If results of such magnitude and importance could
be effected, affording such well-founded expecta-
tions of a total abolition of the vexatious delays
that have so long prevailed, there is no
reasonable expenditure that should not be
encountered. But it appears that it would not in any
degree increase the staff of officers, or lead to en-
larged expenses. Why, then, should any un-
necessary delay take place before an expedient
so simple and likely to prove so efficacious
be brought into operation.
The Bth resolution states—" That if any of
the present Judges of the Court of Chancery
were willing to undertake the whole conduct and
disposal of a cause on this principle, a fair trial
might be given to the plan, without further super-
seding the present machinery of the Court of
Chancery."
We cannot doubt that any of the eminent lawyers
who now occupy the equity judicial bench would
gladly undertake any additional labour that might be
necessary to give the suggestion a fair trial. Indeed,
Lord LANGDALE has already stated that so far as he is
concerned " he has been, and is, perfectly ready to
try the experiment." We trust that no time may be
lost in carrying the proposition into full execution.

" We are in the month of February," says the
Journal des Debats. "Let us recollect the events of

last year !" The injunction is, at the present mo •
ment, most appropriate. At the present moment,
when the Republic is assailed by foes from within and
from without—when friends are looking fearfully and
opponents pointing scoffingly at the divisions within
the camp, it is well that the remembrance of February,
1848, should be called up. It is well that a reminis-
cence of the fate of Louis PuiLirrE should annihilate

the incipient hopes of the reactionary party. It is
well that a thought of the prohibited Reform Banquet
and its consequences, should recur to the minds of
those who talk of a two years' suspension of the
liberty of the press—a project which has assuredly
emanated from Charenton. Again, it is well that a
remembrance of the immaculate glories of the Young
Republic should shame those dastard hearts which are
still prepared " to defile the cause of truth with blood."
Above all, it is well that the friends and foes of the
Republic should at once be encouraged and dismayed
by the recollection of LAMARTINE'S emphatic declara-
tion (in February last), that the people's victory was
so well assured that " no tyranny but their own could
wrest it from them." Nevertheless, although thus
conditionally assured in February, 1848, it was I ardly
possible—for Utopia is still a fable, although El
Tiered() may exist—that a Republic could be conso-
lidated and a liberal constitution organized at once. We
have just learned, from good authority, that there are
seventeen processes to be gone through in one House
of Legislature alone before an Act of Parliament can
be bona fide. "Rome was not built in a day,"
saith the adage, and the French Republic
must be perfected by time and trial, and, perchance,
by tribulation. It is easy for the " carpet-knight" to
boast of his valour in the drawing-room, it is safe to be
loyal when the sovereign is paramount, or republi-
can in the first flush of victory. The storm alone
proves the mettle of the seamen, and it is left for the
February of 1849 to test the truth of those fair pro-
fessions so profusely lavished in February 1848. The
virtue most necessary now to the Republicans of
France is fortitude. By displaying that virtue they
have now an opportunity of stabilitating their
national liberties and redeeming the character of
their country. Since JULIUS CJESAR so described
them in his commentaries the fickleness of the
Gauls has been proverbial. To them has been ap-
propriated the Latin poet's definition of women—
varium et mutabile seraper. These assertions, as
modern no less than ancient history testifies, have
not been wholly unfounded. Now, however, an op-
portunity is vouchsafed to the French people of testi-
fying that, notwithstanding their volatile characteris-
tics, they are not wholly deficient in patient perse-
verance. In the present combination of adverse
circumstances a steady and pertinacious resolution is
required of all Republicans. They must listen
with stolid indifference to the illusive
souvenirs of imperial glory they must turn
with contemptuous disdain frem the bright gold and
brighter promises of Qrleanist and reactionnaire—
they must put back with shuddering horror the
blood-stained flag again proffered to their grasp.
Union is strength, and if the true Republicans will
cordially co-operate and calmly persevere, they may

tions of kind friends across the water. Should the
people of France be true to themselves, and to that
liberal cause with which it is their ambition to iden-
tify their name, it is a matter of comparative indif-
ference whether the present Ministry maintain their
portfolios or transfer them to other hands, or whether
the present Assembly continue to legislate or make
way for their successors.

We understand that the command of the forces in
India is to bu offered to Sir George Napier, who is now at
Nice.

The Right Hon. Sir H. L. Bulwer, K.C.8., who
lately represented her Majesty in Spain, has been appointed
to succeed Sir It. Pakenham as British Minister in the United
States. Sir IL I'akenhani, who has long. been a diplomatic
servant of the Crown, wilt retire upon a well-earned pension.
It is understood that the differences with Spain which have
led to a suspension of diplomatic relations are in process of
amicable adjustment.

Before the debate the election of Vice-Presidents and
Secretaries for the ensuing month took place. The

month. The following are the votes given for the twe
Secretaries

Number of voters ... 671
Absolute majority ... 336

The Assembly during its sitting yesterday com-
menced the debate on the question of dissolution,
the discussion having arisen on the following amend-
ment, proposed by M. LANJUINAIS, to the motion of
M. RATEAU :
" Art. 1. A first deliberation on the electoral law
shall be immediately entered upon. The second and
third deliberations shall take place at the expiration of
the delays fixed by the rules of the House.
" Art. 2. Immediately after the vote on this law, the
elect ,ral lists shall be formed. The elections for the
Legislative Assembly shall take place on the first Sun-
day following the definitive adoption of these lists. The
Legislative Assembly shall meet the tenth day following
that of the elections.

" Art. 3. The order of the day of Assembly shall be
so fixed, that independently of the electoral law, the law
on the Council of State, and the law on the responsibi-
lity of the President of the Republic and the Ministers,
shall be voted before the dissolution.

" Art. 4. The decree of the 11th Dec., 1848, is an-
nulled, so far as is contrary to the present law."
MM. RATEAU, PAGNERRE, and WoLowsza have
withdrawn their respective propositions in favour of
the proposition of M. LANJUINAIS. The debate had
not concluded when the post left.
BOURSE.—PARIS, TUESDAY, FEB. 6.
THREE O'CLOCK.—The division of yesterday in favour
of the Ministry had a good effect on our Bourse to•day.
The French Funds and Railway Shares all partook in
the benefit. The Five per Cents. are nearly 1-4- per cent.
higher than the closing prices of yesterday, and they
closed at the highest prices of the day. It is thought
that the Bateau motion will be rejected, but that a com-
promise will be made, which will enable the Ministry,
to dissolve the Assembly in the course of April. Ex-
change on London (30 days), 25 321 to 35; ditto (90
days), 25 22i to 25.

it had been abandoned, on the 26th, by thet insurgents,t'
who, with 4,000 men and ten guns, had taken thedirec-
tion of Essegg, probably hoping to collect their power
under cover of this fortress, still in their hands. Their
plan will fail, the fort being surrounded by a brigade of
border troops, and General Nugent in their rear. The
appearance of the Imperial army in the Baranny and Tolna
Comitat was sufficient to scatter completely all hostile
elements. The cavalry brigade Ottinger, reinforced by
two battalions of Foots had, as before mentioned, made a
stand at Szeglcd. A report having reached the Field-
Marshal that the rebels meant to force th's position, he
determined to offer them battle with all his disposable
troop., In this hope the Prince was disappointed. The

The second session of the Chambers of Piedmont
swpaesech openedfrom the King of
onthelst,atsATßuprlizA w;iLh the following
" Senators and Deputies !
" My heart is filled with happiness in finding myself
on this solemn opening of Parliament in tho midst of
you, who so worthily represent the nation. When the
Parliament was first opened our fortune was different,
but our hope was not greater than now ; nay, this hope
is increased in all men of heart ; for experience and
constancy in misfortune have been added to our
ancient rights. The labours you have to perform,
during this second session, are manifold, various, diffi-
cult, and, therefore, worthy of you. We have to develop
our internal institutions, and bring them into harmony
with the genious and wants of our age, and thus promote
the end to be accomplished by the Constituent Assembly
of thp kingdom of Upper Italy. The Constitutional
Government rests upon two points—the King and the
People. The first represents unity and strength ; the
second supports the liberty and progress of the nation.
I have performed, and will continue to perform, my part,
by adopting for my people free institutions, by confer-
ring places and honours upon men of merit and not of
mere fortune, by composing my court of the elite of the
people, and by devoting the lives of myself and my
children to the security and independence of the country.
You have ably assisted me in my difficult tusk. Continue
thus to afford me your aid, and be convinced that it is
only by the close union of our efforts the safety and hap-
piness of all can be created and maintained. The friend •
ship and esteem of the civilized nations of Europe, and,
above all, of those who are bound to us by common ties
of nationality, will follow and support us in our noble
object. We have done all in our power to strengthen
these fraternal ties; and if the late events in Central
Italy have suspended the effect of our measures, we are
confident they cannot be impeded for any length of
time. The confederation of the princes and the people
of Italy is one of the dearest wishes of our heart, and
we will use all our efforts that this may be promptly ac-
complished. My Ministers will make you more in-
timately acquainted with the policy to be followed by
the Government in those questions which agitate the
Peninsula, and I hope that you will find it judicious, ge-
nerous, and national. It is my duty to mention to you the
subject of our army and independence, the supreme ob-
ject of all our care. The corps of the army are com-
pletely re-organized and flourishing, and vie in beauty
and valour with our navy. In my late visits to them, I
have been able to observe in the countenances of the
soldiers, and in their acclamations, how great is the pa-
triotic ardour with which they are inspired. Every-
thing leads us to hope that the mediation offered to us by
two generous and friendly powers will quickly come to
the desired termination; and if this hope be deceived,
it will not prevent us from recommencing the war, with
the full confidence of gaining the victory. But, that
it may conquer, the army must have the concurrence of
the nation. This depends upon you, and above all upon
the attitude of those provinces which constitute so pre-
cious a portion of our kingdom, and are so dear to our
heart; of those provinces which join to the common
virtues the special merit of constancy and martyrdom.
Bear the sacrifices you have to make, for they will not
be of long duration, and the fruits to be gathered from
them will be perpetual. Prudence and courage com-
biaed shall save us. This is my wish, this is your task; in
performing which you will have before you the example
of your prince."

The Constituente Italiana of Florence, of the 30th,
gives an account of the result of the elections in
several towns of the Roman States. At Corneto the
elections were nearly frustrated by the opposition of
the clergy and nobility, so that only 241 electors
voted. At Albano, Terni, Perugia, Macerata, Fermo,
and Ascoli, all had proceeded regularly, and the can-
ditates elected belong to the national party.
The Tuscan Monitore has intelligence from Rome
up to the 27th, announcing that both traops and
volunteers are leaving Rome, and marching towards
the confines of Naples. A rumour was current that
the Neapolitans had already crossed the frontier, and
had an engagement with the column commanded by
GARIBALDI.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.

TRIAL OF MR. GAVAN DUFFY.

The Commission Court was opened this morning
by the Lord Mayor and Judge Ball and Baron Le-
froy, at eleven o'clock, when a new bill was sent up to
the city grand jury, at the suit of the Crown against
Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy, the proprietor of the
Nation newspaper, under the Crown and Govern-
ment Security Act. This course was thought ad-
visable by the law officers in consequence of the
demurrer which was partly ruled in favour of tke pri-
soner upon the bill formed at the last commission.
It is probable that the prisoner will be called on to
plead before the Court rises, and that his trial will
commence in the morning, as there is very little busi-
ness to be disposed of at the present session ; how-
ever, it is not all improbable but that some new
point will be raised to create delay, or some fresh
blunder committed which will set the prisoner at
liberty.
TILE CORN TRADE.—Our market to-day was
moderately stpplied, and all descriptions of grain met
a good demand. Wheat was 6d. to is., oats 3d. to
61, and grinding barley GI. dearer than on Friday.
Indian corn fully sopported its price. but the business
done was not lunge,

MILFORD HAVEN.—The transport Diana, bound
from Cork to Bengal, with a division of the 70th Foot on
board, has put into this port. It appears that, after leaving
Cork, she encountered some very severe weather, when she
shipped heavy seas, which spoiled a large quantity cf pro-
visions, and did considerable injury to the vessel. The de-
tachment consists of Captain Durnford, Lieutenants Bu-
chanan, Wills, Chute, and Crawley, one surgeon, seven
sergeants, one drummer, and 130 rank and file. This force

hasi been landed and bit ted in the town of Milford, and
will remain there whilst the vessel is repairing. •
MEDICAL OFFICER or HEALTH FOR THE CITY Of
LoxpoN.—At a meeting of the City Cummissioners of Sewers
yesterday, it was • resolved, after some discussion, that the
salary of Mr. Simon, the newly-appointed medical officer of
health for the city of London should be 5004 pi. =tun.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE WILLIAMS.
This bankrupt was described as of Jermyn-street, licensed
victualler, and to-day was appointed for consideration of the
certificate, which was a•ljourned for six months, on the
ground of extravagant expenditure.

SURREY SESSIoNS--( THIS DAY.)
Alfred Haynes, 21, was indicted for stealing sixteen pails,
the property of John Telleard.
The prosecutor said he was an oil and colour dealer, in
Great Suffolk-street, Southwark, and on the morning of the
25th ult. he placed six pails inside his shop door. After re-
maining a few minutes in the shop, he was called cut by a
man, who exclaims 1, " Some man has run away with your
pails." He went to the door and missed them, when he saw
the prisoner running away pursued by two policemen. The
pails now produced were his property.
Burton, police-constable 272 M, said that he was passing
Mr. Telleard's shop, saw prisoner snatch the pails from the
shop door and run away. He pursued him, and saw him
throw the pail into the shop of a general dealer, in Friar-
street. - After a smart chase he captured him. -
Wild, another constable, said that he saw the prisoner
throw the pails into the general dealer's, and after the pri-
soner was secured,, he returned to that shop, and found that
the pails had been carried into another part of the shop. The
owner of the place was taken into custody, when other stolen
property of considerable value was discovered, and on being
recognised that party was sent to the Central Criminal
Court for trial.

In defence, the prisoner said that he knew nothing of the
pails. . _

The jury found him Guilty, and the Court sentenced him
:o six months' hard labour in Brixton House of Correction.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THISDAY.)
MURDER OF A WOMAN BY HkR HUSBAND.
John Manley, a plasterer, residing at No. 3, Phoenix-street,
St. Giles's, were brought before Mr. Hardwick charged
with having murdered his wife Elizabeth, by dashing her
on the floor, and kicking f er about, the head and face.
The first witness called was a widow woman by the name
of Elizabeth Gurden, who on being sworn said—l live
at No. 74, Dudl •y-street, St. Giles 5, and occupy. the
front attic. I know the p ironer and his wife.
About one o'clock this morning I was in bed with my
daughter, when I was awoke by a knock at the room do: r.
I called out, " Who is there?' The deceased said, "It is
Mrs. Aanley, and my old man has turned me out of doors
without bonnet or shawl, or anything else." I then got
out of the bed and opened the door and let the deceased
in. She was then without cap or shoes. She came
to the bed, which was on the floor, and laid her
self down by my side and went to sleep. About half-past
seven this morning the prisoner came and knocked violently
at the door. I called out " Who is there ?" The prisoner
replied, "You have got somebody belonging to me here, open
the door." I said I could not open the door to any man till
I was dressed. He said " I will not wait." He then forced
open the door, and came into the room, and draghed his
wife out of bed by her heels to the window. He then
took hold of her by the shoUlders and dashec: her head on the
floor, and while she was laying there be Licked her about the
head, and said, "I will be the death of you." He then gave
her a dreadful kick, and she dropped her head, and never
spoke again.
By Mr. Leadly, the chief clerk—The deceased never spoke
after he dragged her off the bed. I then said to
the prisoner, "Manley, you have killed your wife."
He replied, "You are a. good-for-nothing old --." The
prisoner then stooped over his wife and pulled something
from her pocket, and ran out of the room. I saw him again
about ten minutes after, and told him that his wife was dead.
He said "I am going up to see her." I then went for a con-
stable, and gave the prisoner in charge.
Mr. Leadly—Was the prisoner's wifa sober when she came
into your room ? Witness—Yes, sir, she was perfectly sober.
Mr. HARDwicK—How long had she been in bed with you
and when was the last time you heard her speak? Witness
—She (deceased) came to her room about one o'clock, and
remained till half-past seven. Heard her speak just before
the prisoner pulled her off the bed. Deceased then said to
prisoner, " Jack, do not that." The prisoner was quite
sober.
Mr. Haßnwroc—Was the prisoner in the habit of ill-
using his wife? Witness—He was, sir. About a fortnight
ago be struck her and blackened both her eyes. He told her on
Saturday last that he would be the death of her. The pri-
soner did not express the least regret for what he had done.
I have no more to say.
Agnes May said, I live at No. 3, Phoenix-street. I was
awoke about half-past twelve last night by hearing the pri-
soner and his wife quarrelling in the back yard. Heard the
prisoner call to his wife to come in doors. She said she
would not. I heard no more. The prisoner and his wife,
when they first came to lodge at Phoenix-street, appeared to
be a very happy couple. Deceased was a teetotaller then,
but latterly she had taken to drinking, and the result has
been repeated quarrelling between them.
Jury 30 F said, about a quarter-past eight this morning I
was called by the first witness to go to 74, Dudley-street,
where a man had murdered his wife. I went there, and on
going into the front attic I found a woman lying on the
floor on her back quite dead. I examined the body, but did
not see &ny blood. I then sent for a surgeon, and took the
prisoner Ulu) custody. I then told him he was charged with
killing his wife. He replied, "Yes, I done it by kicking her
on the side of the head and neck, because she robbed me of
two shillings." I then c nveyed him to the station.
Mr. William Simpson, surgeon, No. 4, High-street
Bloomsbury, said—l was sent for to No. 74, Dudley.
strt ef, and on going to the house I found a woman lying
on her back ou the floor in the front attic, quite dead.
There was no marks of violence or blood upon her. Her
face was bloated, and had more the appearance of a per.
son having died from a fit or a fall than from a kick. I
cannot give any further evidence until a post ?mem ex
amination takes place.
The prisow r was then remanded

ALLEGED FELONY DT A CLERK.-The magis•
trates at Bristol yesterday were occupied in hearing a serious
charge of felony against a confidential clerk in the eminent
mercantile firm of Miles, Kington, and Co. The accused,
Christopher Matthew Shaw West, was charged With stealing
a certain valuable security for WO/. Mr. P. W. S. Miles,
M.P. for Bristol; deposed that he, jointly with
.his brother,
Mr. Wm. Miles, M.P. for East. Somerset, was executor of
the estate of the late Mr. Phillip John Miles, and the
accused, Mr. West, was a clerk in their employ.
Amongst the effects of the deceased was a loan• note
of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway for 5001. This note
had been stolen, and in-a convefiation with witness on the
16th of January, the prisoner adniitted that he had deposited
it with Mr. Robert Goss, a sharebroker, as a security for
money advanced to him. The prisoner had: no right so to
deal with the note, and had taken it feloniously. Mr. Gls►
the sherebroker, stated that some time ago the accused, who
was well known to him, asked him if he could get an ad-
vance of 2001. on the note. About the Bth or 10th of Ja-
nuary he brought it, and on the I6th witness advanced the
money. Inspector Bosworth proved that he pursued the
prisoner to Hamburgb, where, upon the application of Colonel
Hodges, the British Chargé d'Affaires, the Senate passed a
decree for the prisoner's arrest, and he was handed over to
witness's custody, and brought to England. The wags'
trates committed him for trial.
