TORTSMOUTH, JAN. 2.:ll;;6:ilumbia, st.-surveying ship,
Lieut. Commanding I'. Shortland, arrived at Spitheed on
Friday evening from Plymouth, and sailed again the follow-
ing morning (or Chatham, to be paid off. The Hag of Rear-
Admiral Owen was flying on board this ship on her arrival
and during her stay at this port.—The Acheron, at. survey-
ing vessel, Capt. Stokes, arrived on Thursday, and sailed
yesterday morning for New Zealand.—The Cygnet, 6, Com-
mand. O. Kenyon, was paid advance wages on Friday, and
having taken on board the packages of silver coin for St.
Helena, put to sea yesterday morning with the mail bags for
the following places :—Madeira, Verde Islands (to be landed
at St. lege), Sierra Leone, Ascension, and St. Helena. The
Cygnet is afterwards to return to Ascension, and be at-
tached to the African squadron.—The Dart, Lieut.
Glynn, has captured a slave brig of 400 tons, having
on board 340 slaves, and sent her to Sierra Leone
for adjudication, in charge of Mr. Charles Slaughter.—
The Meander, 44, Capt. the Hon. H. Keppel, will leave this
port about the 20th inst., with the Rajah of Sarawak.
A COURT-MARTIAL is ordered to assemble for the trial of
Mr. Thos. Andrews, carpenter of the Birkenhead, et., on
charges of drunkenness and mutinous conduct.
A QUESTION ON FLAO-110ISTIN7E—We understand that
some difference of opinion existed at Devonport on Monday,
with reference to Rear-Adm. W. F. Owen, who has come
borne in the Columbia st.-v., from North America, and has
since been gazetted to the rank of Rear-Adm., having •
right to hoist his Hag. The gallant Rear-Admiral raised
the question by hoisting it, when the Com.-in-Chief, Sir J.
West, ordered him to strike it. Rear-Adm. Owen did so,
but maintained his right to keep it Hying ; and the matter
has been referred to the Admiralty.
WOOLWICH, JAN. I.—The Banshee, a new wooden
steam-packet, built by Thompson, of Rotherhithe, from the
designs of 0. Lang, Jun., with engines of 350 horse power,
by Penn, was tried down the river yesterday. Her speed
was reported to be 18i miles an hour through the water.
This is said to be less than the speed realised from the Ca-
'doe, the sister boat, built by Ditchburn, and made of iron,
*ern the designs of Sir W. Symonds; but the Banshee is
not yet in full working order, and it is possible that a higher
rate of speed may yet be obtained.

thought a few were getting apprehcn- ve, these
gentlemen began to besiege the whole nody with
advisee to sign petitions against the ten hours clause
ready made for them. This roused in the first place
the esprit de corps of the workmen ; and hi, one who
has had any communications with the people of the
manufacturing districts can be ignorant low strong
this is in any question of which masters and men have
been accustomed to take different views. But worse
remains behind : the premature movement of the
masters has afforded a handle to the leading agitators
of the short-time movement to misrepresent both
their motives and their actions. The question, how-
ever, is again raised, and as sincere friends of the
working classes—unbiassed by any share direct or
indirect in manufacturing speculations—we have but
one duty : to beg of them net to cut their o .vn throats
in a foolish spirit of partisanship and of slu.ine to con-

OXFORDSIIIRE.

LABOURERS AND EMI6RATION.—A public meeting
was held in the Town-hall, Wallington, on Tuesday last,
for th • purpoee of affording information to a numerous clam
of agricultural labourers, who are anxious to join their
friends, who are doing well in Australia.—Mr. J. Green gave
a lengthened detail, describing the vut amount of misery
existing in this country. In his opinion it was partly occu-
pied by a redundant population, who depreciated the labour
market, lowered wages, and induced distress. To remedy
the evil providence has given to our country one of the
most beautiful islands in the world, capable of support-
ing a population nearly equal to all Europe, combining
within its vast resources eve.y blessing capable of nak-
lag the human race happy. Its extent and climate
comprehending the beauties of Spain and Portugal, the
luxuriance of Egypt, together with the richness of China,and
only required the labour of man to produce in great abund-
ance the various fruits with which these countries abound.
He then went on to read a mass of original letters received
from persons who, a few years ago, had emigrated from this
neighbourhood, and who are now rapidly growing rich and
respectable. The hall was crowded to excess with people
willing to hear, but some interested penoas used every
effort to create a disturbance by exciting others to break the
stools, &c., and by crying out, "Go to the workhouse, they
must keep you then." On the following day thirty-three
individuals, including families, applied to be allowed a free
pa-sage to Australia.

DENMARK.

All particulars relating to the reception of the
deputies from Sieswig and Holstein, which were con-
tained in our letters from Copenhagen arrived this
morning, have been anticipated. (See page 3.) But
the active proceedings in Denmark to reduce these
provinces, and the feelings of the Danes, may be
collected from'the following paragraphs:

COPENHAGEN, Haile 24.
The royal steam-ships Hernia, Sla.rnr, Geiser, and
(Egar, along with two frigates, which are to be towed by
the steamers, will to-night, if possible, transport troop* and
ammunition to the scene of action. The greater port of the
forces are destined for Friderlcsort, the most important
point in Sleswig.
The answer that the deputies bear to those who sent them
is contained in the following placard, which has this day
been printed and distributed by thousands throughout the
city by the crown:—
The King's Greeting to the Inhabitants of Copenhagen :
"Two days are cone since ye thanked us with joyful
cheers, because we had anticipated your wishes.
" Now do we thank you for the peace and order ye have in
these days maintained.
"The Sleswig-Holstein missionaries we haves tritlai, that
we have neither the power nor the will to let leswig join
in the German Confederation, nor to be separated from our
beloved fatherland; hut, on the contrary, that Denmark
and Sleswig shall be united under a free constitution,
with as much provincial independence an possible
for SI( swig; and that Holstein, the contrary, as a German
confederate state, shall have its own free constitution.
"We have thus made what concessions we can. Is our
offer not accepted ? We with our whole Danish people will
maintain Denmark's worth.

"The safety of the fileswig-Holstein missionuies we en-
trust to the honour of our Danish people.

THURSDAY EVINING.
The confirmation in the fullest extent of the Intel
ligence given yesterday in the Daily Nesca of the
movements of the Sardinian army and monarch upon
Lombardy, of the clearance of Milan of the Austrian
troops by the people in insurrection, with, to-day, re-
ports of insurrections in the Tyrol, told, as they could
hardly fail to tell, upon the funds. Console, from the
opening prices of 811 to 2 gradually declined to 801„
but left off at 801 to 11. Exchequer Bills were 30s.

Stock for account 192 to 4.
The transactions in foreign stocks were chiefly con-
fined to the sales and purchases required for the ba-
lancing of accounts for the settlement, which takes
place to-morrow. Some Russian stock was brought
to, or rather forced upon, the market late in the day,
and realised only in the separate bargains from 74 to
77. It was stated, however, that the stock was
offered, or actually done, after business hours as low
as 72. The disturbed state of Poland, and apprehen-
sions of Russian aggression elsewhere, were the causes
assigned for the continued downward movement in
Russian stock. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
were quoted 38 to 40; the Fours 57 to 9. Belgian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 55 to 6. Spanish Fives,

Portuguese, 14 to 13. Mexican, 15 to Peruvian,
22 to 4. Brazilian, 65 to 70.
It may be of some convenience to parties interested
to know that the payment of the dividends falling
due upon various stocks (foreign non-inclusive),
strictly speaking, on the sth proximo, but which are
not usually paid for some days after, will commence
for the public on Saturday, the Bth of April, but for
bankers two days previously. Among the stocks
which will thus be entitled, are the Threes Reduced,
the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., Long Annuities,
1860, old South Sea Annuities, and Bank Stock.
The committee of the Stock Exchange, in pursuance
of the determination before come to, so far as the
principle, have now proceeded to shorten the inter-
vals of the time accounts, by fixing the 9th of May
for the next settling day after the accoust row run-
ning, which expires on the 13th of next mouth. This
beings time bargains and their liquidation within the
month, which in times like the present, when fluc-
tuations of prices are so frequent and violent, will
serve materially perhaps to diminish the risk to
which speculators have been hitherto exposed. The
day in question was not fixed without previous con-
sultation with the authorities of the Bank, and is so
timed as to fall about the same time as the Bank
books are shut, in preparation for the July dividends.

DISTURBANCES AT LIMERICK. .

Mr. HAMILTON asked whether the government had re-
ceived any corroboration of the report in that morning's

Irelanders and the Young, In which the leaders of the insur-
rectionary party bad been saved from extreme personal dan-

Sir G. GREY said he had received a letter from the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, which substantially corroborated the
statements in the newspapers to which the hon. member re-
ferred. There had been a meeting of about 400 persons, at
which Dieser.. Smith O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher were
present. The meeting was attacked by the people of

it was to the prompt interposition of the military and police

REPORTED ADVANCE OF THE
FRENCH ARMY INTO SAVOY.

PARIS. WEDNESDAY, 6 P.W.
We are assured that the Provisional Government
yesterday received a telegraphic despatch, announcing
that the army of the Alps had entered Savoy.
The greatest uncertainty prevails as to the probable
president of the Assembly. The names however of
M.M. Itecurt (Adjoint to the Mayor of Paris), and
M. Senard (Procureur-General at Rouen), are men-
tioned.

A report ie circulated that M. Thiers will be put up
ibe some one of the numerous departments to be va-
cated by M. Lamartine.
The incendiary placards and publications with
which Paris has been deluged for several days, have
determined the government to adopt extraordinary
measures of precaution. Several battalions of the
Guard Mobile and a squadron of cavalry are stationed
en permanence around the Hotel de Vile. Several
companies of the national guard have also been sum-
moned to assemble in pickets, and to be ready to
march at the first stroke of the "rappel."
The following article from the Atelier, an organ
edited and established by the operative classes, and
understood to express the sentiments of working men,
has to-day an article which has excited a unanimous
expression of satisfaction. I subjoin it here,
to show that, although there may be among the
working classes many that are misled and excited
by the orators of the Luxembourg and the
writer of La Reforms or Commune de Paris, there
is still a number sufficiently large and intelligent to
support a journal like the Atelier, who think and feel
otherwise :

not sufficiently represented in the Contitassa Assembly, we

before Lords hiedwyn and Mackenzie, upon charges

the Lord Mayor and osrperatiOn Of the CitY of londiin for
similar favour. If then detailed the income of the assn-
elation, which amounted to something above 1,4001., arising
chiefly from the entertainments above-mentioned, and the
expenditure in relieving the distress consequent upon the
condition of a long exile. It then congratulated the asso-
ciation on the return of Lord Dudley Stuart to parliament.
The motion on Poland, brought in the House of Commons
by Mr. Anatey, on the 4th of April, was next referred to,
and a desire expressed that the subject might shortly again
come before the public in all its integrity. The report went
on to review various events which had occurred in the course
of the past year, bearing upon the cause of Poland, par-
ticularly the slaughter of the nobles, organised by the
Austrian government in Galicia, the authors of which, in-
stead of being brought to trial fur the crimes committed,
had been remunerated with gold and honours, like Seek
and hie companions. The death of the two Polish patriots
at Limburg, which produced great marks of sympathy
from the whole population to that town, was most
strongly and touchingly pourtrayed, and the character of
the Austrian cabinet, then represented by Prince Metter-
nich, exhibited is its darkest colours. A long description
of the medal presented in December last by the Polish
Historical Societies of London and of Paris to Prince
Adam Czartoryski, in token of his devotion and eminent
services rendered to Poland, also formed a prominent
feature. The report concluded with the hope that the time of
the regeneration of Poland was now nearer than ever, and that
whatever the difficulties which at present seemed to obstruct its
speedy progress, the cause of ju-tice must and would have
hi ultimate triumph.—Voteebf thanks were panted to Sir J.
Clarke and Dr. Forbes, who administer gratuitous advice to
the Poles, to Mr. Birkbeck, the honorary secretary, and to
M. Szulexewski, the resident secretary, for their unwearied
exertions in behalf of the Polish cause. The last named
gentleman is shortly about to quit England to serve his
country in another sphere ; and in carrying the vote of
thanks to him a very high and gratifying tribute was paid
to his talents, real, energy, and integrity. Lord D.
Stuart acknowledged the compliment which had been
paid to the vice-presidents ; and the meeting separated.

LOMB ARDY.—The riedinonteBeGarette of the 27th
states that Gen. Durand° was ordered with his division
to the Frioul. The Austrians, having made an at-
tempt to take possession once more of the northern
point of the lake of Garda, by disembarking at
Ponale, were repulsed at the point of the bayonet by
the column 'f hamberg. The volunteers have fortified
Rocca il'Anfono and garrisoned Vestone. By a pro-
clamation from Venice of the 24th the inhabitants
are informed that the Tuscan General Ferrari was on
his march to the Frioul with artillery. and cavalry,
and that Durand') had sent him a reinforcement of
three battalions of grenadier., clamours, and Swim
troops.

IMPORTANT VICTORY OF CHARLES-ALBERT
OVER THE AUSTRIANS, NEAR VERONA.

PARIS, SCNDAT, 680 P.M
I have just heard, from a quarter on which the
fullest reliance may be placed, the Charles-Albert
has gained a comilete victory over the Austrians. I
canal obtain any details, bat I believe the news has
reached Paris by telegraph.
I have no French news to communicate since my
despatches of this morning but that M. Lucien
Murat, son of the ex-king of Naples, and a
re, resentative in the National Assembly, asked leave
of absence, in the sitting of yesterday, for a month, to
execute a commission entrusted to him by the govern-
ment. The place or object of his mission is not cer-
tainly known, but I am informed that he is gone to
Rome. He left Paris last night.
The banking house of Messrs. Paccard, Dufour,
sad Co., who some time since suspended their pay-
ments, having arranged their affairs and satisfied all
their liabilities, have now resumed business.

ITALY.—A letter from Genoa, of the 25th, brings I
Dews from Rome, which appears to be posterior to
that I sent in my despatches of this morning. It

mention of the appointment of a Provisional Govern-
butt It also says the Pope prt.s.:rves an attitude
full of calm ar.d firmness.
' Advice' received to-day from Venice confirm the
report of the raising of the investment of that city
by General Walden, which I sent you yesterday.
Advices of the 25th, from the head-quarters of the
!=ardinian army, state that the engagement near Ve-
rona was still continued with unabated determination.

UNITED STATES.

To the news given yesterday we append some
further inte ligenee received by the Acadia.
We learn by the barque Clarissa, !arrived at New
York from Ponce, Porto Rico, that a French govern-
ment stlooner had arrived with some 30 passengers
from Martinique. A report had been received at
Ponce when the Clarissa left, that the white inhabit-
ants had assembled and driven the blacks out of the
city. The government of Porto Rico had issued a
proclamation, on hr wring the news from Martinique,
to the slaves on the island, to avoid any insurrection,
as they would be punished without mercy.
The court of inquiry on Gen. Scott had net yet
concluded its sittings.
The intelligence from Yucatan shows that the
Indians were increasing in strength and continued
their devastations, putting to death all who fell- into
their hands. A large Indian force was near Ticul,
22 miles from Merida, and advancing rapidly toward
that city. Sitilpech was taken by storm on the 18th
of May, and Sisal was crowded with refugees from
the interior, whose lands had been laid ware°. From
the town of Cilan, district of Motul, the
government troops were obliged to retreat fight-
mg. The Indians occupied the town, burnt
some houses, and left when the troops retired.
In Ticul, in Cachulchea, Sacalum, Tecoli, Iluhi, and
other places, there had been numerous actions be-
tween the whites and savages. Numbers of the
American soldiers were enlisting to proceed to
Yucatan and assist the whites agains the Indians.
Among them were Colonel Geary, of the 2nd Penn-
sylvanians, and Lieut.-Colonel Whitfield, of the 3rd
Tennesseeans. The former is spoken of as military
commander of the expedition. Whole companies of
the Pennsylvania, New York, and Tennessee volun-
teers, were said to be ready to re-enter for this ex-'
pedition. Enlistments of the same kind and sub-
scriptions were being made at New Orleans for the
same purpose.

ITALY.

The Frasier° lialiaso of Genoa states from Leg-
horn, 23rd inet, that Father Oavazzi, who had been
some time ago the cause of disturbances at Florence,
on account of his political declamations, had arr.ved
at Leghorn, on board the Achilles steamer.
On his proceeding to Florence the government took
extraordinary ptectution.,; the National Guard was
under arms, and great excitement prevailed, in conse-
quence of the most absurd and contradictory rumours
which gained belief among the people. At eleven
o'clock of the 23rd the excitement gained Leghorn ;
the people destroyed the telegraph, the governor des-
patches were intercepted, and numerous crowds
formed. At two p.m. the government was obliged
to take refuge in the fortress, while the people had
seized several stand of arms. The National Club sat
all the while, and the most serious questions were
debated there. At three p.m. tranquillity wu not
restored.
The Patria of Florence, of the 24th, announces the
arrival at Leghorn of 5,000 men, with artillery, form-
the Foreign Legion, under the command of Ungarelli
an officer who has served in Africa under the French
saloon.

mast that throe saws *ea* be ammo Sens tt to

bat be demanded to be allowed a few hones' refieedon
before accepting.
A letter from Bologna, of the 18th instant, states,
that one of the Swiss sentries had been fired at, and
wounded in the arm, and that General Zucchi had left
he France.
A letter from Rome, of the 19th inst., says, M.M.
Michele Pinto and Lcspolds Spini have gone to
Turin with a mission from the Rnman government, to
treat in to the Italian constituents. The Alba of
Florence, of the 21st inst., says: " We can affirm that
at this moment the Pops has no intention of quitting
Gaeta."
A commission has been named to inspect the
churches at Rome, with a view to their repair, in
order to find employment for many operatives and
artists.
Il Contemporaneo of the 17th says that Camera*
the Gonfalonier of Ancona, had arrived on that even-
ing at Rome.
PIEDMONT.—We learn from the Corriere Mer-
cantile of Genoa, of the 23rd, that Signor Rossellini
has arrived at Leghorn, charged with a mission to
Florence and Rome, for the purpose of concerting
measures for the convocation of the ItalianCoostituent

distinguished himself in the last campaign by the
defence of Vicenza, has taken service under the
Sicilian government. In a proclamation, dated the
10th, he recommends*, increase of the regular army,

GERMANY.

AUSTRIA.—News from Vienna is of Deo. 24.
After a lengthened debate, on the 21st inst. the
Bremsier Diet voted, by a small majority, the credit 1
of eighty millions of florins demanded by ministers;
thus negativing the proposition of the committee to I
vote only fifty millions. All the Polish member
opposed the grant. One of the speakers (Borkowski)
declared that the national debt of Austria, compared
with the revenue, was greater than that of any other
country, and that it almost amounted to half the value
of the monarchy. The national credit woe vacillating;
pa money had almost a forced circulation;
gold Weer bad disappeared; and it might
happen that, one fine morning, • national bank-
kruptcy would mane. Such an event we. not
yet unavoidable; bat it must bs guarded against. The
future tisanes minister would have to exclaim, "My
redeem/son ought to have acted economicaly, aa
avoided melees wars." He concluded by moving that
the government be empowered to raise a loan of half a
million of florins in the course of the year 1849, and
to stop the interest of the national debt' in oase the
receipts of the yews 1849, 1860, end 1851 were not
sufficient to cover the expenditure. Another Polish
speaker gave a melancholy account of the resent
condition of Oallicla, taking care to refer to the
atrocious conduct of government in exciting animo-
sity between the Polish and Ruthenian rates.
Amongst the Czech members (who were unanimously
in favour of the full grant), Joust distinguished him-
melt by his warm support of ministers. He pithily
observed, that if the house agreed to the pro-
position of the committee, and only voted
the sum of fifty millions of Rains, would
