal effects of
encouraging artificial industries. Count Shaffgotsch, of
Warmbrunn (Silesia), adverted to the decline of the linen
manufacture in his province since 1799, and advocated pro-
tective duties as necessary for the interest of the working
elegies. Count Dyrhn said that the collocate of protective
duties was simply this : A hags protective duty which injures
B, and therefore 41 must have a protective duty to injure A.
Count DohnneLsuck (Prussia) would be inclined to vote fur
higher protective duties, because he believed the majority of
the nation wished them. The risk of reprisals must, how-
ever, be taken into consideration. M. von SenfthPilsach
cross-questioned the Minister of Finance with a view to
elicit information respecting the intentions of government,
but the minister was too many for him. Prince lechnowsky
spoke his own memorial over again. H. Kiihne (general
director amen) adverted to the fact that the linen manu-
facture, said to be the mostdepressed, was the least
exposed to competition. He did not see what increased
duties could do to help it. It was true there were dis-
turbances at present among the unemployed linen-weavers ;
but there had also been riots, and for the same cause, among
theMinl79o,when the system of protection was most stringent.
Count Von Arnim inclined to the protective system; the
most flourishing branch of national industry—the woollen
manufacture—was that which had been most protected, He
advocated differential duties on shipping as the only means
of inducing the north-sea states to join the Zollverein.
He wished to see a German navy created. The General
Director of Taxes and Prince Adalbert of Prussia stated
some facts which allowed that the Prussian marine was in-
creasing wider the existing system. Count Ds rhea begged
to correct a statement made by Count Arnim : the cloth
manufacture was quite as much depressed in Silesia as the
linen. Count Zieten pointed out that the depression of the
linen manufacture was in great part owing to the use of
cottons having superseded that of linens. The report of the
committee was adopted with a slight modification.

FRANCE.—Toe CANON TRISTANY.—The Journal
des Dibags publishes the following particular. respecting the
celebrated Carlin chief, Tristany, contained in a letter dated
Barcelona the 20th instant r—'• The execution of Tristany,
on the 17th, at SoLsona, which he had burnt 10 years before,
wee attended by an immense concourse of people. That
earliest chief, who from 1833 to 1840 never gave quarter to
any of his enemie., and who, from a calculation made by a
journal of our city, must have shot about 1,200 persons,
evinced no courage at his lot hour. It was necessary to sup-
port him on his way to the place of execution, and he was
unable to conceal his dejection and the terror that agitated
him. The day Tristany fell into the hands of the Queen's
troops, another Carlist chief, Roe de Eroles, who lately
arrived from France, was surprised in a country house
by a detachment of the troops of Colonel Baum..
Having refused to surrender, he fell pierced with several
bullets. The pariah priest, Jose Resell, and commander
Valcrio Roca, who had likewise arrived from France,
having been taken with arms in their hands, were shot
the next day. The Captain-General, Pavia, has published
a proclamation, granting a complete amnesty to all the
factious who should submit within a delay of eight days.
The death of Tristany and Roe de Eroles will probably cause
the dispersion of all the insurgent bands. Tristany, by his
experience, his influence, and extraordinary vigour, was the
soul of the Carlist movement Ciltaiollll. He was bsrn at
Ardebol, and was 63 years of age. He had studied at
Solsona, where he made himself conspicuous by his agility
in all bodily exercises. and his untitneee for all laborious
Undies. In 1622 his family wished him to enter Holy °niers,
and he was only admitted to them after the third examina-
tion. Tristany hod scarcely been ordained a month when
the events of 1822, recalled him to his natural vocation,
and induced him to levy a corps of Royalist partisans.
The services he rendered the Rey neto caused him to I
be nominated in succession Captain, Commander, Colo.
nel, and Brigadier. At the clue of the war Ferdi-
nand VII. conferred on him the dignity of canon of the
Cathedral of Gerona. This new office was little suited to
his taste. He was oftener enjoying the sports of the field
than praying with the chapter, and he sometimes client
several dos and night-. together in the mouttaine. He him-
self used to say that he cos fitter to hold a sword than a
breviary. lie took arms Beaus in 1833, add only laid

them down in 1840. His exploits and atrodtive during the'
seven years' civil war are well known. Every soldier or
militia man who became his prisoner was put to death with-
out exception. As to the inoffensive civilians, he was in the
habit of fixing a pitch cap en their heads, sad sending them
home after they had endured the most excruciating suffer-
ings. From 1840 to 1846 Trietany constantly remained
in the mountains of Arbedol. He lived in the woods
and , and sometimes received hostritslity in isolated
houses whose owners were devoted to hue. Hu life was
leveret times menaced by deceived husbands or forsaken
I lovers, for he often abused the confidence placed in him to
gratify his passions. He was a man of ferocious habits and
dissolute morals."
A naval court-martial assembled at Toulon on the
21st inst., Admiral Parseval-Dechines acting as president,
to try Lieut. Costlier, of the royal navy, for the lass of the
Caraibe steamer on the western coast of Midas. According
to the regulations, in every vessel commanded by a capilaine
de volume, the second in command must be a capitaine de
corvette; but in the case in question, it appeared from the
evidence that there was no capilaine de corvette on board
the Caraibe, and that the command f the v. soel, in the
absence of the capitaine de vaisseau, devolved on Lieut.
Costlier. It was proved also that this latter officer, whose
experience in naval matters was fully acknowledged, had
constantly taken his orders from Admiral Montagne& de la
Roque, the officer in command of the squadron on the west-
ern coast of Africa, whose flag was floating from the vessel
that was wrecked. The court, after duly weighing the evi-
dence, gave in a verdict of acquittal.DENMAßK.—A Leith correspondent of the North
British Mail says that the Danish government has des-
patched ships of war to St. Petersburgh, to bring cargoes of
rye te Copenhagen.

THE QUEEN'S BIRTH-DAY.

During the whole of yesterday, which was ap-
pointed for the celebration of Her Maiedy's birth-day, the
weather was t xceedingly fine, and the streets were crowded
with multitudes desirous of witnessing the various public pro-
ceedings and spectacles. Among the mast attractive were the
reviews.
The customary military inspection of the household
troops took place in St. James's-park.
Shortly before elevc.a o'clock. the whole of the enrolled
pensioners belonging to the Lendon district, including thole
from Woolwich, were mustered in rev:ee' order in Hyde
Park. Sir John klac-Jonald, Adjutant-General, and a nu-
merous staff, having arrived on the ground, were received
with a general salute. Having been inspected, the pension-
ers then earthed past at slow and quick time, re-formed line
and advanced by wings, each wing firing a volley. They
were then formed Into battalions, each batta.ion firing a vol-
ley and retiring to the rear. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony, Sir John Macdonald advanced towards the troops,
and expressed to Col. Talloch and the other officer, his high
gratnieation at the accuracy with which the pensioners had
passed through their evolutions, which he stated could not
be excelled by any of the regular troops. At half part one
o'clock the men were diimiesed, all those who came a dis-
tance of above five miles being billeted in London. To-
morrow morning they wiU mumble at eight o'clock in
Hyde Park, to be inspected by H.R.11. Prince !abed and
the Duke of Wellington. The Grand Duke Constantine will
also be present.
Another military spectacle took place at Woolwich. The
troops of that garrison not on duty assembled on the comma
at eleven o'clock, to the number of from 3,000 to 1,000 Sm.
They consist clef the Royal Horse Artillery, Royal Artillery.
Sappers and Miners, Road Marines, and the men belonging
to the field batteries. A large number of recruits, who are
passing through the so riota stages of drill, were drawn up in
two twinge in the rear, without arffis and accoutre-
ments, and the burl of each corps accompanied the
troops, the Royal Artillery band being stationed
in the centre of the right and left wing of that
carpi. The whole of the troops were under the command of
Lieut-Colonel C. Cruttenden, inspector of drills. Shortly
before 12 o'clock, Major-General Sir T. Downman, coat-
=lndent of the garrison, attended by a numerous staff of
royal artillery and royal engineer officers, arrived on the
ground, and took up his statton in front of the troops, and
the British ensign was hoisted. At 12 o'clock the proceedings
commenced by the Royal Horse Artillery firing a royal
salute at twenty-one guns, which was followed by • feu de-
joie along the whole line. This was continued three times,
the bands between the salutes playing " God save the
Queen." The field batteries and the horse artillery having
fired three rounds each, the men throughout the line gave
three hearty cheer,. The commandant and hie staff then
rode up the front and down the rear of the line, and the
troop■ having mar• bed past, the staff filed off and returned
to their respective barracks.
At the close of the military spectacles, crowds of spectators
stationed themselves near the approaches to St. James's

shall easily avail ourselves of such an opportunity for giving every ex-
planation which our public cooductmay appear to require. We think,
however, that there is scarcely time for due notice before next Than.
diy ; and that being the Queen's birthday, we have special engage.
silents connected with It; and others may, also, for the same reason,
be unable to attend. We hope, therefore, that some Liter di, may be
ound equally convenient to the gentlemen who call the meeting ; and
we shall be obliged by your reply—We remain, sir, your most obetii-
ent servants, B. &MOO' CHARLES Tosotoox re EON oOr or.—To J. L.
Stevens, Esq.
London, Slay 21, 1547.
Sir,—Since writing our letter last night, we have seen the meeting
advertised In the Times newspaper; and I am (we are) sure you will
see. that as it does not appear to be called by a body of electors, we
could not attend It without creating a precedent which would be
very inconvenismt ; although we ere ready to attend nay general
borough meeting duly convened. As we before explained. a meeting
on the 27th that. would clash with our positive engagements for cele-
brating the Queen's birthday.—We remain, Mr, your most obedient
servants, B. Ilawm, CILAILES TCONY D'ETOCOVAT. —To J. L.
Stevens, Eaq.
Another letter was sent by Mr. Stevens, pressing Messrs.
Hawes and D'Eyncourt to attend. The reply was as
follows :

London, May 24, 1847.
Sir,--We have receive d yours of the 21th Mot, winch requests an
answer this day, We can only refer to our former letter.; and, so
you do not even give the name of a single elector concerned in calling
the meeting, awl as it has not been announetal with the sanction and
notice there suggested, we must decline attending it en a great pub-
lic holiday, for the celebration of which we, and probahly others,
have formed engagements. With regard to our own interests, to
which you refer, wr lore none connected with the borough of Lam-
beth distinct from thee, of our constituents; and we rely upon our
conviction that they will approve the couror we are now tal.ng. We
remain, sir, your most obedient servants, B. Ilswes, Citutua Tea.

The BAIT. /OEN BURNET, amid mach uproar and inter-
ruption, proceeded to move the first resolution, the purport of
which was, that Mr. Has es, having recently voted against
the entire and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, against the
extersion of the suffrage, and the repeal of the ratepaying
clauses of the Reform Bill, in favour of the continunace of '
corporal punishment and of the grant to Maynooth ; also,
having accepted office without previous conferecee with his
constituents, had more or less deviated from the views of the 11
latter, and that, therefore, the meeting disapproved of his
conduct. The rev. speaker proceeded to state why lie dis-
approved of Mr. Ilawea' conduct. He disapproved of aay
man who would out of the public purse provide means of
education for any religious denomination. (Cheers and
interruption.) He would object to receiving the money of
the state himself, and, therefore, he objected to its being
given to any other religious denomination. (Hear, Lear.)
He objected to the miuntes of the Council of Education,
because they went to put men apprentices to learn the
trade of schoolmaster, and if they proved unfit
handed them over to the customs or excise, thus
maintaining them at the public expense. (Hear and uproar,
and cries of " Why not? ") If the people were to be edu-
cated by the government, they would be educated for the
government, and he would ask what was to become of the
independence of Englishmen, if they were to receive their
education from the government? (Cheers.) The rev.
gentleman concluded, amid much noise and clamour, by
reading the resolution.
Mr. FELLER seconded the resolution. The speaker re-
viewed the parliamentary conduct of Mr, Hawes, complain-
ing principally of his votes on the Maynooth grant, and
on Mr. Villiers' motion for the immediate and total repeal
of the corn-laws. He said that if Mr. Hawes had eighteen 1
months previously come before his constituents, and told
them the course he was about to take, he would have been
met by universal disapproval.
Mr. GRADY, an el,ctor, defended the parliamentary con-
duct of Mr. Hawes, particularly with reference to the May-
nooth grant, which he contended was merely a measure of
partial restitution. As to the corn-laws, they were defunct,
and could only be then alluded to in a spirit of wanton hos-
tility
to Mr. Hawes. The question of the rate-paying chutes
of the Reform Bill was also about to receive a eatitfactory
solution, inasmuch LI Lord John Russell intended immedi-
ately to introduce a bill on the subject. Mr. Grady con-
cluded by moving an amendment on the last resolution to the
effect that Mr. Hams' parliamentary conduct during the
long period of fourteen years had been such as to entitle him
to the confidence of the electors.
Mr. MEAD, in seconding the amendment, said that only
three votes of Mr. Hawes had been brought forward, upon
which it was proposed to condemn him. The hon. member,
however, had voted for Mr. Villieri'motions fora repeal of
the corn laws, when Lord John Russell opposed them,
although certain gentlemen who talked about " charity"
had spoken of the noble lord as the master of Mr. Hawes.
(Hear, and laughter.) He had voted for Mr. Ward's mo-
tion for an inquiry into the peculiar burdens upon
land; he had voted for Bir John Easthope's motion
to abolish church-rates ; for Mr. Ward's motion to inquire '
into Irish church temporalities ; had voted for the grant to
Maynooth (cheers and great uproar;; and, finally, he had
voted against a purely secular education, because dimwit=
would not allow the bible to be excluded in any Teeth of
education. (Hear, hear.) The opposition of the dissenters
made it clear that they were more afraid of Church of 1
Englandism than of ignorance. (Cheers, and cries of
" No no.") There were in this country. at the present time,
five millionsi of children who could neither read nor write—
(hear, hear)—and the dissenters objected to their education
because they thought that the Church of England would
reap the benefit of it. The speaker proceeded to defend the
conduct of Mr. Hawes, and concluded by an earnest appeal
to the meeting on his behalf.
Mr. M'Ctoen could not find it in his heart to oppose Mr.
Hawes merely because he had given only one or two objec-
tionable votes, when his general parliamentary career was
unobjectionable.
After a few words from a Mr. Bnower, Mr. FALL com-
pleined that a day had been fixed for the meeting on which
it was impossible fur either of the members to attend. Mr.
Fall attempted to address some further observations to the
meeting in defence of tae political conduct of Mr. Hawes,
but the noise and confusion was so great, that he was
obliged, after several vain efforts, to resume he seat.
The Rev. J. Bertear having replied, the CHAIRMAN put
the amendment to the meeting, and a show of hands having
been taken, it was declared to be negatived.
Mr. Thostee Heaver thought the electors ought in
justice to give Mr. Hawes an opportunity of meeting the
electors face to face, and defending his conduct—(cheers)
and if be were found to have betrayed the trust reposed
in him, berithould like to see Mr. D. W. Harvey substituted
for the present member, but he was sure that Mr. Harvey
would not like to come in behind the back of the present
member; he should, therefore, move that the meeting be
adjourned fora week, in order to give the sitting members
an opportunity of explaining their conduct to their con-
stituent'. (Loud cheers.)
The amendment was then put, and negatived. The
original resolution, disapproving of the conduct of Mr.
Hawes, was next put, and carried by a large majority.
The Rev. W. MIRAMS then moved a resolution, expressing
disapproval of the parliamentary conduct of Hr. D'Eyneourt.
The motion having been seconded, was declared to be cats
ried, an amendment, the object of which was, to adjourn the
meeting for a fortnight, having been negatived,
Mr. Ritisoron proposed that a requisition be presented
to Mr. D. W. Harvey, inviting him to become a candidate
for the borough of Lambeth at the next election. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN stated that the committee who had been
instrumental in convening the meeting, had written to Mr.
D. W. Harvey, to impairs if he would object to become a
candidate, and his reply would be read if the meeting wished
it. A scene of great uproar ensued, amidst which several
voices exclaimed "Read, reed." The following letter was
then read :
