PARIS, FRIDAY, 11 A.Y.
On the subject of the sale of the stock which the
Emperor of Russia possesses in the English funds,
the Opinion Publique contains the following. It is
u well to premise that we were the first in the
London press to announce these soles :
" Two days ago," says the Opinion, "we men-
tioned the sale of stock which the Emperor of Russia
had taken in the English and French funds. Several
people disbelieved the intelligence. To these we
would submit the following calculations : By
an imperial ukase the Russian governmeut
is selling in London 4.1 per cent. stock at
93fr., which is equivalent, if anticipated payments
of interest are taken into account, to selling 5 per
cent. stock at 100 fr. On the other hand the tame
government has a capital in the English funds of 50
minims of francs at 3 per cent. Hence it follows
that the Emperor of Russia borrows at 5 per cent, to
sell st 3. However low we may take to be the in-
toned of H. Wrontchenko, Russian minister of
finance, one cannot suppose him ignorant of the first
rules of financial arithmetic. To borrow at 5 when he
has lent at 3 is not allowable, especially when such
wets are in the business as MM. Steiglitz and
Rarieg, the rivals of M. Rothschild. To this cslcuhr
dna we way add this consideration : The Emperor of
Nasals bee a capital in the French funds of 50 nil- I
liege, ea which, at the present rate, he loess about 221
pee oat On the other hand, he gains 26 per omit.
es
the 50 millions in the English funds. By liqui-
dating both in Paris ud in London, the Emperor
*llll makes up his whole original capital without
nub loss. In the present time, when money is
wanted, and when the French republic is the
creditor, it may be considered lucky to be
enabled to make such a bargain. By simple financial
induction, therefore, we arrive at the feats which we
have announced from positive information. The
liquidation of the French funds of the Emperor of
Ruda will probably last three months. It is a

HESSE-DARMSTADT.

In the Second Chamber, on the 21st, M. Muller-
Melchior brought up the report of the finance com-
mittee on the resolutions moved by the minister on
the first day of the anion, prolonging the grant of
taxes to the end of 1850. The report refused the
financial measures of the government, denounces a
number of abuses, and defends the right of the
Chambers respecting supplies, a right which the go-
vernment had attempted to under-estimate.
The committee advise the Chamber to decline the
government proposition, and not to renew the per-
mission to collect more taxes in the pant relations
of the parliament and ministry. It adds to this
recommendation a protest against the attempted
depreciation of the prerogatives attributed to the
Chamber in See. 67 and 68 of the Constitutional Act.
The *mad part of the report concerns hi. Lehne's
amendment, which was referred to the committee by
the Chamber. This amendment proposed to specify
those acts of the ministry which had alienated the
confidence of the Chambers, and enumerated among
these the scansion of the government of the Prussian
league of May 26, 1849, the promulgation of the
Erfurt laws, &e. The committee reammend the
Chamber to declare that certain provisions of the
constitution have been violated by the sea of the
government, and to present a solemn protest against
those acts, is the name of the nation.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES,

A private letter, of the 18th, gives the following
particulars of an segagement of gun-boats, which took
plaoe on the morning off the 17th, of the Island of
Fohr :
" We left the island of Fohr after six Danish gun-
boats and a steamer had arrived there sad landed 500
infantry. It was about five o'clock; and, as a dead
calm was prevailing, we were compelled to get the
commander of the steamer ICiel to take as in tow.
" We had not proceeded hr when we bed the
Danish boats and the steamer elnadyo making to-
wards as. We made for the other side of the shal-
lows, and they were compelled to desist from the
pursuit. When we had got about a mile from the
shore we saw a second Danish steamer, the Geyser,
panting as. We prepared far action, and wink;
about half an hoer the Goner was within range of
ear guns. The fight began about eleven o'clock.
Our gun-boat No. 4 greeted the steamer with
a bomb. The answer wee • broadside, not

behind the guns without bunting. The fight was

WEST INDIES.-JAMAICA.

We have received eid New York, data from this
colony to the 18th alt.
The English mails of 17th November by the
Severn, arnved at Kingston on the 16th of December;
the Medway left on the 18th for the Spanish Main.
Several Jamaica gentlemen had emigrated to Cali-
fornia. A Kingston correspondent of a New York
paper, says:
The House of Assembly is still in session. They passed •
bill, for one year, giving the governor, Sir Charles Grey, a
salary of 4,5001., and, in the meantime, a memorial goes to
England to the Queen, praying her to take this heavy ex-
pense—equal to 6,0001. sterling (with foss)—from this dis-
tressed country ; and as some of the windward island gover-
nors, bishops, and commanders of forces, are paid from Eng-
land, they request the same may be done to our governor.
The bill expired Du. 31, 1849, and a men ion was made
not to pass any more—but it was carried for one year—and
to petition stated above. Another bill is also brought in to
raise • revenue by an additional duty on imports. This is
to pay the interest on the Wand debt. I am sure the island
is not in • position to bear one farthing more taxation. It
is hoped that the bill won't pa's. A petition is getting up
against it, to be seat to the Council should it pass the house.
Another bill in the house is to be met with opposition it is
a bill for education. This bill is much wanted; but the way
it has been got up will not give: satisfaction. The du-
sinters are excludsd from taking any part in it, and they
are all up in arms against it. It gives the whole control to the
Couch of England. It won't pus this way, tor it is to
be altered so as to meet the wishes of all classes, as it
ought to be. A teix of lid. per acre cn land, is the
way the amount is to be raised. This wi.l give about
25,0d01. sterling per annum. The hon. member who brought
in the bill was, once • dissenter, but now a high ithurehman ;
but I fear 1 • has lost his popularity by this act of his. Tee
name of this member is Itobert Oeboro, a gentleman of
colour. It is supposed that the bile was given to him by •
few of the church et England officials, and he appears not
to have read it before he brought it in. But the efficials wid
dissppointed. It won't pass their way and fashion. The
dissenters in the island are too SWUM for them. The island
is rather healthy. The weather is rather warm during the
day, but very pleasant at morniag and his ht. The water
company is getting on well—we are to have a fountain
placed in the equare in this city, and the place is,owa as the

of these who supply it, and who ought to form its

French colony, and yet superseding Buenos Ayres as
a mart fur the annual produce of the Pampas, is absurd.
The capital of those plains, the mistress, the stronghcld,
the seat of the government, is Buenos Ayres. And the
, more European interests predominate at Montevideo,
• the more it is supported by French Bees, garrisoned
by French legions, and its hills hoed by French

The important county of Down his been invited to
hold a meeting this day in the county town of l town-
patrick. to protest against free trade. Some of the
northern pspers seem to be surprised at the audacity
of the step; as the opin'ons of the population are
well known to be more strongly wedded to com-
mercial freedom in that county than in any other part
of 'retard ; but they also otnervethat the audacity is
accompanied by a degree of cunning that may bring
it through the diffimliy. Thus, between the apps st-
ance of the requisition on Saturday, and the meeting
on Wednesday, there were but two whole days for
any preparation on the part of the free traders; and
the m. eting was appointed to take place in the
County Court, where some two or three dozen per-
cons, judiciously introduced, might easily command
the proceedings. There is a remarkable absence of
the leading landed proprietors of the county from
the requisation.
Clare is expected to respond to the call of the Pro-
tectionists on Friday next.
Lest evening there was a meeting of the score or
two styling themselves the " Protestant Association "
held at the Rotunda for the purpose of " adoptiog
resolutions expressive of the Protestant feeling of
Dublin on the vastly important question of protec-
tion to trade and agriculture." Their leader, the
Rev. Treshans Gregg, was the Magnus Apollo on the
occasion.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

A five-act comedy, entitled " Fashion, or Life in
New York," by Mrs. Mowatt, the actress, wee per-
formed at this theatre last evening, for the first time
in this country. It was produced at New York four
or five years .e", and has had great emcees. in all
parts of the United States ; add the English public,
by its reception last night, have confirmed the judg-
ment pronounced on it in its own country. It cer-
tainly deserves its mom, for it is en exceedingly
clever work, conveying • lively but good-humoured
satire on some foibles in American society which are
exaggerations of earresponding follies in "the nld
country "—aristocratic predilections, and en absurd
love of foreign fashion., foreign manners, and foreign
titles.
This story is confused and ill-constructed, but this
fault is redeemed by great excellencies. The dia-
logue is quite colloquial; very animated, and full of
terse and happy expresaions. The serious portion
contains lose striking situations, and the scene in
which the old man tells the story of his unfortunate
daughter, and acknowledges Gertrude as his grand-
child, is extremely pathetic. The cearacters are well
grouped, but, taken singly, have very little novelty.
The parvenu merchant, his wound-be fashionable wife
and daughter, the pretended count and the villainous
clerk, and the French soubrette, are mere common-
places of the stage. But Miss Prudence is en original
and a very racy one; and Mrs. Parker, who acted
this character, must surely be an American as well as
the author, for • Britisher never could have assumed
such en admirable drawl, sr used a rocking-chair
with an expression that convulsed the house with
laughter. The parte, generally, were well acted.
The rough, bat high-hearted, old farmer was admi-
rably represented by Mr. Davenport. Mr. A. Wigan
was excellent as the pretended Count : and ,Mr.
Scharf's personation of the clerk, Snoluson, was re-
markably clever. Mrs. H. Marston wss very enter-
taining as Mrs. Tiffany, and Miss Fanny Vining gave
much interest to the character of Gertrude. Nothing
could be better than the manner in which the piece was
put upon the stage. The ball-room scene, with the
supper room seen beyond it, and a numerous com-
pany dancing and promenading, was one of the most
elegant things we have ever seen in a theatre.
The house was crowded. The play was received
with the warmest applause daring the performance
as well u its close. Tne author, in compliance with
loud calls from every part of the house, appeared
before the curtain, and was received with acclamations
and • shower of bouquets.

OPENING OF THE GERMAN PARLIANIENt

The Cologne Gazette contains the following tele-
graphic despatch :
ERFURT, MARCH 20.
The German parliament was opened this forenoon,
in the Government House. At half-put twelve
the member of the Verwallunsts-rath took their
seats in the Assembly. Herr von Rsdowitz
opened the proceedings by a speech, in which be
gave them an historical account of the events which
preceded and led to the German parliament. He
dwelt oa the duty wn ch the united governments
had of granting a constitution. The presumption
that all the governments would accede to the
League had turned out to be unfounded. Hol-
stein and Lauenburg were prevented by the
Danish war. Hanover and Saxony differed in
their views trim the united governments. The
former had declared its intention to secede from
the League. An impeachment had been brought for-
ward against Hanover es well as Saxony. The
united governments must not allow themselves to be
domed by obitache. He then adverted to the bills
which the government intended to submit to the
parliament--such as the charter of the constitution
and the memorial, the electionary law, and the addi-
tional act. Baron R idowitz exhorted the bowel to sub-
ject thesebills to a strict and patient examination, and
to advance the alterations on which they might agree
to the notice of the administrative council. He fur-
ther asked for powers for the presidency (Voratand)
of the empire to eater into negotiations on the su►ject
of the immunities which had been granted to the
Haase towns. After informing the parliament of the
appointment of the other commissioners, Baron
liadowitz concluded by declaring, in the name of the
united governments, that the parliament was opened,
i whereupon the members withdrew to constitute their
homes.

IRELAND.

Driatur, Mum 21.
Two important tenant-right meetings were held on
St. Patrick's Day, one at Dona/till, in the county of
Tipperary, and the other at Castlumen', in the
county of Kilkenny. At both meetings vast and im
posing astemblages of the people are described u
haring been present, and the language used by the
speakers, the majority of whom were Roman catholic
clergymen, was well calculated to concentrate the
strongest "popular feelings upon the object for which
they had met, namely, an immediate and equitable
adjustment of the relations of landlord and tenant in
Ireland. The platform at the Donabill meeting was
a level space, in the centre of an ancient rath, the
sides of the mound and some surrounding bills being
occupied by the people. The Casileoomer misting
was also held in the open air, reuse 20,000 mew,
according to the Kilkenny 10101144 being present on
the occasion. The priests in the south are rivalling
the presbytetius ministers of the north, and seem in-
deed to have entered into the present agitation with
even supra earnest's( as than ever they did into that
for a repeal of the union.
The Freeman's Journal states that the letter-prem
printers of Dublin are exerting themselves most lau-
dably to bring public opinion to bear upon ' the opt
pussies nature of the fiscal exacioas which at present
impede the free circulation of general informaticn
among the people, and that they desire to act in co-
operatic!' with the reformers in England in agitating
the repeal of the duty on paper, newspaper stamps,
and adrertisements.

Aiwa • few observations from the CHAMIM AN,
The BAT. Dr. CHOLY moved the first resolution declaring
the Pope's recent act an invasion of the royal prerogative,
intended to destroy the protestant constitution and faith of
the country, and ultimately civil end religious liberty.
What they bad to do, said the d gentlemaa,
was not to talk but to set. (Hear, hear.) With this
view they should first aseertain the strength of their I
own party in the legislature and the cabinet. They
had already on their rode, publicly, and beyond the
possibility of retractetion, the head of the ewe, I
the head of the cabinet, and the held of the church; aced,'
en .re powerful still, the nation at large. (" Hear, heat'
and cheers.) It had hien doubted whether her Megeety had
used the celebrated words so Ingo. qtly attributed to her,
and which had stetted so muck delight throegbont the
onantry. He bad rot the least doubt that her Majesty had
need either those words or others equivalent to them.
(Cheers.) He would tell them why he had onto to that
conclusion. Her Majesty was a woman capable of the highest
feelite, and the nobles: determination; she was by birth
en Englishwoman; she was deacezdet nom a (tinily
which had been introduced into this land for the
*zeros purpose aid preserving its liberties, and which
had at all times, end under ell circumstences, been
faithful to protestanties ; and all this rendered it probable
that the language in question bad been really uttered.
(Cheers) As to the government, the letter of Lord Jots
Unwell was us be regarded ass common declaration of their
faith; and that letter, combined with the language nerd et
the Hessian House by other members of the ministry, had,
es it were, branded on the ((unlaced of the cabinet, in thirst•
ten that could never be effaced, a pledge to resist the insi-
dious aggressions of tho court of Rinse. (Churl.) Let
the people ocetirues their eSorts of opposition to the papal
—.ion, and the rJenit would, he trusted, be what they
