bassador Las riceived his passports, and was to leave
It-me on the 7th.

LATEST FROM PARIS.
PARIS, WEDNISDAY, GI P.M.
Things begin to resume the aspect of civil order.
In the early part of the forenoon the usual masa of
troop. was collected ruund the Chamber, but, about
noun an order arrived that they should march to their
quarters, and the only external mark of precaution
visible during the day has been tha, the garden and
courts have been occupied by a regiment of the Hue
land some detachments of the Guard Mobile.

Hemet n 3 and 4 u'elork. I made a tour of the prin-
cipal parts of tho town, and found but Hall: traces of
military precaution a:c• Int at the Ilotel do Ville, the
square tLL iron: m *Melt wni
u• Guard Mobile and National Guard. . _

A daaehment of the National Guard also occupied
- ••

the prefecture of police.
Nevertf.eless, (luting the day, regiments of the line
hare continued to arrive by the lines of railway, and

Ow National Guards from the departments, awoug
which that of Amiens niay be mentioned.
A decree of the Executive Commission appears in
the .itasiteur et to-day, organising • sort of municipal
guard, to consist of 2,000 infantry and 600 cavalry, for
the special service of the police of Paris, and to he
culled the Parisian Republican Guard. This will
evidently be a reproduction, under another name, and
with a different uniform, of the late Municipal
Guard, which was disbanded alter the revolution of
February, and it will doubtless be composed, to a
great extent, of the same individuals, us well as of
those of the irregular a fell troops culled the Garde
Itepublicatue, the Monts name, the Lyonnaise, and
others, which are disbanded by another decree of

to day.
'the explanations given of his conduct by the pre-
fect of police before the Chamber yesterday produced
a decidedly favourable effect for him. There was
an appearance of sturdy and unpolished honesty in
his manner, which had a strong tendency to coun-
teract the adverse impression respecting him which
previously prevailed. M. Caussidiere, however, has
given his resignation not only us prefect of police, but
also as a inn imitative in the Assembly.
In the coarse of the proceedings to-day this sub-
ject was brought forward on the occasion of the
president reading the letter in which M. Cawssidiere
had sent his resignation.
M. Sarrut defended M. Caussidiere. " The Assem-
bly," said he, "before accepting this re signation, should
examine the r:fal motives of it, which in my opinion
were nothin" more than a just sentiment of suscepti-
bility which is befitting a member of this Assembly
who has been called on for his justification." After
some vain attempts to continue this defence, the re-
signation of M. Caussidicre was aces' tie 1.
Every day de vehipes more and more conspicuously
the strength' of the moderate party in the Chamb r,
in which must of course be ineuded the 150 membara
of the left centre of the ex•cliamber ; indee:f, it
is apparent that the government must cre
long hill into the hands of the leaders of this
party. The present executive, with their ca-
binet of cl eke, has no virility ; in fact, the cabinet
is a subject of common ridicule. M. Thiers will be
returned fur one of the departments to be vacated by
the multiple elections, and then the left centre of the
old Chamber must assume the reins of government.
The opinion begins to be not altogether rejected that the
issueof the present "imbroglio" will be a constitutional
system, like that of England, under a regency, with
M. Thiers for the first prime minister.
The parliamentary inexperience of the Assembly is
every day ludicrously manifested. To-day we had
a string of propositions, produced one after another,
' wtthout connection or imaginable motive, such as,
"'that the Assembly should etfer a testimony of
public satisfaction to the National Guard and the
army," the proposer forgetting that it had been
already done.
Another member started up and moved " That the
Assembly hold a grand review of the National Guard
and the army." This was hardly seconded before
another citizen jumped up and proposed, "That the
Assembly should walk in triumphant procession to
the Bastille on Sunday next."
Seeing the absurdity of these convulsive starts of
parliamentary puerility, M. Vivien, an ex-deputy, Kos
and proposed that the Assembly should adopt a
standing order to put a stop to the deluge of propo-
sitions with which the Chamber was inundated; the
authors of which (he said) did not take the trouble
of considering before offering them to the Chamber.
The question of the validity of the elections for
Corsica being brought forward, it was decided, that
the proscrintion existing against the Bonaparte
family, should not prevent MM. Pierre and Napoleon
Bonaparte from taking their seats.
M. Louis Blanc being also returned for Corsica, his
election was annulled, in consequence of an irregu-
larity in the admission of foreigners into the hall of
election. M. Louie Blanc mounted the tribune, and
made some observations, which were listened to with
the must chilling coldness.
It was observed on this occasion that the ushers
who usually supplied him with a soul to make up
for his deficiency of height omitted this little mark of
civil ty.
When our reporter left, the Assembly was pro-
ceeding to appoint the committee for preparing the
project of the constitution.
A rumour was circulated in the Chambers in the
course of the day, which created considerable alarm,
and caused the " rapper to be beaten in some parts
oh' Paris. It was to the effect, that the entrance of
some National Guards from the departments
had been obstructed by the operatives at one of the
barriers. Another rumour, was that the Northern
railway station bad been burned. Another, that a
formidable maniftstation had been made ag dust
the Executive Government at the Luxemburg.
It does not appear that there sus any ground tar
these reports.
At the Bourse to-day, a further improvement was
manifested ; the Threes closing at 481, and the Fives
at 71.
An eye witness reports tl.at after the invasion of
the Chamber, General Courtais went into the square
of the chamber where his epaulettes were torn off by
some National Guards of the 10th legion, incensed with
his conduct or incapre:i!y. General Courtais then
Neat into thus hall of the Assembly, whet": he was
again subjected to fresh indignities. Ater he had
quitted the hall, he was taken into the garden, by
M. Leroy d'Etiolles, who was told that. if
he took him into the streets, he would in-
fallibly be torn to pieces. M. Leroy d'Etiolles
remained with him two hours. Ile was much aft eted,
and expressed his regret that he had not sent in his
resignation, as he had intended to have done.
M. Cremicux, the Minister of Justice, has in-
terrogated General Courtais, who altogether
denies any participation in the recent con-
spiracy. Ihe general is in a most depressed
state. lie ref uses all nouriohme nt,anfl m vents without
ceasing that hu would prefer death to dishonour.
When the men of the house in the Rue Itivoi inha-
bited by Sabt ler were arrested, ono of the en, the secre-
tary of Sobrier, swallowed some paps rs, which a Na-
tional Guard in vain endeavoured to save. Another, on
his way to prison, is said to have blown out his brains.
At the hour of writing, M. Caus,idiero Lilt occu-
pied the hotel of the prefecture of police.

LOMBARDY.—A demand (says the Bulletin of
the Provisional Government of Lombardy; of the
12th) has been vr ry numerously sigurtl, to obtain
immediately, front all the provinces of Lom-
bardy, an expression of their sentiments
as to the annexation of Lomlrirdy and other states of
Italy to Piedmont. If this proposition trove accept-
able, the Provisional Government will invite Ve-
nice to take the same step. This is founded on
the consideration that the intrigues el Metter-
nich, Uuizot, and Louis Philippe in London. the
hostile attitude cf Russia, the friendly dispcsitinn of :
Germany, the avowed neutrality of Switzerland, and
other diplomitic complications easy to foreseen,
me of a nature to give rise to the tear of an European
war, and render more impel i sus the necessity of in-
creasing our forces by union.
If this were done, we could soon have in the field
200,000 luau, all It:diens.

out meeting wan held this illy, at the Ellice, Old Broad.
street, Sir John Young in the chair. The report stated that
the ri e• in the month of March, 1847, was 126,1961. 12r. LI.,
from which was to be deducted the bonus of four p.r cent.
then paid, namely, 21,6001., leaving the balance
104,5961 12s. Id.; and from that sum was to be
deducted two half yearly dividends, 43,2001., leaving the net
rest 61,5461. 12s. Id. Profits to be added hir the
year ending March, 1848, after making all dedue•
eons, 46,1081. 18s. 10d. ; which mid, the rest for this
year 107,4051. 10s. lid. ; and, after having p,OVileal for all
leases, the usual 4 per cent. and property tax would he paid
out of the profits. Sir Filbert Campbell, Arum. Farrar,
Mogan, and Montiffinne, the out-going directors, were
reelected, and the report adopted.
ROYAL ORTIIOPRDIC HOSPITAL—The anniversary
festival of this institution took place lost evening at the
London Tavern. Lord Abinger presided. In introducing
the toast of the evening, ho referred to the report fur th
present year, from which it appeared that the operati, ns of
the charity had been nisteri..lly extended, and that it was
prooming in usefulness and importance; that the number
of in-patients in the wards on the 24th of February, 1847,
was 30; the number admitted uo to the cerreapauding por-
tion of 1848 was 71, of whom 53 had been uncharged
cured ; 16 had been relieved ; and 33 remained in the hoe. I
pital. The total number of in and outpatients admitted
during the year was 1,385; and the number admitted since
toe opening of the charity, 6,682. Suva ral toasts were
dis-
posed of. The subscriptions during the evening amounted
to nearly 7001.
THE AMERICAN STEAMER the United States, Capt.

IMPORTATION OF I ioßsEs.—The arrivals of horses
from Belaium, which have been numerous and regul tr of
late, continue to take place. The steam•ship Princess Vie.
toria, from Antwerp, has just brought tin 14,1r0C4, consigned
to a celebrated English d aler, from which it would appear
that these arrivals are not the private pniperty of persona re-
turning home from the Continent, but regular consignment*
in the way of merchandise from that c,ntinental state.
CASE OF POISONING AT HAVERMILL—On the Bth
instant the first examination of Hannah Bowyer took place,
which was resumed on Monday last, on the charge of poison-
I ing her illegitimate thild. Various witness s were ex.
amincd, whose evidence tended to prove that the child had
been poisoned by the prisoner by the administration of a de-
coction of hemlock. The prisoner made a voluntary state-
ment to the effect that on Monday. May Ist, she asked
Glasscock, a nun with whom she lived, if he knew where
there was any hemlcck, u the want d tome to wash her
..hilit's feet u sth ; that he told her the re was some grew in
the Camping Close; that she went and got a piece, but
Glasscock told her it was sheep's parsley, and that herr& ck
tad a round oak and dark leaf; that she threw what she
had into the river, and did riot get any more ; that Glass-
rock told her " half a teacup-full would settle the child."
three surgeons gave evidence as to the post-mortem exemi-
nati•m bir, with 'sit expressing a decided opinion that the
cchild had died from the effects of poison. The prisoner sista
summitted fur trial at the ensuing &taxes for the county.

HOPS.—BASINGSTOKE, May 17.—The plantations
are beginning to assume a favourable appearance. The bine
has started with. wonderful rapidity, and he►lth and strength
are virible in the shoots and leaves. Poling, tying, and
cleaning will destroy in some measure any further approaches
of the flea which is said to intect the bine. From Famham
and Altun the reports are most ,avourable.
ATDSTONE. —Another week of fine hot weather bas im-
proved the Hops wonderfully. The seconding is nearly got
through with. If we may judge from the aphis on the roes
bushes we may expect a severe attack en the Hops. We
should add nearly 30,0001. to the duty for improvement this
week, and call it worth 100,0001.
MEREWORTH, WATERINCECKY, AND Vletterrx.—The
poling is now finished, and tyeing is going on. The bine
looks wel, and is growing fast, but it is not so strong as last
year. In some grounds the flea has been t'estructive, but
the plant Is recovering this attack. Some fly has been seen
at places.
Ornate, LEEDS, LINDLEY, AND VICINITY,—The Hnp.
poiing is now come to a close. From the late warm weather
the bins are growing fast, notwithstanding the unfavourable
state of the gardens. We have quite one-third of the around.
uncultivated, from the laud being so hard and dry. It is
impossible to dig them; consequently there is but a bad
prolsect for large crops.
l'atnlxo.—The bine is minim: away well for the season,
and getting round the poles fast this hot weather.

ther for Aqucht. rine, the Beef trade underwent a alight
