is quite equal to that of the previous week. The manu-
facturers have asked a small advance for pieces, to meet
the higher prices demanded for the raw material, which
has had its due weight in limiting the number of pur-
chases. The wool market has been dull, with little doing.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The throwing depart-
ment of the silk trade is in rather a depressed state,
owing in a great measure to the excessive use of foreign
thrown silk. Some of the small throwsters have com-
menced working short time, others are stopping rooms,
and others frames, as they cannot get n•ork on com-
mission. A few are turning off hands, and offering a
reduction in the wages of those woo remain of from 8
to 10 per cent. The manufacturing department is the
handkerchief line is somewhat dull for the present ; but
the manufacturers are very sanguine in their expecta-
tions of a good autumn trade. The piece-trade is
brisker than for some time past ; but the power-loom
branch is not so brisk as it has been during the summer.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Considerable business
has been done in the Cloth Hall, and the warehouses
during the week have been fairly employed. 'l'he close
of the war between Germany and Denmark has caused
great satisfaction, much inconvenience having been ex-
perienced in the transmission of goods to and from Ger-
many. Every description of Wool continues to advance.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is still a good inquiry
for most descriptions of worsted goods, and especially
for lastings, which are scarce, and the manufacturers are
unwilling to take orders for them at th, present low rates.
The demand for yarns for export continues, and prices are
improving. The sales of wool are not so extensive, and
holders are asking a small advance.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Not much business doing to-day.
The stock of cloths exported for sale was very small;
the buyers could with difficulty meet with goods to suit
them. Prices are as last week, and there is a large
business doing in the warehouses

THE DANISH WAR.

A letter from Frankfurt, of the 14th, addressed to
the Cologne Gazette, says that the Vicar of the Em-
pire has protested against the conclusion of an armis•
Lice between Prussia and Denmark without the
participation of the Central Government. The States
of the Duchy of Brunswick have made a similar
protest ; and, according to the Altana Gazette, the
Governor, President, and Vice-Presidents of the
National Assembly of Schleswig-Holstein have also
adopted a protest, and resolved not to execute the
unnistice.

FRAN CE.

The Commission charged with deciding on the
proposition of M. Lestiboudois, which has for its ob-
ject the securing a retiring pension to workmen who
have passed their labour, has concluded its task. The
following are the most remarkable paragraphs of the
projeet of M. Lastiboudois
...rho retiring allowance ought to be pecuniary.
Nevertheless, it were well that the workmen who are so
isolated, or who only receive an allowance of a very small
amount, should be enabled to live in common, as more
economical and more agreeable. It would therefore be
advantageous to establish hotels capable of receiving men,
vr,.men, and children. The stoppage is to be made on
the produce of labour as well as on the wages of the
employed; and the supplementary sums indispensable to
the amount raised on wages ought to be furnished by
industry itself, which is bound riot only to maintain the
individual while it employs him, but also when he has
exhausted himself in its service."

The sum estimated by M. Lastiboudois for the
support of a man is 182 francs per annum; of a wo-
man, about two-thirds of that sum. The saving from
wages should, he thinks, begin at the age of eighteen,
and terminate at that of sixty, when the party is en-
titled to a pension. The Commission has recommended
that the project should be taken into consideration.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The complete, perfect, and original version of
Robert le Diable was produced here on Saturday
evening, with all the praiseworthy attention to
minute accuracy of detail, for which the re-
vivals at this theatre are so celebrated. Miss
Catherine Hayes was to have been the Alice
but she was taken suddenly ill, and Madame Dorus
Gras undertook the part at a short notice ; she also
was suffering from a cold, and therefore it would be
unfair to criticise too minutely her performance.
Salvi made a handsome, portly Robert—singing and
acting with immense energy and spirit. His perform-
ance of the gambling scene was marked with the true
recklessness and the jovial vivacity with which
he delivered the celebrated " L'or est un chimere"
was highly characteristic and effective, and
produced a strenuous encore. The burst of grief
at his ultimate ruin was rendered with delicacy and
pathos; and his subsequent desperation, expressed in
a solo graphically descriptive of careless audacity and
defiance, was an emphatic piece of dramatic impulse.
The commanding, stalwarth figure of Marini was
a good attribute to begin with as Bertram ; but, in
addition to this, he exhibited an inimitable " making-
up." The tall, black wig that surmounted his shoulders
like a buttress ; the singular eyebrows, and the dark
malignant scowl, gave him a terribly satanic cast ;
He sang the music admirably. Mademoiselle Cor-
barrs Isabella was a very creditable attempt, but she
has not sufficient power for the part. The chorus and
orchestral accompaniments were perfect, and the mise
en scene superb. The incidental ballets were very
effectively given.

This rrorsition had no result.
The Peuple gives the result of the votes in the

who are natives of the department of the Seine, and
who consequently vote for Paris. Out of these votes,
Boichot is at the head of the list ; but the numbers,

in the impression, are not given. The second on the

M. DUCHENE, the editor of M. PaounuoN's journal,
Le Peuple, was tried on Saturday before the Court
of Assize of the Seine for having published a series
of seditious libels on the sth, 6th, 11th, 18th, and
19th of March last. He was found guilty, and sen-
tenced to imprisonment for five years and to pay a fine
of 12,000 francs.
Letters from Toulon of the 9th instant, state that
all the ships in the port were completing their pre-
parations for sea, and that orders had been received
there to embark 5,000 additional troops for Civita
Vecchia. A portion ot the cavalry had been already
embarked.

The French Funds were in demand yesterday in
the Passage de I'Opera, although but few speculators
were in attendance, the elections occupying general
attention ; the last price was 90c. 75f.

BAVARIA.

A serious insurrection has broken out in Bavaria.
A letter from Munich of the 7th says—
" Neustadt ani Spire are in open insurrection.
Barricades have been erected. The Prussian troops
were unable to enter Spire. The Bavarian soldiers
have deposed their officers and have made common
cause with the people.
"The Minister of Finance, ASCHENRRENNER, and
the Minister of the Interior, VON FORSTER, have both
tendered their resignation.
"The city and fortress of Landau have been declared
in a state of siege, and all foreigners have been com-
pelled to quit the city."
Letters from Neustadt of the Bth say—" We have
been since yesterday evening in the midst of a
revolution. On news arriving that the Prussian
troops had crossed the frontier, the people flew to
arms, and at 10 P.M. 1,500 armed men awaited the
arrival of the Prussians at the railway station.
"Eight, A.M.— We have just received the news that
the Prussians, passing by Ludwighofen, had been
disturbed by the tocsin which was sounded around
them, and directed their march towards Spire, in-
stead of marching to Neustadt. At Spire, troubles
have broken out among the Bavarian troops; the
officers were obliged to fly, and the troops joined
the people.

"Two r.m.—A. proclamation, addressed to the inha-
bitants of Spire, signed by the burgomaster and the
director of the Government, announced that the Cen-
tral Power had ordered the Prussian troops to enter
Bavaria, and raised a cry of treason. Everywhere
the people cried out that the Prussians not recog-
nising the German constitution, their troops could
not be considered as friends.

" Three P.m.—The Prussian troops retired to Grins-
heim, two leagues hence, seeing that they could not
get an entrance into Spire. The Bavarian garrison
of Landau also refused to receive them, and it ap-
pears that they returned to Frankfort, which they
entered at nine, P.m."
Letters of the 9th from Rhenish Bavaria state
that the whole of that country, from Deux Ponts to
Landau, and from Durkheim to Neustadt, as well as
Frankenhamer Thal, is in the power of the people.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

FRANCE.

Napoleon Bonaparte presided on Friday night at a
meeting of the Bonapartist Central Committee in the
Rue Chabrel. There were at least 5,000 persons
present. The address of the President was received
with the utmost enthusiasm. Napoleon Bonaparte
commenced by reading his letter to the electors,
which has beon already given, in which he
gives the most ample explanations of his late
conduct. He apologized for taking upon himself so
serious a duty as that of presiding at so numerous a
meeting of the electors of Paris, seeing that he was
the youngest member of the National Assembly.
He denounced, in the fiercest manner, the men who
compose the Club of the Rue de Poictiers, whom
he denominated as renegades and cowards ; and
he declared that the name of any candidate pro-
posed by such people ought to become an object
of execration with the public. He rejected with in-
dignation the imputation cast on him of selfish
motives for his opposition to the Ministry. He ad-
mitted that he was ambitious, but it was the ambition
of serving his country which influenced his conduct.
He called on his hearers not to be such fools as to
imagine that the two Emperors who were at little
more than 4S hours' distance from the French frontier,
were occupying themselves with so small a Republic
as that of Rome. The subject of their meditations
and of their plans was the great Republic—the
Republic that France had established, and which
they were determined to destroy. He declared that
it was the duty of every French citizen to be prepared
to defend, at the cost of his life, the institutions he had
established. He denounced the absurd principles
promulgated by the Socialists, while he admitted that
society as it at present existed required an extensive
reform. He regretted that he had been obliged to sepa-
rate himself from those who were the nearest
and dearest to him ; but he considered that his duty
to his country was before every consideration, and
that duty he was determined to perform at all risks.
To the cries of " Vive la Republique," and " Vive
Napoleon," which repeatedly interrupted him, he
said, that as for " Vive Napoleon," it was of very
little consequence in comparison with the cry which
preceded it. His address lasted about two hours, and
was repeatedly cheered. The meeting was attended
by delegates from all the branch Bonapartist Com-
mittees in Paris.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

On Saturday evening Mademoiselle Alboni re-
appeared in the character of the Cenerentola, in which
she made her debut on the opening night of the season.
She was in exquisite voice, and sung with more than
usual brilliancy and effect. Never have the "Nacqui
all Affano," and the " Non piu mesta," been more
perfectly given, not even by Alboni herself than they
were on Saturday evening. Calzolari was the Don
Ramiro, and he more than fulfilled the expectations to
which his Eivino had given rise. The Italians
were right when they said that Calzolari was the
most perfect singer of Rossini's music on the stage.
we are inclined to go further, and say that Calzolari
is the most perfect Italian tenor on the stage, and we
are sure the day is not far distant when his rank as
such will be universally acknowledged. The opera
was very strongly cast, as indeed every opera has
been since the commencement of the present season.
We had I3elletti as Dundini, and Lablache as the
Magnifico, and never have we heard "Un segretto"
given with such unctions humour as it was given by
this pair of admirable drolls on Saturday evening.

The banlis of the Isis were on Saturday evening
crowded by the elite of the University and city, to witness
to commencement of the University eight-oar boat-

unusually large number, and consequently great interest
was excited by the friends of the respective crews as to
the result. On the signal being given the boats. started

commITTEE Room, No. 9 .

GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' BILL.—The pro-
moters of the Bill appeared to-day, by their solicitor,
Mr. David Wire, who announced, that in consequence
of the decision of the Standing Orders Committee, which
would compel them, from the c,)nstruction put on the
preamble, to erect their works within the city of Lon-
don, instead of a i.bort distance out of it,6 bounds, tlo'y
now withdrew tho Bill in its present form. It would,
however, be only to appear before them again next ses-
sion with an amended Bill. The opposition which they
had to encounter was not, he must otiserve, confined to
the two London compolles, which appeared before
theM (the City of London and the Chartered); but its
ramifications extended throughout all England, in proof
of which he read the following circular, which had been
issued by their opponents:—
" Guildhall, London, sth Match, 1849.

" Sir,—You are possibly aware that a Bill is now
pending in Parliament, promoted by The Great Cen-
tral Gas Consumer:: Company. The professed object of
such company is to supply cheap gas, and they have in-
serted in the Bill a clause limiting the maximum price
per 1,000 cubic feet to 4s. They have not at present
any works, and they seek to establish themselves in the
district at present l►ghted by two of the metropolitan
companies. As this attempt concerns not :only the me-
tropolitan companies, but also every other gas company,
I enclose you one of the pamphlets upon the subject
which seems to deal with the question in the fa►rrs.t
possible spirit, and whsrein are given data upon
►+hich to disprove the assertion made by the pro-
moters—that the present charge fcr gas is much
too high. As the principle, when once established, must
necessarily extend itself throughout the kingdom, I am
sure you will be anxious to give your support and as-
sistance in opposing the Bill, and therefore request that
you will be so good as to put your local Members in
possession of the real facts of the case, and either re-
quest their assistance, or permit me to communicate with
them under the sanction of your authority. The com-
mittee will meet on Tuesday, the 13th instant, and your
early attention will o►ilige.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

" TIMOTUY 'fYRRELL,

" To tl.e Secretary of the --Gas Company."
It was true that one consequence of the agitation of
this Bill had been a reduction to the price of gas in the
City from Os. per 1,000 cubic feet to ss. This, however,
did not satisty the consumers, who were determined to
persevere in their efforts to reduce the nuiximuin price
to 45., as propo•:ed in the Gas Consumers Bill.

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 14, 1849.

Lord BROUGHAM'S Bankrupt Law Consolidation
Bill will this evening be brought under the consi-
deration of the House of Lords. There can be but
little doubt that this Bill will become law during the
present session. It is a measure which has already
received the approbation of the leading mercantile
firms in the City best qualified to judge of its in-
trinsic merits, and also the sanction of the Lord
Chancellor. Last week, at a great public meeting
of the merchants and traders of the city of London,
a committee was instructed "to use its utmost ex-
ertions to urge upon her Maserry's Government
and upon the Legislature the early passing of Lord
BROUGHAM'S Bill," with the introduction of provi-
sions to restore arrest on mesne process, pro-
viding against its former abuse —to arrange
between debtors and creditors, when approved
by a large majority of the latter, and to distribute
the -property of deceased insolvent debtors. The
Lard Chancellor is understood to object to the power
being given to the Court of Bankruptcy to distribute
`the estates of deceased debtors, as originally proposed
by Lord BROUGHAM, and his
.objection extends also
to the proposed court of appeal. Notwithstanding
the solicitations of the merchants and traders of
the city of London, we do not conceive that Parlia-
ment either will, or ought to permit the restoration
of arrest on mesne process. It worked badly, gave
rise to much oppression, fostered the grossest frauds,
placed even perfectly solvent parties at the mercy of
perjurers, and was freely resorted to by persons with
doubtful or disputed claims, in 'order to obtain
full or commuted payment on false pretences. It is"
to be hoped, then, that arrest on mesne process may
not be ratored under any circumstances whatsoever.
The consolidation of the numerous statutes relating
to bankruptcy has been loudly called for by the
actual necessity of the case. Lord BROUGHAM'S
great measure for reforming the administration of
bankruptcy has .now had a fair and a long trial.
From time to time it has been " amended " (as the
phrase is) by so many additions and alterations, that
a clear, simple, and well-defined law has now become
a matter of imperative necessity. When the public
are informed that no less than fifty millions of
pounds sterling are annually lost to creditors
in this country by insolvencies and bankrupt-
cies, the importance of a judicious and well-

FRANKFURT.
The National Assembly of Frankfort was to have
discussed on the 9th a resolution, declaring that the
Assembly would efficaciously support the rising of
the people in Saxony and the palatinate of Bavaria;
but M. DE GAGERN, President of the Council, de •
manded a postponement to the next day, on the
ground that the Cabinet had submitted to the Vicar
of the Empire a programme of the measures it consi-
dered necessary, and that the Vicar had demanded
twenty-four hours to reflect. The adjournment was
opposed by several Deputies, but on a division was
agreed to by 221 votes to 133. M. SCHLCEFLEL de-
manded that a proposition, declaring the Ministry
traitor to the country, and decreeing its instant dis-
missal, should be taken into immediate consideration,
as of urgent importance, but this was negatived.
In the sitting of May 10, the Ministry announced
that the Vicar-General of the Empire, not being dis-
posed to agree to the programme which had been
presented to him, pointing out the course he ought
to pursue relative to the Constitution, he had declined
to adopt it, and desired to resign. A new Ministry
was to be formed. A discussion ensued on the spot,
on a proposition of M. REDEN, thus conceived :
" All practicable means are to be adopted to resist the
measures by which Prussia has endeavoured to stifle
the public voice, interfering with Saxony without
any right to do so." This proposition was adopted.
The Assembly then sent a deputation to communicate
the resolution orthe Assembly to the Vicar-General,
wishing to know if he would execute it. The Arch-
duke JOHN replied, that he could give no opinion till a
new Ministry was for.ned. This reply was sent to
the Committee of Thirty, who are ordered to make a
report thereon.

" DRESDEN, MAY 9.—The whole Altstadt fell this

morning into the hands of the troops, which, having
driven the rebels from' street to street, and house to
house, into the Post-office (a large building with square
courts), the neighbouring Kreuzkirche (Church of the
Holy Cross), and into a portion of the Altmarkt, made
preparations for storming the first. At dawn, this
measure was carried into effect, after one entrance had
been battered down with 12 pounders, and the whole of
the rebel defenders shot or bayoneted. This being
effected the church soon surrendered. and before eight
o'clock the combined troops were in full possession of
every other portion of the old town, where they were
received by the unfortunate inhabitants as friends and
deliverers."
